That comment about Shameless being more suited to an ''american dirty household'' is sooooo wrong. The British one portrays an English working class estate so well.
It didn't help that they basically just remade the original, almost shot for shot. What's the point? If you're going to remake something, you need to do something fresh with it.
Shocked by Jayse's hair... More shocked that when I checked his Instagram, I discovered he cut it way back on December 8!! The delay from shooting to uploading has gotten looonnggg if everything we saw mid-December until today was shot before early December. Definitely a far cry from the days when a music video or movie trailer would drop and we'd get a React video for it within a week.
It makes sense though especially considering they are able to put videos out every day during the week along with videos for the people vs food channel
Coupling wasn't a remake or a version of Friends. Coupling was just another group genre show that was popular in the 90s similar to Friends, This Life and Cold Feet. This is like saying The Witcher was a remake of Game of Thrones because they're both in the genre of fantasy TV shows.
completely agree...I saw coupling soon after I came to live in the UK back in 2002 and it was great! the characters had depth, the actors were good and the stories were about adult dilemmas and sexual exploration all with good British humour.... Friends was very goofy and the actors were not that good. Or maybe that's how some Americans were in the 90's/00's...weird
In what universe are Friends and Coupling the same show?!! I rewatch Coupling all the time that show is a classic. Everyone should watch the Inferno episode of Coupling. They are NOT the same show not even close!
It's not the same show. Different age groups covered, different tone, a completely unrelated show based on the creators experience and life as a foundation. It's not even comparable really, if you wanted a show like friends to watch Coupling would not be good. If you wanted a show like Coupling to watch, Friends wouldn't be good.
Coupling is not Friends, but being honest if I had to choose Coupling is way better than Friends because the theme was oriented to adults, Friends is more like family friendly, I will always say it, British comedy >> American comedy... by the way there was a US version of Coupling that was so terrible that was canceled after the first season.... oh and I love the US version of the Office but to me the British is better because that's the one I watched first.
The think with the U.K. Office it was genuinely a cringe comedy mockumentary, which they didn’t really stick with for the American version 😂. I’ve heard Americans say there is nothing likeable about David Brent and there aren’t any real funny jokes….that is quite literally the point and the joke for the audience 😂 the realistic awkwardness it created
Life On Mars is another one. The British version was fabulous (that ending...🤯) and they did a great job of adapting it to the US. Unfortunately network TV didn't have any idea what pre-existing box to put it in and canceled it before it even had a chance.
Asking Americans who did shows better when they've probably never even watched most of the British versions was the most redundant category ever, of course they were going to American 🙄
There is an American Coupling that was horrible and didn’t make it more than a couple of episodes. Coupling and Friends are similar, but not the same show.
They didn’t show Skins cos people would throw hands if they said US version was better 😂 Shamless is probably better depending which country you are from because the people are so relatable and familiar so for me UK is better because it’s my home, I don’t get the people from US seamless in the same way as UK, im sure Americans feel the same way.
I've never seen more than clips of either Shameless, but they seem to suit their respective audiences and be a different take on the same key ideas. On the other hands, Skins US was a pointless shot-for-shot remake of the UK version. They should have just shown the original.
I am in U.S. but I found the UK version so much better because it was wittier, much more subtle dark humor, of the kind the Brits are famous for a la Monty Python. American version was funny, but much more hit-you-over-the-head obvious type of humor. With the UK version, you sometimes have to dig down deep to appreciate the humor.
Number 3 is wrong because Coupling and Friends aren't the same show. There was a US version of Coupling that aired very briefly in 2003. It also aired on NBC. This is easily found on IMDb.
That's why I don't like fans of Friends. They ALWAYS bash Coupling by claiming it's a ripoff of Friends. It never felt similar to Friends and I've seen all seasons of both shows. Friends dragged on tooooo long. It should have ended at season 7. The last two were just "meh."
Shameless UK worked because it was relatable--everyone either knows of a family like that, or they are a family like that. In the US it worked because everyone's so used to seeing shows about successful families (even the working class is portrayed to have nice homes and few struggles, which is unrealistic) so it was something fresh and more honest.
JASE CUT HIS HAIR!!!! OMG!!! Always been an attractive man, the hair cut though looks amazing!!! (Not hitting on or objectifying, as a married woman with her own hot hubby, appreciating hottness when I see it and all the respect to Jase & his Hot wife 😁🥰💜💙)
I lost my ability to watch this with the friends comparison when friends very obviously ripped off a black sitcom called living single which premiered first. And it’s black history month. Not even a mention
The Great British Bake Off started in 2010, not 2014. It started airing in the U.S. as "...Baking Show" in 2014 so I guess that's technically true, but it makes it seem like the show didn't exist until it started airing in the U.S.
Yeah, they are very different shows. I mean, if the network few the inspiration that way, fine, but I don't link the that. A few of those Coupling episodes beat all of Friends hands down. Better writing.
I have to put my foot down on shameless. Although the American version was a faithful recreation the Frank and Micky characters were much better in the UK version. And it came first.
Coupling ran for four seasons between 2000-2004, was written and created by Steven Moffat and could be best described as Friends meets Seinfeld. The show has an IMDB score of 8.6 for a reason. Then after Coupling ended he then revived the now immensely popular Doctor Who in 2005 as showrunner till 2016 and during that time also helped create and write Sherlock in 2010 which is probably one of the best TV shows of the 21st century and made Benedict Cumberbatch a Hollywood star
Yeah, there was actually an American version of Coupling. It didn’t even get to finish the season because it was so bad. I remember watching the first episode of the American one and thinking, “Swing, and a miss!”
@@Beth04_W Even it was you wouldn’t know. We’re better at that too. Thats why you only have two comedians who are really in any way recognizable outside your own country
I'm pissed they chose the American shameless I'm from Manchester just a stones throw away from where it was filmed and it was so relatable it was exactly how it was growing up on a council estate in manny
Gonna miss Jayce's long beautiful hair but I gotta say he looks really good with the short hair. I had to do a double take like "Oh that IS Jayce!"
If you didn’t come from tiktok raise your hand 🤚🏽

