The Inbetweeners USA

COR BLIMEY BRUV 'AVV YEW SEEN MOI STAPLAH OH LAWKS IT RAFFER APPEARS TEW BE IN A JELLY

That's what the first episode of the original Office sounds like to us.

[brenchill]

All Brits either sound like William Regal, groundskeeper Willy or a cockney chimney sweep. There is no in between.

[Summers]

wow.. what an absolutely shit trailer.

[GA!]

You know what was a great US remake? Red Dwarf. How that never made it past the pilot stage is beyond me.

[TCO]

Is it possible to unsee that? Why is Jay fat, why is Neil look like a stoner and why is Will good looking?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that is shite. Just so bad.

To be fair, a lot of British people have the mentality that American's can't do comedy because they don't get subtlty or wit, so it's not like we're at all saints in this argument. But I really don't understand why, after the success of the show in the UK (it's huge, the movie did something like £34 million at the box office in a few weeks, which is crazy for any film which isn't Mamma Mia I think) that they can't give it a shot on a bigger network.

[Dan]

This makes me sad

[NobBe Nobbs]

Unbelievably, a Youtube comment makes the most sense - watching that was like watching somebody quote and/or re-enact some of the funniest bits from the show. It's still funny, but we have literally seen it all before.

[Jimmy]

Wait, did you actually laugh at any point in that trailer?

[TCO]

It's not that at all. I still rewatch The Inbetweeners regularly and it's still hilarious even though I've seen it loads of times before. This is just shit.

[Lineker]

Wow and damn.

I think I've found something that I like less than The Inbetweeners.

[Adam]

This has to be the worst American remake ever, and I say that having only seen that trailer and an interview with the cast at some MTV awards.

It's like they've totally missed the point on every single facet of the show. Tremendous work.

[Colly]

I feel my misgivings based on the initial promo photo in the general TV thread may well be vindicated now, after being royally yelled at because 'US remakes aren't always shit!'. No, they aren't, but this is.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

MTV you say?

[Johnny Drama]

I wasn't expecting a lot but that was worse than I imagined.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

I could never see it translating well to an American audience because it's so fundamentally British it doesn't translate that well.

Saying that I thought the same about Shameless and I enjoyed the American version of that.

[Colly]

Shameless didn't look anywhere near as shite as that though. Anyone know when series 2 is on over here?

[Stevie B]

Well that was better than expected. Nothing really made me laugh, but I'm going to keep watching and see where they go with it.
