Rimac took another jab at Hammond on the Concept Two/Nevera (production version). The fire extinguisher in the rear is held down with a leather strap that reads "In case of hill climb, extinguish fire"
I remember back when Richard came back from his big accident with the jet car how he asked that they never mention the accident on top gear. And it's nice to see how they were true mates, there's barely any clips from tg.
It's important to realize that all three of them are also the authors of the series. A lot of jokes are pre-written (Which is not a bad thing, very few people are always funny on the spot), and they will have discussions about them and which jokes are OK to make, especially about each other. So if there was anything that Hammond did not to go on air, he would have been able to object to it. That being said, both Jeremy and James were pretty worried about him after the crash and were affected by it, too, so I don't think they would have liked to really joke about it while it was still fresh on everyones minds. Jeremy even wrote a funny text message to Richards wife every day while Richard was in hospital, to keep her spirits up.
@@TetraDax Again, this are 3 relatable idiots who make you appreciate the fact that you also like to be idiots with your friends and jokes about stuffs once it pass. I had the same type of conversation with a friend about games and tech and does this sort of jokes about things we did long ago too (amost in the same manner Clarkson and May speak off. While His brother Reminds me to Hammond). In a way, they know what to talk and what to not talk about as well. Even some of their jokes, guests and skit are painful to watch in light of some events (like the time Amber Herd went there. Now day she is seen as a total bitch due what she does to Johnny Deep. Or how they joke about Hammond crashing due his tend to risk a lot before that happen).
Sorry to rain on your little parade, but I’d just like to point out that the bit where Jeremy goes “‘You have a blowout on the motorway..’ one for you here Hammond.” That was 3 episodes/weeks after they promised “Never again”. It would’ve been 2 but one episode was the American Driving Holiday Special
I can see why the insurers of such an expensive and powerful car wanted James May over Hammond, at least Captain Slow would've returned the car in one piece
There is another moment, I cannot remember what they were doing, but Hammond was driving round a track and Jeremy turned to James and told him “His wife (Mindy) called me this morning and told me if he (Hammond) crashes again, she is divorcing him!” 😂😂
My favorite joke is the one where he rolled the van. If he is dead and you fancy a job at Top Gear why not write us at "I'm better than Richard Hammond was..."
@@ammarisrar2005 They made eight Concept 1s, as they mentioned in the video. One of them was Hammond'd and will not grow old because it died in a fire, but the other seven will.
4:03 Richard : "...that was called Concept One. And they made 8 of those actually" James : "How many left ?" Richard : "Seven. Shut Up" Jeremy : "What happen to the other one ?" Love that "conversation".
It is ironic that in one of the early episodes of TG Hammond explained with a toy car what the differences are between crashing due to oversteer and understeer. Than he continously shows that neither has to occur to crash...
Clarkson and May can be brutal when roasting Hammond, but give the little guy mad props, he takes the abuse like a champ, and keeps on laughing along with them. These three guys genuinely love one another(in a platonic way, obviously), and it shows.
A big part of why I enjoy watching them is how much their dynamic reminds me of my three brothers, they just take the absolute piss out of each other but it’s all from a place of love
From my understanding, most of the crash-related jokes are planned in advance and run past Hammond before filming, to make sure he's okay with them. That was definitely their off-camera agreement on Top Gear, and I doubt they would've changed that for TGT.
Clarkson: "Can we never ever mention the jet dragster crash again?" Also Clarkson: (references it dozens of times, along with the other two referencing it)
If I recall, on Top Gear, when he came back, they were like "And he made sure to tell us he didn't want us making a big deal of his recovery or him coming back or anything else..." and then the camera panned to a bunch of dancers and a red carpet and all the rest for his return. XD
Don’t they pre write the bits they do? And I’m pretty sure Hammond was fine with it, if not he would’ve spoken up and asked Jezza to not mention the accident
Favorite one is where Hamster sort of roast himself in a moment of self-awareness when he rolled into that ditch in Mongolia and you hear him yell reassuringly, "It's alright. I'm used to this!" 😂 He's got a sense of humor about himself and he owns it. Really, though, at the end of the day, we're all just glad the man is still alive.
