"The Americans might shoot you"
Is a reference to some British soldiers killed by American soldiers "friendly fire."
Clarkson was always up on current affairs, some jokes go over heads because you don't know what was topical at the time.
His father in law was a Victoria cross recipient at Arnhem, Clarkson has always been a fierce defender of the british military
Re-watching earlier episodes you can tell whatever was in the news at the time in some Top Gear episodes. It's very fun
tbh i didnt know that. Partly cause im from belgium and that friendly fire wouldnt be as big of news compared to Brittians and saw the episode way later. But nonetheless i still found it very funny
@@matwetton FRANKIEonPC made a video on it a few years back, it's probably worth a reaction video as it was an awesome story.
edit: just went to look for it and it must have been taken down, shame really. There's a few copycat videos but Frankie told it best.
@@DiZh0 Well there were 2 particular nasty ones - and was largely due to a massive moment of incompetence on the Americans behalf. Not a generalization - however on those 2 occasions it's just what happened. You can still find a lot of material about it if you google it...
26 February 1991: Six British soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, and ten members of the attached Company of Queen's Own Highlanders were killed and further three injured after their Warrior armoured vehicles were hit by Maverick missiles fired by two U.S. A-10 ground attack aircraft.
And look up: 1994 Black Hawk shootdown incident - 26 dead from a bunch of countries
Jeremy was purposely trying to recite the rhyme without using the 'n' word, hence why he mumbled so much, but the papers still made out he'd actually said it - anything for a headline I guess....
That's not what was aired either.
yh as usual the media LIES and make things up
@G223 he didn't mumble enough, which is why they chose NOT to use that take in the actual program, but the media still managed to get hold of it and make a mountain out of a molehill....
@G223 but what was aired on TV he said teacher. What he was called out for was a take not aired where he tried to mumble it rather than say it .. main point it wasn't aired on tv
@G223 even if he did it isn't a crime. To call someone it it is because it'll be bullying says twitter
I noticed how you stopped laughing after the American being fat stupid and rude bit😂
To be fair, he'd already pulled back prior to that and that clip wasn't particularly funny, so...
@@jackclements2163Well, enough people found it funny enough to include it in the compilation.
I laugh when American comics say we all have bad teeth and then do that weird accent we're supposed to have. It's so general that it's insane, which is why it's funny (to me). It's not a personal attack.
@@busterlowd4365 exactly and if you know Jeremy/ have seen the show, you’ll understand he’s taking the p*ss
@@BWFCLVAREY I think you can get away with using the word "piss"
those three had the best shows , always a laugh
5:06 - little did they know the Mexican ambassador to the UK actually saw the segment & sent a complaint to the BBC
Jeremy Clarkson rides that fine line, like an expert.
N word thing is part of a counting rhyme, most people over here over 50 learned as a kid, most of us never knew what it meant, obviously he did at that age, word now replaced with nipper or similar
Clarkson is like Marmite. You either love it or you hate it. P.S. I love Marmite.
Love this show. Watched it every week with my sons. The specials are just epic!
This is proper top gear pal.
"N-word shame". Well, time to stop laughing at anything...
Just think of yourself and two of your besties just having an open and honest rambling chat... and then imagine that whatever you just said is being criticised by a particularly strict librarian. And that's Top Gear.
SHHHH....
Offensive? No, just funny.
Crazy too think these conversations were fine just yesterday compared too now it's scary...as you said fun is fun it's not personal it's too make people laugh and laughing at yourself
You should react to the time they were in Alabama. They were nearly lynched!
Iv subscribe just for that laugh alone!
So this something I haven't seen anyone else explain the context of before but the "Cheese eating surrender monkey" bit came from the news that America had announced their green car of the year for the year that episode aired and, while the car was kinda funny as the green car of the year was a huge Chevy Taho hybrid that did 30 mph, It was the judges that got the most attention as the judges were Jay Leno (Who had previously been a guest on top gear and at that time had such a vast amount of old sports car and otherwise, it took 3 A4 papers to note down them all.), Carroll Shelby (The man who put the Ford V8 in the AC Ace to create the AC Cobra and was responsible for putting the supercharger in the Mustang) and the final judge, Jean-Michel Cousteau, the son of famous enviromentalist Jacques Cousteau. The bit comes in when Jeremy said he'd loved to be in the discussion as he could just imagine Leno going "Shut up, you cheese eating surrender monkey" followed by Richard think that Jean was all happy when he was about to enter that meeting and being a judge for an environmentally safe car but his co judges were quote "Drinking petrol and supercharging their chairs." Tl:dr: Just three judges. only 2 of them are petrol gods and one is enviromentalist judging the least harmful car.
