- On March 17th, 2014, Jeremy Clarkson from BBC's Top Gear UK appeared on the Michael McIntyre Chat Show. One of the bits was a rather funny ramble about some of the words Americans use.

I’m American and when he said “they call a liquid gas” I fell out laughing
ok
@@WakaWaka2468 Mad😂
well it’s short for gasoline
@@X-cl1rj Nope, it's the other way around (from wiki)
The term "gasoline" was first used in North America in 1864.[9] The word is a derivation from the word "gas" and the chemical suffixes "-ol" and "-ine" or "-ene".[10]
Little does Jeremy know that gas is short for Gasoline
It's funny because it's true!

"They call a liquid gas"
The most cold blooded British humor I've ever heard 😂
The legit King of the UK !

45% Americans saying "so true"
45% Americans who can't take a joke

As an American I can’t help but laugh at their comments, only thing is they’ve started to change the walk and don’t walk to a man walking for go and a hand gesture to stop LOL
That’s a bit daft like init
yo neymar sunny innit
it's always been a hand and a person walking
@Zachariah Rizk and all the stuff in my car are symbols
@@pipes_guns_slipknot u dont live in america then. Theyre lying to u
As an American there is no way how you can not laugh at this. It’s hilarious gotta love Clarkson
Also, they call "football" a sport where you primarily use your hands to move the ball.
It's called football because it was a peasant sport played on feet, unlike gentlemen sports that were played on a horse.
Therefore, handball is played by walking on hands!
"They call a liquid gas" this made my day 🤣
I want Jeremy Clarkson hosting a talk show in the next GTA. GTA is known for its funny satire and parody on American culture, Jeremy will be a good fit lmao
I often say “fuel” and still get funny looks (I am American). Even though, yes, most of us are aware that gas is short for gasoline.
gasoline is actually long for gas - mind fuck
@@MrJamesyboi121 petrol is what we say in the uk.. short for petroleum
We say petrol in NZ
@@davidkersey2414 except petrol doesn't refer to petroleum (which is the same as crude oil), but a substance made by processing petroleum. On the other hand, gas and gasoline both refer to that same substance
No you don’t
I’m American and oh my god!? Why do we call petroleum (a liquid) gas? Why did I go to school again 😂
These are all jokes and i'm happy to see you having fun with em lol, some americans got offended easily by watching this
I thinks its a shorter word to gasoline but still
It's short for gasoline, but I get your point. I have tried to just say gasoline every time but am so used to just saying gas that it is hard.
@@TeaInTheMorning-we2kh Gasoline was first used in north america in the 1800's, so it can't be impossible.
It's like a coke situation, basically the biggest supplier of petrol in the us was a company called gasoline, and as it was the most popular brand all petrol would be referred to as gasoline (shortened to gas) much like people call any cola drink "coke" thanks to coca cola
They call a liquid gas
Anyone here after watching KSI's video?
Yessss
A.R Gaming yupppp
YESSS😂😂😂
Me XDDD
Yep
As a child I lived in the States for a couple of years (originally from 'anywhere else in the world'). When I eventually started to take Chemistry classes (back home), the fact that Americans call petroleum 'gas' confused the hell out of me. (@Americans who cannot take a joke: Obviously I (and Jeremy) know that it is short for gasoline (possibly derived from a brand name), but you still call it gas).
Petroleum is crude oil. Gasoline is one of the many fuels produced from Petroleum. You don't burn crude oil in your car.
@@abergethirty nope
@@howdo861 Sorta yes
@@abergethirty you also dont burn gas in your car

I love how serious Jeremy actually was about the stupidity of statians
Statians 😂
@@skylergardner2792 what a statian comment!! You're the one complaining for an actual word. Go and buy a cream for that burning butt and pay your social security system $800 for it.
@@skylergardner2792 The point is, they are right. They are from America, you are from America, Canadians are from America, everyone from the goddamn continents are just as American as you. It's not that calling THEM *American* would be indescriptive, its that calling YOU *American* is indescriptive. Why can't you just go around telling people you are from California(for example), so you can actually show you are proud of your country, not the Union it just so happens to be in?
It's as if France decided they would be called Europeans, and noone else could, because they came up with it first.
Well, but, honestly, crying about anything even remotely resembling patriotic values is such a statian thing to do lmao.
@@theAwkwardGamer. it's actually pretty fucking descriptive when your nation is known from the earth's navel to asscrack. You want Americans to stop using the name? Get a fucking army. Otherwise shut the fuck up and keep crying.
I cal them Usans (I can’t call them ‘Americans’ because that can equally mean people from Chile, Mexico or Canada).
The USA, the only country in the world that has no name for its citizens.
One of the only 3 not to use the metric system.
The only developed country to allow girls aged 10 to get married.
The only developed country with no universal health care.
The only developed country with no right to paid holiday.
The only developed country with no right to paid maternity or paternity leave.
This video will literally always be funny, they call a liquid gas ahaha Americans really are tapped 🤣💀
To be fair, it's not a liquid when it's going into the cylinders in an engine.
@@AJKecsk but the product you put into the car is liquid

