Jeremy Clarkson's sense of humour is very tongue in cheek which some people just don't get. It's his trademark. He likes slagging off people, countries, politics. You name it, he does it.
Yes. It's a form of facetious banter that Brits and Australians excel at that doesn't always travel well to Americans. There's no hate involved. And if it were at all hateful it would entirely lose all it's humour.
But still he was talking BS then and it's even clearer now. But that's cool. There's always people who just love something so much they don't want it to change. And therefore Arguments are just rejected.
Clarkson is one of those people who doesn’t like being told what to think and that’s why he winds people up. There is a certain type of person who’s heads explode when they hear him and to me that’s kinda funny lol
@@jotoenatehaaen Other problem? You're obviously one of the people who dislike him.... Let me ask you this, if he's not intelligent, how has he managed to become one of THE most sucsessfull TV-personalities of all time? It's not a matter of dumb luck, he knows what he's doing! Also, have you seen any of his serious documentaries? He's made several documentaries abvout military history, The Victoria Cross, The raid on Saint Nazaire, Inventions that changed the world... I think you're underestimating him quite heavily
@@jotoenatehaaen 😂 I think you need to realise his on screen persona is not the same as his real one. What makes you think he isn't intelligent? His lack of success in a highly competitive industry?
Yeah, that's one of the things I don't like about him. It's such a childish thing to do. It's like the Trumpistas "pissing of the libs" while being little wankers in their basement crying over how fat and ugly they all are.
@@Jason.King.at.your.service Read my reply more carefully and bear in mind that I'm responding to the original comment on the relatively narrow point about whether Clarkson is playing a character to get a rise out of them. From that you've leapt to an absurd conclusion that I 'can't stand anyone who has a different view from (me)'. How ridiculously aggressive. You don't know me from Adam. I suggest you calm down and lose the needlessly adversarial language. As it happens I do disagree with him about electric cars when taken in the round. You haven't specified exactly which point about electric cars Clarkson 'is right about' but he has a tendency to pick the facts that support his view and disregard anything that doesn't. On balance, electric cars are more environmentally friendly than petrol/diesel although they do/may of course still use electricity derived from fossil fuels but the direction of travel is necessarily and inevitably moving towards lower carbon sources so Clarkson's argument on that front is becoming less relevant by the day. Clarkson is intelligent enough to know this but he plays the boorish character that he's developed over the last few decades (for entertainment purposes) and which doesn't fit the broader scientific picture. My point as that many fans view Clarkson as 'the science'
There's definitely a huge difference in the soh between Yanks and Brits, I remember many years ago when rafting in the Grand Canyon I cracked a pish taking joke with a Yank, he didn't talk to me for the rest of the trip! Bloody good job I didn't start singing a few football chants!
Exactly, we don't have to agree on everything, it's just how we are, there can be 2 best friends grew up together, same school, same work, and tons of stuff they both don't agree on.
Clarkson has two main characters honest journalist and the old age child he plays in top gear/GT. Try reacting to him when he is being a journalist, His Victoria Cross series and his 'inventions that changed the world. Underneath the buffoon is a very intelligent and caring heart.
@@vaudevillian7 according to an interview Andy Wilman did with Ben Collins: he's the same bombastic, obtuse man off-camera as he is on camera. He is a born shit-stirrer, as Wilman explains. That doesn't mean he can't also be a very professional journalist and have a heart. People's characters aren't a single thing. I watched the making of The Greatest Raid of All and he is as enthusiastic about the material off-camera as he is when presenting. He calls the bit where they sail into the harbor, with him on the bow, as the best piece to camera he ever did. Worth the watch, both the documentary and the making of. The effort and dedication that went into the practical effects is amazing. Same with the Wilman interview, it's a two-parter. Lots of behind the scenes conversation and Wilman ripping into Collins endlessly. In my opinion, he 100% is as you see him on TG/GT but he is also a lot more.

@@MOSMASTERING He lied on many occasions he doesn't know, because he knows plenty. It is his Top Gear character. His views on climate change have changed since he became a farmer, as he experiences the effect daily. He is not that real in many cases. He knows very well how to present himself depending on the situation. I like him, but he has been very racist too many times. We're 4 decades late to the "new technology party" as I said.

