The Inbetweeners - Season 2 Episode 6 End of Term

Comments

Fwends Reuinted is a reunion/awards show with comedians and others talking about it and the cast. They give out awards for best moments and stuff. I think it's a good watch, but it's just a kinda nostalgia show. The movies are amazing!

I do think you’re right about that, 100%.

Killermcknight

I actually think Jays dad is a vital character because he explains Jay's behaviour. Without him Jay would just seem like a dickhead, but because you can see what treatment made him so insecure and that's why he exaggerates so much, he's humanised and he's able to be lovable despite his behaviour.

In Scotland we don't have AS Levels or A Levels so I don't really get what they are on about either, but we still have the need to "revise" before the exams! The one thing that Jay's dad says that always makes me laugh is "Girls are like fairground rides....Fucking mental!" 🤣

A new episode reaction soon? 🙂

Cem

I mean I definitely think it’s subjective. He may be funny to you and to plenty of others, to us he’s just not funny and is just an emotionally abusive dad. This being a show doesn’t make it funny to us. There’s real dads like that out there, and I don’t think most people who grew up with a parent like that would find Mr. Cartwright funny. Could be wrong, could be just a cultural difference, but I wouldn’t if I had a dad like him.

Killermcknight

Well I’ve got to say I am so sorry for those of you who had dads like that. I think that’s crossed the line of banter and is just giving your kid self esteem issues and no idea of a healthy relationship

Killermcknight

And it’s sad that in real life that is the case for some who are raised by parents like that

Killermcknight

Pretty awful if he can’t even see the look on Jay’s face each time though to realize he’s being a dick

Killermcknight

Wow that’s actually WILD! Thanks for explaining all that. So if you’re studying in college and say you want to go to become a social worker, do you study literally nothing else but classes relating to the at field? So here you would still have your gen eds like English composition, speech, math, etc.

Killermcknight

Just because someone is horrible and you would hate them in real life doesn't mean in a fiction they can't be entertaining and funny do you really think anyone would like Alan Partridge if he was a real person, Basil from Fawlty towers is a dreadful person but is still beloved.

splattered 😂

Not seen American reactors yet find Jay's dad as hilarious as we do; he's absolutely more of a typical dad of the time than someone like Neil's dad, for instance. He's obviously a bit of a caricature, but we've either all had dads like this, or knew a mate with one

Jason

Jay's dad is the type of dad you never go to visit once you've moved out. Just a horrible bully really.

Jára Zimmerman

Yeah, Jay's character is quite tortured really. I don't think he even knows who he is, because his self esteem has been totally destroyed by his dad. And he's got this idea that to be a man you need to be an obnoxious idiot like his gross father.

Jára Zimmerman

I think Mr Cartwright is just bantering with Jay but its the sort where he doesnt know where the line is and so crosses it often.

Tommy

I've never liked Jay's dad. Some other viewers have said, he's just a typical dad. They must have some weird dads. My dad was nothing like Jay's. My dad was a little bit more like Simon's, if anything. I do have a sister like Carlie, though. Worse, actually.

In the UK, studying is what you do the first time. When you go over it, it's revision. Not that I did much of either, at school. I've learned far more, since I left.

ThetaSigmaTheOriginal

Revision is studying, and exams are a much bigger deal here as there’s no GPA (only your coursework like essays, and exams are counted and all are graded centrally and anonymously), and about half your total grade is based on them - or used to be back around then at least. None are multiple choice either A-levels are done over 2 years. In the first year you do AS levels and then the second year you do A levels. In the first year you only study 4 subjects - I think we had a fifth too that was something like citizenship but you didn’t get graded on that. For the final year you drop to just 3 subjects and that’s all you study all year (same as the first year but with one less). And you apply to university here to study one subject (or two if you do a joint honours), you don’t pick a major half way through, and all you study is that subject in depth. So your A level choices need to be relevant in the subject you want to study at University - and to get in you’ll have to get certain grades in all of your subjects so you’ll see AAA or AAB and they’re all the grades you have to have. And although the same letters are used getting an A isn’t easy, just as in university here getting 80 or higher means your work is publishable in the field you’re studying.

Kieran B

In the UK, you take exams called AS levels at 17 and then A levels at 18. The grades you get in those exams determine which university you can attend and what you can study at that university. If you want to become a doctor, for example, you will need really good grades so will need to do lots of revision on everything you have been taught at school.

J Duff

You're revising what you've been taught, so going over what you've been taught to try and learn it/remember it for an exam.
