In hindsight I'd move Will's mum and Jay's dad up a tier. Sorry lads poor decision from me.

[@spaceghost8886]

Jay’s Dad is up there with Gilbert lad, I’ll let you off this time but don’t let it happen again 😂

[@MrAsan0]

Also I don't know how much the US version appears but Simon's mum was missed in this tier list too.

[@mrchopper477]

I will probs say Jays dad is Goated. I seriously laughed so much on his sarcastic lines to Jay and the way he portrays the character in such a funny way😂😂

[@mikelavine9452]

Yeah, Jay’s dad was great. He was meant to be a horrible bastard so the role was executed very well.

[@dj71162]

If youre struggling for content, you could start looking into the American Pie series, as I think they are the real American Inbetweeners. Maybe compare them or make videos comapring the 4 theatrical films to the awful direct to DVD ones or just review something like Superbad.

[@thebotbuilder]

Let's be real here, any British person has met a Will, Simon, Jay & Neil at least once in their life in secondary school/college... well the UK versions anyways... so glad I have never met a USA Jay in my life 🤣

[@berennicholas5003]

I had them all in my friend group. The specky kid, the thick kid, the liar and the average kid that everyone thinks is a bit odd

[@noodlebrains2689]

I was a total Simon and knew a few Jays

[@closingyak17894]

I know a USA Jay he's so weird istg

[@leonsmith4845]

I literally met the actors lol 😂

[@Mike-yt7py]

Met plenty of Donovan's as well!

[@thomsboys77]

That photo of US Jay will forever haunt my dreams

[@sarahhumphrey9984]

You know UK Will is top tier when you show a two second clip of him and my brain auto-fills “feisty one, you are!”

[@R0L0s]

Mines always "i....... am a man. Who has recently bought a house..."

[@XhoowieX]

US Jay is the worst casting ever.

[@IA9876]

I'd maybe put the UK Charlotte in good. She helped hold Will to account and without her some of the memorable scenes and plotlines wouldn't have been the same.

[@Live-by2vk]

I don’t think you can rate Tara higher than Charlotte myself, personally I’d of put Tara in alright and big jugs in good 😁

[@tommoorcroft2026]

Yeah, I agree, I found her quite down to earth in most episodes, and half the time, it was usually Will being the arsehole in the situations.

[@finegasstockting7427]

From a passer by viewer of your channel: I've watched your videos sporadically and really enjoyed them - usually when you appear on my recommended - and I almost always click on to see a new instalment. From this vid and from hearing you on some of your other videos, you seem to be at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here on out as a channel since this series has reached its natural conclusion, but I think the easy answer lies here in the comments section of your videos. I've seen several people on a number of your videos ask you to do a side by side review of other UK/US shows, and I think that's a market that has a lot of potential. It doesn't matter how many of these other shows you've seen to date, because your audience clearly really enjoys your reactions and I think it would even be interesting to see if there were US remakes you think stand up or are even better than their UK counterparts. Just because your success to date has mainly been from amusingly trash this show with your coarse, withering tone doesn't mean you are limited to only being able to do that. Your honesty and your humour and your biggest tools, and so long as you approach future series with that at the forefront, you will be grand. Ultimately, my advice would be to start to binge some more fun series with multiple national versions and brand yourself as that person who weighs in and weighs up the two versions. It's proved to be a really fun and entertaining format. the demand is clearly there for more, and from the success of this series, you should have the belief that you're the chap to continue bringing that to the KZbin community. All the best and good luck !

[@LumbardiYT]

Only just seen this comment but thanks a lot for the advice. I definitely agree that continuing down the theme of UK vs USA us the way to go, as I've not really seen many other people do it and there's definitely a viewerbase there. Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment this, it really means a lot! :D

I think Carly (UK) was supposed to be a bit boring. She seemed like she was mainly just supposed to be the pretty, popular girl Simon fancied for reasons only known to himself.

[@robertgriffiths7483]

UK jay deserves a tier of his own, one if”of the greatest tv characters of all time.

[@vinnyford5834]

I literally said the exact same thing!!

[@OV3RDRIVE24]

Bus wankers!

