"weird world we live in, innit?"
"Weirdest world in the world."
Jeremy's genius scares me sometimes
To give some context to the "I said the condor was the largest flying bird in the world" bit - this was following the Pategonia Special, mostly filmed in Chile and Argentina. The Argentina part especially caused a major scandal when Falkland War vets at their end destination of Ushuaia (where they were meant to play car football) accused Top Gear, Clarkson in-particular, of trying to insult Argentina with a car licence plate that they claimed referenced the 1982 Falklands War (which Argentina lost).
They, and the crew, ended up by violently chased out of Argentina by a growing mob, with the convoy left badly damaged and them having to abandon the cars the trio had used, eventually escaping over the border into Chile. For once, despite complaints from the Argentinians, the BBC actually backed Top Gear, refused to apologise, and throughout the final series of the original trio they made numerous pro-Chile references, and when Margo Robbie and Will Smith were on as guests and asked Clarkson what was wrong with Argentina he replied "every-f***ing-thing".
It's worth watching if you've not see the full thing, particularly how they started the trip at a Argentinian Nazi War Criminal Haven (Bariloche). That said I would say their Vietnam Special might be a more interesting watch as an American, as it's on bikes (which Clarkson hates) and they do reference the war quite a lot.
The Margot Robbie/Will Smith 'Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car' segment is priceless...
Yeah, I spotted several references to Chile, like the Chilean flag on the mugs they used, or the lapel badges at one episode...
I am sure that Alabama is pleased that Argentina also ran the Clarkson era Top Gear out of town
Argentina started a war they couldn't win over land that never belonged to them.
He is pulling your leg, that is in Scotland but pretending near London so people did not think he was playing all the way up to Scotland or 500 miles of fun in the Ferrari!
To get a good feel for how funny Top Gear is, watch Jeremy drive the Reliant Robin.
Or the 3 of them building the Hoovervan or the electric car (can't remember what they named it).
The news segments on Top Gear was always gold. It was just banter all the time.
You’re right it is Scotland, not Hertfordshire, but there are parts of England that look like that, check out the Lake District, Peak District and North Yorkshire Moors and Dales
To tie in with your Partridge reaction you should check out series 1 of the Trip, where Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play fictional versions of themselves and drive around parts of northern England - visiting a different restaurant each episode and just bantering with each other.
Ah....the 40 miles from London...see....THIS is where I hate to say it, Americans will fall down the most. You've gotta stop taking what Brits say at face value. We're incredibly sarcastic, satirical, cynical and often quick witted, particularly to non-natives. We also enjoy vast historical rivalries between the different Counties and the 3 main British countries (yes, even Wales...although we don't talk about them)
The thing is you have to know what is true and not true to know it’s sarcastic. So not his fault.
The episode with the ambulances is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I nearly wet myself when they “delivered” the patients 😂
If people are moaning and complaining then you're clearly doing something right.
@@RAMBOIT.now im imagining hitler, putin and kim presenting a car show instead of their usual roles. Hitler would be clarkson, putin james may and kim hammond 😂
Time for the dictator in reasonably priced alternator 😂
Jeremy has done a show on his own in recent years called 'Clarkson's Farm' which is as the name suggested simply him running his own farm, but with hilarious consequences, I loved TopGear but have never been a huge fan of the Prime show, but Clarkson's Farm is very good. The challenges and Specials they did in Top Gear were superb though and well worth checking out, I think you'd get a real kick out off them
You should also check out Richard's "The Smallest Cog" show as well...if you can find a way to watch it where you are. 💯✌
Also, James May's show.
The first season is "Our man in Japan"
The second season is "Our man in Italy"
The road in Hertfordshire cracked me up, especially the bit where Jezza goes through a small Scottish village and claims it's Letchworth.
You’ll love the Top Gear Specials, they used to do them every Christmas
If you wanna watch one I’d suggest Middle East or Botswana Specials, there’s about 10 or 11 of them
Nice reaction man
Come on you GUNNERS!
Top Gear: Patagonia Special is the one to watch, a 2 part special were they are chased and hunted down by thousands of people from Argentina because of the number plate H982 FKL in reference to the 1982 Falklands war. They were lucky to get out alive.
It didn't hurt that the BBC realized that almost every single person who complained to them would invariably be tuning in to see what else would be outraging them.
There were a multitude of reasons why they were one of the top programs in the UK for as long as they were.
