The Inbetweeners USA Trailer.

[TheFunPolice]

No, no no.. This CANNOT be happening...I seriously hope this gets dropped before it gets released

..

The thought of something being butchered so awfully just makes me want to break down and cry in a corner..

 

[Launcelot111]

It could have been fine if they didn't seem to copy the UK plotline word for word. Also if it wasn't made by MTV. With the tenuous exception of Awkward, they haven't made a good show in ages.

I feel like all the UK shows get redone because US television companies are risk averse and aren't afraid of wasting money to copy and paste a solid show into an American setting. The majority of Americans would be fine with the UK version, but the TV companies fear the vocal minority or some idiotic outcry about being un-American. It just ends up that this typically destroys the cast chemistry or aesthetic of the original. The Office remake was more successful than all the others because it established its own tone and broke away from its predecessor's scripts quickly.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Oh god why? As if the IT Crowd and Skins remakes weren't bad enough!

 

[FamoFunk]

You forgot IT Crowd USA.

They... they didn't, did they? D:

British Comedy is fab, why ruin it?!

The horror, the horror [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmjpk4_the-it-crowd-us-pilot_fun]

The worst part is, Richard Ayoade is in it. How could he?

My good God. I have lost almost all my respect for him ;__;

And Rocky Carroll should stick at being awesome in NCIS and stuff. He does not suit comedy at all...

 

[Eddie the head]

Some show I never cared about is getting a remake to a show that I will never watch. Cool. Anyway it can't be worse than the Turkish version of Rambo.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

I can understand why they may want to show our programs over there but why oh fucking why do they have to keep remaking them?

List of shit so far...

Shameless USA
Red Dwarf USA
The Office USA
Life on Mars USA
Now Inbetweeners USA.

I'm just waiting for them to take Dr Who and butcher the fuck out of that as well.

Disclaimer - This isn't a rant against Americans i've already told you I love you once i'm not doing it again. This is a rant at American TV companies remaking our shows and making them shit ... or worse if you didn't like the originals.

I just hope they don't get Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, and The Vicar of Dibley.


Oh god the horror!

 

[DarkRyter]

I don't really see the difference.

They're both terrible.

 

[Jackalb]

I just hope they don't get Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, and The Vicar of Dibley.


Oh god the horror!

Sorry that's been in progress for awhile now http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/news/a382198/only-fools-and-horses-us-remake-to-be-redeveloped.html

Apparently there was an American Royle family too but it flopped, it flopped bad.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Apparently America has a problem with my people since they are ALWAYS remaking our shows into crappy knockoffs.

We don't do it with them...at least not that I've seen.

 

[Patrick Buck]

Fucking hell, that looks awful. I mean REALLY bad. It would be better if it was an 100% rip off, but the fact that it's set in a seteriotypical amercan highschool makes it litrally one of the most unattractive shows for me to watch ever.

 

[R Man]

No. Just no.

It's bad. Strangely, I just can't quite put my finger on why.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Good on you, America - taking every little last thing I loved then ripping it to peices. You even do it to some things that you made that I love.

Also, why does American studios see it fit to remake things? That're 99.9% more shit than the original? It's like the Big Daddies in Bioshock 2, where they make the final-models completely shit compared to the original. I think they're doing it on purpose now.

 

[miketehmage]

I don't understand the rage. I've watched the first season of The Inbetweeners and I've seen the movie and they were funny.

The thing is though, this remake looks pretty good too, Yes it's the same lines with new actors, but it's also a new setting, and alot of you have been saying "this is BRITISH comedy you AMERICANS wouldn't understand" Well then maybe that's why there is a remake with a new American setting.

Also, I haven't watched our original version of the office but I do find the US office quite funny.

But hey, at least we still have Fawlty Towers and Monty Python right?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I'm sure this will be just as faithful to the original source material as the US version Fawlty Towers.


Right?

 

[Aarowbeatsdragon]

I can understand why they may want to show our programs over there but why oh fucking why do they have to keep remaking them?

They are also remaking the sherlock holmes tv show, but oh..oh no this ones different...watsons a girl and is being played by lucy liu.....*flips the table*

OT: i think the original shows okay but this just looks horrificly bad. I mean...the US office is okay because it only took the concept of the show..but this..its preety much taking the original show word for word and adding americans.
The main actors are really bad.
And also, as a film student, hell even non film students could notice, there are really odd sound cuts and generally bad edits. So not only is it a bad remake, its just plain bad.

 

[Wolf In A Bear Suit]

Ugh yay American remakes of British shows always go splendidly. Just have a look at Skins. That turned out.......censored. Well who cares the creator's jus another name on my rapidly growing list of enemies. It takes me 3 hours to get to sleep when I recite it Arya Stark style
That trailer was somewhere inbetween Shit and a crime against humanity

 

[Aarowbeatsdragon]

I just hope they don't get Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, and The Vicar of Dibley.


Oh god the horror!

You might have been being sarcastic and apologies if you were. They are remaking both only fools and horses and the vicar of dibley....dont know about the royle family.

Captcha: do it now!...no...DONT do it now!

 

[Lethos]

Nonononononononononononononononononononono.

I love the American Office. It's funny. It expanded on the original. It even surpassed the original (IMO). But this.....this abomination....this creature....why?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Americans, do yourselves a favour, don't watch this. Instead go and watch the original British series and actually laugh. This is an abomination of the Inbetweeners and can go fuck a duck up the arse.

They've actually fucked up some of the funniest Inbetweeners moments.

 

[WanderingFool]

So uhh... yeah...

Hey, Americans I bet you'll all enjoy this eh... ugh :|


What do you think? I think it looks crap.

Spoiler'd reaction

Spoiler

I have no clue what the UK version is like, but I will not be wasting my time with this horse shit...