Bare in mind that this interview was long before social media so celebrities could get away with being controversial and unhappy people had to complain directly to the BBC rather than venting their anger online for all the world to see so therefore it was much easier to get away with saying what you think on tv back then.
Clarkson is not wrong about Electric Cars its all about the mining of the materials for batteries and disposal of exhausted batteries IMO the Green people never talk about this simple fact
Your information is years out of date. More cobalt is used the production of liquid road fuel than EV batteries which no longer use it. New battery chemistry makes them long lived and easily recyclable.
@@MikkoRantalainen EV batteries use NO cobalt, unlike petrol and diesel that uses it during the refinement process. CATL have just launched a new battery with a 1,500,000 km warranty!
Top gear was in the Guinness book of records for having the most watched show in the world 350 million people in 200 countries watched it . And he always said I am an entertainer don't confuse me with what I say.
If you can find a clip - Jonathan Ross has a massive collection of comic books and rare japanese toys - like an entire air conditioned warehouse with everything in immaculate condition
08:05 - It's like that with these electric cars. The European Union has been telling everyone that diesel cars are more economical. They told it at a time when they weren't. Now they are telling us that electric cars are eco-friendly. Another nonsense.
Clarkson is from Doncaster in Yorkshire, but his accent has been softened by fancy schools. Johnathan Ross is a Londoner, but has a slight lisp. Look for Clarkson's videos on the Greatest Raid, & the Victoria Cross medal, they show a serious side to him, reminding us that he began as a journalist.
Fun fact; the Netherlands actually can resist a 10 meter sealevel rise with their current waterworks and barriers (including the moderations that are already underway). The low parts of Jezza's homecountry however will drown way before the Dutch have to scale up their defence.

Jonathan Ross's accent is called "Estuary English". Added to that is a speech "feature" - it seems a bit strange to call it an impediment - where he pronounced Rs more as Ws.
Johnathan Ross has a very large amazing vintage toy collection & is a serious collector - big respect from me after seeing some of the RUclips videos of the many multiple storage rooms he has full of very rare Sci-Fi/Superhero/Japanese toy figures & vehicles - he really knows his stuff 😎🙌👍
The people that don't like Jeremy Clarkson are folks who do not understand British humour. He's not being serious about most of what he says and unfortunately most folks these days are too PC to even understand that he's just pushing buttons. He is the most entertaining man on TV. Top Gear, The Grand Tour and now Clarkson's farm. Absolute Gold.
Love clarkson don’t have to totally agree with him but debate and discussion requires people of all sorts and people strong enough to state what they think without worrying what people think
Clarkson is an ignorant, arrogant buffoon. He punched someone at night because it was too late for a meal and could only be offered a sandwich. He has said the "N" word and generally been offensive.
Would love to see your reaction to England''s football team's national anthem at euro 96, it's on RUclips and only a minute long. The noise from the crowd was so loud that the singer of the anthem "Paul Young" just stopped and left it to the crowd. Amazing.
Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure. His Farmland show was a hit. All of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland supports him. Except thise people in London
don't think he cares about the environment as much as you may think. he just hates hypocrisy from people who go around virtue signalling yet are painfully unaware of what they are doing.
That was quite mild compared to some of the things he's come out with. You should try watching his review of the Tesla S.U.V. from The Grand Tour. I honestly think it's one of the best, and funniest, reviews he's ever done
I have a Jaguar iPace that goes to 60mph in 4.3 seconds, it’s super fast, comfortable and costs me £8 to fully charge at home. I love it. If you travel lots of miles it wouldn’t be suitable but if you travel less than 250miles a day it’s perfect.
Clarkson doesn't set out to upset people he just speaks his mind speaks his own truth and as abrasive as people find him he Is a great presenter. As for disliking American culture u doesnt like the over the top excess - didnt stop him preordering the gt40 which he saved about nor his appreciation of Shelby and mustang. Also random fact, his parents were solely responsible for clothing the Paddington bear toys and changing the way Paddington looked for ever after. They put the the duffel coat on him, as he was previously naked bar his hat, and added Wellington boots to him to aid the you to stand up. Clarkson is top shelf. Watch his interview where u talks about clumping piers Morgan, breaking his finger and what he says about piers
The same people that want everyone to drive electric cars is the ones that are against nuclear power. But if england swithes all their vehicles to electric they need to build another 13ish nuclear powerstations that are bigger then what they have now(and keeping the old ones).
