The fuck did i just watch.
lmfao
At least now it may become somewhat entertaining. No offense but the UK hasn't produced anything watchable for years, the plot and ideas are there, but the production is just awful. Shameless being a prime example, the US adaption is a thousand times better in comparison.
Because people outside the UK just don't get modern day brittish humour.

And yet the same jokes are successful in all of it's adaptions around the world? It's merely your horrible accents and acting that ruin just about any decent idea/plot you guys come up with for TV Shows and Movies.
Parent
Nothing wrong with the accents imo. It makes it what it should be. It was cringe worthy watching that trailer and I cannot see how you can sit there and say: And yet the same jokes are successful in all of it's adaptions around the world? There wasn't a single thing that was successful about this trailer.
Parent
And neither has taking things out of context ever done anything good for anyone.
This, show, in particular, may not have yet as big of a fanbase because of all the hating self proclaimed nationalistic British people bashing the shit out of it, but it'll get its target audience and it'll be just as successful if not more as it was in the UK, probably a lot more so even. The accents are horrible, clearly you wouldn't agree because of the fact that you've grown up with it and talk the same your whole life already, but for anyone that wasn't born or doesn't live in the UK for the entirety of his life already finds it rather ridiculous.

I would say we have the second best film industry in the world. + About the horrible accents and acting, ever heard of James Bond? I could list many many many great British actors and movies.
Parent
And yet again, taken out of context.

how have I taken it out of context?
Parent
Good question, let me think... Oh.. Yeah, I know.
QuoteNo offense but the UK hasn't produced anything watchable for years, the plot and ideas are there, but the production is just awful.
Parent
So you're saying James Bond isn't watchable?
I would agree tho that most of the production is shoddy.
Parent
Sigh, you're still not quite getting it, but for what it's worth: Actually, yes, I do. The more recent ones are not living up to the good ol' classic, though they do have a lot of Hollywood/US influence.

The MORE recent (Within the past 10'ish years) UK production films/shows, are awful. Period.

I myself am a huge fan of old British classic, having watched all of the original Doctor Who series (Including 2005), Monthy Python, Benny Hill, etc. You name it. I've seen it and Love it.

HOLD ON SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT HARRY POTTER IS BAD
Parent
YES, YES I AM. DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS PROBABLY BY FAR THE WORST ACTOR IN EXISTENCE.
Parent
YOU I LIKE YOU


ITS SO FUCKING BRAVE TO SAY THAT
Parent
Haha I never thought of him as an actor. He's simply Harry Potter.
Parent
inbetweeners is one of the most popular comedy series in the UK and the film was a massive hit too, so your logic is pretty far off :S
Parent
How's that far off? It's a hit within the UK, not world-wide. The adaption will change that for reasons stated above.
Parent
who said anything about being popular worldwide (even though it is)...? Maybe its just you who doesn't have a sense of humour since the majority of people i know/have spoken to like it (no, not just english) :)
Parent
production perhaps - UK doesnt have the same money behind production as the US does - the audiences it is built for are not even a 10th of the size so that is obvious, surprised you brought it up as its quite pointless.

The UK version of the inbetweeners seemed quite normal and believable - it was OTT for sure. The US Trailer alone just bursts with fakeness - location (read: production sets) actors and actresses - its the normal American crap casting that is in every show. Its an industry based not on talented actors but faces.
Parent
Sorry, that's nonsense, the US Shameless is a big bag of shit, whilst the UK one is genius.
Parent
The US version of Shameless is actually good, but that one looks shitty.
i haven't seen office(UK) but i think the US version of it is pretty damn good
they did the same with skins

uk - normal
us - trash
Exactly. Idiots need violence, sex & vulgarity to be entertained..
Parent
dont worry nobody would go out of their way to watch that crap
It looks so bad it actually might be funnier than the original.
holy fucking shit, that's one of the worst things I've ever seen..
who cares chris, can you do this?
