The special itself was a chat show with multiple segments including a quiz with four fans of the show, a history of the programme's production hosted by Neil Oliver, and awards based on the programme's best characters and moments. The special was met with a mostly negative reception from critics and fans alike; criticism from general viewers was primarily aimed at it being a simple chat show when a number of fans had mistakenly anticipated it as being a one-off special episode.

The show got away with such crassness and puerility because it was supposed to be crass and puerile: these were children, fully loaded with ignorance, naivety and stupidity. It laughed at the pathetic wretchedness of their behaviour, poking particular fun at Jay’s lies about his sexual triumphs. It also knew how to craft a genuinely comic scene: Simon’s accidental exposure of his testicle on the runway of a school fashion show is base but undeniably funny. For all the vulgarity and insensitivity, the TV show was always redeemed by the setting and situation. Where The Inbetweeners truly jumped the shark was during its transition to the big screen, where its characters reached adulthood but the humour didn’t.The first episode of series two, which aired on E4 at 10 pm ( BST) 2 April 2009, averaged 958,000 viewers, [28] with another 234,000 viewers watching at 11 pm on the time-shift channel E4 +1 meaning it was watched by 1.2 million, the highest audience of 2009 for E4.

Each child in the top year completed a survey of most embarrassing moment at primary, favourite TV programme, favourite foods etc. This British comedy sequel is a rare thing in that it's a TV sitcom that's ben turned into a movie and actually worked. The Inbetweeners 2 won't be for everyone, but following on from the first movie, which also found its place amongst fans of the original TV series, the crude humor seamlessly transitions from small to big screen. This time Will, Simon, Neil, and Jay have swapped sunny Spain -- the destination in the first movie -- for a trip to Australia. But despite the change in scenery, the tonality and essence of what made this comedy series so popular, is there for all to see.a b Blunkett, John (14 September 2010).

Taking the tired format of a lads’ holiday, The Inbetweeners Movie (2011), sees the foursome decamp to Malia for a sort of millennial update on Kevin & Perry Go Large. Cue: slow-mo drinking scenes, cliched storylines, repetitive dialogue, the bantz meter cranked to full and the gang bumping into their old sixth-form head teacher being a party animal. By the time The Inbetweeners 2 (2014) found the group in Australia, the well was truly dry and any semblance of charm had vanished. Genzlinger, Neil (25 January 2010). "Dreams of a Teenage Loser".

Reynolds, Simon (9 May 2014). "The Inbetweeners 2 trailer is here: The gang go Down Under". Digital Spy . Retrieved 10 May 2014. There's a very sharp writerly hand on the wheel of THE INBETWEENERS, which elevates the humor from dumb raunch to truly inspired filthiness in the same way the original British series did. But there's plenty here to trouble parents, who would probably prefer to watch the show themselves for a laugh, rather than have teens tune in. One gag will illustrate this concept: Will shows up to skip school with his friends and lies to one of their mothers that the van parked down the street is his. "I know it's a little molestery," he says, "but I got a great deal, from a molester. But he didn't molest in it, he just used it to um, transport for molesting." A few minutes later, the boys pass the van as a shirtless man leans out and offers them a ride. "Maybe later," says Simon. "You got cool muscles." A few minutes later, Will refers to having "dodged a rape."
