Being German I can do ze German accent as well, but yes, Jeremy just does it so well with the mixture of German words with accent and English - it's just the perfect mix. I could probably do something similar but then again, I've lived in the UK for over a decade so I know both sides.
There's one more in that episode where the Top Gear team competes with a group of German motorists where Jeremy said along the lines of "They want us to find a place to do the competition, and I suggested the skies above the English channel"
I am German and I find the trios' Germany jokes totally hilarious and extremely funny. Why would I feel offended? Instead I'm happy they mention my country at all and they do it in a truly (and innocent) way.
Oh come on we all know the story of how Viscount May of Hammersmith and 55 RAF or the Hammersmith Cockerspaniels assisted the Duke of Hammond during the North Africa campaign of 1943! They both ended up defeating the Commander of the Gorilla Regiment in El Alamein and he retreated back to Stuttgart to rearm. In 1944 the Viscount had a rematch with Reichsmarschall von Clarkson and he shot him down over Calais during the D-Day landings. The Viscount May won the Victoria Cross for getting 6 enemy kills with a damaged wing and managed to return home.
Before North Africa, the Viscount May was going to lead “Operation Pillock,”where a bunch of Lancaster Bombers would bomb the Nurburgring. But, unfortunately, the plan was shelved and the Viscount May was sent to North Africa.
"You can't make jokes like that you'll offend someone!" What? Like Grandpa Adi from Argentina? Last time I checked we were all quite happy about mocking actual Nazis.
Well... In fact, with the death of the queen, leaderership of the German royal house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ended. But since the line is always passed on from the male side, thanks to Prince Philip, the German house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg is now the princely line that continues to lead England. And that for at least the next 3 kings. Just as Queen Victoria always wanted...
This is a perfect example of why the British version of Top Gear was exceptional, and the American version stunk (I’m American, by the way). This kind of clever, funny humor would have never been acceptable to an American audience, let alone an American production company.
To be fair... The frogs tried to have a good time in Germany in 1939. But they stopped, a few miles behind the borders and left after a while, without partyin'. So we had to make a visit to them, a year later. Remember... We didn't finish the tour of 1914... And there was a need for a 2nd leg...

Why is it we aren't allowed to make jokes like this anymore? Are we really worried about making fun of actual Nazis? Are we worried we'll offend Opa Adi in Argentina?
No, the problem with making jokes about fascists/Nazis/Hitler is not because you'll offend fascists. On the contrary, that would normally be encouraged, but the problem is you might say a word that would trigger a sensitive leftist useful idiot. Meanwhile, you're still not allowed to say bad things about Stalin. Or the Japanese.

He actually said that he suggested the skies over southern England
They came prepared with Spitfires...
That could work - if they brought in some Polish ringers.

I love that Jeremy denies calling bus drivers nazis, when it sounds like something he would say
Well he didn't
I am dying over the correction lmao
Pretty sure it's James that actually said that during the Cross London race lol
Well, he didn’t. He said they were little Hitlers and murderers!
it is but i dont recall if he ever directly said it- now, he did commonly call them murderers/hitlers for obvious reasons

In britain they are
The French Holiday started in May 1940 when the landed forces went through Sedan (again, like 1870) sneakily by-passing the Maginot Line.

Because Hammond, being smarter than he acts, knew that May had messed up since Germany had actually invaded France in 1940. ;)
I feel like this should’ve been much longer than 2 minutes
I agree. It could have been two hours......
Maybe they just collected the nicest of the jokes

Absolutely side splitting. They wouldn't be allowed to joke like that today. Such a shame.
Sometimes they actually sound like Monty Python.
Some people probably will

Laugh? I almost did.