"Trunk is at the back of an elephant, not the back of a saloon car"
What about the word "boot"? Boot is on your foot, not the back of your saloon car
Liquid gas is really stupid indeed... Whether something is a liquid or a gas, can't be both (well actually it can but it's under very special conditions).
it’s short for gasoline
@@X-cl1rj no, it's longer.
As a swede, calling the trunk a ”boot” doesn’t make a lick of sense either

Why does Jeremy Clarkson work? Take ur time. Politically incorrect, free to think anything, free to say anything. This gen needs more ppl like him.
They even have BRAKE written on the brake pedal 🙄... And some still don't use it properly.
every once in a while i come back to this video just to see the salty comments of americans who cant take the truth
I'm an American and I'm offended 🤣 However everything he said was true😂😂😂
I'm American and find this hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch of Americans who would be offended and try to cancel Jeremy lol
The cancelling crowd doesn't even like the US you slow cunt
oh i wish people would stop using the word “cancel” when they dont even know what it means.
what the fuck is a bunch of angry wee yanks on twitter gonna do to Jeremy? be a nuisance?
true fun begins when they start measuring things in bald eagles per cheese burger...
"Oh, God, you Americans with your.. cheeeseburgers and your crap cars that won't 'round the bendy bits and Ohh, ohh, ohhhhh the bendy bits, the bendy bits," ~droool~
Yeah, that shit never gets old.
He couldve spoken english, he couldve spoken american, but no, he chose to speak facts
Americans:
Why don't the British speak American?
good old jeremy , tells it as it is !! 😂
You have to admit, calling fuel 'gas' (unless it's a hydrogen car) is a bit daft
Gad stands for gasoline
Short for gasoline which is a liquid. So you're also a bit daft.
ye dafty
@@nate9198 Then why not just say gasoline, you do realise anywhere else outside of America says petrol or diesel, or gasoline, so you saying "Gas" just comes across as stupid
@@adammacdomhnail2014 It’s just a shortened way of saying something. How’s it dumb exactly? It seems pretty normal. I think your over exaggerating.
Yessss. As an American. He is right and I agree😭😭
Malfoy as your pic? 🤔🤣
@@adamdownes4725 lmao yesss 😍 I love him
"They call a liquid gas" THAT right there has been bothering me for so long. I will never get over that.
it is a gas when it enters the piston
@@ronb8302 Nope, still liquid, gas when it has been burnt, And some liquid (water)
It's short for gasoline dude
@@jeffcarroll6553 Wrong. The fuel becomes atomized before it's combusted in reciprocating engines.

Damn he has good points
Being a yank is like having to introduce your fiance to the most embarrassing side of your family....every...single...day!
Being a bull dog is to bring up history every now and then because they have nothing to show for now, not even part of a continent.
@@cvkm We still have 14 territories actually but shhh don't tell anyone.
Does anyone have the full version of the interview? The video in the description doesn’t exist anymore.
Jeremy taking the piss out of seppos and I'm here for it
But he is right!
I love him 😅😁
I love the way its acceptable to make a laugh out of America but when he says something about Mexico its racist
Mexico has literally nothing to shout about, it's an extremely violent drug ridden cartel controlled country full of coke (in both senses) and massive deaths from diabetes due to said coke (the drink) consumption. That's before you even bring their re-fried food (or as James May put it, "refried sick") into it. I'm not surprised they get offended.
"They call a liquid gas"

My my favourite is: A trunk is what you find on the front of an elephant, not the back of a car!

Canadians say almost the same things as Americans. Gas “yes”. But we do have symbols for the car. We are a mash of British & American.

