@Yutube Lurker I've heard it said that the Russian sense of humor is the best in the world, honed it as it is by roughly an entire history of suffering. Of course, most Russian comedy doesn't make it to the Anglosphere, so we miss it.
Have you seen Top Gear and the Amazon show "The Grand Tour"? I wouldn't call them sophisticated, but their vacations / specials and car builds are some of the best TV out there with plenty of good humor.
We lived the entire series, but this part as well as his hysterics with BIM had us in stitches. I could watch this over and over and still Crack up every time. Can't wait to see what his Man in America produces!
Too bad he didn't bring his robot friend to help him out. James: "RoBoHon, Can you tell us about Momotaro?" RoBoHon: "Shijo-Ohashi is a bridge representative of Kyoto that crosses the Kamo River over Shijo Street. It is also called Gion Bashi."
The ancient Japanese swords used as prime weapon (tachi) usually have 80 cm long blades. At that time the average height of Japanese men was around 150cm. It should be long.
It's entirely sobering that humanity strives to immortalize its own existence through iconic depictions of history, only for a silly goober to come along and laugh about penis.
James may stages of laugh: 1. Start to giggle. 2. Momentarily composes himself and tries to say the correct line 3. Wheezes with enough energy to reignite a dead star 4. Starts laughing like a goose being stepped on and if it's really funny starts doing the "HE HE HEHEHE"
The reason why is this so funny to me is of all the trio, James is the last one to laugh at cultural differences he’s usually the one to take them very seriously
James' laugh, at any given point, is.. Just James. Just darned laugh when you hear it. May, you are a TRUE legend. And then there's Hammond crashing a bike into his garage. Clarkson: Hammond, do it again and annoy him. (Richard, you're wonderful. Don't listen to the Orange-ly, Original Orangutan; please do to annoy James though)
Heb jij ooit zo'n lachwekkend standbeeld gezien?😂

It's funny I guess, but when's the new episode of grand tour coming out?
I wanna see what he thinks of the Duc de Richelieu statue in Odessa, Ukraine...

He may be old in body, but he's still a 12 year old boy in spirit. Never change, James.
Most guys are when it comes to the word penis or if someone farts. We can't help it. It's embedded in our chromosomes.
He will live a long life.
