Reverse cowgirl is banned in Alabama, because you never turn your back on family.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Mr Carr 😆
Hahahaha brilliant 🤩
Vin diesel approves 😂😂
Hahahah
This was one of the "specials", it was one of my favourite episodes ever, taking place about 1 year after Katrina had destroyed New Orleans. They landed in Florida, bought $1000 cars instead of renting, and the idea was to drive to New Orleans and sell them to prove that buying could be cheaper than renting a car. The show had some great moments along the way, but the shocker was when they got to New Orleans and the devastation and destruction that was still there after a year. I hadn't even realised how much hadn't been cleaned up. They really shone a light on it for me.
My other favourite (absolute favourite episode) is the Vietnam Special. They did 1000 miles from the south to the north of Vietnam. I wont say any more to spoil anything, but it is one of the best episodes. Beautiful country, a lot of fun along the way and a fantastic ending.
The Vietnam Challenge was hysterical.
They were given shoe boxes of cash, but didn't realise the exchange rate was dire. They ended up with total junkers.
That's my favourite too Vietnam. The three of them on thos bloody bikes 😂 😆 they pick on May so much on that one. 😳
Yes!! Absolutely loved the Vietnam special 😂 need to watch it again
@@TheBeardedAdventurer Original broadcast version if you can get it, the dvd version or whatever is not as long and they replaced the music with royalty free sound alike, so like when they reveal the forfeit bike and it plays "Born in the USA" in the dvd version it's just the US national anthem, which also destroys a lot of the jokes. Also on all of the re-broadcast/dvd version they always replace the A-Team music, which bums me out :D
Yep, Vietnam was the best.
I find it absolutely hilarious that "the land of the free" and the only country in the world that allegedly has "free speech", is not actually a lover of "free speech". lol
The free speech thing is so that you can't be prosecuted for speech. If you walk up to someone, call them a name and they punch you. You can't hide behind "free speech". Here in England we recently had someone get arrested for retweeting a picture.
i mean its free speech on law but some people doesn't appreciate when you say ''wrong'' stuff in either way with not that good end to it
Free speech is about the government not persecuting you for speaking your mind, it has nothing to do with individuals or private business etc.
@@owainharris The "land of free" obviously doesn't consider free speech valuable enough to defend its citizen trying to use the right to free speech. Otherwise all these crazy people in the South would have been thrown to jail already.
This is why I gave up on politics, this is the side that talks about people not accepting their views
The Patagonia (Argentina) special is a must, their road trips are also worth a watch.
Yeah, the Argentina part is incredible :)
Sure is
I second the Argentina episode as they had an entire country gunning for them, and I might be wrong but didnt they (from memory) need a Police escort to protect them from the mobs searching for them and their controversal car?
Oh god yes that one was even worse lol
That one was actually genuinely scary.
5 DOLLARS FOR A GALLON OF GAS?!
It's the kind of price everybody in the world would be jealous of, even before the crisis
Makes me laugh when you see *certain* Americans complaining about $5 for a gallon of petrol. In the UK, we buy in litres. In the last 2 years it's been as high as £1.90 a litre. For a gallon that's £8.55.
Americans don't know lucky they have it. Even at an all-time-high, their petrol is still cheaper than ours by an insane margin.
@@ejl1000to be fair though they have to drive further between towns/cities, even between neighbourhoods. Maybe in the grand scheme it evens out
@@ejl1000I remember paying 2.15 a liter for gas once last year in Canada.
@@ejl1000do remember, though, mildly different engineering over here and different sorts of fuel.
Ooh, the top gear patagonia special... They got chased out of Argentina 😆 or Hammond vs Mexico 🤣
Agreed! the Patagonia special wins "most butt clenches in one show" award for me! It was just downright scary 😲
Who won the Falklands war again?
@@pistonburner6448 we did! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@shmupperfromhell it was, can't believe they're all still so salty 😬
Bolivia and Vietnam specials to
Top Gear was consistently the best thing on TV in the UK, and nothings topped it since. I still watch back old episodes and clips, it was just so good
Congratulations Alabama on proving them entirely right!
