I dunno though, Jay seems more pretentious than reactionary and too easily offended. If Tookey reminds me of anyone, it's Helen Lovejoy from The Simpsons.
Anyways, I posted his review of The Inbetweeners movie on Facebook earlier. It would appear that even my more right-wing friends don't like Tookey and his pearl-clutching toss.
But anyway, I don't see its mere existance as a triumph for yob culture; the show in no way glorifies how the main characters act. The whole point is to laugh at how pathetic they are. Kind of like Peep Show: The Teenage Years.
I'm starting to wonder if Tookey is like Liz Jones, in that the Mail keeps him on, despite the fact that everyone seems to think he's an idiot (presumably for extra site hits).
Only just saw this post. I love The Critic.Waterstones wrote:Yesterday I was rewatching the mid-90's Cartoon TV show 'The Critc' from James L .Brooks one of the creators of the Simpsons on YouTube and I was struck how Jay Sherman reminded me of Tooky.

I've disliked that cunt ever since I read his review of Kick-Ass.
Isn't "yob culture" an oxymoron?
Clearly he's never seen Men Behaving Badly, which was doing basically the same thing (minus the swearing, I'll give it that) a good 20-odd years ago
To be honest, I'm not really a fan of The Inbetweeners myself. I don't strongly dislike it, and I don't find it offensive, I just never got into it. Although there is a bit where the thick one punches a fish to death. That was quite funny.I, for one, would like to see what he made of 'Skins' and 'Kevin and Perry Go Large'