I didn't know this was on TikTok
@@chipwhitley6509 it’s not this comment is a bot that people use to get likes
Ah, got it
OMG, JAYSE CUT HIS BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!!
That comment about Shameless being more suited to an ''american dirty household'' is sooooo wrong. The British one portrays an English working class estate so well.
Honestly was shocked 😂 I guess they think everyone’s fancy here
I though the exact same thing
Should of shown UK inbetweeners v the bad American remake 😅
Bad is giving it way too much credit. Can't beat the British Inbetweeners, especially Jay. :)
The only problem is that alot of them weren't very familiar with the uk versions so they tended to choose America quite alot cause of familiarity
They should do a follow up after this get them to watch one ep each of these shows from uk and us see if they change their minds which is best lol😅
I loved Jayse’s long hair but I’m also loving his new haircut; it’s a total vibe!
I was surprised that Skins wasn't shown. Granted the British version was 1000% better than the American one.
It didn't help that they basically just remade the original, almost shot for shot. What's the point? If you're going to remake something, you need to do something fresh with it.

I mean it's normal ain't it? Every production does it. Especially during holidays. They had to stack up episodes to upload during busy days.
It makes sense though especially considering they are able to put videos out every day during the week along with videos for the people vs food channel
Coupling (UK) is not a remake or version of Friends. There was a short-lived version of Coupling (US) tho
Coupling wasn't a remake or a version of Friends. Coupling was just another group genre show that was popular in the 90s similar to Friends, This Life and Cold Feet. This is like saying The Witcher was a remake of Game of Thrones because they're both in the genre of fantasy TV shows.

