The Inbetweeners Fwends Reunited 10th anniversary show has been slammed by devoted fans following its New Year's Day airing.
Flooding Twitter with angry responses, viewers lashed out at the Jimmy Carr-fronted show, which saw stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley join together to run through a retrospective of the cult classic.
While some branded the programme 'toe-curling, painful, awkward and cringeworthy', others were left agitated at the concept as they believed the comedy was set to be a new episode rather than a chat show.
Happy days: The Inbetweeners Fwends Reunited 10th anniversary show has been slammed by devoted fans following its New Year's Day airing
The foursome, who played Will McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland and Jay Cartwright respectively, clubbed together to chat to the funnyman before going for a spin in the now-iconic yellow Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii car.
There was much fanfare over the reunion, however it seems the problems arose for fans due to confusion over the premise of the programme.
Twitter users penned: 'Lukewarm thoughts on the Inbetweeners reunion, nice throwback & really enjoyed the section in the car...
'However Jimmy Carr was an awful host & talked over everyone. The 4 of them looked like they didn’t want to be there some of the time, and some of it was super cringe... #FwendsReunited was painfully bad. Greg Davies should’ve hosted it...

'#Inbetweeners... First let down of 2019 was thinking the inbetweeners special was going to be an episode when really it was a best bits of the show...
'The Inbetweeners reunion was toe-curling... The biggest disappointment of 2019 has already happened, Inbetweeners Friends Reunited, what is this s**t ffs...
'Format of this show is f**king awful. Get rid of Jimmy Carr, get rid of the pointless awards and lets just have the cast anecdotes #fwendsreunited'.
Another problem arose in fans' confusion over the premise of the programme, as users wrote: 'I can’t be the only one who thought The Inbetweeners was going to be a 2 hour “special episode” instead of a Jimmy Carr panel show...
Here come the -boys! There was much fanfare over the reunion, however it seems the problems arose for fans due to confusion over the premise of the programme
Shocker: The show featured a host of inside facts and a glimpse at the first pilot
'Can we all agree that the inbetweeners reunion was false advertising?'
Despite this, others made it clear they were aware of the concept, writing: 'Blimey people are really losing their s**t on here about that #inbetweeners special that was on C4 last night!...
'If i see one more person complain that the inbetweeners reunion wasn’t a new episode i might delete my whole account because it was made so clear that it was a reunion. roll on 2020...
'As if everyone thought that Inbetweeners reunion was an actual episode as always gonna be just a catch up show... if u thought it was gonna be another episode of the inbetweeners tonight u are truly brain damaged'.
Critics also hit out at the show, with a review in The Telegraph branding the show: 'A shambolic mess that failed to do the show justice'.
Aside from upset at the episode, fans were excited to hear a host of inside details including the fact that Doctor Who star Matt Smith had tried and failed for the job of James' character Jay.

In May, James teased fans with the reveal of a reunion as he posted an image with his former co-stars.
James posted a picture to Twitter with the caption 'series four pre-production meal' before sending fans into a frenzy - despite lead star Simon insisting that the show is over for good.
Speaking ahead of the return, he said: 'We are like family, and any excuse to get together we’ll take. That’s why we’re doing this show – it’s just an excuse to meet up.'
Ahead of the return, Simon said: 'I get called briefcase w****r, which is obviously a classic. Bumder is a bit of a go-to. All the old favourites.'

In October, James admitted he does not feel the show would be well-received if made now, due to the 'joke police' in modern comedy.
A decade after the show kicked off, he spoke to Digital Spy about the programme, which he insisted would be problematic to a modern audience.
He said: 'Nowadays, it feels very black and white with comedy. There's no in-between, it's just, 'This person said this on television - isn't that terrible? It's killing comedy... There seems to be a joke police, nowadays.'

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
