#166 | The Inbetweeners | Can They Still Say That?

Episode Summary

Ricky and Flav discuss the prospect of another Inbetweeners film and whether Jay, Will, Simon and Neil could still get away with their familiar brand of teenage humour. From Bus Wankers and the Dead Hand Gang to awkward school memories, they consider what made the original series feel so recognisable. Would a new instalment capture that spirit, or would changing attitudes and a streaming audience reshape the jokes? Their own recollections of secondary school add a personal perspective to a conversation about nostalgia, crass comedy and the difficulty of bringing much-loved characters back.

00:14:49.38
Ricky: And may I just say, we've been recording for you know nearly 15 minutes. And that bit of laughter. I feel great again. You'll feel good!

00:14:59.08
Ricky: That's all you need, innit?

00:15:00.50
Flav: it Yeah, it does help.

00:15:01.24
Ricky: The ace. That is. um Is there any housekeeping? No, there's not. Good. um Do you know what we're talking about today?

00:15:11.08
Flav: Uh, Yes, we are talking about… In between us.

00:15:15.64
Ricky: yeah We are. We were going to do. The, um… We're going to do serial killers in America.

00:15:22.58
Flav: That's right, yeah, yeah.

00:15:23.78
Ricky: And then I saw the advert drop. for Inbetweeners 3 film. In production. Netflix. And I was like, oh, my God. I've got to talk about that.

00:15:35.58
Ricky: We need to, I'd like to talk about, because we often… We do speak about in-betweeners on and WhatsApp. And I just thought…

00:15:42.84
Flav: Yeah.

00:15:44.32
Ricky: How is this going to go? so If anyone's listening… and you've not seen in between us

00:15:49.38
Flav: wow

00:15:50.23
Ricky: I mean number one you're in for an absolute fucking treat. But there may be some people that have just heard it and not got around to watching it. So in between us is four socially awkward friends who embark on various daring adventures while trying to navigate through adolescence. However, there's eagerness into adulthood and lands them in hilarious situations.

00:16:12.62
Ricky: Um, And they're all at school. and how it begins is there's a character called will who is no longer at His parents break up. he they They can't afford grammar school or private school, so he goes into a normal comprehensive school.

00:16:28.09
Ricky: And then he meets his friends, Simon J. Anil. It came out in… The first episode was May. 2008. Before we get into the film and stuff like that.

00:16:41.37
Flav: o

00:16:41.60
Ricky: uh what I just want to know what was your, I take it you've seen the trailer.

00:16:46.70
Flav: Nah.

00:16:47.73
Ricky: Have you not seen the trailer?

00:16:49.37
Flav: No.

00:16:50.14
Ricky: Wow, it it it's It's nothing. It's like… 45 seconds and it's not like a fast cut of it's then it's a garage door opening.

00:17:02.50
Flav: Yeah.

00:17:02.59
Ricky: You see trainers along. Going towards a car. Someone kicks a tyre. Then it's a front shot. or four of them sitting in the car and they're sitting in

00:17:10.90
Flav: I've seen the still in the in the car, yeah.

00:17:12.21
Ricky: Yeah, that yellow car. And he tries to start it.

00:17:14.39
Flav: Yeah.

00:17:16.04
Ricky: it doesn't turn over he tries to start and he's going come on come on it turns over And then they drive out. And that's it. Then it says in between the three film. In production now.

00:17:27.60
Ricky: And you're like, right.

00:17:27.49
Flav: Nice.

00:17:28.67
Ricky: It's fucking back.

00:17:30.34
Flav: I am. yeah You didn't ask me a question. What?

00:17:34.18
Ricky: ah what how How do you feel?

00:17:36.17
Flav: Oh.

00:17:36.17
Ricky: initially like just knowing that in between is free the film is in production

00:17:41.74
Flav: Um… Well… I kind of like the films a lot less than I liked. the series.

00:17:49.16
Ricky: Sure.

00:17:50.44
Flav: ah There are two. there are There is two scenes in the film, first of all. Is this the third one?

00:17:57.67
Ricky: Yeah.

00:17:59.22
Flav: There's two two… bits the one when he falls asleep on the ant's nest is fucking hilarious

00:18:05.56
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:07.09
Flav: And then the obviously… He's dance. but doing the

00:18:12.74
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:12.67
Flav: it's it's like like i don't know how how he described the dance he's sort of like trotting foot in diagonal

00:18:17.58
Ricky: Yeah. Yes.

00:18:18.64
Flav: But. butzz And that killed me as well. But the problem, often the problem with… converting TV series to films is you do lose something. Because… What's brilliant about…

00:18:29.73
Flav: What's amazing about The Inbetweeners… is it's raw.

00:18:33.30
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:33.40
Flav: Right, and it looks terrestrial. It looks… British made. As as soon as you add a The veneer of… a movie

00:18:40.68
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:40.82
Flav: It loses something. that That's… that's my issue with it it's like it's not If you watched…

00:18:49.28
Flav: It's like… It's like it feels too polished Like the cameras are too good.

00:18:52.39
Ricky: Yes. Yeah, I know what you mean.

00:18:54.09
Flav: Uh, like It's a brave move. to just used the standard of cameras that they would have used for just terrestrial TV.

00:19:01.80
Ricky: Yeah.

00:19:02.28
Flav: BBC level cameras or whatever it is, Channel 4. But… It's almost like they they won't risk it because they want to attract as much audience as possible rather than making it for the diehard. um in between the fans.

00:19:12.25
Ricky: Yeah.

00:19:13.22
Flav: but But. what's What's wrong with more content? What's wrong with more more of the in-betweeners? It's brilliant. It'd be just interesting to see how close to the knuckle they go because some of the jokes and stuff in…

00:19:26.78
Flav: in between us in the tv series i don't think you'd get away with much now, like the misogyny.

00:19:30.90
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah, well where we I've got a whole ah've got a whole list of ah words that they used that that we're going to go through.

00:19:36.35
Flav: Yeah.

00:19:40.26
Ricky: ah

00:19:40.03
Flav: Yeah.

00:19:41.79
Ricky: How old like did you start? Did you get on it straight away?

00:19:44.83
Flav: Yeah, I think so, yeah. I think I watched it as it. Ed.

00:19:48.51
Ricky: There's two things in my life Where I am, you know, where. You were the first one in.