He didn't use the bad word.
Dam i miss old Top gear.
What a great fuckin laugh you’ve got Sir
Thank you "Beard" you are the Best! Top Gear with out the 3 "musketeers" is flop gear😂. Clarkson punched a BBC executive To his face. And I do not Wonder. GT was a good try but Amazon, I guess, was not the right choice. I really hope they Will come back❤There are so many fans, that it is amazing, they do not get own show cause there is so much shit produced and at the moment there are no other motor-shows watchable. I Highly recommend To watch at least the epic long Journeys like to Burma, Thailand, Kobi etc..
The top gear specials are hilarious
I don't think the N word is taking things too far, words only have the power you ascribe them. Why should every other derogatory term be "acceptable" with the exception of that? All derogatory terms have vile connotations and an unpleasant history associated with them. I'm not saying people should throw such words around loosely BUT the reasoning is illogical.
Us real Englishmen insult ourselves just as much as anyone else.
It's what we do, nobody is exempt and everyone is fair game.
Woke-ism will never be a majority thing here, thank fuck.
Never say never.
The n word thing is ridiculous. That wasn’t even aired and he barely said it
eenie minie moo did use the Nword originally ,clarkson never said it ,its a old habit to accidentally say it out of tradition like old man racism, the word was replaced with tigger/tiger by the toe
The funny thing is the Mexican Ambassador was actually watching and complained to the BBC 😀
😂😂😂
Yes I remember he asked the BBC for an apology but I don't think he ever got one 😃😆😂
That’s right. The boys went to apologise personally at the Mexican Embassy, and got pissed on Tequila. Jezza has spoken about it several times.
Dunno why he complained. All he could've done was remind them about:
* Lazy British work ethics. Especially south of Birmingham.
* Terrible & bland British food
* The fact Britain doesn't really have a car industry anymore. And didn't produce much to savour when it did...
@@danieleyre8913 Do you know that reputation for British food being bland came from American GIs during WW2, while Britain was on rations, but Americans aren't always the most perceptive bunch at the best of times.
6:11 Jeremy: "Everybody's very fat, everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude."
EB: **crickets**
Noted.
The whole point of the N-Word situation is he didn't say it, he said a rhyme which used to have the word in it, so people who don't like him anyway took the opportunity to make up the story.
@G223 he didnt, he just started making noises that sounded like the old rhyme, you hear what you want to hear
@G223 He didn't even say any of the letters in it, never mind the word itself.
@G223 It is not clear, he just raises his voice slightly. If anything, it is closer to 'digger'.
@G223 as I said, you hear what you want to hear. I am no racist so I didn't 'hear' him say it. Its like when you hear a song and don't know the lyrics, you brain interprets the words based on your vocabulary.
Jesus, so *ucking what, sick to death of this woke, PC hand wringing, Guardian reading shite 🙄
I'm British, when I went to Australia with my family I remember them asking my mum and dad if they had criminal records. My dad replied 'I didn't know we still needed one'. I was too young to understand at the time but now I know why we got such a look. 🤣🤣
"We came here on our own accord. Not ordered to do so by a court!" 🤣🤣
At its peak Top Gear was sold to 214 territories and had a weekly audience of 350 million!!!!! So plenty of opportunities to insult just about everybody.
Mate,let me reassure you as a Brit,they were not being malicious. We just have a terribly ironic sense of humour,we take the p*ss out of each other unmercilessly,all the time. I have found with Americans that I know, that they tend to prefer jokes that have a definite punch line at the end. We on the other hand, would prefer to laugh at the guy's attempt at telling the joke !! So long as it's not meant to be hurtful we just roll with it. I do feel for foreigners coming here,because they must wonder what the hell we are laughing at sometimes. Cheers from Blighty. 👍
Jeremy is a national treasure
Rather like the clap 😂 irritating but a fun time was had by all !
Yes, he should be kept locked up in a bank vault.
@@dave_h_8742 that’s not actually true. I worked as a nurse in a special clinic for a while, as you do. The men were in one side of the clinical area. The women on the other. One side tended to be a little embarrassed to have discovered foreign objects inside their bodies - parts of gnomes, waxed tapers, open safety pins, little critters waving at you under a microscope visible once stained. The other side tended to be wailing, ‘… but I thought he loved me. I didn’t know we weren’t exclusive.” It was pretty awful when both parties to the exchange of microscopic organisms arrived together maintaining a united front until the need for antibiotics, etc. became apparent. And to think I could’ve worked in the outpatient eye department instead.