?
certified sweet home alabama moment
@@BugattiONE666 the joke is, Alabama is known for being very slow when it comes to changing
This proves them right
They haven't changed much from monkeys
Shame they no longer do TopGear....They were the best
The grand tour is as good as the original
they do The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime Video, which is essentially just Top Gear with a much larger budget
It was cancelled cause Clarkson hit someone in the BBC. 😅 not sure why they didn’t just replace him tbh
@@jamesswindley9599 It was not cancelled. They did replace him. Better, they did replace them, because the other 2 also walked away with him.
@@jamesswindley9599 It was never cancelled. They still make them. Just not with these three.
The Patagonia special is a two episode special from Argentina, where things go seriously wrong in the end, when the Argentinians go mental over the Falklands war, due to the unrelated date on Jeremy's licence plate.
They crossed the Kalahari and the Atacama deserts, drove across Mongolia in a car they had to build from a fully disassembled state dropped by parachute in the middle of nowhere, endured death road through Bolivia, almost had brain aneurysm while crossing the hights of the Andes starved of oxygen, drove on the mad roads of India deep into the Himalayans, crossed legitimate civil war areas in Myanmar, several tours across Africa, and many more things, but the only time they were legitimately in real danger, was in Alabama, when armed maniacs thought they could attack people for expressing an oppinion they didn't like that wasn't even meant seriously. Shows you what level of a shithole the South of the US is. They then even donated their cars to people affected by hurrican Catrina, and got sued, because the cars had some issues. Yeah, they bought them for a thousand dollars, and it was a fucking gift. If it was worth nothing more than its scrap metal value, that was more than you had before.
Also the first humans to drive to the fucking North Pole
I think they were also in quite a bit of danger in the Argentina caper...
They were in even more danger in Argentina. But I think your point is still spot on.
@@rdouthwaite at least nationalism and history were involved there, Alabama was just hatred and bigotry.
@@jonasgraumans2034 fair.
And I'll say it again: the two amphibious car challenges were unforgettable!
I linked them both in the comments of the previous TG reaction, so hopefully Boomer saw them.
@@TheThird1977 Well done, and thanks!
Yes, more Top gear reactions!!
I love seeing someone else enjoy for the first time it's like watching it fresh again!
You should react to the one where they turn their trucks/vans into boats 🤣
Watch the resovior/lake episode before the channel crossing one though!
Totally agree. This is why Boomer's channel is so appealing in my view.
"The rednecks arrived." I bet their names were Elwood, Walton, Wynn, Earnie, Earl, Dale, Doyle, Dan, Daryn, Dalton and Don.
I love how she calls the place a 'Hick Town' like she's proud of it haha
HICK
Noun NFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
'A person who lives in the country, regarded as being unintelligent or parochial.'
A bunch of people painting things on their cars obviously designed to piss off her and err neighbors, with film crews to obviously film your response? She's just saying out loud what they're implying. There's a long history of groups that are looked down upon taking terms of opprobrium that have been pushed upon them, and adopting them as identifying terms within the group - just to give the elite the finger.
As Clarkson said “only Americans are stupid enough to call a liquid… GAS!” It’s petrol, mate 😂
Honestly, 150 years ago there were many attempts to drive a carriage with an engine. Some tried it with gas others with electricity. Legally, the first patent for a motor vehicle with liquid hydrocarbon was granted to Carl Benz in 1886. His later companion (Mercedes-Benz) Gottfried Daimler tried it at the same time with gas. That's why there's confusion in many languages; even in German, people say "Gas geben" for going faster.
And honestly, Clarkson is an arrogant douche, which was also the reason for the end of the show with the Three.