@@JetFalcon710 I remember reading in an article about the dragster crash that when it rolled, Hammond's head came less than an inch away from the ground under the roll bar. If he had been even an inch taller, he wouldn't be here at all.
@@peytonmac1131 Right, I remember hearing about that at one point. He may be a bit salty about being short, but he can't complain that much because it did save his ass
Still amazing for a non-proffesional driver with the amount of major accidents to his name he's still alive at his age. Guess that the advantage for being a hamster.
They redid the "bet" with the Supercar trifecta (918, P1, LaFerrari), and as last time the P1 lost. The terms of the bet, in order to avoid the BBC knocking, was changed from changing Jeremy's name, to blowing up his house.
There are some people who find the constantly recurring phrases and references boring. For me, however, they are an important part of it without a doubt.
I love it when Hammond is driving into a corner with the home made tyre covers on his car and Jezza looks around and says ‘where can the helicopter land?’. Priceless.
I like how Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are like those kids who always argue around the house while James May calm them down like a parent always do 😂
1:45 I love the fact that this actually happened once IRL; Murray Walker (RIP) actually mentioned Toyota (a big sticker behind a Toyota car) when a Toyota rolled over in a BTCC race (Just look it up somewhere on CZcams)
I'm glad they're all so close to constantly mock each other for this, it just makes me so anxious that i can hardly stand it but a lot of good moments do come from this
Here’s a question from the test. “You have a blowout on the motorway....” One for you here Hammond, “You have a............” Me: Dead. It only took 3 episodes before he went back on his word never to mention it again.
You forget the time when Hammond test a Porsche Cayenne, he crash into camera car on opposite direction. The other one when he test the Ferrari F360, he spun the Ferrari. May made fun of it said that's why it's called F360 because you went "F*******kk" and then do a 360...😂😂
Fave Hammond crash: van challenge, when he rolled the Suzuki super-carry aka Bedford rascal. You can see a good bit of space underneath the rascal as it flipped over. He didn't merely make it roll off its wheels. He made it flip into the air.
Remember at the end of Series 9 Episode 1 when Hammond asked (and they all agreed) that they'll never mention his crash on the show again? 1:17 well, it took Jezza two episodes before he did 😆
I remember him being a little weird after the first one. The blow to his head definitely had permanent effects. And the shows stylists really struggled with his hair after the surgery rearranged his crown. He had really mad hair for a bit.
"Here comes Richard Hammond! Oh, no! He's gone off! Pepsi." James's delivery of that was golden.
Haha 😂
IMMEDIATELY After that part... There was a "schweppes" advertisement on my CZcams 😂 "he's gone off!! schweppes!" i felt that.

And they just removed the conversation in new season. I don't like cars at all. I just want to listen these guys to chat.
@@chrisgames5201 And on top of that, there's a conference room at Rimac HQ named after Richard Hammond.
@@VigilanteAgumon I am entering hammond (the room)
"Hello Mindy, yes he's done it again." And Hammond doing the 'yeah sounds about right' nod
I love the way the cameraman kept focusing on the damage Richard did to the Ferrari when he hit the bollard.
Or the editor kept cropping the footage😂
It is ironic that in one of the early episodes of TG Hammond explained with a toy car what the differences are between crashing due to oversteer and understeer. Than he continously shows that neither has to occur to crash...
But how is that the exact opposite of what he said? That is not irony.
I love how when he says "Its not me thats on fire" and you can hear the brief pause before he adds "this time" at the end
Because he realized that if he didn't hurry up and say it, James probably would.
After listening carefully, I'm pretty sure he says 'It's not me that's on fire at this time!" I could be wrong though.
Clarkson and May can be brutal when roasting Hammond, but give the little guy mad props, he takes the abuse like a champ, and keeps on laughing along with them.
These three guys genuinely love one another(in a platonic way, obviously), and it shows.
a platonic way as far as WE know lol
That's because they are actual friends. Not just coworkers.

They didn't mention it in that series/season
he didn't say when!

He wouldn’t crash so much if he could see over the steering wheel, he just needs a booster seat
Still amazing for a non-proffesional driver with the amount of major accidents to his name he's still alive at his age.
