British comedy can go either way – and this time it’s a pure win. The In Betweeners, a BBC production, is about a bunch of highschool kids who are not really nerds and not really popular, they are just kinda stuck somewhere in between. Tonight I just finished watching the final episode of the 1st season, and there was a line that was precious. It’s the end of the night, the prom is over, kids are slowly drifting out, a school administrator with little tolerance for petty children crap is standing back assessing the overall situation to which he says:
“Well done children, a fairly innocuous jamboree of adolescent nonsense. Fear not, the relationships that some of you have entered into tonight, well, they may seem like everything now, but they’ll be over in a matter of weeks. “
Great show – however it’s not available to us Yanks from the BBC website, and no full episodes are posted on the BBC America website (although it is on the channel) – but a quick google search will get you full on your way to watching any episode of this great show. You really need to watch from the start to fully understand the character development, but if you just wanna laugh, then jump in anywhere you like – it’s all still just as good.