[@philipglover3295]

When you consider Joe Thomas ( Uk Simon) and Kara Tointon who played Tara are married in real life it shows how good the Uk version is after the scenes they were in in the Warwick Uni episodes

He’s married to Hannah (her sister)

[@R0L0s]

Tf. Geez Americas a different breed. Who would cast those tossers

[@josephpiana-algie3169]

LUMBARDI is GOATED for putting Gilbert at the very top. I love all 4 main characters with a passion almost equally, but Gilbert is the only choice for number 1 in my opinion

[@LeviParsons31]

Couldn’t agree more mate this is some top tier ranking 👍

[@bootleg8923]

Honestly I almost entirely agree with this - would've had Jay's dad at the lower end of Good though, he definitely deserves higher than Alright - and I'd probably put Brie at the higher end of Bus Turd, not only was the whole aspect of Jay having a 13yr old girlfriend an utterly Godawful idea, but the character herself was just so terrible - not knowing her left and right, getting her first period while she had already been dating Jay for a while, her sickly sweet child-like attitude - it was just unbearable

[@Ashton-ty7ms]

I’m not having jays dad in alright he’s GOATED

[@katonnor]

Mostly agree. I think I would have put UK Donovan just before UK Niel's dad because he got more screen time and like you said a very realistic bully. Even though Will was his main target it wasn't like a random choice. He hated Will because he got with Charlotte giving Donovan realistic motivation. I also enjoyed how friendly he acted whenever there were parents around very different to when there isn't.

[@irishlilyxx6106]

If I did a tier list of all my secondary school teachers Greg Davies (Drama) would still be in “Goated.”

[@noodlebrains2689]

Man, you were so lucky to have had him as a teacher. What a legend

[@JC-km5xw]

Was looking for someone with this comment it’s currently 1am in the uk and my mind was blown when I made the realisation ah

[@ipperz12]

USA Todd should be GOATED. Sure, he wasn't as realsitic as the UK Todd, but he was the only character in the US version who actually had some funny lines.

[@noodlebrains2689]

Maybe next compare British vs. American versions of other shows, there may be some obscure ones but the office is an obvious choice that you'd probably actually enjoy. But also, Da Ali G show and Bad education would be right up your alley I think.

[@dansanders2002]

Where did you go bro? It's almost been a year? I used to watch all your videos as comfort during my uni work. Hope you're doing well

[@dansanders2002]

@@LumbardiYT Hey man. I appreciate you want a break but I've got a video series you could do if you ever want to get back to content. Bad Education was similar in terms of The Inbetweeners with the shocking jokes and audience its aimed at. The new series is really poor. It's very woke and contains hardly any adult humour. You'll see what I mean if you watch it. Just thought it would be cool to make a comparrison on.

[@treborschafer3945]

Can't argue too much with that. Though top for me would be Jay, Will, Mr. Gilbert, Simon then Neil.

[@frazze2113]

Mr. Gilbert Should have gotten his own category

[@jess7069]

Putting US Donovan in bad was too kind

[@tommyshelby3457]

You should definitely do an episode ranking next then move onto something else like skins us vs uk

[@lt8400]

The inbetweeners is so good that im sure most of us are laughing at the clips with no sound needed. The UK one is alright aswell

[@bcfcfantv5339]

Finally we've made it to the end

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

Genuinely surprised that you didn't put ever UK character above every US character. I mean you mostly did. But i thought it would be a full rundown of the UK characters best to worst followed by a full rundown of the US characters.

[@circle2867]

jay's dad has to be in goated imo. he has some of the best lines in the show

“Probably gonna put Neil’s dad above him” well that explains a lot. mad

[@Mr.W00dley]

I think UK Charlotte should have gone in "Good". Compared to UK Carly, I thought UK Charlotte had better and funnier scenes, especially with Will, and delivered them very well!

[@grimekid666]

Just putting all the females in alright 😂

[@iwanttocomplain]

I think the main problem with the US version was the casting director. The four main characters just seemed a bit uncomfortable on their roles or didn’t ‘own’ them. If your wondering what else to make videos on why don’t you carry on comparing UK to US sitcoms as there are so many and they nearly all failed.

[@vinnyford5834]

Simons dad has to be goated!!!

[@djmattblack]

Charlotte "Big jugs" in alright, come on she was one of the best female characters and Emily Atack is really funny in her own show as well

[@wetlettuce4768]

Neil's dad is on top of Todd....

Wasn't there that guy in the American version that was the equivalent of Steve from the first episode who then ended up becoming a semi-reoccuring character? (and a nonce)