Guess that the advantage for being a hamster.
For his first major crash (dragster), his height is a major contributor to his survival. His head is just below the rollover cage.
Hammond's crash must be the only running joke that has crossed over from Top Gear to Grand Tour.
Aside from the BBC
Which crash of his many hundreds are you referring to?
They redid the "bet" with the Supercar trifecta (918, P1, LaFerrari), and as last time the P1 lost. The terms of the bet, in order to avoid the BBC knocking, was changed from changing Jeremy's name, to blowing up his house.
The fact Hamster crashes only in curves, makes him the perfect American.
Crashed a jet powered drag car too
@@HowIsTheCraic Also an American thing to do.
Not only curves he crashes in straights too
Jeremy : we don't crash
Also jeremy : well, two of us don't
I like how May apologises to Hammond after the crude joke he makes at 2:42, these guys are true friends and really know each others boundaries XD
He even crashed his bike while in lockdown
And riding on the tram tracks. Hell, even he managed to sink a non-speeding boat, give him time and he'll crash the British economy.
He can't go anywhere without crashing
At least he's consistent. 😛
I love how Rimac even got in on the "Hammond can't drive" joke
There are some people who find the constantly recurring phrases and references boring. For me, however, they are an important part of it without a doubt.
Don't forget this is spread over the course of many years
2:40 is probably my favourite thing that James May have ever said. The delivery is excellent.
Best one for me was James May ‘Sponsorships on the bottom of Richard Hammonds car’ James Mays delivery is always on point.
"oh no Richard's gone off! Pepsi"
6:30 Love that sincerity in his voice!😂
James: goes slow
Richard: crashes
Jeremy: doesn't acknowledge when things are horribly broken and just keeps driving
0:40 later that clip "I've seen you multitask while driving"
"You can't talk about that in television"
Compilation: Sexual innuendos
Then Richard Hammond arrived, rolling down the mountain side
Pepsi
I love it when Hammond is driving into a corner with the home made tyre covers on his car and Jezza looks around and says ‘where can the helicopter land?’. Priceless.
1:17 this was the episode after Hammond came back from his first big crash in the jet car. His front right tyre blew out.
2:41James May: Well I can why you were disappointed Hammond, you put an electric race car on a race track, next you know you crashed.
That was savage, and I suspect not in the original script.
That's what I call a Champions League burn......
I like how Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are like those kids who always argue around the house while James May calm them down like a parent always do 😂
The upside down car photo is the first thing in many many moons that made me spit my beer from my nose....
Richard is a damn good sport considering he nearly died twice. The Vampire and Rimac were both really serious accidents.
Let's face it, Hammond is adorable.
It feels a bit weird calling him cute since he's 52, but yeah, he's cute
I believe Hammond and May aged like a fine wine
Detroit:
Clarkson: He's gone off!!
May: Again
Clarkson *breaks character with laughter*

1:39 my favorite joke of all time.
when hammond said "please kill me", i felt that
1:45 I love the fact that this actually happened once IRL; Murray Walker (RIP) actually mentioned Toyota (a big sticker behind a Toyota car) when a Toyota rolled over in a BTCC race (Just look it up somewhere on CZcams)
It’ll be a sad day for humanity when these three inevitably film their final program together.
I really want to watch the video but Hammond crashed my CZcams account...
I'm glad they're all so close to constantly mock each other for this, it just makes me so anxious that i can hardly stand it but a lot of good moments do come from this
Can we just make clear, that Hammond only had so many accidents, because he can’t really look over the steering wheel.
10:18 ima be honest that Watch could be used as an add for the manufacturer, because the fact it’s still working is amazing
Just as well Hammond has a good sense of humour about it all.
I don't know which is more brutal, Hammond's crashes or the jokes about his crashes.
I love it how Hammond just takes it when Clarkson and May joke about his crashes
11:15 the world needs more humor like that
"Now I know what its like to be Richard Hammond." Thats too funny
Richard Hammond is a racing driver, he just goes for gaps no one else can see.
Yeah, maybe there's a good reason no one else can see them 🤔
Here’s a question from the test.