Jaaaaayse!! Your haaaaaair!! Omggg
I mean, damn ya look great with the new do, but I am shook nonetheless
"I love a good Scottish accent" when it's not a Scottish accent lol
Yh, I couldn't really tell what it was. As a Welsh person I was leaning towards Welsh but the audio was a bit hard to pick up on
The fact that they showed Celebrity Bake Off but DIDN'T CHOOSE JAMES ACASTER'S MELTDOWN is a crime
Bon appetit
Coupling isn't a remake of Friends. Some people have compared it to Friends, but it wasn't based on it.
Friends and Coupling have nothing to do with each other wtf. .
Jayse looks nice with his hair short! He also looks nice with long hair
Quick note, technically Strictly Come Dancing was a revival of an OLD UK show called Come Dancing that started in.......... 1950 !!! lol
So glad someone said it.
JAYCE !!!! Your hair 😭.....
wow jayse hair, what? grow it back!!!!
ALL OF JAYSE’S HAIR IS GONE!!! Don’t talk to me, I’m in mourning.
What happened to Jayse' Hair?? 😨😂
In what universe are Friends and Coupling the same show?!! I rewatch Coupling all the time that show is a classic. Everyone should watch the Inferno episode of Coupling. They are NOT the same show not even close!

I was not prepared for Jayse’s hair!
You’re rocking it man!
Another react that does not disappoint
Jayse cut all of his hair off 😱
“I love a Scottish accent”. That was a Welsh accent pal
Jayse CUT his HAIR!!! O.O
Are we not going to talk about Jayse cutting his hair?
That is what I was thinking...
His hair, his beautiful hair 😭😭
Did you not scroll the comments? Every other one is about Jayse's hair. I believe the subject has thoroughly been covered.
The think with the U.K. Office it was genuinely a cringe comedy mockumentary, which they didn’t really stick with for the American version 😂. I’ve heard Americans say there is nothing likeable about David Brent and there aren’t any real funny jokes….that is quite literally the point and the joke for the audience 😂 the realistic awkwardness it created
OMG JAYSE’S HAIR
WTH did Jayse do to his hair??? I loved his long luscious locks :(

US made a version of Coupling, called Coupling , It was canceled in a month.
No more long hair jayse? 😱😱😱
Jayse looks so different but still the same
Honestly took me a second lol
There is an American Coupling that was horrible and didn’t make it more than a couple of episodes. Coupling and Friends are similar, but not the same show.
Jayse cut his hair and he’s still super hot when ever doing these react videos
JAYSE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Jayce... Where's your hairrrrr??? 😮😮
it needs to come back asap
He looked way better with long hair
@@HarrisonPeloso don't get me wrong he looks handsome with any hair but he had such a beautiful hair
"I love a good Scottish accent" says the American after hearing a Welsh accent. Jeez. 5:11
I'm American and I NEVER get the Welsh and Scots mixed up. Guy needs to get his ears checked...
Jayse with short hair? Nobody's expecting that. Wow.
My heart 💔
Coupling had a U.S version it was rubbish, don't put our coupling against friends pls pit it against the U.S version. U.K. will win. Thanks Love u all
JAYSE!!! WtH man, where is your hair??? 😮😮😮 it looks great though
Check out that haircut on Jayse! It's so different, but looks fantastic!!

uk shameless is a mile better then american 1

Wow Jayce looks good with short hair
Jayse is rocking his new hair!!😊
Jayse with short hair was shocking. He looks good though.
Cant really ask them to judge which show is better when they have never seen the british versions.
Almost didnt recognise Jayse with his new hairstyle, also Coupling has nothing to do with Friends and there was an American version of it on NBC
Britain all day long, not even a competition
The American Shameless was more of a cartoon while the British one stayed closer to that grit.
Started watching the British version because of James McAvoy, couldn't stop watching.
Jayse have new look 😲😲😲
He's got a Welsh not a Scottish accent in Coupling. Richard Coyle was in the Netflix Sabrina show.
Friends is a ripoff from Living Single.
I couldn't contain myself after I saw Jayse new haircut. Dang still looking good
woah jace cut his hair!
WTF??!! How can u make an American version of Shameless??.. It was based on working class England
They’re not gunna understand uk shameless when it’s typical British living
Not typical at all!
im sorry but US Shameless has nothing on UK Shameless i grew up with the UK shameless and when US made their own I couldn't get past the first episode
Shameless UK worked because it was relatable--everyone either knows of a family like that, or they are a family like that.

