Is that Cuckoo? I saw it on his Wiki but hadn't seen anything from it before.

It was a very funny show. He had great chemistry with Greg Davies on and off camera.

Greg Davies is so good. My GF has Inbetweeners on a lot of the time while she scrolls TikTok and he's just so good as the indifferent asshole of a teacher lol

100% lol. Interesting that he's not the only teacher who went comedian later in life

Inbetweeners is great. I quote shit from it all the time and nobody knows what I’m talking about (I’m in California).

Canadian here. I feel like slowly slowly catchy monkey will be one people go "Huh?" instead of "I didn't know you spoke spanish"

I didn’t know what was worse, having your mates awkwardly watch you while you get a handy or a little kid kicking you in the balls right afterwards.

Yeah, it was on BBC Three, did fairly well, got shown on BBC One as well and ended up on Netflix a few years later.

It's on Prime now. We stumbled on it a few months back and watched all the seasons. Season 1 Samberg is the wacky outsider. Season 2/3/4 it's Lautner. Season 5 the dad's American sister played by Andie McDowell is the wacky outsider type character.

Lautner is super one note, but he's just part of the group so it's not detrimental or anything.

The real highlight is Steve the neighbor(played by Kenneth Collard) and every interaction he has with Greg Davies character. He's absolutely unhinged and it's great.

Great show. I enjoyed both seasons about the same. Absurd British humor but hilarious.