@@keineahnung5466 good info, thanks. But it also means that they had 150 years to correct it to something logical :)
BBC is very extreme when it comes to political correctness, they hated Clarkson for ages. The trio moved to Amazon, and bbc had to fire 2200 workers due to lost of fund and the lost of 1.5 billion viewers around the world. The ratings of Top Gear dropped like a bomb. Clarkson is arrogant as Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsey (also Brits), but funny as hell
its short for gasoline which is a liquid
@@keineahnung5466 No, the real reason was his alcohol problem. While mightily sloshed he hit one of the producers, and this, and only this had been the final straw. His drinking problem was quickly ended, and amazon paid them a lot of money for the follow up "The Grand Tour". The TG-team consits actually of five people: the three presenters, a producer and his editor, and ALL 5 of them, as one man, marched over from the BBC to amazon. Now, that's what I call friends. And yes, Jezzer sometimes is a moron, haha!
@@redf7209exactly
Not sure anyone has explained, but the start of all of the challenges is always the same -- each is given £100 £1000 or some small sum to buy a car/truck etc and then normally modifies it to take on a massive long drive or other challenge type. So the cars are normally bad from the start, and then asked to do near impossible things -- like make it drive on land and also water.
I would bet my left nut that every one of those garage people would also be the 1st ones to scream about their 1st Amendment rights if the shoe were on the other foot!
Almost every top gear has a mad road trip like this in them absolutely fantastic show 💯 worth watching 🤘 great reaction 💯❤️🇬🇧🤘🤘
I'm glad you got some context on the show.... You'll enjoy the "specials" regardless of which one it is. Suggestion: Jeremy drives a Reliant Robin"
The security they used to travel with back in the days when they did stuff like this was a team of Ex SF. Generally they were armed and totally prepared to protect their principles but they weren't fully expecting this sort of reaction in the US.
I've never owned a car and don't drive but I always watched Top Gear with those 3 guys.
I miss them doing top gear this was an amazing special, thanks 🙏
My favourite TV show of all time. The best Sunday watching. Such an incredible trio!
Ya could do the Top Gear Car Boat Challenge next?
Brilliant reaction video as always. Would love you to watch you react to a full episode, as only seeing small parts doesn’t give you the full story of whats going on. There was a lot more good content from that one episode as well as many many others. It was a hugely successful show.
Awww this episode was hilarious. All of the top gear specials are brilliant to be fair.
The thing with these TG youtube videos is that they don't have the full segments. By all means keep reviewing them but I can only suggest you find somewhere where you can stream full episodes.
The car boat is great. They built boats from cars and tried to reach France.
YES you have to watch that Boomer
Woah woah
Remember they tried boating across the reservoir first! Everything in order!
@@robmartin525 Good point! Rob please link them I'm a bit busy
@@tbrowniscool
Oh I see, Rob's the village donkey now!
czcams.com/video/nl3bsL7Nbnk/video.html&ab_channel=TopGear
:P
Theres probably some super cuts or their arctic roadtrip, that one is 100% worth watching in full if you can find somewhere
Props to you for recognising Vangelis and that great music from 1492. Not something I would expect too many would know. Great job.
I love Vangelis
Old Top Gear challenge episodes are really good. There's a few DVD boxsets of them available on Amazon (hopefully available for you in the states). We used to binge on them.
For the Patagonia one - please remember the war between Argentina and the UK over the Falklands was in 1982 - then when watching take note of the license plate (It might not be as obvious what the issue is to those that are unaware of this)
To be more specific…..The licence plate on the Porsche 944
@@amnril*928
Love that you're loving old Top Gear. For years, it was the best thing on television. Every sunday most of the country tuned in to 3 well spoken morons doing stupid things for us. This one had us genuinely concerned for their safety as did the Argentina special
Classic glad you did this one
I was lucky enough to go see an episode filmed - what you see on the tv is NOTHING compared to what goes on at the recordings! It's utter filth and I loved it 🤣
Hello 👋 from Scotland 🏴 lovin the channel 👍 Top Gear pure class
Top Gear HoverVan was for me the funniest stunt they did and I very near died laughing at that one
Hey KB, your channel keeps getting better and better, I'm now subscribed !