00:19:55.99
Flav: Yeah.

00:19:57.48
Ricky: Jackass. I remember going to watching it late on MTV.

00:19:59.08
Flav: Right

00:20:02.21
Ricky: Going into my job at the warehouse. And thank people. Have you seen this program called Jackass? And they're like.

00:20:08.66
Flav: Yeah.

00:20:09.30
Ricky: A what? a jackar And then it having to explain it to them. and then they're like I don't know what that is and through the popularity it became earlier on more people watched it and it blew up and I was like I've already been here lads like that's that's my one claim Second one, In Between Us.

00:20:28.44
Ricky: Now when that was being advertised. Obviously. I see Jay. In a parka jacket. I see him with a mod haircut.

00:20:37.13
Flav: Yeah.

00:20:38.28
Ricky: And the the kind of the intro. is stop motion.

00:20:43.87
Flav: Yeah.

00:20:43.51
Ricky: of the of the characters being introduced.

00:20:45.60
Flav: Yeah.

00:20:46.00
Ricky: Now, when I was younger… and the beginning of Only Fools and Horses

00:20:50.07
Flav: Same.

00:20:50.95
Ricky: same stop motion and when I went to do media studies That's… What? got me in to do i want to make stuff like this and he falls into a stop motion.

00:20:58.65
Flav: Oh, you like that?

00:21:00.48
Ricky: Then I saw that in between is stop motion and the kind of graphics and how it moved and that. And I was like, I've. Amen. I mean straight away.

00:21:07.12
Flav: no

00:21:08.01
Ricky: first episode. And it's very rare. and i mean extremely rare for me to be like Oh shit, something's on TV. And I'm going to make my Tuesday free and watch it at nine o 'clock.

00:21:20.34
Ricky: So I was in straight away and i very aware of it. Why are… Why are we still obsessed with…

00:21:31.27
Ricky: In between us. Like 16 years, is it 16? hang through Yeah, 16 years on.

00:21:37.32
Flav: Because it's fucking hilarious. This is…

00:21:42.65
Flav: It's up there with the some… the greatest of British comedy.

00:21:47.98
Ricky: Yeah.

00:21:47.85
Flav: and And I think it's pretty disrespected, actually. I think some people… Look down upon it. I remember at the time it was kind of, it's like laddish and boyish culture.

00:21:53.49
Ricky: Yes.

00:21:58.17
Flav: And. The jokes are ridiculous. and the the They are.

00:22:00.41
Ricky: Yeah.

00:22:02.86
Flav: You know, you're going to go through some of them, but you know. highly misogynistic and you know sexualized and stupid because that's what teenage boys are. They're stupid.

00:22:12.15
Ricky: Yeah.

00:22:13.07
Flav: Um, But it's the in while while the show was completely ridiculous, it's really accurate. it the kind of conversations you have when you're a 14 year old 15 year old boy it's that mental so

00:22:23.26
Ricky: Yeah.

00:22:26.19
Flav: If you are you are that age, you you tap into it. And if you. If you're older, it's like a nostalgic, kind of feels like you were going back to school. So yeah I think.

00:22:38.20
Flav: It just taps into those things and on top of that it's just brilliant writing. It's hilarious.

00:22:43.06
Ricky: Yeah.

00:22:43.38
Flav: It's like… it Like the bit where you… he He breaks up with his girlfriend or she rejects him or something. And it was Simon.

00:22:52.26
Ricky: Yeah.

00:22:52.55
Flav: And he comes up the stairs and he goes. ah Hi, Mom. What's for dinner? Better be delicious. And then he goes up to his ah room and just lies down and starts crying.

00:23:01.15
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah.

00:23:04.15
Flav: That is so weirdly relatable.

00:23:05.82
Ricky: Right.

00:23:05.47
Flav: Not the crying bit, but the… Trying to normalize the situation.

00:23:10.23
Ricky: Yeah.

00:23:10.49
Flav: By asking what's for dinner and you're going to have dinner and that's a conversation you always have. But you being absolutely broken inside is fucking it's so funny. Um, thiss Yeah, and and and that that because it's…

00:23:23.64
Flav: Because it it's… It's lived on.

00:23:27.38
Ricky: e

00:23:27.92
Flav: And people constantly referencing. In between us. And Bus Wankers is now like… in in the english it's in the it's in our it's in vernacular it's like

00:23:35.99
Ricky: Yeah, yeah

00:23:37.02

00:23:40.22
Ricky: Yeah.

00:23:42.77
Flav: So yeah, just it's great's great writing. and It's completely rewatchable. Even when you know things are coming, it's still funny.

00:23:48.46
Ricky: Yeah. The, um… what Like watching it it it. It did really kind of… um Secondary school was exactly like that.

00:23:58.47
Flav: Yeah.

00:23:58.89
Ricky: ah The interactions that people have. the worries that you have. Like the EverQuest. for having sex. or Any kind of. contact with a woman.

00:24:12.77
Ricky: I remember being at school. 13, 14, 15. and people going to the park and people you know and then it being a talking point at school and like If you're…

00:24:23.43
Ricky: kind of you know going in out of a girl and where that leads to Or kind of… Like Simon has there with Carly. there's always that one girl that you really wanted to get with but she's out of your league or she doesn't know or you know the the girl in the year above and her forms opposite your class and you're like oh god

00:24:35.42
Flav: Yeah.

00:24:44.64
Ricky: i just wish i would just wish and it never and it never happened Oh, shit, yeah.

00:25:22.88
Ricky: I was hanging around with the older kids, the bigger boys. I remember that… the the exact day she was at her auntie's she was at the top of her window chatting to all the boys that were below and all these boys were like alpha male stunt in in front trying to get her attention.

00:25:39.98
Ricky: And she was this cool girl. That was a bit lippy. That was a bit leery. That was, you know, it had… fashion sense and I was just like… This small… Feeble.

00:25:51.75
Ricky: Asian boy. amongst all these lads. And I was like, I will never. ever get a girl like that. I remember thinking it and I was just like, there is no way that I, you know, no matter how much stunting I could do, i I'm not. Peace. that she would never be mine.

00:26:07.62
Flav: She was.

00:26:08.52
Ricky: Prove them wrong.

00:26:09.73
Flav: yeah Well, you're self-wrong.

