Joe Thomas, star of the cult British comedy “The Inbetweeners,” said in a podcast shared on Tuesday that there are talks of bringing the briefcase-wielding men back to the big screen.
Can you hear that? Somewhere far away? Not on a plane, but maybe someone saying “oh y'all buddy” to Thomas' co-star Simon Bird. All four of The Inbetweeners, along with James Buckley (Jay) and Blake Harrison (Neil), have apparently discussed reuniting for a third movie set in Las Vegas. According to To the Always Be Comedy podcast.
In typical style for his spiky-haired character Simon, Thomas told the show that a third series of the British comedy series has definitely been “discussed in various ways and we all feel that it would be a good thing.”
Ah, that's nice. Inie.
“We're all still together, we're still in each other's lives, we still like each other, and if something came up, we'd love to do it,” Thomas continued. “I think a movie would work if it was the right idea. It'd be hard to do another series because of the timeline, but with a movie, all the options are there,” exclaimed all millennials.
“Please give us this movie! Our lives are a mess and you guys are the only guys who can bring meaning and humor to the complete mess of the world since you fled to Australia and left us behind.” Oh maybe that's just me, but I stand by my opinion. We need another “The Inbetweeners.” (Related article: Bud Light still needs a tease, but it's hard to hate this comeback)
For those of you unfamiliar with the series, it's basically the reason we have comedians like Shane Gillis in America. These comedians were around long before you all were suddenly open to raunchy toilet jokes, so you're welcome. To further prove my point, here are some of my favorite clips from the show:
Thomas thinks a bachelor party would be the perfect setting to continue the boy's story. God bless Jay's party. “I think it needs to be a guy's story,” Thomas adds. “There's something a lot more complicated about the adult world than the adolescent world.” (RELATED: Reboot of iconic British comedy series 'Fawlty Towers' apparently not 'woke')
“Films can be special occasions. Films are about the chaos of everyday life, while sitcoms are about what everyday life is like. Films are stories with an ending, whereas sitcoms are like going to the pub with your funny friends, there is no set ending,” he concluded.
Oh, whatever. Sounds good. Can you continue?