This programme was a real institution over here in the 90s-10s. The 3 of them stayed the same, and used offensive humour throughout the show. I think what happened was that the World changed around them, and the show was considered to be "a bit much" for current sensitivity. The "official" reason it was axed was because Clarkson had a fight with someone involved in filming/managing the show, but a lot of us feel it was cancelled because it used old-fashioned but now-offensive humour. It just didn't fit the "current climate".
The World's gone backwards, you should be able to have fun without people being offended. It's not like they targeted anybody in particular, they were the same to everyone.
@@10thdoctor15 no the world has gone forwards unfortunately catering for idiotic mentally ill minorities that have been given too loud a voice over the majority.... backwards would have been an improvement
plus it wasn't made for the south bank crowd / guardian readers. Yentob said the BBC made shows for them [CDE -i.e lower socio-economic groups] Top Gear.
Nah, Jeremy was fired, show stayed. May and Hammond along with most stuff decided to quit as they felt it's right thing to do. They went to create same show for Amazon and still were offensive on many occasions. Show was earning so much money for BBC did not care what they say, they covered them many times. Also TG was popular everywhere, UK was not it's main target and PC culture existed only in USA and UK back then and well still mostly do with Scandinavian countries in mix. They were so popular because they were offensive i doubt even far left cuckold BBC would kill only profitable show just to please small crowd in UK.
The new characters that do top gear shouldn't have called it such a thing. The 3 amigos are the only true top gear cast, and the new one is 💩 anyway...
The new one is shit... and the old one was shit... when they weren't insulting everyone it was watchable... but good riddance to both
I agree 1000% i started watching it again after the current 3 Paddy, Freddie and Chris started and its good but it will never be the same. Jezza, May and Hamster are legends
@@Fullmoonhowl101 was a much better show before May, hammond and Clarkson
Without the trio lads shenanigans and banter... it's not top gear.
Agreed. Should have just called it "Gear" if they wanted to be honest.
The stuff these three pull off... If you ever get a chance to watch the series, I highly recommend it. It's ridiculously funny. The best episodes are the ones that are specials, like:
Driving to the North Pole
Driving through Vietnam.
Driving through Bolivia to the Pacific.
Driving through Botswana.
Or the challenges:
Building their own RV.
Buying a coupe for 1500 pounds.
Rallycross racing on a budget.
British Layland car challenge.
Searching for the best driving road (the clip with the map).
The Bolivia one is my favourite.
I had and continue to have ZERO interest in cars. But I still enjoy Top Gear and The Grand Tour specials. Beautifully shot and it's more of a travel documentary then. I like their attempt to bring fresh fish to Central Africa, the RV one is great too - love the old Top Gear special about custom caravans. I say: worth a try, even if you aren't interested in cars.
You forgot the most epic of all the Robin Reliant Space Shuttle.
@@stephenrohaim382 It's Reliant Robin. Would you say "Mondeo Ford"? No.
@@baylessnow Hehe so sorry :) its been a few years since I saw it and Im not a car guy.
The Alabama episode or the one where they get kicked out of Argentina are up there with the best 🤣
@KomodoDragon yep...
@KomodoDragon Still sore about 1982 ? :)
First listened to Clarkson some 30 years ago. He was reviewing some car and said 'Its not a stop watch you need with this car, but a calendar'. Been a fan ever since.
He didn't actually say it, there is two versions to the song. One is tiger and the other is the N word, and the papers went with the N word. Even though he never said either. It's the MSM stirring things up.
My old dear used to say "tinker". I now know that's a derogatory term for a type of gypsy..... I guess she thought it was better than the rearrangement of "ginger".
@@Si_Mondo Yea you can put pretty much anything in there and it works. But the N one is the original version and the tiger one was taught as the clean version at school. Apart from the playground, that's where you get abit creative.
I miss this Top Gear. The new one for me is unwatchable.
I think the new ones are great, The ones with evans and matt le blanc etc were poor though.
Right, those insipid idiots ruined it. And Chris Evans was the worst thing that I ever saw on television.
@@aid901 The 'Joey from Friends' ones were watchable but the ones with the egotestical (sic) ginger whinger, were borderline torture. I think I watched maybe 3 episodes.
it's absolute BBC shit ,, they have lost every single watchable show they had because of thier new stance , they are wankers and why i got rid of my telly and stopped funding them .. they are just throwing popular celebrity faces at it hoping they will gel , without realizing that it worked because the guys came from petrolhead backgrounds and had a genuine buddy bond ,, plainly shown when they got rid of jezzer and the other two said fuck you we're a package .... the BBC still don't realise they fucked off the goose that laid the golden egg and top gear is a dead duck
The new TopGear is atrocious, they are just using old scripts they had left over and it doesn't work they have zero chemistry.
