The Inbetweeners - Series 2 Page 4

"Are you the woman who sucks school boys off?"

That line killed!

I agree that the first half was a little flat but still OK. And the boat bit was excellent. Is it me or are Will's odd teeth even more off-putting than last series?

Bloody hell, it beat BBC2...

I remember reading an article that last year it started with nearly 300,000 and at the end of the run raised to just under 600,000.

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed.

:(

"You punched a fish!" - Classic.

Up and down episode, but good to see it back :)

Shame that there seems to be no subtitles uploaded at least yet :S Good episode but I just can't catch all the jokes :P

He's got a great 'persona' on stage.

Very funny that, thanks.

Funny stuff from him there; does he still do stand up? He seemed very natural and at home doing it.

Well, it'll be interesting to see what with the growing success of The Inbetweeners if he does it more often.

Wow, he really is rather good!

He's a regular performer at Edinburgh with fellow Inbetweener Joe Thomas (they perform as The House of Windsor)... however, they tend to do sketches more than stand-up. Last year (2008) they put on a much praised show called The Meeting in which the audience take part in their business boardroom meeting.

He's got a great style.

A bit of Gervais and Mitchell going on. But he does it with a real swagger too, which is a nice touch and adds to his 'geek' persona.

Mitchell is similar I think - they're both saying 'Yes, I'm verbose but I don't care'.

I really enjoyed the season 2 premiere. I thought it was funnier than any of the episodes in the first season, and the first season was very funny.

Bird's stand-up clips are great. How long until he'll be releasing a DVD?

Forgot to ask this earlier, but was anyone else bothered by the fact that the fish Neil punched to death in the boat was a ridiculously-out-of-place rainbow trout? A rainbow trout simply could not exist in the muddy brackish water from which it was caught. Sorry, but as an avid fly fisherman I found this pretty bothersome.

Also, I thought the whole fish punching in the boat scene was very reminiscent of the Jez eating Mummy on the canal boat scene in Peep Show.
