The Inbetweeners - S1 E6

I was wondering where you have been, haha. You do as you please darlin'!

Mandy Cane Lane

Haven't been in the mood for Inbetweeners for a few weeks but now I can watch 3 in a row...I'm also 6 episodes behind on Taskmaster lol. IT Crowd I can watch every day though.

Lee Dellbridge

No probs Mandy, hope your doing better today ☀️

It's actually not dark to me. I believe its evolution or progression. The Anglosphere (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) has always been tied culturally and not just Linguistically. They are all tied to the same democratic pillars and judicial structures inherited by the UK. They all had business plan created by the UK that they all still use to this day, and all those nations aside from New Zealand have the massive potential to grow that gameplan bigger than we can ourself (by population numbers) ... hence the fact that we are the parents - we've brought the kids up well, they've now left home and made successful lives, and were not old and tired and its time to move in with them while they look after us... its inevitable. its not a bad thing.

I can't imagine liking yoghurt 😭😭😭. And I never noticed that there were no signs or anything in Sex Education. Curious little trick. I will have to check out the links later us I am unable to watch videos or listen to audios at work. 😋

Mandy Cane Lane

But you should do a cat vid Mandy, the Patreon want it

Joshyboiiiiii

Oh tell haway then

Joshyboiiiiii

England stealing something from another country??? Noooo can't be 🤣🤣

Joshyboiiiiii

Hmmm... the age differences in the comments have been suggesting that it became a thing that caught on from Americans

Mandy Cane Lane

I have listened to Green Day though!

Mandy Cane Lane

Lol! I never agreed to that! And not yet 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

This got dark Paul, 😓 but I get what you mean. Reminds me of a Rammstein song "Amerika"

Mandy Cane Lane

U huh.

Stevus

Hahaha, thank you!! Will get to this one soon! 🙌🏻✨️🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

All of it? 🤪

Nah see I had an actual prom when I left secondary school so it's an English thing too

Josh sloan

We all still want that 10 minute cat video and have you seen the Rhod cancer videos yet?

PROMS - We never had them when i was at school in the early to mid 90's, but by the time my Sister was at School 10 years laster (same time frame as this TV Show) they was a big thing... The UK is an Americanised country. Even the original (british) way i just spelled 'Americanised' is being superceded by the American way of using a 'z' instead of an 's'.., every generation since the advent on TV adopts more americanisms. The 51st state is incoming when the shit eventually hits the fan after many decades of suffering a post Brexit economy, and probably another war that brings us financially to the brink (the last one cost us the Empire) and we end up in grovelling for a trade deal with the US where we eventually sign the country over to them.... The change wont be overnight. Will be a slow process, The trade deal may be in our lifetime, but becoming the 51st state will most probably be a few generations after us. See it as the Parents in their old age (UK) will eventually end up moving in with their Kids (US) for support.

Thanks Josh and Steve

Lee Gridley

Thanks Mandy! I figured Man Down might be on your list somewhere. I'm really looking forward to watching you watching it! Lol

Lee Gridley

Participation trophies are great, you get rewarded for existing! Nothing about that could lead to problems when people have to encounter the real world...

Yeah, I get you. But then again America do like their advertising, so I didn't know how much of that was just the usual over-hyping something that wasn't such a big deal in the real world? As for the extra rant, Skepta is a Londoner who makes (arguable) music and recently released a song about "gasoline", following up the line with something about a "cash machine". We don't call petrol gasoline and Americans don't call ATMs cash machines, so he is obviously very confused.

Known a few women who make stuff up to impress people and try to make themselves more popular.

This is for Mandy, incase you forgot 😅 although we can forgive you after being whacked with a pan 😂😂 https://youtu.be/kVP8IsGHaXE?si=xSCFEDCKEUK9CnDu

AWR93

good stuff👍🤗

Stevus

Welcome aboard, the good ship Mandypop! 🤗

Stevus

Same! 🤣🤣🤣 Cook/dance off? Best points awarded for food that doesn't burn because you got carried away dancing! 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Well, with how overboard people can get with prom kings and queens I think it is just fine to dance and have fun. Sports and actual competitions? Yeah, that is a mess. Motivation can really die down if eveyone gets an award 🙄

Mandy Cane Lane

Everything is fabulous, thank you! Hope everything is just as good with you and yours! 🤗🌈✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

Looking forward to season 2. It's my favourite season from the 3. Hope everything is ok.

