So tonight sees the airing of The Inbetweeners Top 10 Moments on E4, and later this week the release of the long anticipated movie. Unfortunately, I won't be watching the movie until I get the all-clear (or at least a description of the scene) of any vomit related incidents so I can decide whether to go to the cinema or wait for the DVD release, and I hope I can do the former.
You'd think an emetophobe like myself would be one to stay away from The Inbetweeners, and that was my first impression too. Unfortunately, a delivery shift at work one night involved my colleagues watching the Series 1 DVD while waiting for the delivery to arrive, and the beginning of the episode showed a brief clip of the infamous 'Simon-throws-up-on-Carli's-brother' scene. I would have boycotted the episode had I not been in the presence of people I was still trying to make a good impression on, however I didn't want to seem like a pussy, so I stayed and watched, and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it.
I went home, and the next day began watching the first series, and although I had to mute and look away a few times on the scene mentioned above, the beginning of each episode of that series played that clip a hell of a lot, and so with that, and some structured desensitisation by watching that clip on YouTube, I became immune to that scene. Even to the extent where I found it funny. Unfortunately, I haven't become immune to the tent scene in Series 3 as of yet, because I can't work miracles, but it still hasn't stopped me from enjoying each episode (apart from the tent scene).
So, no one knows until 11 this evening what the top ten moments are, so as a bit of fun (mainly for myself as I have nothing better to do while I wait for my dinner), I've put together my top ten Inbetweeners moments.
10. Series 3 - Episode 3 - Will's Dillema - "Waterside" - Jay and Neil spot Mr Gilbert admring fluffy toys, and the next day tease him about it by saying "waterside" around him. Leading to them getting detention.
9. Series 2 - Episode 1 - The Field Trip - Jay looks for his 'seaside MILF' - The awkward moment where Jay thinks the ice-cream lady is the "yummy mummy who wants me to spunk on her tummy" and awkwardly asks her "can you suck me off?"
8. Series 1 - Episode 2 - Bunk Off - "Bumder" - Will gets drunk and ends up calling Neil's dad a 'bumder' - a mixture of 'bummer' and 'bender.'
7. Series 2 - Episode 4 - Night Out in London - "Bus Wankers" - After successfully yelling "bus wankers" at people, Jay tries it again in London, but it backfires.
6. Series 2 - Episode 1 - The Field Trip - Punching a Fish - After Simon falls into the water, things go from bad to worse when they catch a fish - and Neil decides the most humane way to kill it - punching it to death.
5. Series 3 - Episode 4 - Trip to Warwick - "Tactical Wank" Gone Wrong - After Simon fails to get an erection after taking Jay's advice to have a 'tactical wank,' he ends up getting angry. Really angry.
4. Series 2 - Episode 5 - Duke of Edinburgh Awards - Jay Gets Caught - Jay goes into a room he thinks is empty for a 'quick tug' but ends up getting caught by an old lady in there. And then by Daisy and the old woman's son.
3. Series 1 - Episode 3 - Thorpe Park - "Inconsiderate Assholes!" - Will kicks off when people are already sat at the front of Nemesis Inferno calling them "inconsiderate assholes" - but it turns out they're from the Happy Foundation, a charity for people with Down Syndrome.
2. Series 2 - Episode 2 - Work Experience - Simon Gets Lucky - Simon meets Hannah, who suddenly starts to give him a handjob in the middle of an under 18s disco while Jay, Neil and Will watch. As Jay puts it "well, thanks to me, we're now watching Simon get wanked off."
1. Series 3 - Episode 1 - The Fashion Show - Wardrobe Malfunction - While hurrying to put on a revealing costume to help Carli, and worrying about getting an erection, Simon suffers an embarassing wardrobe malfunction, which he isn't even aware of...
My number one moment was the one I voted for in the poll that E4 ran, although personally, I think the top moment will most likely be "Bus wankers." Some of my favourite moments didn't actually make it into the poll, I think the way they should have done it was have everyone submit their favourite moment without having to choose from a list, and then drawing a shortlist from that, then perhaps doing a vote. Still, there were some pretty good ones in their poll.
