Editing Jay Cartwright (section)

===Friendships===
'''[[Neil Sutherland]]:''' Neil is the only one of the boys gullible enough to believe Jay's lies, and Jay sees Neil as his best friend. He frequently uses Neil as his wingman when going after girls/when he tries to "pull" girls and he often peer pressures Neil into assisting him with his main activities. Neil's low wit/dim-wittedness and poor intelligence does annoy Jay on occasion, but Jay is often the quickest in the group to forgive him due to the fact that Neil is his closest friend. In the final episode of the series, "The Camping Trip", Neil reveals he had lost his virginity to a work colleague and Jay remarks how he knew that Neil would be the first of the boys to do so and welcomes him into "The Shagger's Club". Simon then states that only 50% of the members have had sex, proving Jay is a liar.

'''[[Simon Cooper]]:''' Jay and Simon have known each other since they were seven years old. Although close friends, they regularly fall out and argue. Jay's selfishness and rudeness affects Simon the most out of the boys, as Jay's behaviour often causes most of Simon's problems. Whilst most of the problems Jay causes for Simon are inadvertent, such as breaking his car door on a lamppost, Jay occasionally deliberately gets Simon into bother. Examples of this are when Jay allows Simon's car to roll into a lake, gives Simon poor sex advice, or pretends that Simon stank out the toilet at a party to diminish Simon's chances of impressing Carli. Jay and Simon clash constantly, with Jay's bragging and Simon's sexual frustration being a focal point in their friendship. Whilst in Malia (Greece), Jay and Simon have a major argument which leads to them physically fighting and creates a split in the group, though they reconcile later on. Jay sometimes shows his softer side around Simon, and also revealed that he hoped that he and Simon could start their own business together.

'''[[Will McKenzie]]:''' Jay and Will have an on-off friendship, always having their ups and downs. Jay shows a disliking to Will when he first meets him but soon accepts Will into the group. Whenever Jay tries to mock Will, he retorts with dry humour. Will is the wisest of the group to Jay's hyperbolic boasting and often the first to call him out on his lies. Although they often argue, Jay does show care and remorse for Will such as when he and Simon come round to Will's house to comfort him about Charlotte breaking up with him. In ''The Inbetweeners Movie'', Jay prevents Will from falling asleep on an ants' nest and even gives Will his own bed, implying Jay care for Will. In "The Inbetweeners 2", when Jay introduces the group to his uncle Bryan, he says that "these are my friends from England; Simon and Neil", ignoring Will, perhaps implying that Jay doesn't regard Will to be of the same status as Simon and Neil.