He was on a programme in the UK at Christmas where it was discussed what Britons should be doing on Boxing Day (26th December). He said people shouldn't be doing anything on that day but doing fox-hunting or something. It was obviously tongue-in-cheek but it didn't half upset a lot of people. He's just showing how easy it is. He didn't mean what he said, but some don't have a sense of humour. He turns them on and off when he wants. It's called sanity.
Those three presenting Top Gear good not prejudiced they didn’t care who you were they take the piss out of you very fair really
If they haven’t taken the piss out of you they will again very fair
They did get a complaint from the Mexican embassy in London. It turns out the Mexican ambassador wasn’t sleeping he was watching Top Gear😂😂😂😂
Ay caramba!
In your own time,please watch the top gear specials......
Vietnam, is something else.
Yes indeed. I'd rate it my favourite I think.
@@Steve-gc5nt ruclips.net/video/kmepCcIKOs0/видео.html
I agree with my dad on top gear, he's a massive fan of it and we watched it a lot together, he always says that "they made more fun out if themselves and the British than anybody else, if you don't care to make fun of your own country then they aren't in the wrong for making fun of others stereotypes" and i agree with that, because it's true, now some other stuffs bad but this show is built of 3 things, 1; cars, 2; a fat bloke, a short guy and a twat, and 3;comedy. And that's what made the show as great as it is!
Love Jeremy, worse thing was BBC dropping him, the replacement lot are useless
The dropped him because he physically assaulted a member of staff on his team, which was the correct thing to do. The thing that annoys me is that the same people who get angry over his sacking tend to be the same people that attack the BBC for the whole Savile thing. Essentially taking a wavering stance on morality based on their own selfish wants. Complete hypocrisy.
@@SirHilaryManfat hardly the same thing. A man who lost his temper and emidatly apologised compared with a man who sexually assaulted dozens of kids who couldn't protect themselves. Have a word with yourself.
@@orwellboy1958 Ha, what a patronising response. I knew someone would come back with that strawman argument. I'm not making comparisons to eachother's crime, I'm stating the fact that people were up in arms over the BBC not doing the right thing at the time with Savile, so the BBC quite rightly did the right thing in sacking Clarkson for physically abusing a member of staff, and people are up in arms. it's a moral issue with regards to taking action over wrongdoing, not an issue based on the hierachy of a criminal action.
How lucky were we here in the UK to have 399 episodes of TG and years (1988-2015) of whacky fun & hilarious humour from a trio we all came to love🥰. I do feel a bit sorry for EB watching clips that involve our humour ripping the ass out of other nations🥴. We have no qualms laughing at ourselves😁, but we thoroughly enjoy making fun of others😉.
I assure you that EB understands mickey taking as a sign of good natured fun. The man is a FIRM believer of mickey taking among friends & to make new friends, & how much easier it is to break down those walls by going so close to 'the line'. So don't worry about that. Check out some of EB's earlier reactions to Brit stand up (Frankie Boyle especially) for proof of this.
@@andrewmoss3681 I have been a subscriber of EB's since he was on 8k. He is the only Yank , apart from " Squirrel " who really gets our humour & understands our culture, so I need no lesson's in what he likes & dislikes. I was talking about the oppressive nature of American society where a man is scared to laugh at other nations for fear of being branded a racist or doxed by morons. p.s "liking " your own reply says volumes about a person😉.
@@hiramabiff2017 another excellent channel choice. I've been subscribed to both for a over a year now. Also glad we fans will all stand up for these guys 🤜🏻 Check out a lad called, Connor. His channel is called,
McJibbin
He gets our humour brilliantly as well. Have a great day & hope yourself (& anyone reading our 'fan geeking') is having a great day 😁👍🏻
Too bad a lot of Brits struggle to handle it when they're being laughed at by other countries...
@@danieleyre8913 agreed. I was always taught that if you can laugh at someone else, not only do you have to be able to make fun of yourself, but to take it as a joke when others crack jokes about you. It is such a shame so many forget that.
They were excellent and had immense balls. Chemistry on a perfect level. If you or anyone else are the butt of an offensive joke, embrace it. As an Irish man myself who is literally drunk or hungover 90% of the time and who orders 3 types of potato in one meal, throw your hands up and just accept who you are. If it's funny, it's funny. And always remember, making fun of one another is an important stage of overall ehhh... well forgot the last part haha
The Mexican Ambassador actually put in a formal complaint to the BBC over their so called misrepresentation of the Mexican people - obviously not snoring his head off whilst clutching his remote control. haha
@KomodoDragon lighten up for god sake, it’s only a satirical show!
