Going by the sexual language used in The Inbetweeners I'd doubt she likes it. It's everything she hates. It's the type of culture she's always on about hating. That's what made me think of her.

Is that rape culture? Because I’ve no idea what rape culture is supposed to be.

Not sure to be honest. There is a good bit of language in it that she wouldn't deem appropriate for young men to use when discussing sexual acts. I's all linked in a way.

I genuinely have no idea what Louise O'Neill thinks of The Inbetweeners, but presumably we can all agree that the sexual language is mostly from Jay, who it turns out is actually a virgin and completely clueless about sex.

"She was so wet for me, you could hear the waves breaking in her fanny"

It's true about Jay.
Just going on the past few days in the media/social media I don't think it's acceptable anymore.

It probably wouldn't ever have been considered acceptable, but for the fact that it's parodying the kind of 'laddishness' that Jay aspires to.

Louise would have enjoyed the wall to wall make suffering

Probably would have considered it sexual assault when the big black Jesus healed the governors wife

I think her favourite film might be the Passion of the Christ... I was only going to refer to the 6 minutes of non-stop flogging, but the more I think about the film, it seems right up her alley for the treatment of an accused.

I am not bringing religion into this in anyway, just the film!

Shir the innocent parties in the Belfast trial could have been doing the same!

I initially wondered if that might be the case, but the transcript doesn't read like that.

I will not have a bad word said about The Inbetweeners by anyone, including Jesus. It’s remains one of the best show ever to come out of England.

Except the 2nd movie. Utter crap.

The first film isn't that great either-let's be honest.

It's sorta like how Xmas specials of tv shows can often 'unravel' the work done in normal seasons. I see the films as the same-a contained story in one episode is enough. A film 'stretches' things-and suddenly it's not as funny.

You are being kind.

It was ****.

20 minute shows stretched to over 90 mins don't work.

Yep, I share your sentiments-I was just trying to be kind.

He's also the one responsible for that "buswanker" thing that became popular with boyracer types for a while.

Which probably ruined the film for a lot of AH posters.

It probably would have ruined the film for LON too had he been white. Accused of rape? Guilty. Found not guilty? Still guilty.

Thing about The Inbetweeners is that the girls or women are always in control. LON would probably miss that.

Carly always decided if she wanted to be with the guy who obsesses about her, Jay's first girlfriend dumped him and controlled how far they went.

The lads always came across as being immature. That's the message there. But she would probably focus on their language.

Jay had one victory when he eventually stood up to the bully who was his Dad and told him to Fcuk Off.

How did you come to this rather bizarre conclusion???? :rolleyes: Where has anyone on this thread demonstrated any resentment to anyone merely due to their skin colour?

Point out one instance.....Oh wait, i forgot you dont do counter arguments or debate do you? its just childish silly little retorts where you seem to think make you look intelligent and rather more ironically your post count is very high on this thread...

Saying AH is full of racists every so often is easier than having to actually make points and stuff.

You should head over to the Celebrities and Showbiz forum. It would blow your mind.

I think the show very accurately depicted that, superficially, teenage girls come across more mature than teenage boys. Under the surface, they’re not really and are filled with insecurities too, but teenage girls have more tools at their disposable to paper over the craics: make up, the fact that they can better hide when they are feeling horny etc. I think to teenage boys, the girls can seem to hold all the chips and the show portrayed that well.

when the show firt came out i hated it and coudnt watch it. i found it crass and vulger. years later i accedentally watched an eposode from near the end that spured me on to go back and wathc it properly.
i now think its a work of genious. when you look at it through the lens of insecurities it makes a huge diference. jay is the imbodyment of that . he is all talk about past conquests and all the women he has bedded but its all an act to protect himself form the reality of his inexeperience.

Using the 4 lads collectively, it is scarily accurate for guys growing up.
Without the briefcase obviously.

The inbetweeners is a great show, that is all that needs to be said.

even look at smaller stuff like wills mum and the 'banter' he receives about her being hit and everyone wanting to be with her

look at the yellow car and the shame it had based on it being a '****heap' , but in reality it gave the lads great independants

Don't forget Neil's dad.
The Inbetweenrs would have sort of the coming of age program/film when I was finishing school/going to college and so much of it was so relevant to every day occurrences.