Re- Top Gear all their "specials" merit viewing but my personal favourites are Vietnam, and Source of the Nile.
Love that. Great reaction. Got to do Argentina next.
Agree. That was an even hairier ride!
In the UK at the moment it works out as $10.43 a gallon for diesel (@ £1.90 per litre) so don't complain!
On the radio they said that the guys from the gas station tore past them on the highway. So they assumed that the guys drove ahead to prepare something up ahead, like an ambush or something very unpleasant.
That's why they realized they need to get off the road immediately to get the writing off the cars.
Not as bad as Argentina 😉
@@mcarter9839 Nothing is ever as bad as Argentina. Argentina is always the worst.
Those specials are great. Try a few more. There's two which spring to my mind. The one when they drive to the north pole and my favorite where they drive from the amazon rainforest over the Andes. Superb and scary fun.
Greatest Toyota Hilux commercial of all time
Top gear tries to kill a 4x4 Truck. You will be Amazed 🤣👍
This was a great episode of Top Gear!!!!
Watch more TG your highness. You don't have to be into cars. My late mum cried with laughter at some of their antics. My uncle from OR (I have 4 cousins in the States, so with all their offspring, there is more of my blood in the USA, which I'm quite proud of), laughed his head off when he visited the UK and watched it. 😀
I still find it mad that the top gear team drove right across the middle east and through war zones and they still say there trip to Alabama was one of there more terrifying moments in making top gear.
'Bolivia's dearh road' is well worth a watch, the agentinia video too.
The specials were all great, and worth a watch . My favourite is the Vietnam special lol
Thank you... the last one was snippets glad you got to watch a fuller ep.... the one I mentioned with shot guns was South Africa Botswana I think... they also have done
THAILAND MY 😍
Middle East, china, Australia. They did the European race circuits have a race from London to Scotland and back in a day... raced tractors around a mud feilds and army tanks. THEY ONCE GOT A SMART CAR INTO THE LIFT AT THE BBC studios and drove it around for the day. Lol please do get into it.... it wasn't just a car show for the boys. Xx
Top Gear - the Aquatic Cars, Winter Olympics, Toyota Hilux Destruction, Football in Cars, Aquatic Cars Part 2, Race to Monaco and many more. Only from the Clarkson, Hammond, May years 😊
This was the pinnacle of Top Gear. They did some great special episodes like this US one, the Vietnam special and Bolivia special. Check out the Vietnam special next if you've not already seen it.
My favourite bit of this episode was the Big Stig at the Race Track and almost ending up in the swamp
Has to be the Argentina episode when they got chased out of the country . I think there is part one and two on CZcams... Top Gear crew escapes Argentina.
The top gear caravan holiday! Underrated
I love your shows xx
Bruh 007 N64 is a must. There is no contest when Goldeneye is a option.
top gear was so brilliant as its like 3 mates having a laff and driving anything from Ferraris to baggage trolleys
Their specials are pretty good, even if a bit long for youtube. Also may I suggest looking into The Grand Tour as well, which has those 3 from top gear. There's a whole thing about that too.
I loved this Special. Those boys were braver than I’d be….
"20 military time"...... that would be 20.00 (20 hundred hours) to us....There are so many Top Gear Challenges/Specials and every one of them is worth watching. Its hard to suggest one for you to react to, because every time I think of one another comes to mind that's just as good. Best thing you can do is react to them all I reckon
I am a Brit, but my Brazilian-American gf is from Tuscaloosa, AL. She is currently serving in the USAF as a Staff Sergeant, in TX
The Vietnam Special is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I watch it often lol!
A great couple to watch are the Vietnam and Bolivia specials, both excellent episodes or if you can find it, the trio crossing the English Channel to France in boats made out of cars!! 👌🏻
Great reaction .😂😂 ,You need to watch Clarkson's farm series .😂😂
For reference at 7:17 this episode was filmed just after Katrina in 2005 if memory serves the challenge was to buy a car for a 1000 dollars or something, then sell the car in New Orleans but in the end the cars were given away.
