Inbetweeners Moments: A Personal Tribute
Oh, this show has so many great one-liners and scenes; it's hard to pick just one. Today, we will explore some of the most memorable moments from the Inbetweeners series, focusing on the The Field Trip episode.
The Field Trip: A Choice Moment
Two scenes in The Field Trip stand out to me the most. In the first scene, Will tries to grab Lauren's attention by doing a Yoda impression, which only makes him look disabled. It's a humorous yet relatable moment.
Another memorable scene involves James 'Jay', who approaches an elderly woman working at the beachside canteen. Both these moments are a testament to the show's ability to blend humour and relatable moments from young adulthood.
Favorite Inbetweeners Episodic Highlights
While The Field Trip is filled with memorable scenes, there are several episodes that resonate with me due to their relatable themes. Buying alcohol underage, for example, is a classic Inbetweeners moment that always makes me laugh. The whole episode, with its array of gags and antics, exemplifies the series' spirit. Similarly, the school trip episode, though uneven, is memorable for its comedic qualities and the in-your-face moments that the characters share.
Other episodes like the visit to Thorpe Park and the trip to Warwick are standout moments. One that never fails to amuse is James Jay's reaction to the squirrel that had been robbing them of their treats. The dancing sequences in the film to impress the girls, especially to that retro music, are moments I'll never forget.
The Goodies and Their Songs: A Side Note
While on the topic of old school humour, let's take a detour into the world of reminiscing classic tunes. A popular song from the The Goodies is Too Old to Be a Teenager, which is known for its catchy chorus and relatable lyrics about the struggle of being deemed "too old" by your peers yet still feeling like a newcomer. The B-side, Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me, is another song that feels outdated. Despite its initial promise, it quickly becomes boring.
The Goodies, known for their comedic sketches, haven't always been celebrated for their musical talent. In fact, even their music is reviewed with a humble nod, acknowledging that their best records are likely their sketches, not their songs. This perspective complements the overall vibe of the Inbetweeners series, where memories from youth and laughter are king.
So, while you can revisit the Inbetweeners series to enjoy its memorable moments, you might also find yourself humming old songs from The Goodies, reflecting on the times when you could be too old to be a teenager, and too young to be a mother's pet.
