They're supposed to be "The Inbetweeners", so not cool or uncool, average, yet Jay in the USA version looks like the biggest loser in the show I don't think any of the actors suited their characters in the US version to be honest e.g. Will doesn't look much like a nerd and Carly was a reasonably attractive girl in the British version, while in the US version she was a super model. Even the smaller part characters as well, like the guy who approaches Simon after Jay saying "bus wankers" (or "bus turds" in the US version) - he looks terrifying in the British version which is what you'd expect from a hard man who's been insulted, while in the US version he doesn't look terrifying at all Overall, I would say they were just lazy with the US version - I think they could have thought of their own ideas instead copying most of the British version word for word, and they definitely could have picked actors that suited the characters better. Or better still, they could have not remade it at all - if you love a show so much, why remake it when you can watch it anyway?

[@SmokeyBCN]

What makes the original show show entertaining is how relateable and mundane it is, despite the antics the main characters get into. They are all experiences and stories that most British kids growing up in the 90s and 00s would have heard of or been familiar with. Mix that in with distinct characters and well written set pieces and it becomes a hit. But the relateableness is probably lost on most people of other nationalities or age groups. This is a big reason why simply copying the characters and stories over to the US and expecting it to work is just a failed recipe.

[@jem2886]

Also the camera work in the original is more grimy and more real probably because of the budget but it really did work with the whole point of the show this seems almost too professional

[@kamilyakadyr7063]

Exactly! It’s also timeless - it shows accurately how teens behave, not just in England but in general. It’s mocking yet relatable. I’m a girl who grew up in 2010s Denmark and even I can relate to it because you see that behavior in other people, your friends and even yourself. The people I refer to aren’t British and aren’t even just men. Of course it’s a British show, and as a European you recognize that Britishness, yet it still isn’t limited to that nationality. that It’s a very accurate portrayal of how young people seem to behave through that mockery and comedic perspective. Apart from bad acting and the bad producing of the show, it also misses the delivery to the audience. Tye problem with the American version is that it’s trying to cater English humor or lifestyle into American audiences, and it doesn’t work. They didn’t adapt it properly. Skins US had this exact issue. When you adapt a certain platform from a different nationality you have to consider what kind of audience you cater to as well. The office US is probably the only successful adaption because it understood that and successfully adapted it to fit with the American mentality and humor.

What makes the original show better is it’s classic British humour. There were crude jokes in the original which I don’t think were allowed in the American one because I think it wouldn’t have gone down well with American audiences.

I think it actually carries over perfectly, it's not at all lost on other nationalities, and people from the 80's onwards are probably going to see parts of their school life. That's one thing that makes it a bad adaptation: The original already did it better and it makes perfect sense in the US anyway. Actually, some of the slang makes it even funnier. You are right about the appeal, and that's one thing that I don't think American shows get, or the movies that the OG crew made. People aren't showing up to see a dumb American gross out movie which is all the two films are. They're showing up to laugh at a bunch of characters who remind you of school, for good and bad, as parodies. They're not glammed up or sexxed up. They're just a bit cringe, and that's what makes them funny. It's not like American Pie, where a very similar bunch of boys are the heroes and get their goal at the end, which shows they learned nothing. The other characters in the story are characters, and will tell them to fuck off. At every point in time, there is a point of view where you can laugh at one or all of them. Also, the casting is rubbish. You can't cast a Will that's more handsome than Simon, and who keeps forgetting to do something weird with his jaw, and to walk a little funny, and to hunch. You can't dress a fat ginger kid in a bomber jacket that looks like something Nico Bellic would wear off the boat in GTA IV and Dad jeans and then have him insult the only one of the group who's actually dressed like a kid his age might dress, and better than him, and expect the joke to land. In the original, even if the joke didn't land and you didn't laugh at Will, you'd probably laugh at Jay because Jay dresses like a twat, and also like he's poor. You can't have the kids insult him for a "briefcase" which is a messenger bag. Which at the time, was fairly trendy. The joke doesn't land because it doesn't make sense, it's just stolen from the original. Hell, just have them call it a handbag and insult his sexuality, that would actually land. The other thing is, while the camera work is more polished (We are definitely missing the show being shot mostly with daylight and harsh white light making things look shit, stop trying to make things look good when they shouldn't), but the acting is worse, and that is well on display when they quote from the original. The originals the crew had ironed out to the point where the delivery felt like banter, but had great comedic timing, with some great reaction shots chopped in to keep the pace up. This feels underrehearsed and chopped together in the edit, and instead of having the camera cut to a character's face to see their reaction, we cut to a wide to show off the whole set design and pause for the audience to laugh because we're making a show for stupid Americans. Thing is, Americans had a school experience and enjoyed the original because of it, that's why they made the remake. They've only made things worse here, US audiences can deal with some non-hollywood style filmmaking, and if people would realise it maybe we'd stop getting blockbuster films made that pause for the audience to laugh, which is maybe the only thing worse than just putting a gag reel in.

[@megs2717]

I love how literally EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. is just throwing shade at this And so is this one

[@kirstyellenmeek]

Why have I decided to watch this ironically?

[@MrHJW1995]

3:41 is literally the guy fucking up his line. “But I... I have...” In a way I really feel like Taika Waititi (who was the actual director) was deliberately trying to sabotage this show.

[@davewalker9899]

Only America could ruin this show so badly and make it another generic American show

[@wagwan2096]

Just proves that English banter is better then American banter

[@Jacob-rs5xc]
