Simon is the first person that came to my mind when I saw this post. Also the way you said UK Inbetweeners made me realize there's also US version. Even the thought of it sounds terrible and I won't even bother to check it.
Maybe in dramas, you can find more examples but for comedy, the office is the best only example I think. Makes you appreciate the producers even more, considering how tough a job it is.
The US version of Ghosts is also much better than the UK version which inspired it.
They are having a lore more fun with the universe/rules and exploring the Ghosts characters more. If the US version had the UK lead actress instead it'd be perfect
It seems a bit much to me, as well as a bit dated, but not unusual, interesting, or offensive enough that I would look twice if I saw it in person. I agree, it's not atrocious.