You need to try Top Gear goes to Alabama
Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister
I'm Welsh so am quite used to having the piss ripped out of me. Nice to see that everyone else is getting it too.
I'm a Brummie, so I know what its like but with Clarkson I felt a little bit neglected if he didn't insult us.
@@paulhanson5164 😂🤣
lol welsh. sucks to be you
when they're picking on someone else they're leaving you alone jock
@@pimpmydiecastsdiecastandto3176 not sure who you're replying to but jocks are Scots.
James May - That's not Hitler, that car was made before indicators.
Jeremy Clarkson - Ok what is he saying here then?
James May - Take the third Reich.
You have to remember that these clips are taken from episodes spanning like almost 15 years. These 3 became the regular hosts in the very early 2000s and didn't leave until the last 5 years (I think, maybe a little over). So we are looking at jokes made upto 20 years ago and in the context of that time.
Some are not good regardless of the time (Clarkson SUPER UNNECESSARILY using the N word in that kids "Eenee, meenee, minee, mo" thing... use ANY other word dude, wtf?!?). And they should be called out for this. But many of them are just edgy jokes, the kind that have slowly been taken off our TV sets over the time since Top Gear started.
Is this a good thing? No, not at all for me. I am always of the opinion that if something offends me... I turn it off and move on with my life. You, and you alone, are responsible for what YOU get offended by. It is IMPOSSIBLE to never offend anyone, because everyone's threshold for offence is different. Why should my threshold be taken as the be all end all? Unless it's OBVIOUSLY offensive regardless, like using the n word I guess, then maybe it should be addressed.
But we need to toughen up a little. We've made MASSIVE progress in terms of dealing with the worst aspects of people. We've tackled the big things like overt racism, homophobia and the like. But we can NEVER fully eradicate these things, because it gets to a point where we are all on board about not using n word etc, we've all took on board these things and now it keeps getting pushed further and further. When does it stop? Because I guarantee you can find at least 1 person who is offended by anything really... We need to stop and say like "one person complained, carry on... one hundred thousand people complained, let's look into this". And I mean AT THE TIME, not 1 complained then it made the news and then after the face all these people complained about something that at the time they didn't have as much of a problem with. We need the people to complain on their OWN behalf, not everyone jump on it to complain on THEIR behalf.
Regarding the N-word furore, someone's already mentioned that those of us of a certain age were taught it as a nursery rhyme with no comprehension that it was offensive, however, on to the "controversy" itself.
In the broadcast episode Clarkson blatantly mumbled it on purpose, so all you heard was "uh-uh", but all those who chose to be offended were like, "He clearly mumbled the N-word!" not realising how ridiculous they were being. Of course, they weren't satisfied with being shown up as idiots so they went searching and found footage of other takes where he didn't mumble it quite as well, then kicked up a stink about that instead.
Anyone with common sense was going, "So, you're complaining that they broadcast the version which did the best attempt at not saying the word, using worse takes as evidence that they could have said it more clearly but didn't?"
How times have changed.
Furthermore apparently in the eyes of some, reading out a Nursery Rhyme written by somebody else in the 1800’s makes you a racist. At that rate, you might as well say that if someone buys a biography of Hitler, it makes them a Nazi!
I just find it bizarre that we live in a world where an out-take where he didn't quite mumble a word of a nursery rhyme enough created a massive controversy yet saying "imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican.... Urgh..." is completely fine.
Top Gear used to tiptoe on the line and they managed to keep themselves very close without going too far for quite a while but then they seemed to just go a little too far too often in the end. These guys were awesome in the day but even some of the stuff that didn’t make it to this haven’t aged well.
Notice how someone said that they said the dreaded n word and he immediately stopped laughing at everything after that ? This man is weak.
Unfortunately top gear now sucks as it’s all too pc. People nowadays are offended if you cough in front of them, absolute losers.
This - the original version of Top Gear - ended because Jezza once lost it after a hard day of filming and allegedly biffed a BBC producer when there was no hot meal ready for him. Now the three - Jezza, the hamster and Mr Slow aka as Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - do car journey related specials on Amazon Prime. Plus they do their own shows on Prime. James May did a cooking show introduced as, ‘I’m James May and I can’t cook’.