Jayse!!! Where did your glam rock hair gooooo??
Me seeing Jayse *gasps* he cut off his haaaaiiiirr!
Coupling was not a re-make of friends, and to view it as such detracts from its greatness.
JACE YOUR HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I adore Coupling... should have compared with the US (Failed) version
The British Shameless is hands down the better version, same with The Inbetweeners, Skins etc
Yea u need to be British to get some of it the luv 🤣😭
I wouldn’t consider Coupling a UK remake of Friends, especially since NBC tried to make an American remake of Coupling
and friends was made 6 years prior to coupling
Yeah, they are very different shows. I mean, if the network few the inspiration that way, fine, but I don't link the that.
A few of those Coupling episodes beat all of Friends hands down. Better writing.
@@dreamcoyote 100% agree Lesbian Spank inferno will never not be funny.
I love a Scottish accent in Coupling.. Er he's from Wales.
Jayseee Nooooooooooooooo! Who is Jayce without the long silky hair? He looks good though but still I want the hair back.
JAYSE YOUR HAIR!!!! 😭😭😭 such a loss but you look great 🥹
I have to put my foot down on shameless. Although the American version was a faithful recreation the Frank and Micky characters were much better in the UK version.
And it came first.
Omg did Jayse get a haircut

WTF HAPPENED TO JAYSE HAIR!!!!
he donated it 😊
That's sad 😢😭
Coupling and friends have nothing in common really couplings funner and more off the wall you can't compare Friends and Coupling
Yeah, there was actually an American version of Coupling. It didn’t even get to finish the season because it was so bad. I remember watching the first episode of the American one and thinking, “Swing, and a miss!”
yeah I saw part of the first epsode the only reson Jeffs lines work is the Irish accent.@@HorusHawks
R.I.P Jayce's hair.
They were bound to pick US versions over British the majority of the time - Cultural relevance.
American shows in general are just better, and our comedy translates more. You guys are really only seen as funny to yourselves
@@MikeBronson515is that satire?
@@Beth04_W Even it was you wouldn’t know. We’re better at that too. Thats why you only have two comedians who are really in any way recognizable outside your own country
@@MikeBronson515 LOL
Uk office was better I like the American version though,but the American shameless is horrible the uk version is infinitely better.
WHERES HIS HAIR
JAYSE!!! YOUR HAIR!!!
it looks great though!!!
Shameless UK is SOOOOOOO much better!
1000% better and funnier
I like UK Shameless. It also introduced me to a young James McAvoy.
I'm pissed they chose the American shameless I'm from Manchester just a stones throw away from where it was filmed and it was so relatable it was exactly how it was growing up on a council estate in manny
Actually there was an American version of Coupling made after the UK version
I remember that..still prefer UK Coupling.
Asking people to judge between 2 shows they've never seen. Results null and void. 😂
It results American wins because there American
Such a bad clip for Strictly. Should have shown the Fashion opener. Classic.
Fun Fact: Strictly Come Dancing was originally just called Come Dancing and first aired in 1950, at 11-12 at night!!! We really did do it first lol 😂
Pfff! Coupling is not Friends! Not at all, there was a Coupling U.S and it never made it because it was awful
Funniest show ever!!!
OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO JAYSE?!?!
WHEN DID HE CUT HIS HAIR!!??
cut his hair to donate to kids wigs
Jayse got a hair cut .... i screamed
Hollered 😢