I don’t agree with Clarkson on everything, but I’m with him on electric cars. The power to charge them has to come from somewhere. In the U.K. most of our power stations use fossil fuels (gas and coal - although coal is being phased out big time) and nuclear. Both have lots of environmental nasties attached to them. Gas and coal have high carbon emissions. Nuclear doesn’t, but there’s that whole issue with nuclear waste that doesn’t sit easily with everyone. But that’s nothing compared to the production of the lithium batteries. 77% of the worlds lithium batteries are made in China who mainly use coal as the energy source for the production process. There are some estimates that the production of lithium car batteries produces more CO2 emissions than traditional cars. The Berylls Strategy Advisors (an automotive consultancy) carried out some research in Germany and concluded that a car battery weighing 1,100 pounds emits over 70% more carbon dioxide than producing a conventional car. And then there’s the mineral waste leakage that often occurs in the extraction and processing of lithium. And the night demand for water in the process which has been associated in some cases with polluting reservoirs. And all of this is before you delve into the world of harmful chemical leakage from discarded lithium batteries in scrap yards and landfills around the world. Governments and companies around the world are championing electric cars more and more. It’s done so that people think they’re doing a great job in preserving our environment. But it’s a scam devised to attract votes and make money. I don’t believe you’ll ever undo the damage we’ve done to the environment with technology by creating more technology. If we are all prepared to give up our cars and gadgets and go back to a pre-Industrial Revolution way of life we’d at least stop things getting worse. We’d then have to think of a way to reverse the process. But we’d have to reject our current way of life completely. And nobody, myself included, is willing to do that.
The points about Electric Vehicles, the infrastructure is gonna cost billions. When we already have the infrastructure for liquid fuels, so make synthetic fuels.
Don't worry about what other people think mate, stay true be you. No one forces anyone to watch so if they don't like something or someone they can jog on. We're mostly here for you ma man.
I love listening to Jeremy Clarkson, he's hilarious. He takes the mickey out of people, institutions, governments etc. People have forgotten what free speech looks like and take themselves too seriously. Brits love mockery incl making light of disastrous situations which carried them through 2 world wars. The British sense of humour is not understood by many people - its slightly cruel, often subtle and very funny and I personally love it
I love Clarksons farming show despite some of it being recently outed as being scripted. Honestly I don't think any TV is truly factual and unscripted anymore.
I don’t understand people who don’t like others sense of humour. If you don’t like a particular person then don’t watch or listen to them. It’s that simple really. I love the idea that he triggers people. It’s their own fault 😂😂
When talking about the Prius he is talking about the hypocrisy that goes into making electric or hybrid cars. The lithium mining. The fact that they are worse for the environment.
Hey King Boomer, it's okay to have an opinion on something, especially JC. Even people that like JC don't really like him, but they do like reminiscing about the days when one did not have to be politically correct all the time. There are plenty of people that don't believe the "environmentally friendly" narrative of the people in charge, and JC specialises in this field.
not related to this video but i've been watching a lot of your Al Murry reactions as i love him and clearly you do too, if you like Al Murrays pub landlord persona he has made a tv series in this character called Time Gentlemen Please which is Hilarious, it would be great to see you react to them, im commenting here because it's your latest video and there's more chance you will see the comment, long time follower of your channel
Why do peeps get upset over opinions? Make up your own mind and act on that just ignore others until they become too loud then you may be wrong and reconsider?
"I wonder if he's tried a Tesla".... Umm, Musk _sued_ Top Gear in 2011, for Clarkson's road test of the first Tesla sold in the UK, for reputational damage - and lost. Then they refused to supply any more cars for TG to use...
Clarkson is a sensible down to earth normal British bloke who isn't a dreamer, because he's awake! According to Al Gore we should have seen Polar Bears clinging to ice cubes floating down the main street 15 years ago but he's still flying around the world on his private jet spreading climate anxiety, and making lots of money from it.