“You have a blowout on the motorway....” One for you here Hammond, “You have a............”
Me: Dead.
It only took 3 episodes before he went back on his word never to mention it again.
You forget the time when Hammond test a Porsche Cayenne, he crash into camera car on opposite direction. The other one when he test the Ferrari F360, he spun the Ferrari. May made fun of it said that's why it's called F360 because you went "F*******kk" and then do a 360...😂😂
This cannot possibly be all of the jokes
Finally, the most cursed but enjoyable video collection has been published.
Have we forgotten the number of time Jezza rolled the Robin Reliant.
Yes but even The Stig rolled it
"It not me thats on fire this time !!!"
"Block of flats on the right!" 😂
Here they are, folks - the antithesis of the Three Wise Men.
You're just one, chap. You can be multiple genders, but not multiple people.
Richard's insurance rates must be through the roof
They absolutely violated hammond with these gifts 💀
Old racing adage: “If you never crash, you’re not trying hard enough”. ( I think that’s what it was. )
Fave Hammond crash: van challenge, when he rolled the Suzuki super-carry aka Bedford rascal. You can see a good bit of space underneath the rascal as it flipped over. He didn't merely make it roll off its wheels. He made it flip into the air.
Sort of overdid it a bit, but quite impressive to watch.
He still has whiplash from that accident.
I thought this would be much longer, considering 80% of the time Hammonds cars are upside down
And here comes Richard Hammond, oh no he’s gone off. Pepsi! 🤣
You missed one, which is Richard saying on the phone to the insurance companies in the teenage challenge “nope. No accidents in the last 4 years. 😬”
These are all so amazing! Thank you!!
This never gets old
when i got hit by a car this is a exactly how my mates treated me. it was 5 seconds of "are you alright" and then straight to the jokes
“Block of flats on the right” 😂
Very poetic of you to put the last segments of clips at the end. Gifts and the alarm clock, great video
Missed one in the Colombia special
"Even though Hammond isn't at all accident prone..."
There was something special about watching Top Gear on BBC Three. I don't know what it is but man those were the good days
9:46 "this is a bad place"
4:06 Hammond: They only made 8 of those
May: How many are left?
Hammond: 7 SHUT UP!
This is a great video
great video :) liking the use of grand tour clips as ive not seen much of it :)
Mustang. This is a superb compilation. Bravo 👌
No car show will ever top the original top 3 ❤️
Richard Hammond, the Unkillable.
I love how Clarkson says "Not just any ruined watch! It's YOUR ruined watch"
Remember at the end of Series 9 Episode 1 when Hammond asked (and they all agreed) that they'll never mention his crash on the show again?
1:17 well, it took Jezza two episodes before he did 😆
Oh that last sketch! Laughing so hard that I got chest pains and started coughing! 🤣🤣🤣🏎
Honestly it is funny just how often Hammond is the butt of jokes and how well he takes it.
As I watch this the old Frankie Boyle joke on MTW about Hammond pops into my head and I can’t stop laughing.
Boyle: "That should be the anti-speeding advert: It should be footage of Richard Hammond trying to remember his own wedding day."
♥️ Great video ! The video is a masterpiece ♥️
The alarm clock bit had me roaring with laughter
During loch down Jeremy forgot something. Richard didn't crash at willow springs on late late James corden show.
T'is true
hearing how many times jeremy mentions hammonds trousers getting cut of, he must have been impressed by the sight
I guess so, it's not every day you see your colleague in his underwear
Clarkson spawned a lot of bad fan fiction
I just love this.
"They only made 8 of those". 'How many are left?'. "Seven. Shutup!" . That cracked me up!😂🤣😂🤣
Magnificent
6:02 respect for that self burn
James May gave the most practical gift for Hammond, a velcro pants.
The presents bit at the end was HILARIOUS
Hamster is such a good sport about it all. Well done you! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember him being a little weird after the first one.
The blow to his head definitely had permanent effects.
And the shows stylists really struggled with his hair after the surgery rearranged his crown.
He had really mad hair for a bit.
What made these three great is they can take a joke without being offended. Something that's rare in the "work environment" these days.
Oh my god you actually did it