Jeremy bought a farm in the Cotswolds a few years ago, as you do if you have a few £m lying about. It’s a lovely area. Prince Charles has a house around there. Jezza’s farm manager retired and so Jezza decided he’d give farming a go as it can’t be that hard. It kind of started off with Jezza vs James and Richard having a bet whereby if Jezza lost the bet the other two could blow up his house. He lost. They blew up his house. The neighbours weren’t all that pleased - the noise for one - and he got a rep as a mad man, the result of which his planning applications for a farm shop and restaurant have suffered impairments. As you can imagine, the world and his wife turned up for the opening of the farm shop. Queues were huge. Cars got stuck in mud. His girlfriend (yes I was surprised), an ex-model, runs it. She’s very nice but pretty much left to her own devices. One of the restrictions on the planning permission was that the stock must come from within a few miles from the farm. His GF stocked the farm with mangos or pineapples, can’t recall which now. A few thousand miles away from the farm.
Typical Jeremy, he bought a Lamborghini tractor that had zillions of gears, went like a bomb but all the instructions were in ? German and the tractor was too big to fit through the farm gates and too tall to go in the barn. Plus, the British attachments wouldn’t fit on the hook thing on the back of the foreign tractor.
The star of the farm show is Kaleb who helped the previous farm manager and is now stuck with Jeremy. He’d never travelled further than the next town before his met Jeremy and didn’t see the need. In view of this, it’s surprising that he gives as good as he gets and Jeremy doesn’t get away with much. Jeremy never follows instructions despite knowing nothing about farming. Kaleb’a view of Jeremy’s ploughing skill was, “That’s about as straight as a roundabout’. Kaleb wanted to put up a sign saying the ploughing wasn’t his work as Kaleb has a farm contracting business.
Gerald is another star. He does ploughing and odd jobs, like repairing the stone walls. He’s a lovely man but you can’t understand a word he says as he has a very strong local accent. Jezza has whole conversations about what jobs to do next in the farm when he’s left none the wiser than when he started.
The farm has made a very little profit in a year - under £200. Can’t remember exactly. Anyway, it’s hilarious. You’d enjoy it.
Not quite the original version.
The 'Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe' rhyme does have the 'n' word in it and it dates back to the early 19th century.
Obviously the world has changed since so it was just Jeremy reciting the words as they were.
From an article:-
"Eenie, meenie, minie mo. Catch a nxxxxx by the toe. If he hollers, let him go. Eenie, meenie, minie mo." An alternate version "Catch a negro by his toe/ If he hollers make him pay/Twenty dollars every day."
The meaning: The meaning of this rhyme is rooted in the slave trade. There's an idea that it comes from slave selection or a description of what white slave owners would do if they caught a runaway slave. It was actually a part of a 2004 lawsuit against Southwest. The black plaintiffs in that case sued the airline for discrimination because a flight attendant had used the rhyme while urging them to take their seats. The jury did not side with the plaintiffs, and though they appealed, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the initial ruling.
Keep in mind many countries didn't use the N word like the US did decades ago. This is a word most people heard on old US movies or in US black comedies where they use the word to eachother. As a result even though other countries understand that it is a derogatory word, it isn't as taboo to say because we don't have the US style historic treatment of people who's ancestry is from Africa. Even in Australia while we have indigenous peoples, the N word doesn't apply to them (this is where we have our own taboo words I suppose) but I have heard them calling eachother that...probably because of movies and they think it'scool or something.
no the word nig**r is used by blacks to describe the underclass in their own race , an equivalent in ours would be scum etc ,, but to be fair it has to be a blanket ban on the use and blacks should be banned from using it also and no more of this that is our word bullshit
You stopped laughing when he had a go at Americans being rude 😆🦊
i miss these amazing legends i whish that we could we could have them back
I think you will love the Top Gear specials (available on RUclips), or The Grand Tour specials (available on Amazon).
The actual top gear challenges are excellent you would really enjoy them and you don't have to be a car enthusiasts to watch them.
people need sense of humor, make people smile and laugh c: i don't care if it's offensive, if it's funny, it's dang funny
The most offensive jokes are... Just sad people who get offended need to cancel everthing that offends them and one day someone will get offended by something the first offenders liked and cancel that...self-censorship will become a huge thing and the goverment won't have to censor shit cuz we will do it so good ourselfs by the end. can't we just get offended move along...The world won't stop spinning just cuz you got offended
Best top gear I liked was with the Royal Marine commandos on a beach landing, check that episode out
That was Instow in North Devon, which is a few miles away from where I live
The "sensible" road test for the Ford Focus, if I remember right. Being chased through a shopping centre by "a baddie in a Corvette". I nearly died 😂
theres years and years of great Top Gear shows, its a laugh a minute , damn i miss these lads i tell ya ( also Mr Clarkson has his own TV show called Clarksons Farm, thats really really funny)
Try their specials where they road trip across many countries across the world
@RichardVincent The Vietnamese road trip is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I watch it over and over.