This is part of the problem, though. You have these views because tabloid headlines were wrong and people like Al Gore weren't entirely correct, but why do you care what they say? Why not read what the majority of scientists are saying in their papers? The opposition is nearly always working class "bloke" types who never had any interest in science or academia until the past 5 years, and now they are suddenly experts on vaccines and climate change because they read some nonsense on Facebook which made more sense to their uneducated brains. A statement like "6c warmer climate means we'd be the same as the south of France!" is such a small minded view that would only make sense to a simpleton.

Jonathan Ross's accent is called "Estuary English". Added to that is a speech "feature" - it seems a bit strange to call it an impediment - where he pronounced Rs more as Ws.
I love Jeremy! He tells it like it is!
Johnathan Ross has a very large amazing vintage toy collection & is a serious collector - big respect from me after seeing some of the RUclips videos of the many multiple storage rooms he has full of very rare Sci-Fi/Superhero/Japanese toy figures & vehicles - he really knows his stuff 😎🙌👍
You and the wife should definitely check out clarksons farm. Its so funny but also a nice feel good show.
It's true some people love him some hate him.
Others just have a good laugh.
I think you would probably find that more people like Clarkson than dislike him.
Yes, that’s true.
Not true at all. Name any celebrity, more people dislike them than like them.

People or sheeple get told to hate somebody and then they follow the narrative and think they’re virtuous
In JC, we hear what many of us are thinking but don't express.
Jonathan Ross has a fairly standard working class London accent but he famously can't pronounce the letter "R" properly.
The people that don't like Jeremy Clarkson are folks who do not understand British humour. He's not being serious about most of what he says and unfortunately most folks these days are too PC to even understand that he's just pushing buttons. He is the most entertaining man on TV. Top Gear, The Grand Tour and now Clarkson's farm. Absolute Gold.
Love clarkson don’t have to totally agree with him but debate and discussion requires people of all sorts and people strong enough to state what they think without worrying what people think
Stop apologising for Clarkson, he's voicing an opinion, his opinion, it's not for you to apologise for his opinions! Even if you are reacting to them.
sadly this is a shortened edited version of Clarksons interview. you need to find the longer version 😁
Talking about the environment should not have to be political.
Ross has roughly a southern or Londonish accent mate but he also has a speech impediment which makes the way he talks unique
It’s all tongue in cheek and typical British humour.
point is you're still plugging them into the mains....which is oil/gas
If you live in the third world, yes. Any civilised country is using only nuclear/renewables by now.
If you like Jeremy Clarkson, you should try and watch Clarkson‘s farm
Absolutely. Apart from being hilarious, it's a great insight into rural Britain. Not sure what KB will make of Gerald though!
@CruisingTheBroads I'm British and can't understand Gerald 😂😂
Gerald is a national treasure, even if we can't understand him. 😄
@@CruisingTheBroads I'm from the north of England and can only make out some words Gerald says :D
Clarkson is an ignorant, arrogant buffoon. He punched someone at night because it was too late for a meal and could only be offered a sandwich. He has said the "N" word and generally been offensive.
Would love to see your reaction to England''s football team's national anthem at euro 96, it's on RUclips and only a minute long. The noise from the crowd was so loud that the singer of the anthem "Paul Young" just stopped and left it to the crowd. Amazing.
Clarkson is very much interested in the environment, the climate is changing, but not because of human behaviour.
Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure. His Farmland show was a hit. All of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland supports him. Except thise people in London
I should react to some Clarkson’s farm
😂😂😂yep..with Jacob and the language to.jezza
don't think he cares about the environment as much as you may think. he just hates hypocrisy from people who go around virtue signalling yet are painfully unaware of what they are doing.
I love Jezza and all of his programmes.
Everyone loves Jeremy. He's not serious, it's all typical British banter
Jeremy Clarkson for U.K. Prime Minister. He’s spot on about EV’s too. The great Green Joke & Con.
Watching this some 20 years later as the news has just said feb was 1.6 degrees warmer than the previous record 😂
Jonathan Ross has a speech impediment called Rhotacism which affects how he pronounces the letter R
Somebody clearly had a sense of humour giving a name for it that started with R.....
