10 Most Quotable British TV Shows

Is this even a surprise? The Inbetweeners seems to have ingrained itself in British culture like no other comedy sitcom. Having three series and two films, The Inbetweeners is still regularly quoted and referenced despite not having released anything new since 2014. This is likely due to the fact that it just nails the characterisation and setting of a UK sixth form.

Like many of the best British comedies, including those on this list, The Inbetweeners has you laughing at the characters and cringing as they stumble from one social embarrassment to another. All four of the main leads play their role perfectly, with James Buckley perhaps coming out with some of the show's most famous quotes. His constant need to lie to impress his friends never fails to amuse, such as when he claimed he "got on a pedalo and ended up in Africa." Or the time he told the boys "when I fingered her, she s*** down my arm." Classic.

The constant bickering and insulting in the group just lands so close to home for so many people, and the show lends itself well to being quoted when you yourself are arguing or picking on one of your friends. If you ever see your friend walking around with a briefcase, you already know the first thing you're gonna say to him.
