Is anyone watching this Inbetweeners thing?

What a pile of crap! The programme was funny back in the day but this Jimmy Carr thing is absolutely dire. Also why do they keep embarrassing the women who were in the show? First Anthony Head’s daughter and then the woman who played Will’s mum with unfunny sexist jokes.

How are they going to get two hours out of this?

You've just reminded me to turn it on now!

AbbieDabbieDoo · 01/01/2019 21:14

I'm so disappointed - I thought it was going to be a new episode, maybe set at a school reunion, not a stupid/embarrassing compilation show. I'm hungover and knackered and kept myself awake just for this 😂

trudeie · 01/01/2019 21:15

I was expecting an actual acting reunion as their characters... not some sort of talk show? Bit confused now Hmm

Oh God, Jimmy's just got the tone so wrong. He's just awful.

Makes you realize just how good inbetweeners was - so offensive but the joke was always on the boys. Jimmy thinks the gag is just being really rude. It's awful to watch.

Biggest let down of the year so farGrin

Theunreasonableone · 01/01/2019 21:23

ifeellikeanidiot I just said to DH how awful and sexist it is and he said “As with anything Jimmy Carr is involved with”.

I'm enjoying it apart from Jimmy Carr. He's a massive prick.

meow1989 · 01/01/2019 21:27

It's very self indulgent and cringe worthy isn't it?

Veterinari · 01/01/2019 21:27

I refuse to watch Jimmy Carr in anything. Misogynistic arsehole

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 01/01/2019 21:31

Yep. Agree Jimmy Carr has got the tone so wrong. He's like that embarrassing drunk bloke at a wedding.

amy85 · 01/01/2019 21:36

I'm so disappointed I thought it was going to be a proper episode

DaisyDreaming · 01/01/2019 21:38

The only funny joke was saying that a 2 hour program like this needs lots of filler

Hoopaloop · 01/01/2019 21:39

Yeah was expecting a special episode. This is shit.

Littlechocola · 01/01/2019 21:40

It’s awful

Fairylea · 01/01/2019 21:40

I think it’s too soon to do this type of thing. They all look the same, 10 years isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things. Feels like they’re just trying to milk it!

DaisyDreaming · 01/01/2019 21:50

How are these peadophile jokes ok?

Theunreasonableone · 01/01/2019 21:53

I think everyone just looks really embarrassed to be on the thing

trudeie · 01/01/2019 21:53

The only person who looks enthusiastic to be there is Jimmy Carr. The boys all look completely ready to go home and awkward.

theycallmebabydriver · 01/01/2019 21:54

Same thing, I thought it was an actual episode, this is a total pile. Also, why is there no Emily Atack? There's people who barely had 30 seconds on screen in the second film there, and Carly's little brother ffs

The tattoo Shock

CatnissEverdene · 01/01/2019 21:55

Is it me or does James Buckley look like Manuel from Fawlty Towers with those veneers.......................

ifeellikeanidiot · 01/01/2019 21:56

I'm guessing it was prob recorded when Emily was in Australia.

MadisonAvenue · 01/01/2019 21:56

Is it not a special episode? I'd forgotten it was on tonight but that was what I thought it was going to be! Not sure I'll bother with catch up.

theycallmebabydriver · 01/01/2019 22:01

I'm guessing it was prob recorded when Emily was in Australia.

She was interviewed on the radio and said she was booked to do it and got an email a few weeks later saying she wasnt needed. Confused

Tarsnip · 01/01/2019 22:01

Gosh, yes compeletely agree. This is a pile of rubbish! Very disappointed ☹️