00:26:10.29
Ricky: Pray for them. Yeah. prove Yeah. Yeah. I proved myself.

Flav: Please do.

00:26:13.19
Ricky: Yeah. um

00:26:14.84
Flav: What? um What? What did you… but The one thing always… Jay is the star, right?

00:26:22.19
Ricky: Mmm.

00:26:22.88
Flav: 100%.

00:26:23.52
Ricky: Yeah.

00:26:24.27
Flav: They're all funny, but Jay is jay is the star of the show, without question.

00:26:27.02
Ricky: Yeah.

00:26:28.59
Flav: Um, I always… Because he's so interesting to look at. a Weird looking bloke. Still to this day, Jeff Buckley.

00:26:34.22
Ricky: ah Yeah.

00:26:35.36
Flav: Is it Jeff Buckley?

00:26:36.62
Ricky: james

00:26:37.40
Flav: James Buckley.

00:26:38.14
Ricky: Yeah.

00:26:38.70
Flav: um He's still an odd to no bloke to look at.

00:26:41.08
Ricky: Yeah.

00:26:41.72
Flav: Yeah. and But his hair, because he was um he wanted to be a mod.

00:26:45.94
Ricky: Yeah.

00:26:46.92
Flav: I thought his hair was a joke as a part of the character.

00:26:50.23
Ricky: What?

00:26:50.03
Flav: And… I remember him being on Soccer i AM and they asked him about his hair and he's like, that's his… This is just my hair. And even like today, he has very odd haircuts.

00:27:01.43
Ricky: I've never…

00:27:01.22
Flav: It wasn't a joke.

00:27:02.44
Ricky: Yeah, I never thought about that, actually. i' like Because, yeah, it's not for the in-betweeners because he does look like that in real life.

00:27:07.61
Flav: No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:09.13
Ricky: Yeah.

00:27:09.87
Flav: That was just his hair. But everyone, it's such a mental haircut that everyone just thought they made him do that. Um…

00:27:16.57
Ricky: I love it. Great, great haircut. I wish my hair was as thick as that.

00:27:20.99
Flav: i think i think you want I think you want to…

00:27:21.50
Ricky: Turn it off.

00:27:25.52
Flav: If you've got those… That busy busy of a face. You want to minimize, I think, perhaps the extra. extra sort of do you know I did a podcast with Andy Goldstein. He's like a British.

00:27:39.78
Flav: but radio presenter.

00:27:41.74
Ricky: Yeah.

00:27:43.38
Flav: His hair is… Insight. It doesn't look…

00:27:45.51
Ricky: I mean…

00:27:46.62
Flav: It doesn't look real.

00:27:46.58
Ricky: He's quite James Buck, really.

00:27:48.90
Flav: Yeah, it's more like a mod haircut

00:27:50.50
Ricky: I'm bearded and like…

00:27:50.63
Flav: He's like… Yeah, but when you're sitting in front of him… it's Mental. It's like… That- it's not- doesn't it reel? It's so much hair.

00:28:01.81
Flav: this He's got so thick hair. I'm sitting there like, it looks like he's he looks like a wig, but it isn't. Mental. Anyway, um yes, I'll…

00:28:09.80
Ricky: I have a…

00:28:10.89
Flav: I always, um it was always funny that I just thought. It was a part of this the show, but it wasn't. It was just his hair. And I remember him getting really insulted on Soccer AM because they asked him about it.

00:28:19.55
Ricky: ah Yeah, I would be too. And, like, speaking about the characters in J. ah Which one would you say your… most like.

00:28:31.91
Flav: Probably.

00:28:36.70
Flav: Um… What were the names?

00:28:41.43
Ricky: You got J.

00:28:42.32
Flav: Jay Simon.

00:28:43.64
Ricky: Simon will. New.

00:28:45.00
Flav: Will. Nail. Uh… Probably will.

00:28:51.35
Ricky: Really?

00:28:52.28
Flav: but None of them, really, but… As close. um I mean, nothing like the other three, for fuck's sake.

00:28:58.00
Ricky: Um…

00:29:00.47
Flav: You're like Jay.

00:29:00.50
Ricky: No. i Yeah, I'd probably say I'm a bit more like Jay.

00:29:05.81
Flav: It's so funny because he's like… repulsive liar as well.

00:29:08.24
Ricky: Yeah.

00:29:09.01
Flav: Hello. He cannot stop lying. And he's got a dad that's really horrible. Horrible to him.

00:29:14.49
Ricky: Yeah.

00:29:14.79
Flav: Doesn't love him. Just just takes the piss out of him all the time. So he's it's actually quite sad because he's created this character where he feels like he has to fill his life with interesting things that didn't happen.

00:29:26.83
Flav: because he's unhappy. Right.

00:29:28.17
Ricky: Yeah.

00:29:29.02
Flav: He's aren't fundamentally an unhappy boy. because of his background. You'd never see his mum. You only see his dad. And. His daddy's fucking horrible to him. So this sort of Joker kind of make-believe world, which kind of towards the end of the…

00:29:44.64
Flav: Okay, um… the the show you start to see that slip in the vulnerable part of him. comes through.

00:29:50.12
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

00:29:51.10
Flav: And you can start to understand why he is the way he is. Um, So that's what I'm saying about the writing is is that it's it's… funny it's hilarious it's relatable but it's also It's like…

00:30:03.61
Flav: You've tapped into vulnerability. In this mental. So. crazy little local world to eat cream.

00:30:10.94
Ricky: Yeah, and it's… ah it I mean, it is… um Like you were saying, it is… um It is talk down. Because. of how crass it is and the jokes and it's set in a school whatever but when you see those parts of jay where he is vulnerable.

00:30:27.86
Ricky: And. He talks about all these different stories about being with women and stuff like that. And the mental sex stories that that he tells.

00:30:36.36
Flav: Yeah.

00:30:36.49
Ricky: And he's not really been with any. And it's just like…

00:30:38.45
Flav: No. He's probably a virgin, right?

00:30:40.66
Ricky: Yeah.

00:30:41.94
Flav: Almost certainly.

00:30:43.45
Ricky: but

00:30:43.43
Flav: Does he get laid in the show at all?

00:30:45.60
Ricky: I think he does, because do you remember in the second film they go to Australia? And he tries to find that girl. It's all set in Australia and he's trying to find a girl that he broke up with.

