James Buckley's iconic role as Jay from The Inbetweeners continues to haunt him as Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper brilliantly trolled him on social media.
Although Buckley - who starred as the iconic The Inbetweeners character in three seasons and two films - hasn't played Jay since 2014, he is constantly reminded of his legendary catchphrases.
'Ohhh friends' and 'completed it mate' are certainly two of the most famous ones, along with 'bus w***ers'.
In fact, he's still making a killing from it and just last year Buckley was announced as the first international ‘Cameo millionaire’ after netting $1m from the fan engagement platform.
Cameo co-founder Martin Blencowe explained: "James was incredibly popular from the start, but he’s stayed committed to his fans, always keeping an accessible price (even during his busiest periods) and giving his all to make each Cameo special."

Well just yesterday (August 26) it seems that beloved TV star Cooper - who regularly clocks 117-hour weeks on Clarkson's Farm - poked fun at Buckley's old character on Instagram.
The pair took a selfie together and looked to have met at The Big Feastival, although this has not been confirmed.
Referencing Jay's famous line, Cooper wrote in his caption: "Farming friends!!! He also told me he has completed my tour I’m going on next year."
"The combo I didn’t know I needed wow," one person commented as another added: "Completed it mate."

But despite making a fortune, years after playing Jay on The Inbetweeners, Buckley says that no amount of money would make him play that character again.
As a guest on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X in 2022, the host asked the actor: "If the people who wrote The Inbetweeners said 'We’ve got a script…
"'It's basically what everyone's up to now, do you want to see it?' You’d say yes?"
Buckley bluntly replied with: "No."

Moyles then hit back: "What?! Would you not?" to which Buckley explained: "Not because I don't think I would have an amazing time doing it, because I know I would.
"I love the boys, I love the writers.
"Doing The Inbetweeners was the best job in the world.
"All we did was muck around all day long and they filmed us doing it, and at the end of the day, we might have had an episode, or a TV, you know, or a film or something. It was the best job in the world.

"But it might - you know, as I'm getting older - it's looking like it might be the only thing that I do professionally that is universally loved.
"There's not enough money in the world for me to spoil that."