Charlie Costa

From what I gather from films, TV and social media, American kids make a HUGE deal out of proms. And now the new thing is the "promposals". They compare it to weddings for some reason and go all out crazy. I did not understand the extra rant 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Interesting! That sounds very different from any American experience. I think maybe since alcohol is illegal before 21 kids get off on drinking at 15-16 because they are not supposed to and they go too far. This is just mere speculation though, I know nothing of the subject 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Welcome Lee!! 🌈🤗✨️ Thank you so much for joining and I am so glad you enjoy! Man Down is most definitely on my long list of shows to watch next! Can't wait to get to that one!! 🙌🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

Yes, actually I have met a female equivalent of Jay. I did not like her at all. She was a friend of my friend for some reason. Lol, and sounds like a helluva party 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

They were just bouncing around on a trampoline..... that was it... you hear me? THAT WAS IT 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao!! Noted Tony! 🤣🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Same!!!! Usually whilst I'm cooking dinner. Shall we?

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Hmmm, I was too young to go to highschool in the states, but my brothers went and there are so many differences! Also props to you for learning how to waltz! 👏🏻 I do dance, but only when nobody can see me 🫣😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Proms in the UK are basically just a school disco for people in the end of their last year of school, there's no prom king and queen because that would be singling people out for being the best dressed and that's a no no because that would be seen as a form of bullying over here, UK schools are ridiculous when it comes to being PC, everyone has to get a participation certificate so no kid feels singled out. There can't be any real competition anymore.

JokerDanny

Additional rant: Someone tell Skepta he's going to have a real fucking hard time finding gasoline here, it's not in any of the petrol stations.

Z is for Zed

I think maybe 8 people from my class of 30 went to the "year 11 ball", it was hard to convince teenagers to go to a party with their teachers at a place where you're not allowed to drink. But then again, the next generation down don't seem to know they're not Americans so maybe everything's changed since then.

Z is for Zed

I went to to school in the nineties and a prom was a weird thing they did in American films. We had school disco when we were about fourteen but nothing after that. As far as alcohol goes it can be pretty relaxed, I went on a school skiing trip to Austria when I was fifteen and a few of us went out drinking with our maths teacher.

Stuart

Welcome Lee 🙏 you have alot of great Mandy content to enjoy 🤗

Josh Read

Hi Mandy! I recently became one of your 'stars' and I'm loving the content! Been watching you for ages over on YouTube. Anyway, not sure if this has already been recommended to you, but given your love of Greg Davies you should react to Man Down. He wrote that and it's absolutely nuts! I think you'd like it. Anyway thanks for all you do and take care

Lee Gridley

Has anyone ever known a female equivalent of Jay? Great reaction as always. I like how outraged you got at Jay's rudeness to that chap. Our prom was great, a TV was set up in room down the hall with the football. All the lads spent most of the night in there then couldn't understand why the ladies were angry at us 🤣

Josh Read

Never underestimate a Brit's ability to eat chips, we are world class athletes at it. I'm glad you are enjoying this, it isn't bad once you get used to the crudeness. Also, I loved the upbeat music 🎶Sunshine🎶 at the end as Jay tried to ...well you watched it, haha. As if it was something everyone does😂. Great reaction Mandy, thank you. 🤗

Hi Mandy! As far as I know, we've had an end-of-term dance/party at "high school", or equivalent, for a long time, but it was usually called a "school disco". The first time I remember it being referred to as a "prom" was actually the year I finished "high school", 1995. I thought then that this new branding was another import of American culture, probably as a result of the popularity of American coming-of-age shows and movies around that time. Just two years later, the idea, and specifically the word "prom" had become so entrenched that when my sister was coming up to hers, and had her friends round chatting excitedly about what they were going to wear and all that, and I casually referred to it as a "disco", they collectively sneered at me like I'd just ridden in on a penny-farthing. So I don't think you're wrong to think of it as an American thing, certainly by name, but yes, we do do them and have for some time. ☺️

First 🥇 today 13:01. I'm just here for story time. But that Alfa Romeo 😍. I want another so bad!!! Had this gorgeous little MiTo Clover leaf, 170bhp in white with black wheels. Carbon fibre trim interior with red backlighting. You put it in D-mode and it WENT! Miss that car. 😭😭 Proms are a thing in the UK but they are nowhere near as done up as American stuff. Ours was a quiet meal in tux and dress at the local parsonage. I got the award for best transport for rocking through the gate in my old man's lorry all done up. Horns blaring, light rigs on. Yeah, my high school cafeteria, or well, the stand was literally you went in, pre-ordered a choice of panini, burger etc. with a dessert. You could get cooked meals but they weren't that good. It was overbooked veg, drowned in gravy with a few scraps of meat to boot. Or you had super dry burgers, chips, beans. Basically it was a Carbs overload and they wonder why obesity in children is an issue. Hope you're having a lovely weekend it's pissing rain here so no flying for me. 😡 Liked this episode. Tell me Mandy, do you dance? I learnt a basic waltz once, I was so proud of myself. 😊