00:30:57.98
Flav: Yes.

00:30:59.41
Ricky: So he must have, they must have had a thing.

00:31:02.37
Flav: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He'd just make stuff up though, wouldn't he? like that fingering.

00:31:05.89
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, true.

00:31:08.01
Flav: um And I love it when he gets caught. wanking and he sits on his arms so so they go numb so it feels like someone else is wanking him off

00:31:15.74
Ricky: Hey. The Dead Hand Gang.

00:31:18.62
Flav: Yeah.

00:31:18.77
Ricky: ah

00:31:21.61
Flav: The Dead Hand Gang.

00:31:23.30
Ricky: Fucking up the thingies as well. like we we've just been talking right and we're like saying about The show. it's adolescence teenagers.

00:31:35.15
Ricky: Growing up. ah This is what teenagers were like. And there's ah misogynist language. There is. um Just all kinds of.

00:31:47.13
Ricky: really close to the bone jokes. Where 43?

00:31:52.59
Flav: Mm.

00:31:53.38
Ricky: And we are still very much like that

00:31:56.40
Flav: Yes. Yeah, I think

00:31:57.87
Ricky: And I think… In many lads' WhatsApp groups, in many groups, even like…

00:31:58.95
Flav: Yeah.

00:32:03.81
Ricky: whoever you talk to I am. Very much still the teenage boy. And my humour hasn't changed at all. So I think that's why it has it still holds so much relevance.

00:32:17.81
Ricky: and and resonates with people. because of… At the end of the day… When I was at school, I felt like I was…

00:32:28.50
Ricky: at the top. Where? In reality, I wasn't. And maybe in when I go to ah a club or a booze or whatever, and I think I'm one of the geezers. I'm not.

00:32:40.05
Ricky: And when you look back. And you see them dancing in the club. I've been with my mates and I've done like we've done the the same dance moves and routines and stuff like thinking it's banter. It's well funny. We had a great night.

00:32:55.16
Ricky: Looking back we were like knobs. Bye.

00:32:58.74
Flav: Yeah.

00:32:59.28
Ricky: It's mad.

00:33:00.32
Flav: Yeah, i mean but that's part of it. And and you know, just the the interesting thing… You said there is like some people. don't like the fighting cock because of the stuff that comes out.

00:33:09.71
Ricky: Mmm.

00:33:10.35
Flav: But you can't. That's how us who we are. It's only me and you. Peace.

00:33:14.29
Ricky: yea Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:33:15.30
Flav: That's… what we've been laughing at for years. And if you still find it funny, I'm not going to not say stuff because… people don't like that kind of childish humor but a lot of it was you know, it came from From things like… in between us and being influenced by that kind of stuff.

00:33:33.47
Flav: and the message board that we used to be on.

00:33:33.77
Ricky: Yeah.

00:33:35.58
Flav: but The humor was like that. ah and it was very close to the note bone. And. we Nothing was really off limits on that message board.

00:33:43.29
Ricky: Yeah.

00:33:44.23
Flav: Which was… Excellent, in my opinion, because… You should. Be able to make. jokes about serious things.

00:33:53.89
Ricky: Yeah.

00:33:54.58
Flav: And… and And… I appreciate people would be. can be offended. And that's fine. But…

00:34:05.82
Flav: They should have a right. to say and… and write about things that You think? You want to.

00:34:13.95
Ricky: Mmm.

00:34:14.43
Flav: And there can be kickback about that. And we've had kickback on, on the fighting cock. And the in-betweeners have received kickback. But you want this stuff to exist.

00:34:24.62
Ricky: Yeah.

00:34:25.43
Flav: You want it to exist. It has to. It's like… It's important stuff. And just because… You know, you're not. some people might find it offensive because the world has changed, right?

00:34:38.68
Flav: People's humor hasn't changed.

00:34:40.01
Ricky: Yeah.

00:34:40.58
Flav: It's just… The world's… it so I mean, thankfully, getting back to… normal but this kind of woke. culture and and sort of left-wing sort of What would you call it? like a yeah identity politics, all this stuff.

00:34:59.38
Ricky: ah

00:34:59.49
Flav: ah ah you got to a point where you'd be cancelled online, right? Or there'd be a campaign against you if you start saying things you don't like.

00:35:06.20
Ricky: Yeah.

00:35:06.39
Flav: and joking about things that people don't like.

00:35:10.04
Ricky: Yeah.

00:35:10.72
Flav: And for a long time it was like, I can't say what I want to say right now because… the reaction to that was going to be significant.

00:35:17.52
Ricky: Yeah.

00:35:18.38
Flav: Um, And that's why. In between is… probably wouldn't get made. Now. It wouldn't have passed.

00:35:23.76
Ricky: That.

00:35:24.88
Flav: it wouldn't It wouldn't have passed. the Channel 4 would probably never have commissioned it.

00:35:31.02
Ricky: that i was literally that's going to be my next question do you think it would be commissioned today

00:35:31.08
Flav: Probably.

00:35:35.51
Flav: No. but I really don't. No. Not not after it. People, it'll be there'd be like an uproar about it. Eminem wouldn't have been able to.

00:35:46.95
Flav: exist in the in in in the early… form it just

00:35:50.07
Ricky: Let's go. Imagine, right, an artist like Eminem. is not allowed to come through and we don't get to see or hear that

00:35:57.96
Flav: Peace. He's… He would have… It it would probably would never have got signed. He might have made it in on on as an independent. Obviously, he would have, but…

00:36:05.65
Ricky: Yeah.

00:36:06.44
Flav: in its form like when you listen to Simshady LP.

00:36:11.20
Ricky: Yeah.

00:36:11.38
Flav: his first His first studio album. It… Some of it is mental. what he says. DMX. Listen to DMX album.

00:36:20.88
Ricky: Yeah.

00:36:20.91
Flav: Like it is crazy the stuff that's in there.

00:36:25.35
Flav: Biggie was rapping about… Fucking… underage girls.

00:36:32.19
Flav: Bye.

00:36:32.22
Ricky: Yeah, I mean, like there there's that…

00:36:35.15
Flav: I'm not saying you should do that. I'm just saying.

00:36:36.80
Ricky: Yeah.

00:36:38.28
Flav: it's like It. We've gone too far down. a certain path. where art can't be created. because for fear of offending.

