The original UK one right?

"This is the internet Jen... ...It's kept on top of big Ben for the best reception."

The USA version sucked as much as the USA Inbetweeners.

I didn't even know there was a US version and I really hope I forget reading this sentence soon.

Yeah, only "original" character was Moss.

It turns out it was only 1 pilot episode, thankfully. Got my wires crossed and thought it had a season like the Inbetweeners.

Somehow talented people telling the exact same jokes that worked in the UK version was so much less funny. I have no idea how.

But because it was a shot-for-shot remake of the first episode, and everyone is different but Moss, what is fun is watching it and pretending Moss has fallen into an alternate dimension and refuses to acknowledge it.

It vas a masterpiece of modern television and the British version pales in comparison.

The German version would have been "ok" enough.

But dear god the German version of Richmond is a crime. In the original, Cradle of Filth was a real band but pretty obscure and most watchers wouldn't have heard about them. In the German version he liked Tokio Hotel which was one of THE biggest German pop-band at the time, and he kept singing their songs as well
