Jay (dunno his real name) seems awfully moody, probabaly due to the fact people kept on taking photos with him and eating his chips.

If someone ate my chips I'd slap a bitch.

I've never seen The Inbetweeners but I did use to really like Skins, season 1 + 2. Season 3 is just a bit ridiculous. However, speaking of Skins they are adapting and American version set in my hometown/home state.
Not saying it's going to be good though, it'll probably end up being god awful.

now i really want to watch inbetweeners. booo usa.

Yeah but every show that's imported to American television ends up getting destroyed due to our censorship laws. I tried watching Skins on BBC America and what was a hour long show they edited and condensed it to like 30 minutes (some episodes). It really ruins it because most of the funniest bits or the best bits are cut out because it's deemed to raunchy. ):

you make an excellent point. i wish it was out on region 1 dvd but it doesn't seem to be.

by natalieaja on Thu 24 Sep 2009, 3:48 am

They probably will put it out on Region 1 soon. There is so much hype about it over here. A friend of mine bought season 1 on Region 2 a really long time ago and we used to watch it on a PS2 because apparently they support any DVD you put in there haha.

I'm having real trouble picking between the two tbh. For one they are two completely different genres and both equally as brilliant in their own way. I agree with alot of people on the Skins matter though (series one and two were alot better than three and four and i'm hoping for a much better fifth and sixth). I think because alot of people have been picking The Inbetweeners i'll back up Skins as I think it deserves a little bit more love.

by Guest on Tue 31 Aug 2010, 4:19 pm

They're both utterly shit. Skins wins though, purely 'cause I can put series 3-4 on mute and rub one out over Emily/Naomi.

INBETWEENERS!

by **leeburgess** on Tue 26 Oct 2010, 2:58 am

US Skins = LOL

by Guest on Tue 26 Oct 2010, 10:14 am

They're both terrible. If I had to pick one though, I'd say Skins was marginally better for including Emily and Naomi. Mmmmmm.

But you like 'the only was is Essex'. You sicken me Horner.

Second that, emily is a stunner.
Inbetweeners is too short and when i think about it, its not that funny. There are a few really funny parts but often it doesnt get a giggle..

I can second this. There aren't that many Canadian shows, so we mostly get american channels. Soo much tv is censored if you watch the originals then the american adapted versions.

by **Malky** on Fri 29 Oct 2010, 3:18 am

The Royal Canadian Air Farce was pretty good.

by aprilMCC on Fri 29 Oct 2010, 3:48 am

Oh yeah, not saying our shows aren't good. I actually really like some of our shows, like Flashpoint for example. Just saying we get more American shows then we do Canadian ones.

Inbetweeners for definite, Skins is so outlandish in my opinion, nothing like that happens near me and we have some pretty crazy people

U R NOT URBAN VINTAGE ENOUGH!

Seriously though, I'd pump Emily so hard I'd give her Nan a hemorrhage.

the first two series of skins were better than the ones with the new cast, but i did still love it.
as funny as the inbetweeners is, i'll say skins.

really want to watch the US skins, my mate from canada, rachel, is playing michelle.

We're not very wild up north although recently there's been a spike in stuff happening, maybe enough to fill 10 minutes of an episode of Skins. But yes, Emily is fit indeed.

Skins all the way. Though I love Inbetweeners too. But, i'm staying loyal to skins, though the new series looks like poo!