00:36:49.19
Flav: And that's a bad place to be.

00:36:51.08
Ricky: Would you, right? Would you rather… for the Inbetweeners 3 film, would you rather they have a stab? At. still being uh provocative Crass.

00:37:04.91
Ricky: And. saying those similar types of jokes. and get it wrong Or… Or are it not not not land as well? Or would would you would you want to see a bit more?

00:37:14.40
Flav: I don't…

00:37:17.70
Ricky: Okay. We're 40 year old men now. Let's rein in some of it. Or or is it just like, mate, this is the last throw of the dice. Fucking go for it.

00:37:26.74
Flav: I don't think it can be the same

00:37:29.55
Ricky: Right, okay.

00:37:29.66
Flav: No. not for it for it to land it's it it It makes no sense. for it to be exactly the same. But the tra the track character traits have to be there.

00:37:37.99
Ricky: Yeah.

00:37:38.36
Flav: but if If it's the same people that that were involved in… making the tv show then they'll get it right i think but Whether or not. it will be as funny. The people's expectations may be slightly different.

00:37:50.94
Flav: But… um No, it's fine and if it's not just like a… you know an an hour and a half long version of the tv show they've done two already and they weren't really

00:37:59.30
Ricky: Hmm.

00:37:59.59
Flav: like i said it was slightly different You have to drag drag a story over an hour and a half in one session, don't you?

00:38:04.07
Ricky: Yeah, yeah.

00:38:05.71
Flav: Um, But, yeah, no, it's…

00:38:10.85
Flav: I don't think it would get made

00:38:12.85
Ricky: it's the um it is the same writers it's the same directors and same however so it should

00:38:13.68
Flav: Yep.

00:38:18.05
Flav: Yeah.

00:38:19.91
Ricky: be. Um… It should be like pretty similar. and and like speaking of like us being 40 They will be. similar age to us.

00:38:31.43
Ricky: the first film like So obviously it was set in secondary school. First film, I think they went on a lad's holiday to Crete.

00:38:37.90
Flav: Yeah.

00:38:38.10
Ricky: um And then the second one, they went to Australia because Jay went to find. a girlfriend that he split up with I believe that was the the… the um narrative of the film so the third one like what they've given out nothing but they've like not saying it's a stag do it's a divorce it's a Whatever.

00:38:58.40
Ricky: Now, how do these lads… Come together. i mean Will there be anything? whereby you sat you're sat there and thinking…

00:39:12.08
Ricky: It's kind of obvious. Stag do. And it's like that makes it less fun.

00:39:16.68
Flav: what what What do four-year-old people do?

00:39:17.00
Ricky: Or…

00:39:18.43
Flav: Because that's what's great about the show is that you're… They do what kids did.

00:39:23.86
Ricky: Mmm.

00:39:24.19
Flav: They talk like… kids they they they have the conversations they're having with girls as a teenager it was authentic and real Uh… First lad's holiday is something we've all done.

00:39:35.76
Ricky: Yeah.

00:39:36.25
Flav: So it has to be, they have to link it to. something that's relevant to their age. Now. So if they're in their 40s… you know it might be an all-inclusive do i have kids in the film Maybe.

00:39:46.58
Ricky: Well, yeah, I mean, the the thing is, I don't… um Or would it be like even… like go you know obviously like stag do's and stuff like that i think it's now probably pass that, whatever.

00:39:59.77
Ricky: But if it was something so straight. As in… They've got kids And. simon is desperately unhappy and he's got a divorce he's got kids he lives on his own and then they get together through that because they've heard from Simon's mum that he's He needs picking up or whatever.

00:40:20.13
Ricky: And then they go on a lad's kind of, ah I don't know, jaunt somewhere in England or whatever.

00:40:24.67
Flav: Yeah.

00:40:24.86
Ricky: That's kind of like what we would, that's what we do.

00:40:26.60
Flav: Caravan only.

00:40:27.65
Ricky: yay Yeah, yeah.

00:40:29.41
Flav: Something like that.

00:40:30.44
Ricky: Yeah, exactly. Um,

00:40:33.90
Flav: What's your favourite bit, Cedric?

00:40:33.79
Ricky: What was going to happen? Sire. I'm glad you say that Bye. favorite bit. There are so many bits that I just think.

00:40:46.82
Ricky: are really funny. So I'm going to say two. I'll give you two. And. One of them… is when they're on the boat they go on a school trip They're in that. ah little shitty boat they've got uh propeller and they're going along i think they're all they're still in the um the peer, the key.

00:41:07.13
Flav: There. that Yeah, yeah.

00:41:08.92
Ricky: And… A bit of fishing line gets caught in the in the propeller. And they've stopped still and they can't move anywhere. And they try and untangle the fishing line from the propeller.

00:41:21.53
Flav: Yeah.

00:41:21.76
Ricky: And as they're pulling up, they they bring in, it I think, is is it a salmon or a massive fish? And it drops into the boat.

00:41:26.91
Flav: It's… It's ridiculous. Because they're in they're they're in they're in the key. Or harbour.

00:41:35.27
Ricky: Yeah.

00:41:36.03
Flav: They're in a rowing boat. And…

00:41:41.64
Flav: The last thing I think you would find in even that it doesn't make sense that the trout

00:41:45.14
Ricky: No. No.

00:41:46.67
Flav: ah Trouts are in rivers and stuff like that aren't they?

00:41:47.91
Ricky: hey Yeah. yeah

00:41:49.28
Flav: No.

00:41:51.38
Ricky: And i think I think it is… i think I don't even know if it's a salmon. I don't know what the fuck it is. I can't remember.

00:41:55.71
Flav: Is that salmon?

00:41:56.18
Ricky: I can't remember. But yeah I don't think you'd find one there anyway.

00:41:59.77
Flav: No, that's so so good.

00:42:00.50
Ricky: But… ah

00:42:01.32
Flav: That is the funniest scene in all of it.

00:42:02.93
Ricky: Peace. So you've got that bit and then brings the fish on they're all panicking to because there's a giant fish on the boat ah

00:42:10.68
Flav: And it's a… It was dead. It's like they've they've got the fish from a fishmonger. like 100 that's where that's where the prop team got it from

00:42:15.73
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah.

00:42:19.31
Flav: Because it's a real fish.