One of the top programs in the entire world, for a decent length of time, if I am not mistaken. ✌✌
So many years after its stopped people still are glued to the telly to watch its reruns
The albatross comments are because they got chased out of Argentina (literally), some Argentinians decided his number plate was a reference to the Falklands war, and there was riots and they got chased by guys in cars and rocks thrown at them. There was a big international thing made out of it and it was in all the newspapers.
People said he did it on purpose to piss them off (he hadn't).
Top Gear Specials a must. As said before by others. Brilliant and funny.
Its one of the things about Top Gear , the unholy trio really did not care about the complaints , everyone knew the sort of stuff they got up to so why were these people watching anyway ?
I think quite a few of the complaints were wind ups from fans . If you can get hold of a decent clip from a challenge it will be well worth it . Glad you enjoyed it .
The bit about inhaling the mayor of London is reference to when Boris Johnson was the mayor of London and he sold off half of the fire stations for a tidy profit.
If you can find it, their epic crossing of the English Channel in cars they converted to boats is a good one!
Clarkson is one of my favourite celebs because not only is he funny, but he May and Hammond think the same about political correctness as i do lol.
I grew up in Hertfordshire and never discovered that small chunk of beautiful rolling hillside road teleported from Scotland; but where I am now in Norwich there is a small town alleyway that leads directly to the California Long Beach ferris wheel by means of a Harry Potter hidden door, so I'm happy now.
They all have an agreement, that if any of them die they would briefly announce it and follow immediately with ' Anyway '.
You've got to do a episode.. maybe one of their specials, where they go abroad on crazy roads, routes and tasks 🔥
That road IS in Scotland!! That's the joke. Hertfordshire is London commuter country. So is Buckinghamshire.
Taking you own lunch to work is ironic given the big fall out was Clarkson moaning about the lack of hot food at a filming location
The scenery is in scotland 2:31 , if you look for the full piece on it he can be seen driving through pitlochry past Fishers hotel, my guess is the road in your clip is somewhere near glenshee
Top Gear at one point was the worlds most watched show.
always bugged me when they said 'you only care about expensive cars' its called 'top gear' not 'mediocre 3rd gear and go slow like may'
You should definitely check out some of the Top Gear specials. My two favourites are the Botswana and Vietnam special episodes
It was either the Patagonia or Argentine special (maybe they're the same thing) where Jezza accidentally stumbled on a local being a bit too friendly with a donkey...
Worth a watch and laugh.
they kept this attitude even after the whole offended movement started. I love them. They insulted everyone and was kiked out of countrys
You should watch some of the challenges they do. The Hovervan is epic, or the P45 (smallest car) or Amphibious Cars.
You can see that kind of countryside in the UK in places like the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District. That particular road looks like the Honister Pass (check out the videos of that road on youtube). It connects Keswick to Buttermere.
So refreshing. Just calling a pillock, a pillock. Nothing wrong with that. Enjoyed this with you. Xx
@KingBoomer today is one year since Sean Lock passed. I know how much you love him I would love to watch your reaction to “James Corden loses it over Sean Locks’s Michael Jackson Impression” it’s only a short video (less than 2 mins) but it’s so funny and I know you liked his other Michael Jackson jokes so I think you will enjoy it
This version of Top Gear with these 3 presenters, was the most watched TV show in the world. It was watched in 200 countries and had a weekly viewing figures of 350 million. The best of clips don't really work that well, you need to see the madness of what they get up when not sat talking like this
These shows are well worth watching. Some of those clips are 15 years old. There's loads of content to catch up on.
If you can check out the episode where they test a Ford Fiesta from the point of view of Royal Marines conducting an amphibious beach assault from naval landing craft. It’s hilarious
You need to watch clarkson hammond and may Morris marina complication
The Condor reference. He had said something on the previous show and was asked to apologise, he didnt, he just made up the Condor story
You have no idea. constant "controversy" in "Top Gear" with Clarkson was the start of the new show on Amazon called "The Grand Tour".
I think it's the most watched TV show in the world, or at least it's on TV in more countries than any other.. and for about 25 years. Huge show.
Every TV show should have a 10 minute segment at the end pertaining to the previous shows complaints and telling them to fuck off.
TV would be so much more fun.
It was not 14miles from London - it was a long way away!