I laughed way too much because your laugh is contagious. Those episodes were great
Nothing offensive in it tbh, the 2022 generation may disagree though
NOBODY that say's they're offended are actually offended, they just want special treatment and have an excuse to continue being a spoiled little brat.
The point of it all is nobody is sacred they are not bias as they take the PISS out of everybody even themselves. Ray K UK YNWA.
They were hilarious! The German equivalent of the Top Gear team turned up at the proving site for a shooting (no pun intended) and Jeremy turned up in Spitfire. (Two seater post-war trainer or some trick photography involved) RIP The gorgeous Sabine Schmitz who once accused Mr Clarkson of "Driving like a girl." Clearly a girl much unlike herself.
It's basically 3 middle aged talking to each other the way many do when they go to the pub, I love these 3 I know I shouldn't what with all the political correctness now, but God they're funny.
Fuck the political correctness, excuse my East London accent
Pahahaaa EB you need to watch a full episode of Top Gear (the old ones with Clarkson, Hammond &May) lol I know it’s NEVER been sold in USA. They did make 2 “USA Special Edition” knowing full well that USA will never see them
I thought your channel was electric beard and thought you said it wrong. How did I never realise it wasn’t electric.
The N word incident has always angered me I'm a good 20 years younger than Jeremy and that was a common children's rhyme when I was a child I used it before I understood what that word meant we are all products of our environment age and society but we learn as we grow Jeremy had a momentary slip of the tongue reciting a nursery rhyme that footage should have been destroyed but some low life little snake leaked it to make a quick buck embarrassing a good man and inciting hatred and conflict for his or her own gain.
He never said the N Word. It was Newspaper BS that made it out like he did. Clarkson and Andy Wilman have both come out and flat out denied that was what Clarkson said plus the segment was never aired.
It wasn't a "momentary slip of the tongue". It was clearly a planned joke hence how he intentionally coughed and cleared his throat during the n word part to censor the word. He clearly knew what he was saying.
@@Fireglo The fact is they chose not to air that part so that no one would get offended, therefore setting up a case on it is pointless.
@@mstrax0258 the recording leaked therefore they're still going to experience people's reaction to it. I understand they decided the joke was too far but they should have been more careful with the footage if they didn't want to face the backlash from it.
@@Fireglo it's even so mumbled you have to know the rhyme to hear it. As a non English speaker I really struggle to get it, and fr it's becoming like a taboo, it wasn't meant to be heard, so I really don't see a problem, it's just people want that way.
Jeremy and the 'Team' were entirely Outrageous, while giving out honest opinions by hundreds
It was one of the Funniest and most instructive TV Shops, sold all around the World. Then Jeremy allegedly punched some minion over a lack of food
The Replacement Top Gear is so Bland, Uninteresting, and a Ghost of it's Former Self that I have no interest in watching it. The PC and Woke BBC shot itself in the foot
Clarkson, Hammond and May were the Greatest, and the viewing figures for the Old Re-Runs prove that indisputeably.
Three middle aged guys accidentally became world famous stars by talking to each other like guys normally do when alone. A few years later... NO!!!! this just isn't allowed!
What isn't allowed? This format would still be on BBC if Clarkson hadn't fucked up. Unless you're referring to not being allowed to be racist on TV? I can't be alone in thinking that's a good thing, right?
The 'banter' is still happening on their Amazon show, although they're few and far between now.
Jeremy Clarkson can be savage when he wants to be. If you didn't know he got sacked for punching a member of the production team because they never got provided with proper food while away filming
i don't view the punching as an issue ,, rather than how many months / years had he been sorely needing someone to punch him ,, he had one job to sort out food for the channels biggest stars ,, he failed and was incompetent to be fair i'd have punched someone who's only job was to provide food after a days work the fact he didn't manage it speaks volumes about the incompetence he had in a high profile job
He didn't get sacked, his contract wasn't renewed. He's the only one of the 3 never to have been sacked from anything.
@@pimpmydiecastsdiecastandto3176 Ah, so you are a violent nutcase and proud of it. Understood.
Yes, one of the people who understands humour. I am not saying he never went too far. Humour like this is always going to offend someone. Most of it though? Look at the American stuff. Always going on about weight. He would easily pass as the fat, rude American. Going to a nature preserve? Always full of Americans looking at animals? I guess I wouldn’t want to go because nature preserves are always filled with Brit’s looking at animals and filming Americans.