00:42:20.41
Ricky: Yeah.

00:42:20.23
Flav: It's not like… Yeah go.

00:42:23.10
Ricky: And then. I don't know if it's before, but Simon. has fallen into the water I don't know if it's during this melee.

00:42:28.13
Flav: He's got' got no clothes on.

00:42:29.97
Ricky: he's got He's just stripped down to his pants and they've put a coat on him. They've got this fish flapping around. and they they're just panicking because there's a lot of stuff going on a short amount of time and then jay gets a flare gun out. which you're supposed to use when you're lost at sea and he just fires it off And. So it's the kind of culmination of all of that chaos.

00:42:51.04
Ricky: in one scene. And then… They're still panicking about the fish. And they don't know what to do with it. And Neil says his suggestion is… It's been out of the water for too long.

00:43:01.50
Ricky: It's better to put it out as misery.

00:43:03.03
Flav: Yeah.

00:43:03.73
Ricky: and they're thinking yeah you're probably right mate

00:43:06.30
Flav: He starts.

00:43:06.42
Ricky: But they don't know. I don't know.

00:43:08.25
Flav: Is it dead?

00:43:10.56
Ricky: Yeah.

00:43:09.84
Flav: Terrible. Decision.

00:43:11.57
Ricky: Yeah.

00:43:11.24
Flav: Just put it put it put the fish back back in the water.

00:43:14.22
Ricky: Exactly. so And then ah Neil decides to… punch the fish to death. And there's blood all over his hands. It's such a fucking horrible but funny scene.

00:43:24.61
Flav: When he starts punching the fish is is so fucking funny.

00:43:25.81
Ricky: Yeah.

00:43:29.12
Flav: and And one of them lets a flare off, don't they?

00:43:31.28
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Jay, he panics and he sit he sets the flare off.

00:43:35.21
Flav: Then they're not they're about fight. They're about 50 feet from shore. It's mental

00:43:39.82
Ricky: And all the kids ah in their school, they're all on the wall watching this all unfold as well. It's so, so funny.

00:43:45.57
Flav: that's so funny

00:43:47.84
Ricky: And then the second one. I don't know how many people will find this funny, but every time I say it, it fucking cracks me up. Now, this is when Simon has a girlfriend. I think his girlfriend's called Kara.

00:44:00.35
Ricky: I think they're actually married in real life you know.

00:44:00.58
Flav: Please. Ready?

00:44:03.23
Ricky: Yeah, and they go up to Kara's sister's um dorms. in Because she's at university. And Kara has said to her sister, I've got a boyfriend.

00:44:15.09
Ricky: We want to have sex for the first time. And they're all at the front door.

00:44:17.66
Flav: oh

00:44:19.74
Ricky: And Simon saying, nice to meet you. and the older sister saying right you can have my room and i'll go to this room and she says i'm not i'm not happy with you you know having sex at this age but I want you to be.

00:44:32.99
Ricky: I want you to be comfortable when it happens. And Simon goes, oh absolutely, only in the vagina.

00:44:35.54
Flav: Yeah.

00:44:41.30
Ricky: and And then she goes, I meant. in my bed. And Simon goes, oh yeah, so did I, so did I. And Jaylene's over and goes, Why'd you say vagina then? And that's how it goes.

00:44:51.97
Ricky: Hmm.

00:44:52.98
Flav: ah

00:44:56.57
Flav: ah

00:44:57.61

00:45:14.73
Ricky: Bum da. So I pump that I think it's a note lot um An amalgamation of… ah Bumming bender! Bum-da! So I don't think it's a real kind of…

00:45:27.70
Ricky: were to be. Proper offended about

00:45:31.14
Flav: Eh? Well, I mean people would be

00:45:34.70
Ricky: I think…

Flav: I'd imagine.

00:45:35.62
Ricky: Yeah.

00:45:36.91
Flav: is It's is is kind of like a… um Homophobic.

00:45:41.94

Flav: Word, I guess, isn't it?

00:45:42.86
Ricky: Yeah.

00:45:44.01

Ricky: Right, okay, line through that.

00:45:50.92
Flav: Yeah.

00:45:51.11

00:45:54.67
Flav: Right.

00:45:58.18
Ricky: And it says it rhymes with stunt. He's calling Jay someone. I think Simon's calling Jay and he says it rhymes with stunt.

00:46:05.70
Flav: Yeah, that would be fun

00:46:06.97

00:49:07.17

Flav: Yeah.

00:49:11.39

00:49:23.11
Flav: Yeah.

00:49:24.99
Ricky: It's calling someone gay because of… the sexual orientation. I'm not on board with that. Buh. If a train is late… and you go oh that's gay

00:50:06.39
Ricky: That's… Right.

00:50:08.55
Flav: All right. I still think you're on dodgy ground, but I think. ah yes The problem is… Right. is There's a couple of things here. People are saying this shit.

00:50:19.35
Flav: They're just not saying it out loud in front of everybody.

00:50:22.48
Ricky: Yeah.

00:50:22.41
Flav: Which is fine, it's you know. they's say They're thinking it because but human beings haven't changed.

00:50:27.11
Ricky: Mmm.

00:50:26.76
Flav: And when you're with your mates, you say stuff. but You just don't do it so that other people can hear because you'll get in trouble.

00:50:35.54
Ricky: Hmm.

00:50:35.59
Flav: The other thing is a lot of people are offended on other people's behalf.

00:50:39.04
Ricky: Yeah.

00:50:39.59
Flav: There's a clip of a man And he is… white guy. and he's wearing a sombrero. You've probably seen it. I know.

00:50:47.20
Ricky: Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

00:50:57.45
Ricky: um

00:50:57.99
Flav: Poncho.

00:50:58.75
Ricky: Poncho, yeah.

00:50:59.79

00:51:05.82

00:51:13.73
Ricky: Yeah.

00:51:13.16

00:51:36.40
Ricky: Yeah.

00:51:36.79
Flav: But… The cultural appropriation shit is bullshit in my opinion.

00:51:41.61
Ricky: Yeah, so is this a roundabout way of you saying that I can say gay again or not?

00:51:48.20
Flav: I think you can say gay.

00:51:49.63
Ricky: Right.

