Recap / The Inbetweeners S 3 E 4 Tripto Warwick

Go To

Unable to find somewhere private to have sex, Simon and Tara are going to visit her sister at Warwick University so they can do it there. Unfortunately for Simon's chances of losing his virginity, the other boys invite themselves along - Jay so he can give Simon his "expert" sex advice, Neil because he's got nothing better to do, and Will on the pretext that he wants to take a look around one of his university choices (although he actually just doesn't want to be left out).

This episode contains examples of:

  • Auto Erotica: Suggested by Simon, rejected by Tara.
  • Calling Shotgun: Simon lets Tara sit in the backseat, in the uncomfortable space between Will and Jay, just because Neil called shotgun, and she does not manage to change his mind.
  • Cringe Comedy: Simon trying to get Tara to put a condom on with her mouth. And then screaming at and manically punching his penis in a bizarre attempt to make it erect, which only succeeds in reducing Tara to tears. He then appears naked in front of everyone with a semi-erection.
  • Does Not Like Men: Sophie comes across this way, given that she's antagonistic towards every male character she is seen talking to. She's hugely disapproving of Tara's choice of boyfriend and she had previously warned her that Simon would "go weird" on her. That said, it doesn't help that six of the seven boys in the house that night caused either a disturbance or a mess; the only one who didn't was Will, and he ate a Bonsai plant.
  • Fratbro: Sophie's flatmate Joe and his two mates are very loud and come up with the most bizarre reasons to either chug beer or make someone else chug beer. Jay and Neil quickly get involved in their impromptu drinking session.
  • Idiot Ball: You would have thought that by now Simon would have learned to never listen to Jay about sexual advice, but he does just that when feeling nervous about having sex with Tara. Of course, it blows up in his face.
  • Jerkass: Sophie spends her entire screentime being as hostile to the boys as possible. It's implied that having to share a house with a Fratbro might have something to do with her misandristic attitude.
  • The Loins Sleep Tonight: This happens to Simon when he gets into bed with Tara; the inevitable consequences of listening to Jay's very bad advice.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Simon listens to Jay's sexual advice, and as a result fails to have sex with Tara.
  • Urine Trouble: After a night of drinking with the students, Neil wets the bed, and then proceeds to piss all over Will.