I was actually sitting here watching the reruns. Jeremy cracks me up. I don’t get offended by what he says. I just can’t take him serious enough to be bothered. If there is a country that makes watching Top Gear (or any of them) mandatory? Otherwise just don’t watch if you feel you will be offended. (Yes, I know it’s hard for the Americans to mind their own business)
Actually - Clarkson didn't say the N-word. That is a takeout where you can actually hear him realize in the middle of the rime (which used to be a children's rime in the UK) that it wasn't OK so he goes "nurnmmmm" or whatever - ACTUALLY actively not stopping himself from saying what the old rime was - and then reshot it using "teacher" instead of the N-word in the clip which was broadcast. Also the "sloap" as a "slur" on Asians is kinda the "least offensive" one - and is meant as a "haha it's the same word as something which has an incline" - joke. It's sort of in the same category as calling an Irish person a potato... Yeah sure it's a "slur" but it's literally not that offensive. The Mexican clip with Hammond was however a bit more over the line. It seemed actually to be partly malicious... however afterwards they did go to the Mexican embassy and apologized for it, since they them selves could see it was over the line when they rewatched it - and the Mexicans repayed the favor by drinking them under the table in tequila - which is pretty epic :-D
That can happen when your "main stick" is being edgy... sometimes it goes a bit too far.
They also got in big trouble from the Argentinians for driving through Argentina with a number plate (license plate) "P982 FLK" as they thought it was a reference to the Falklands War (that we won with no help from anyone) in 1982
This is why old top gear was so successful. They always argued and made jokes and pushed the limmets of what they could broadcast.
@KomodoDragon Not a fan then 😂
Mexican? Argentinian? Truck driver? All three maybe? 😂
Offensive, wtf is offensive about any of these, I'm lost in this 'offensive' regard, like, what.
I have never understood being offended & somehow needing to alter the entire world around you, I mean, all life is a give & take situation.
Would you believe these were shown from 8 to 9 PM
God Top Gear got hilarious in the 2000's.
Although, most of these clips are not the funyy bits, but i would think that even of 99% of episodes you could clip, as I find the context in their show made the jokes work, some of the stupid things they had them do, like, you went along for the journey & they engineered that journey so each joke is built in the previous moments.
Oh fuck me sideways when they went to a caravan site with their own monstrosity creations & Clarkson set fire to his kitchen, I near pissed myself laughing, but to see that clip on it's own, I have seen, don't find it funny outside of the episode, or their own convertible in an automatic carwash, & they supposedly wreck the carwash, again, clip, not funny, but the episode, of fuck me, the Morris Minor episode, wtf was that hahaha.
Can’t remember Clarkson’s comment verbatim but wasn’t the complaint from the ambassador about how Clarkson said they hadn’t a good Olympic team because all the best runners and jumpers had made it over the Mexico border Wall into America.
Something completely different but related to react to would be rainbow (uk children's series) does top gear. Not sure if rainbow aired in america??? But equivalent to sesame Street
I guess the American comment caught a nerve ??
No, not at all. It wasn't that funny as it rang true for the most part.
@@TheEclecticBeard Thats OK then.... Its just you looked a bit off from the comment. But you do take it all in your stride which is why its great viewing.... Thank you...
Mexicans are the coolest people on earth 🌍
I have to say, I do'n't mind edgy jokes, but I've always thought the Mexican stuff was going a little far.
Yeh old top gear where Jeremy Clarkson, James and Richard Hammond. They had no filter. They can say wat ever they want and not get in trouble for it.
When the world has no place for Top Gear or Ricki Gervaise or Jimmy Carr, then I want no place in that world. Lonf live offence!
But the eeny meeny rhyme should say 'nipper', not the 'n' word.
You've caught a nipper on your toe because you dipped your foot in the water.
It doesn't make the slightest sense 'the other way'.
The N-word thing was actually an outtake, IIRC, that some members of the press found out about.
Describing something as “offensive” isn’t any kind of valid criticism.
In the clip you didn't notice.... is @ 6.19...
Jeremy says ini minie miney mo...
catch a N**** by his toe
If you want to review Top Gear - there is only 1 show you need to do - Alabama Road Trip - ruclips.net/video/pKcJ-0bAHB4/видео.html
It's a very old and still popular when I was a child children's rhyme that was used as a way of choosing the odd one out at school that happens to have the line "catch a n##### by the toe" in it. Jeremy used it to decide which car in the clip but left the n word out. But because everyone of our age knows the rhyme people decided to get offended even though he never said the word because we all knew what it was if you see what I mean. Pathetic if you ask me especially as certain people can and do use the word still all the time but you just cannot be white and even not say it !
That stope and rhyme clip were not offensive at all... Only to people with bad intentions who change context and words.
i really don't get it he says offensive things about literally everything and everyone but the line is the N word? no just like u said yourself previously u dson't have to take it offensive, the N's call eachother N all the time so fk that its just as funny as anything else in here