00:51:50.16
Flav: but you have to be prepared that people

00:51:51.60
Ricky: I have to be accountable for my

00:51:53.37
Flav: Yeah. People will…

00:51:54.41
Ricky: the repercussions of

00:51:55.41
Flav: Yeah, yeah. So it's if you want to do that. If you want to potentially offend someone, if you want to do that, if you know that you're going to say something and it could hurt someone's feelings. and you're comfortable with that, then yeah.

00:52:07.57
Flav: There might be…

00:52:07.48
Ricky: i'm not I'm not comfortable with that.

00:52:08.13
Flav: real

00:52:09.63
Ricky: I don't want to hurt anyone's sweet feelings

00:52:31.38
Flav: I don't believe you.

00:52:37.07
Ricky: song And one of my favorite. Um, Like Biggie songs. I think is it Biggie? No, it's Dre. Um…

Flav: There's a lot of it.

00:52:48.76
Ricky: There's a lot of it. And it's…

00:52:50.35

00:52:53.40
Ricky: Mmm. Yeah. i Yeah, I know, but you know when you know you're not supposed to say something?

00:53:00.42
Flav: Yeah.

00:53:00.82
Ricky: It's a forbidden word, forbidden fruit

00:53:03.82
Flav: Uh… Yeah. i don't see I don't see that. I don't see it.

00:53:08.49
Ricky: Right.

00:53:08.99
Flav: We talked about this before.

00:53:10.28
Ricky: We've got two more words. Very similar. uh spastic and spaz And it's when Will throws that Frisbee. ah And he says, we also hit a spastic with a Frisbee.

00:53:27.11
Flav: 100 % not, of course.

00:53:28.86
Ricky: ah Right, okay, that's got to go.

00:53:30.11
Flav: But… But that… That is… That is a hilarious scene.

00:53:34.19
Ricky: Yeah. And the the final one. is the word mong. Where it will… It is nicknamed Briefcase Mongs.

00:53:48.01
Flav: ah No, and I don't think you you can say that now, no.

00:53:51.88
Ricky: Wow so ah the vast majority of the words that i have listed there and that we've used I think we have decided, like did we say we can use pedo and pedophile?

00:54:02.80
Flav: Yeah, in that instance, I don't think you could… yeah don't I'm not sure they would make a scene, though, that where the teacher's about to molest the…

00:54:07.92
Ricky: of a Pedo. Predator, yeah, yeah

00:54:10.53
Flav: Child. but But yeah.

00:54:12.78
Ricky: And make light of it, yeah.

00:54:12.55
Flav: Don't think that. Yeah.

00:54:15.80
Ricky: Okay, right. i that that's That's interesting.

00:54:17.34
Flav: but everything is funny everything is funny this is my point Is it?

00:54:19.76
Ricky: Yeah.

00:54:22.08
Flav: Just because it's edgy. or or close to the bone doesn't mean you shouldn't make a joke about it or it's a serious subject I don't think

00:54:31.92
Ricky: No, I mean, the thing one of the biggest… and I hate to do this. You know, when you're like… Oh, one of the biggest comedians has it, so I can say it. What's his name?

00:54:42.82
Ricky: Oh, fucking hell. How? how do I not know his name? One of Theo Von's mates, the guy.

00:54:49.35
Flav: So, I guess…

00:54:50.38
Ricky: Yes.

00:54:51.65
Flav: Yeah.

00:54:51.79
Ricky: A lot of his shows, he's talking about… Oh dude, that's gay. You're gay for saying that.

00:54:56.54
Flav: Yeah.

00:54:57.40
Ricky: This is gay.

00:54:57.83
Flav: Yeah.

00:54:58.03
Ricky: That's gay.

00:54:58.82
Flav: Yeah, yeah, yeah but I think comedians…

00:55:01.31
Ricky: I think…

00:55:02.05
Flav: are held to a different standard than normal people. because that's their job. And… and and Some comedians… You know, the he…

00:55:13.31
Flav: They did a roast of Kevin Hart. Have a day.

00:55:15.75
Ricky: Mmm.

00:55:15.93
Flav: Which I don't actually, I think it's a crap concert. I don't really like like it very much.

00:55:19.86
Ricky: All right. Why would anyone want to do it? Like, what why would anyone want to sit there?

00:55:24.19
Flav: I thought…

00:55:26.49
Ricky: And have. People. Annihilate them.

00:55:30.52
Flav: Yeah. ah

00:55:31.10
Ricky: I don't find it funny.

00:55:32.66
Flav: It isn't that funny. And I watched it in thinking that this the the pi the list of people on this on this, the comedians, is like, this is going to be great.

00:55:39.98
Ricky: Yeah.

00:55:40.14
Flav: This is going to be funny. I love changing this, right? It's hilarious.

00:55:42.24
Ricky: Yeah.

00:55:43.90
Flav: ah And you're watching it and you're like… This isn't funny.

00:55:47.60
Ricky: Mmm.

00:55:47.89
Flav: And he's an… There were some bits. But there were some of the… um comedians were going out their way to be racist. And… It was like. What are you doing here? Because…

00:55:59.24
Ricky: Yeah.

00:55:59.41
Flav: it's you're Doing this because it's taboo, not because it's funny. And that's… Crap.

00:56:05.01
Ricky: Right.

00:56:06.36
Flav: Bye. I'm not saying you shouldn't make… you know, jokes that are you know, If they are racist in their concept.

00:56:15.71
Ricky: make them funny if you're going to be racist be funny

00:56:16.04
Flav: But. But it's got to be funny. Has to be, because if… you if But like, as subject… Objectively funny, though. not This was just…

00:56:25.05
Ricky: Yeah.

00:56:26.17
Flav: This was just like, I would… I can understand why people… ah were offended by that.

00:56:31.85
Ricky: Yeah.

00:56:32.72
Flav: some of the stuff on there it's just like just this isn't this is shit this is crap and you're just being you're just being racist for the sake of it just because you can type of thing

00:56:41.19
Ricky: Yeah, I mean, like, you know when people do mum jokes? Or something like that. And you get someone. and it's like oh yeah that's that's quite funny and but they're they're retort is another mum joke but it's like shoehorned in where it doesn't really make sense it it's not funny you're just doing it because it's you're trying to get back at someone do you know that it feels like that like if you're gonna do it do it and but do it well

00:57:00.06
Flav: Yeah.

00:57:04.28
Flav: Yeah.