I have seen many people like you who complain about Americans not taking a joke, but have yet to see an offended American in the comments.
@@TeaInTheMorning-we2kh pfft!! Typical "AmErIcAn", couldn't take the joke.
I think Jeremy was very serious about the stupidity of statians.
sometimes his genius
*it’s almost frightening*
Shoulder - Service road
Elevator - Lift
Security Guard - Watch man
Intersection - Junction
Americans also say "I could care less"..... meanwhile us brits use "I couldn't care less" which is the correct term used for said phrase.
I thought Fender was a maker of guitars.
Yes, me too. I never understood what they meant by it using the word in car parts.
@@Pirustae that's the Americans for you......
The word "fender" in British English (and in it's original usage) is a low barrier set in front of an open fire to stop logs and cinders from falling out and burning the carpet. If you Google what a fire fender looks like, you'll see it looks like an old cars front bumper. So I can see where Americans got this from.
Since the invention of the car came after the independence of the US it makes sense that they have a "different word" for it.
Agree with all except for Gas. Gas is short for Gasoline, which is the technically correct word for what we put in the car, not petrol, as that is an unrefined version of Gasoline (nor Benzin for that matter)
petrol is the same thing as gasoline you daft dimbo.
@@varunpuligadda8360 It is colloquially used to describe the same thing, but petrol is a short way of saying petroleum, which in actuality is an unrefined form of gasoline you infantile pillock
@@sergeykuznetsov4314 if he's an infantile pillock then he's like Clarkson when he was driving the bago caravan and cpt slow was going no.2 and said that Jeremy has to clean the crap up
jc for pm?
could one notice any difference?
He makes a good point about the symbols and words on switches, come to think of it
They call a liquid, gas 😂😂
Gas short for gasoline!
@CARR61 uqA:! Nothing, I'm replying to him saying that gas is short for gasoline since gasoline is liquid!
@CARR61 uqA:! it's petrol, short for petroleum. not gas
@@hellenic6792 the beauty of a language is that it really doesn’t matter
@@TinJ7 it’s petrol, it’s a liquid fool
They have the arrogance to call liquid as gas 🙏🙏🤣🤣
You don't genuinely believe saying "gas" instead of "gasoline" is arrogant right? I really hope you don't for your sake, otherwise you must be a difficult person to be around.
He made a good point there lol
Honestly I just want to know where they got the crosswalk lights,
Never seen that in my life.
What are you on about?
@@SIRKlLLALOT This whole conversation he had was about american's dumb english only word based walk/dont walk lights. I've been to I think 7 states now and they've all been the same: Red hand, White walking dude. Stop, walk. Never seen crosswalk lights with words instead of pictures. It's still a funny clip, it just makes no sense.
Press F to make Jeremy Clarkson as Prime Minister
He'd be better than whatever is going on right now I'm sure
I've never found Michael McIntyre remotely funny.
They call a "liquid" a "gas"
Coming from someone born and raised in England you could make the argument that a boot is something you wear on your foot
And it’s not stupid to have the words on switches in cars it keeps things simple and easy I wished our cars had that when I was learning to drive
He's got a huge gut himself lol
This man is the only man allowed to slander the USA cause he makes it hilarious
Nah, it's fair game for everyone really
Literally everyone who isn't American makes fun of Americans, but then again I'm not sure Americans realise that there are people outside of the US.
Mate you haven’t heard half the things we call you like fat people with big guns
@@chillout1996 quiet, our average is your A
@@A1X7Z what are you on about
So in the UK fenders are called fenders when they are on bikes or motorcycle, but are called “wings” on cars?
Spoilers I assume
fenders on bikes are known as mud guards as far as know
and the wing is the front quarter panel which isnt a mud guard nor a fender
Fenders are guitars
I hate that he doesn’t even know that trunks used to be put on the back of cars until the integrated them into the body and just called it a trunk. Now instead of putting your own there, there is one permanently there. And that’s why I hate when people say “frunk”. Trunk has nothing to do with with the back of the car that was just where there was available space. When you move the engine back there the trunk has to move to the front.
Well he may know it but he doesn’t acknowledge it
You are either born in America or you learn to live in it. Nothing else seems to matter and will be pushed aside. Sad but true if you ask me.
Quite the contrary
No one gives a shit about the US. Shut ass country.
Or you just don’t live there?
I love when he says “everywhere else in the world”. He actually hasn’t a single clue about the entire Europe mocking Brits as they do with Americans
@@Justthemonly sure, in your dreams. Especially now with Brexit your comment is just pointless lol
Europe is in no position to mock anybody. Except the Nordic countries, they got it all going well for them.
For what?
@@michiferrucci it’s just not though. He’s not wrong
Why do millions of Europeans move here and bring their entire families with them? Answer: it is better than living in Europe. Open your eyes buddy
It's funny because i live in the US and yet Jeremy clarkson understands the cultures here more than 90% of Americans being that he has visited most parts of the US being with top gear and grand tour.
What about 'Side-Walk' or My Fave ',Horse-BACK' riding-I thought it was on the Neck...or Rump,ha!
He missed a trick. Americans do not have the little red and green men because they'd be too fat to fit on the lights.
As an American... he's not wrong.
Jeremy looks like Mr. Planters Peanut. Without the cane and monocle.
I replied someone's comment with this video because they said "The signals are bad. Instead for a red "ball" as stop, it should be a red arrow." Like bruh does this mans know what red and green means?!?!
Anytime I see this clip I know there'll be commenters thinkin they're soo clever either cause they know gas is short for gasoline or that its actually a gas when it enters the cylinder so let me spell it out for yall....
ITS. A. JOKE.
That's actually a good point I hadn't thought of.
And like all Englishmen, Jeffery has a face for radio.
Who's 'Jeffery'?
@@decodolly1535 Wasn't he in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
I'm not american, but we do day sedan, the rest are weird though! I'm not 100% sure hire true this is, but I've heard that gas (obviously short for gasoline), is technically a "more correct" word than petrol(eum), soin that case... but yes even as a kid when I'd first learnt what a gas was it didn't make sense to me that they call it that
No, gasoline and petroleum are as correct as eachother. Chemically Petroleum would be more correct.
that's not what our walk and stop signs look like?
