The Inbetweeners/Fridge

Fridge Horror

• A subtle one in The Inbetweeners. Jay's one of the most hilarious characters on the show, but look at him from a psychological perspective and something surfaces. He has an extremely warped and fantasist view of sexuality and the female gender, an unhealthy relationship with an overbearing parent, self esteem issues and a pathological need to be noticed. That could lead to...issues in the future.
  • In the series 3 finale, it's revealed Jay's parents had sent him to a psychologist in the past.
    • It has to be said that whilst his father is often pushy and rude to him in public, we never see what happens behind closed doors.
    • It is also hinted at by Neil that Jay was sexually abused by his elderly neighbour as a child.
