Britainology 109: The Inbetweeners
Added 2025-07-15 07:03:20 +0000 UTCFor July's first Britainology, Milo and Riley discuss the late-2000s British sitcom 'The Inbetweeners' and how it relates to the specifically British kind of teenage ennui. Which is different than the North American kind because of a few choice variables like 'population density' and 'access to alcohol.'
Comments
Just to hit on a combination of 2 points raised by Milo. A lad ended up being taken out of my secondary school in the early 2000s a few terms into year 7 after he was completely dekegged in the carpark in front of half the school at lunchtime. Months of being called "maggot dick [surname]" afterwards probably gave that poor 11 year old actual psychological damage if not enormous insecurity about his manhood.
