The Inbetweeners USA is a poor remake of the classic UK sitcom that not even Taika Waititi could save. American remakes of British TV shows are a famously risky proposition. The Office is one of the rare examples of a U.S. series that took the concept and successfully adapted the humor, but for every success story, there are about ten failures. Classic UK comedies like Fawlty Towers was mangled into the aptly titled Payne, while Red Dwarf USA never made it to air after two awful pilots. 3g2v1n

The Inbetweeners is perhaps one of the most famous British sit-coms of all time, but the more recent Derry Girls could certainly lay the claim to being one of the funniest. Both series are based around a group of young teenagers, trying to navigate their way through school, relationships and friendships.

The Inbetweenersis often considered to be one of the best British comedies of all time. Its incredible level of cringe-humour is tough to watch at times, but the core group of Will, Jay, Simon and Neil make for addictive repeat viewing thanks to their awkward teenager experiences and life decisions. We may have been treated to three seasons, two films and an abomination of an American adaptation, but obviously everyone still wants to see and hear more from the boys.

Many would agree that no comedy can compare to the upfront, awkward genius of British sitcoms. So many of these shows have attempted to be remade for American audiences, resulting in an almost 100 percent failure rate (with one very obvious exception), suggesting that the original is normally best left alone.

The Inbetweenerswas a hit television series in the United Kingdom, taking a group of teenagers who weren't the most popular group as they go through their school life. The series proved to be so popular that it ended up having two feature films released, proving just how good it was.

It’s a well-known fact that when it comes to comedy (and drama), the Brits really do it better, with crisper writing, sharper performances, and tighter plotting. Maybe it’s because their comedies have fewer episodes, so that the writers have more time to focus on what makes a show really funny rather than focusing so much on fluff.

The differences between American and British humor are quite stark, with the former generally being considered to be way more accessible and relatable... for obvious reasons. However, this perception is somewhat warped, especially given the fact that a large portion of American sitcoms are inspired by their British counterparts (The Office is perhaps the most notable example of this).

The Inbetweeners was an incredible British comedy that follows four friends during their final year at school, detailing the ups and downs of British school life. With the main characters not being the most popular of the school either, life can be tough at times.
