Inbetweeners
No, they are redeemable twats.
Yes but everyone is capable of redemption, that's the point.
No they're great characters because they're great caricatures. They're one-dimensionally accurate but that single dimension is portrayed with such devastating accuracy we (or a sufficient number of us) recognise and relate to it instantly. It's a very difficult thing to pull off and it's something Brits tend to do very well. Gilray did it, Dickens did it and Ealing comedies did also. I don't know that The Inbetweeners is quite in their division but it's playing the same game at a high level.