00:57:05.71
Ricky: That's my feeling on it

00:57:06.13
Flav: There was so much stuff made in the 2000s that wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't survive. comedy that wouldn't survive like black tropic thunder have you seen it

00:57:14.68
Ricky: No, I haven't actually.

00:57:16.66
Flav: Robbie Downer Jr. is black. Blackface.

00:57:18.94
Ricky: Yeah. Amen. i think I think I've seen discussions about that before.

00:57:25.68
Flav: Yeah, it it kind of, it gets, I can't remember the reason why, but there was, there was I only say that colour because it's important.

00:57:25.83
Ricky: And.

00:57:32.45
Flav: personal, but… There were two black guys discussing it. and they one of them were film critics, and they said that it was fine because of X, Y, and Z.

00:57:39.13
Ricky: Hmm.

00:57:42.87
Flav: I'd like to find out what. But other people would look at it and go, no blackface is fine. But the the history of blackface is that.

00:57:48.29
Ricky: Right.

00:57:51.40
Flav: This shouldn't be touched. We don't need to do it. Right. Um… Because back then, I think the original one was it was that the black people weren't allowed to… to play in the theatre.

00:58:02.72
Flav: or or or they just weren't allowed to do it so in order to play back characters they paint white people. Black. Um,

00:58:10.53
Ricky: Oh, wow. Okay.

00:58:11.88
Flav: That's how it started. Uh… And then it's obviously just a tool to… See you. to take the piss. So some change is good. like i don't think I don't think we should ever see that again.

00:58:20.62
Ricky: Mmm. No.

00:58:22.89
Flav: For sure.

00:58:22.91
Ricky: nay

00:58:23.99
Flav: um But yeah, this there's there's a school of thought. Let me find out what what what they said about that.

00:58:30.12
Ricky: Okay. Um, just a route just Just round this off. So in between this free film, it's going to come out. We've spoken about all the ah the words that were used in the series.

00:58:41.60
Ricky: and throughout the films as well. What? What you kind of… um Hoping. Out of this. Out of the film. Like I know it's not like, ah oh, I want to see.

00:58:53.85
Ricky: Uh, fantastic cinematography and stuff like that It would be a kind of, and for me, not even though I've just been fucking wetting myself at the what we've just been.

00:59:05.10
Ricky: quoting from Inbetweeners. But I think if it's like this route one.

00:59:10.57
Flav: Yeah.

00:59:10.59
Ricky: Let's take off. Clunge, let's tick off. Buswanker, let's tick off. ah the other words that that have been used and those sorts of

00:59:17.41
Flav: Yeah.

00:59:19.91
Ricky: uh scenarios i think it'd be quite Clever. And… Like, if Jay was to say… Okay. or something like that. And Will was like, well, in this kind of… political climate, you can't you you can't say stuff like that anymore.

00:59:38.42
Ricky: And Jay's like, oh, right. it Like those little nods to how present.

00:59:43.61
Flav: Yeah.

00:59:43.78
Ricky: what they said. but still have. funny words in it and still kind of be a bit. bantering around. I think that could. that that would

00:59:52.25
Flav: Oh.

00:59:53.31
Ricky: Work.

00:59:53.40
Flav: I don't even know if I watch it.

00:59:56.14
Ricky: Ready?

00:59:59.52
Flav: Probably. I might do.

01:00:00.99
Ricky: You smile then. I don't even know if I watch it.

01:00:04.15
Flav: I'm not, like, excited. Like, you're excited.

01:00:15.69

01:06:04.07
Ricky: Shit and run. I've never told anybody this not even the people with me at the time. I was on a routine night out with a couple of lads from the gym minding our own business and two stepping away on the dance floor.

01:06:18.11
Ricky: We were having a great time, bobbing our heads to the music and having a good debrief over what was a fun and wholesome evening before heading off home for the night. As I returned from the bar with a fresh round of beers I noticed that my pal was having a bit of a row with a proper bruiser type.

01:06:35.39
Ricky: Being the good friend that I am. I stepped in to calm things down so we could go on our way and enjoy our night. The night was over at this point, so I planned to calm calm it down. pop to the chicken shop jump in a taxi to end What was a lovely evening?

01:06:51.08
Ricky: Fully believing that this situation was now calm, I shook hands with the fella and offered to buy him a drink. Say goodnight. Turn away. And whack!

01:07:02.31
Ricky: The wanker sucker punched me. Whether it was the drink, the shock or instinct taking over. I launched an almighty haymaker that stunned him dead on his feet.

01:07:13.15
Ricky: Wow. I've never been in an actual fight before but apparently I'm pretty good at this stuff. Why end there? I carried on. I wanted to finish it. Fists of Fury were flying and I was winning the fight handedly.

01:07:26.45
Ricky: Just as I was convinced justice had been served, And the bouncer got to us. A warm sensation gurgled in my pants. Uh oh. Oh no! I couldn't believe it.

01:07:38.47
Ricky: It was happening. There was no stopping there. Just as the winning punch landed, Poetically, it was almost as if an opposing force had pushed the demon out of the back door A guinea pig size shit shot. its way out of my back passage with the force of the sledgehammer i could hear the doormen screaming around me as they pulled me away from the melee can anybody else smell puke oh my god what the fuck is that smell

01:08:06.18
Ricky: As I'm being dragged out of the club, my pals full of excitement over the situation are not detecting the fatal wafts of shit in the night air. all of a sudden found a second wind and insisted we carry on the night.

01:08:19.22
Ricky: with my pants full of secret shit. and face covered in claret I wanted nothing more than to drop to my knees like Willem Dafoe in Platoon. I managed to sneak into a bar next door.

01:08:30.14
Ricky: ditch my soiled undies behind the toilet bowl wash my face off and make a quick exit lads will be lads and thankfully nobody got seriously hurt or arrested for the sake of my dignity i haven't thrown a punch in anger and i'll happily go to my grave safe in the knowledge like this is something only I know.

01:08:49.22
Ricky: Very good. Very good

01:08:50.28
Flav: That is good. um why Why do people shit themselves sometimes? Is it the adrenaline?

01:08:56.04

01:09:04.24
Ricky: And these two, these three Tottenham fans, one Tottenham fan was on his own, two were together. They were supposed to mind his beers. He disappeared for like an hour on the train or something, a half hour.
