History Series / TheInbetweeners

* KickTheSonOfABitch: When Will finds Patrice in bed with Charlotte on his birthday, he tells [[CrazyJealousGuy Donovan]] where Charlotte is, knowing that Donovan will almost certainly find Patrice and beat him up.

* AgainstMyReligion: Will tries to get out of helping at the fashion show by telling Mr Gilbert that he has a "moral objection" to fashion shows as he thinks they're just an excuse for vain and popular kids to show off. Mr Gilbert agrees with him - then makes him to do it anyway.

* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Apart from Jay's dad owning a plant hire yard and a reference to Simon's dad having to transfer to Swansea, there is very little evidence that any of the parents do anything for a living. This is especially notable in the case of Will's mum and Neil's dad who are both divorced single parents, but seemingly are in no danger of poverty.

** How the mildly-retarded Neil ends up with all the booty he gets on this show is ''beyond'' mind-boggling. He takes nearly all of Will's leftovers, including Charlotte, with far more success than Will ever had with any of them, and is the only one of the four to lose his virginity prior to the movie (to a single mother at the cheese counter in the local supermarket where he works). That said, the movie shows that he has [[AnythingThatMoves no standards whatsoever]].

* HollywoodDateless: Will's supposed to be the geek who can't get a girlfriend yet over the course of the series he's got a chance to have sex with one of the hottest and most popular girls in school, had a complete stranger kiss him and offer him sex, almost had sex with an attractive older nurse, had a girl offer to give him a blow job because she's desperate to make him her boyfriend and in the movie he [[spoiler: gets a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend]]. Most teenage boys who ''aren't'' geeks would be lucky to have even one of those things happen, never mind all five. It actually goes for all of the four main characters - even though the show is supposed to be about some semi-losers who are completely below most girls' league, they have managed to pick up a fair amount of girls during all the episodes. Often, their problem is not that they cannot charm the girls, but that they screw up at crucial moments which leaves them virgins. Even Jay who is supposed to be the ultimate CasanovaWannabe is much better with the girls than someone with his personality would probably be in RealLife - ''his'' problem is that he prefers to brag to his friends about his fictional conquests instead of actually trying to talk to girls. In the movie, he even has the best grasp of the unwritten rules for meeting girls at a club, but prefers to sit alone at the bar instead.

** Simon's parents are far too sexually active for their age, as well as far too open about that fact. .

* MistakenForRacist: A drug dealer accuses Jay and Neil of racism when they asked him to buy some marijuana, assuming that they guessed he was dealing drugs only because he's black, although they actually saw him selling marijuana early on.

* CasanovaWannabe: Jay, with his farfetched stories of losing his virginity at age 12 to foreign mistresses, is probably the most pathetic example. The amount of action he gets is directly opposed to the amount of fictional sexual conquests he brags about. Jay the Casanova Wannabe is the direct opposite of Neil the KavorkaMan, and Simon and Will are somewhere in between. Ironically, Jay is the only one who does not manage to ''pursuade'' a girl/woman to have sex with him during the [=TV=] series.

* BaitAndSwitch: Initially, Carli is presented as a nice GirlNextDoor while Charlotte is an AlphaBitch. It soon becomes clear that they're actually closer to being [[ManipulativeBitch the other]] [[DefrostingIceQueen way around]].
** Carli clearly strings along and torments Simon with the full knowledge that he's dying inside for her.
** Charlotte on the other hand maintains a cheerful, witty cameraderie with Will, even after his disaster in bed, and treats him much more as a real friend.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: The four main characters are teenage boys, so they all do it. Will at one point has to point out that it can't be considered a hobby. Jay in particular needs to "release the valves" ''several times a day'' which gets him into trouble at the old folks' home. Seemingly the only thing capable of putting him off is if his dog is watching.

** More or less Jay's reaction when he hears that his dad's had his dog put down after believing his lies about it crapping indoors in the third series. To make matters worse, all he wanted to do was get it out of the way for a bit so he could have some... [[ADateWithRosiePalms time to himself.]]

* UnusualEuphemism: "Clunge" is quite a popular one, and has since become embedded in the common British vernacular. Others such as "bellend" [[note]]glans penis[[/note]] and "wank bank" [[note]]a notional place where you mentally file sexually appealing memories for [[ADateWithRosiePalms future reference]][[/note]] were already staples of British student slang but further popularised by the series.

* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Aside from Jay's dad, who is shown running his own plant hire yard, we never see what the lads' parents do for a living. Simon's dad works in an unspecified job that was apparently downsizing at the end of series 3, Neil's dad is stated to not be making much money, and there's an implication that Will's mum might possibly have done a shoot for a porn mag to help ends meet.