Steve Hughes on TV, pop music and jobs
Or Live at the Apollo if you want a less sweary set
😁
I'm so glad Top Gear was around before cancel culture existed, or it never would have happened. It's one of my favourite shows of all time.
cancel culture is a term made up by rightwing conservative cry babies who don't understand the basics of free speech.
Do you remember a woman called Mary Whitehouse? Cancel culture in television has been around for decades.
it was literally offensive at the time - the main reason jeremy was eventually fired is that he was already on thin ice at the BBC.
One of the funniest Two Ronnies clips ever….you will definitely get this one!
I will say, lately, there are a lot of people - who would read the Daily Mail or the Express if they could read - who complain about people on TV not wearing poppies, and I don't mean on or around Remembrance Day (the 11th of November) or Remembrance Sunday (the Sunday nearest the 11th); we're talking complaints rolling in *before Hallowe'en*. Some people just love bitching about pointless bollocks.
The type who read the Guardian and Independent find offence in everything. Unless it is directed at straight, indigenous white Brits.
This was when top gear was at its best now a load of rubbish ever since these 3 left thank god for Grand tour 👏🏴
By the way, your guess was correct about the picture - it was in scotland ;) but as you understand, there are no apologies with jeremy clarkson 🤣
Just british banter at its best these three guys. The show was about cars but the more you watch it you realise, that it isnt at all.
2:26 oh no🤦🏻♂️😂😂 British sarcasm claims another victim😂
They challenged the German Top Gear presenters to see which had the best drivers, and they turned up in 3 RAF Spitfire fighters...They simply don't care who they offend🤣🤣
It's actually a perfect example of why you shouldn't watch top gear as a series of clips, theyre all taking out of
you might also try "Clarkson, Hammond and May Morris Marina Compilation" where some of their history with the Morris Marina can be seen.
If people don't like a show, they shouldn't tune in.
they are in fact still on the air, on amazon. after they got fired from the bbc, amazon offered them a new job to keep making the same show a couple days later.
Englishman here, that area that Clarkson incorrectly referred to as being in Hertfordshire is actually in Yorkshire in the North of England, just so you know, in an area called The North York Moors to be precise! :)
2:30 The reason why this funny is because Buckinghamshire is about 50 minutes (21 miles) from downtown central London. It stretches north westerly from London and gets hilly about 40 miles out from central London. So he wasn’t lying when he said it was 40 miles away.
It's a compilation of trolling the complainers'.
Loved watching these 3…if you don’t like it, don’t watch it…simple 😁
All of the complaints that Top Gear received were all childish and pointless.
Check out Clarkson Hammond and may caravan compilation . Newcastle united fan
You should check out one of their road trips. They’ve done several and they’re all hilarious.
You should watch Fonejacker here in the UK or Dirty Sanchez
You need to see the Patagonia special 😂😂
7:11 "weirdest world in the world" - Jeremy Clarkson
Please give Ant and Dec's Undercover with Jeremy Clarkson a go. The missus should appreciate it too.
Undercover is a segment on their show where Ant and Dec prank a celebrity. Loads available to peruse and maybe make a series of reactions!
We would get away with it today. All our comedians and even tv presenters who appear on all our multitude of panel shows still take this piss out of everyone, from the Queen to Boris to Trump and Putin! As well as the general public!
I highly recommend watching the entire run of Clarkson/Hammond/May Top Gear from start to finish in order...there is no doubt you would come to truly love the antics these three can get up to. Other than the three of them, only a very little bit of Top Gear content is worth much at all. 💯💯✌✌
I've actually been doing that this year (currently on s12); but I've found its necessary to fast forward through the actual car reviews, there's nothing particularly interesting about seeing a 20 year old car reviewed
@@adamcashin4021 I do see your point about the old car reviews...but sometimes, some of the funniest material is them describing the cars with colorful metaphors...both bad and good. LOL
And take a careful note of how much the attendance at the shows grew over the years. Towards the latter part of their history, tickets were sold out months in advance.
@@terrybyrne3988 Absolutely...tho I kind of enjoy some of the earlier shows when they interacted with the audience more...stuff with the Cool Wall, and things like that. 😁😁
Apart from sll the usual reasons for not smoking in a studio there's the fact that the Top Gear studio is a repurposed aircraft hangar on a country airfield with aviation fuel everywhere but every session in the break Jeremy lights up (back then)
Try and get some time to do him doing "I went on the internet today and found this" 😁
Top Gear is great, it's a British show about cars presented by journalisits, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. At it's peak the show used to get 350 million viewers per weekly episode. I really like the banter between the 3 of them, it got to a point where I can sit for hours just listening to what they had to say.