KB, check out Philomena Cunk.
That was quite mild compared to some of the things he's come out with.
You should try watching his review of the Tesla S.U.V. from The Grand Tour. I honestly think it's one of the best, and funniest, reviews he's ever done
Jonathan ross has quite a distinct lisp, which is maybe what youre hearing
You probably don't know but Jonathan Ross's wife is the screen writer/producer behind the Kingsmen films, the X-man films and Kick Ass
It's really sad when someone feels the need to apologise and be careful for "watching stuff".
Really sad times are coming.
Jeremy Clarkson reminds me of the smart-ass disruptive kid at the back of the class who's never grown out of his smart-assness.
I have a Jaguar iPace that goes to 60mph in 4.3 seconds, it’s super fast, comfortable and costs me £8 to fully charge at home. I love it. If you travel lots of miles it wouldn’t be suitable but if you travel less than 250miles a day it’s perfect.
I've not seen any reactor react to Richard Hammond's car crash...
Clarkson doesn't set out to upset people he just speaks his mind speaks his own truth and as abrasive as people find him he Is a great presenter. As for disliking American culture u doesnt like the over the top excess - didnt stop him preordering the gt40 which he saved about nor his appreciation of Shelby and mustang. Also random fact, his parents were solely responsible for clothing the Paddington bear toys and changing the way Paddington looked for ever after. They put the the duffel coat on him, as he was previously naked bar his hat, and added Wellington boots to him to aid the you to stand up. Clarkson is top shelf. Watch his interview where u talks about clumping piers Morgan, breaking his finger and what he says about piers
The same people that want everyone to drive electric cars is the ones that are against nuclear power. But if england swithes all their vehicles to electric they need to build another 13ish nuclear powerstations that are bigger then what they have now(and keeping the old ones).
I don’t agree with Clarkson on everything, but I’m with him on electric cars. The power to charge them has to come from somewhere. In the U.K. most of our power stations use fossil fuels (gas and coal - although coal is being phased out big time) and nuclear. Both have lots of environmental nasties attached to them. Gas and coal have high carbon emissions. Nuclear doesn’t, but there’s that whole issue with nuclear waste that doesn’t sit easily with everyone.
But that’s nothing compared to the production of the lithium batteries. 77% of the worlds lithium batteries are made in China who mainly use coal as the energy source for the production process. There are some estimates that the production of lithium car batteries produces more CO2 emissions than traditional cars. The Berylls Strategy Advisors (an automotive consultancy) carried out some research in Germany and concluded that a car battery weighing 1,100 pounds emits over 70% more carbon dioxide than producing a conventional car.
And then there’s the mineral waste leakage that often occurs in the extraction and processing of lithium. And the night demand for water in the process which has been associated in some cases with polluting reservoirs. And all of this is before you delve into the world of harmful chemical leakage from discarded lithium batteries in scrap yards and landfills around the world.
Governments and companies around the world are championing electric cars more and more. It’s done so that people think they’re doing a great job in preserving our environment. But it’s a scam devised to attract votes and make money.
I don’t believe you’ll ever undo the damage we’ve done to the environment with technology by creating more technology. If we are all prepared to give up our cars and gadgets and go back to a pre-Industrial Revolution way of life we’d at least stop things getting worse. We’d then have to think of a way to reverse the process. But we’d have to reject our current way of life completely. And nobody, myself included, is willing to do that.
The points about Electric Vehicles, the infrastructure is gonna cost billions. When we already have the infrastructure for liquid fuels, so make synthetic fuels.
That elastic band on the left needs connecting on the microphone cradle.
Not a lot of people is a fan of the US. I'm certainly not one of them.
Wait... who thinks Americans have any culture? Now that's funny.
Jonathan was right about the electric car thing.
Clarkson was sitting in a Model X a few years later and had a great time 😁
Would love to see you react to Charlie Brooker: Guns and the USA or his vid on British and American TV News.
Ross's accent is from somewhere in the south of England. I’m from the north and unable to specify further.
ross is a cockney from london he has a lisp too lol, clarkson is actually from yorkshire with a posh accent.
