    Bloody funny stuff

    This is an hilarious little channel 4 series that will not dissapoint, it's not highly original (teenage boys trying to score!!) but it's very funny and at times does push things to the line, it is however a lot of fun

    Grange Hill meets Shameless

    I was confused by this. It's middle-class comfortable Surrey suburbia trying so hard to be shocking. Lots of over-acting, posh actors thinking they are in Shameless. Very rude and yet very safe at the same time. Some of it is painful to watch, but it killed a couple of hours. I suppose if you live in a detached house in Virginia Water and daddy is an actuary or hedge fund manager this would be mildly entertaining. Posh lads say 'c*ck', 'w*nk' and 's*unk' a lot. Which is hardly Shameless material!

    Superb English comedy

    Anyone who has been through college/sixth form will certainly be able to relate to this series and the characters.

    It's directed and scripted superbly and whilst not funny throughout like most sit-coms there are a few moments in each episode that will have you in stitches. The beauty of The Intbetweeners is its so much real-life that even without the comedy factor it would still be a good series.

    :)

    friends, Simon (Joe Thomas), Lee (James Buckley) and Neil (Blake Harrison), none of whom are that cool or credible.

    actually, the second friend isn't lee. It's Jay.

    Other than that, the inbetweeners is HILARIOUS. I STRONGLY recommend it to anyone and everyone.

    I love the inbetweeners, and anyone who watches it will too.

    So funny!

    I came across this show totally on accident flipping through channels and started laughing immediately. One of those real stand-out shows that don't come around too frequently. You just feel so good after watching it.

    Hilarious

    This is simply the funniest TV series I have EVER watched. It was completely hilarious! it was so funny, that i laughed so much i kept missing what was going on, so i was constantly rewinding to keep up with the laughs. Being a similar age and having been to sixth form made this even more funny, as sadly I could relate to everything in all the episodes.

    I would 100% recommend this to anyone... maybe not your mum.