Jeremy, nickname the orangutan is a loud and very opinianated man
Richard, the hamster is actually the nicest of the 3, he's very American, or he tries to be
James, the spaniel is quite nerdy but in a likable way, he has sever OCD and his likes and dislikes aren't orthodox
Every week they have turns reviewing cars, talk about car related news and bring a celebrity to drive around their circuit to see which celeb is the fastest
But yeah, you can check the show out if you like and keep up the good work
Dude there are a couple of full episodes on youtube maybe react to one of them ?
Here's a funny story from England. Last month in the Devon village of 'Cockington' the locals elected a miniature Shetland pony called Patrick as it's Mayor!! ( I guess that says a lot about how we don't trust human idiots to run things! ) He drinks a pint or two of beer from a pint glass at the bar in the 'Drum Inn' pub in the village. The local council have now barred him from the pub!! There is talk of getting him elected as our new Prime Minister because of the 2 real asses that are currently up for the job! Lol.
OK, OK, I have questions..
1) Why is he barred from the pub?
2) Do you think he'd make a better PM than Larry the cat?
@@Ninja_Penguin OK, OK. I have answers..
1) Because he does massive shits in the beer garden, upsetting locals! 💩💩💩
2) Yes, because the shit only comes out of his arse, and not his mouth, and because his parties are a lot more fun than the Tory Party!
Please, please, please do the ran out of argentina 🙏
I am so pleased to see that you have now developed a good grasp of British humour,,,
This is still shown in the UK
Look for rhod gilbert and the award winning mince pie and his other show the cat that looked like Nicolas Lyndhurst. Audio only on CZcams but still worth it. The first time I watched his stand up I almost cracked all my ribs
return of Richard Hammond - genuinely emotional
The old adage “ wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire”
My favorite is people getting offended over offended people.
Its McScotland & not Buckinghamshire,love ya channel mate
He's joking about the road being in Herts, it's deffo Scotland!
The main reason Top Gear is off the air, at least with those three, is because a bunch of people got butt hurt over a couple license plates they had in Argentina that made fun of the war England spanked them in back in the 1980s. Well, that and Jeremy threatening a study employee.
boomer the mayor at the time was UK's most hated man Boris Johnson, basically Jeremy was saying if Johnson caught fire leave him just run
I actually think it may have been Ken Livingstone at the time, who Jeremy famously disliked. He actually quite liked Boris
You need to watch the Patagonia special
My fav episode was the caravan they set on fire.
Love these guys.
going to the north pole and having a gin and tonic while driving gots loads of complaints
The only thing you need to understand with the British, we'll make comments to wind people up and we don't care what people think, we'll reply back by taking the piss again if get a complaint 😂😂😂... Top gear is a perfect example
Hey KB, just checkout from these guys their "Top Gear Specials" and after they left the BBC their "Grand Tour" productions.
You'll die laughing 😂
Personal favourite was the Vietnam special.
Top Gear was absolutely brilliant with these three. Never bettered. And I love how un-PC they are.
Sabine Schmidt takes on J Clarkson in a van - unreal piece of driving
Nice reaction. If you get the chance have a look at Top Gears review of the Ford Fiesta. It's epic!
I miss them so much.😢
I watch Top Gear from season 1 thru 22 after watching 23 for 2 shows gave up on it.
You want to check out Ali G ,Bruno or Borat videos all played by Sasha Baron Cohen , Bruno talk show or Bruno fight scene is hilarious 👍
Jeremy Clarkson farm is really good
The apology about the largest bird was on the episode directly after their Argentina Special where they slightly angered the entire nation and almost got killed. The apology was a joke where instead of apologising for annoying the Argies, he just corrected a trivial mistake.
Yeah you need to watch that show it's nuts
Also the fact that the Top Gear crew were LITERALLY ASSAULTED FOR NO REASON and yet the Argies wanted an apology?! Surely it should be the other way around!
The joke about offending smokers is because all three of them smoked at the time
@@harrymillar4193 I’m pretty sure they wanted the apology because of that number plate.
It low-key created an international conflict
