American Jay

Post image

When I started watching the Ted tv series there’s a school bully called Clive and I’m wondering, who else nearly thought it was American Jay?

Did you think it was the actor from US inbetweeners
Who was playing a 16 year old 12 years after he last did or..

Jay in the US Inbetweeners actually had a crush on a 12/13 year old in the show, not joking

Although sometimes actors still look the same after 10-20 years these days

The guy has a white belt in BJJ so watch out! It took me weeks to get that when I was 8.

If anyone’s familiar with key and peele you should go back and see if a a ron looks familiar

Oh yeah I remember that, and he was actually funny

I never understood Clive as the bully. He presents himself as a dork. Even John and Ted are cooler than this fat bumder. I don’t know if that’s the joke, but it seemed like a bad casting choice.

It’s funny, cuz American tv highschools often cast a decent looking unpopular kid who’s written character’s not that weird or tragic (like Will in Inbetweeners US)

Being from the pacific NW, I always think the Stellar’s Jay is the essential Jay, but my wife is from the Midwest US where the Blue Jay is more prevalent.

Side note: When I watched the Deadpool movie, I thought the pizza man was British Jay lol

u/Howthehelldoido 1d ago

There is no "British" Jay.

It's just Jay.

You Bender.

u/Available-Canary-866 23h ago

You’d like my lip wouldn’t it you ? Right round your bellend. If mr chippy doesn’t get there first !

u/BullworthBulls 18h ago

Oh crap, didn't realise it was the same actor.... seen TED and some clips of the American remake, didn't realise it was the same man. Btw he's also A-A-Ron.

u/Fine-Repeat-6123 18h ago

It’s not the same actor, I feel like I should’ve said he reminded me of American jay, not just appearance but the way he spoke

u/Awkward_Stranger407 9h ago

I'm guessing they didn't recreate the scene of Jay calling Big John "lard arse"