Enjoying your content in London.
Don't go to Alabama folks if you've got a parting in your fringe.
You'll be mistaken for a local.
They've done some amazing and hilarious things over the years. People have mentioned the Argentina trip - which became as scary as Alabama... but for something equally ridiculous and with fewer angry locals, try their attempt to drive across the English Channel, or turning an old 3-wheeler car into a space shuttle.
As Brit who lived in Alabama for 12 years I can tell you there are some weird 'out dated' attitudes down there . I found it best not to get involved!
Good you're a guest....
@@unitedkingdomoffiveeyes9765 Guests can hold opinions - it's just not polite to express them.
Conservative states
It's good to be a conservative
But that's not one of the things you should conserve
About time you watched this 👍🤓🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I can't remember if it were Top Gear or the Grand tour, but their Thailand special was amazing funny!
Top Gear are your best reactions I LOVE IT 😂😂😂😂
You've got to see the «top gear bolivia special». Brilliant. Hilarious. Dangerous.
If you can get your hands on top gear DVD's or watch it any other way, i do recommend watching it. The best part wasn't the cars but the banter between these three, and all the silly things that they would do like challenges . The big reason why top gear was so good was due to clarkson, hammond and may.
My personal favourite Top Gear special is the Vietnam special. Well worth watching although the Patagonia special is also excellent.
Yeah, I loved the Vietnam special too.
The specials were the best!! America, Argentina, Australia and artic were hilarious
"Jesus had 2 dads & he turned out fine".
Yeeee Haaaaaw.
Hilarious.
They had plenty of other challenges but you gotta see the patagonia trip and crazy argentinians.
Thats all i'll say.
Not the only time Jeremy was "running for the border". The Argentina episode springs to mind
The Argentina incident was epic lol made this look like child's play
Side note: its a hard 'g' in Vangelis as in 'goat'. Give El Greco by Vangelis a listen. Very spooky.
Your reaction to HILARY FOR PRESIDENT got me in hysterics 😅😅😅
Awesome pal from Morecambe northwest England mate 👍 respect ✌️ 🏴🇺🇸👍
Top Gear was the best show on TV when these three guys and The Stig were on. I always looked forward to the "Some say" joke about the Stig.
I believe there are 32 series of top gear and 4 series of the grand tour for you to watch all full of car insanity and mayhem
All the Top Gear and Grand Tour road trips to the USA are always the best.
Yep the 1492 Conquest of Paradise album is one of my favourites.
Oh gosh, you must be so proud of your country, the risk of death by expressing a view that isn’t shared by others. This would never happen in the UK. Possibly Russia or China maybe
The 'home made convertibles' episode where they somehow manage to set fire to a car wash.. Quality..
$5 per US gallon is about £1 a litre, which is what it was for a long time here, now it's around £1.80 a litre.
It made me laugh, if they had run for the border with the slogans still on their cars they would have still been in the South 😂
You should watch the other bit from the same episode with the cow. That's nuts.
The 'Vietnam' Road Trip is essential viewing, and great fun.
I actually wrote to producer, Andy Wilman about doing a 'Christmas Special' doing my job(2000 mile harvest), but sadly never got a response as he probably didn't see the comedy in it...I was wanting to see what the 3 amigos would be like in 3 x semi trucks with either a 53' grain trailer or a combine harvester on the back...the CDL medical would be hilarious, where you get your testicles felt(to see if they're large enough for the job)! :)
There are so many classic Top Gear episodes but I would start with the Specials: the Polar special, Vietnam, Botswana, Burma, Middle East and just too many more to type.
This is a truly iconic moment in British TV history
And also what stopped the US from classing it as "documentary" to "entertainment"
Mate you should watch, top gear crew escape Argentina, part one and part 2, they are under 5 minutes each pal
you've got to watch them getting chased out of Argentina its mental
Now you see the lead ups to the clips before. It was daring each other and fun! A lot is lost in just a sentence from a clip.