Jonathan Ross has a british Elmer Fudd "accent". I think he also exaggerates some of his speech affectations.
Its so good to here an American acknowledge that we brits have a lot of different accents, they usually think we are all either realy posh or chavy 😂😂
Clarksons great he says it how it is and up front 🤣
can't believe this was nearly 20 years ago!
Don't worry about what other people think mate, stay true be you. No one forces anyone to watch so if they don't like something or someone they can jog on. We're mostly here for you ma man.
Jonathan Ross is a Londoner. He has a speech inpediment, so sounds unusual.
I love listening to Jeremy Clarkson, he's hilarious. He takes the mickey out of people, institutions, governments etc. People have forgotten what free speech looks like and take themselves too seriously. Brits love mockery incl making light of disastrous situations which carried them through 2 world wars. The British sense of humour is not understood by many people - its slightly cruel, often subtle and very funny and I personally love it
Jonathan Ross hasn't got an unusual English accent but he has got a lisp.
Love Jonathan Ross and Jezza Clarkson
Jonathan does not have a different accent... he has a speech impediment and a lisp, lol.
Clarkson is a person who you should follow, in reference to your opinions and the way you live. Live and think as you want.
I’m a 75 F I know nothing about cars except Color but love top gear or anything with Jeramy clarkson Clarkson farm is hilarious.
We are dooooomed
I love Clarksons farming show despite some of it being recently outed as being scripted. Honestly I don't think any TV is truly factual and unscripted anymore.
I don’t understand people who don’t like others sense of humour. If you don’t like a particular person then don’t watch or listen to them. It’s that simple really. I love the idea that he triggers people. It’s their own fault 😂😂
On the last day of October Jonathan Ross turned up at my door wearing a mask and gave me two options, i chose the second one and tweeted someone.
" shot a car" ! 😂😂😂
When talking about the Prius he is talking about the hypocrisy that goes into making electric or hybrid cars. The lithium mining. The fact that they are worse for the environment.
Jeremy is very clever and he does what he does for a reaction and he succeeds everytime.
Try Clarrkson's film on his father-in-law winning the VC in WWII.
KB have you watched Clarksons farm yet? Brilliant
Hey King Boomer, it's okay to have an opinion on something, especially JC. Even people that like JC don't really like him, but they do like reminiscing about the days when one did not have to be politically correct all the time. There are plenty of people that don't believe the "environmentally friendly" narrative of the people in charge, and JC specialises in this field.
not related to this video but i've been watching a lot of your Al Murry reactions as i love him and clearly you do too, if you like Al Murrays pub landlord persona he has made a tv series in this character called Time Gentlemen Please which is Hilarious, it would be great to see you react to them, im commenting here because it's your latest video and there's more chance you will see the comment, long time follower of your channel
Why do peeps get upset over opinions? Make up your own mind and act on that just ignore others until they become too loud then you may be wrong and reconsider?
Buyers of hybrid cars complain that they are not sustainable cars. Many claim that the next car they will buy will run on petrol/diesel,
"..don't take me seriously" - hehe! how could I possibly?
"I wonder if he's tried a Tesla".... Umm, Musk _sued_ Top Gear in 2011, for Clarkson's road test of the first Tesla sold in the UK, for reputational damage - and lost. Then they refused to supply any more cars for TG to use...
Clarkson is a sensible down to earth normal British bloke who isn't a dreamer, because he's awake! According to Al Gore we should have seen Polar Bears clinging to ice cubes floating down the main street 15 years ago but he's still flying around the world on his private jet spreading climate anxiety, and making lots of money from it.
This is part of the problem, though. You have these views because tabloid headlines were wrong and people like Al Gore weren't entirely correct, but why do you care what they say? Why not read what the majority of scientists are saying in their papers? The opposition is nearly always working class "bloke" types who never had any interest in science or academia until the past 5 years, and now they are suddenly experts on vaccines and climate change because they read some nonsense on Facebook which made more sense to their uneducated brains. A statement like "6c warmer climate means we'd be the same as the south of France!" is such a small minded view that would only make sense to a simpleton.
Performance electric cars make deafening screaming sounds.
