That Ferrari joke is hilarious
YOU RACIST BIGOT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thecarkid 11 he was joking...
@Thecarkid 11 Mate don't come to England. You'd think we're all racist homophobes with the amount of sarcasm us Brits splur out
@@Chackz0 woooosh
@Thecarkid 11 woooosh
Top Gear will die without Clarkson
that's true hope u enjoy your day i am never watching top gear i will watch top gear usa
It's past its usefulness as a car show. A long time ago it used to be about the cars but these days it's just a few lip service shots of some cars and the rest of it is how much bullshit and smacktalk Clarkson can give the other presenters. It's exploded in popularity recently because it's just become quasi-reality entertainment for mass morons. There are better shows on the internet for car enthusiasts. Top Gear can rest in peace.
he made Top Gear from scratch so yes
James Sharkey And???
***** who fires a maker of a show stupid bbc stupid tony hall #bring backclarkson
"430 Special Needs" hahahaha that is the funniest thing I've heard this year
Fr I’m absolutely howling
i never heard him say that though... .. stil funny, and why apologize? he's a journalist shouldn't he be honest?
I just went looking for this comment after hearing that. That's too fuuny
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“There’s a slope on it”
“Mhmm yess it is definitely lower on that side”
I don't get why people got offended by jeremy describing a bridge. There just happened to be a man on the bridge he was describing
And Hammond's reply was serious too
@@justasnowball That was the joke, it could be taken both ways. the fact that hammond was in on it shows that i wasnt a racist remark it was literally a play on words
@@UltraHylia he knows, hes kidding f**king idiot
that's actually hilarious, but unfortunately the BBC has no patience for racist humor
Wow that Ferarri must have been very offended
William Coles yup
Spéciale needs hahahahhahahahahah
lol, it looks offended to me hahahahha
*Ferrari
That ferrari did look ugly tho
This little "incident" just lost BBC millions of dollars. They deserved it.
I thought in the united kingdom of englandland they used pounds and shillings and shit.
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart we don't use shillings we got rid of those fucking decades ago we use pounds and pence
Joe Key used the American money when referring to the UK, so he sounds american (I don't know if he is or not) Americans are famous for being ignorant of the world, this what we who enjoy humour call a joke. It's a complicated thing, some people get it most of them don't.
lol
Debate
430 specail needs
Thats Jeremy for you, you love him or you hate him😂
Dude people need to stop being offended for other people
He's like marmite
It’s just a joke though isn’t it, it’s funny, bbc needs to loosen up a little
I'm sort of special needs but I still find this funny
@@sporkyboijohn how does "sort of" special needs work, if I may ask?
Top gear is no longer enjoyable without Clarkson
They just smashed the most random group of people together and called it a day. I lost massive respect for BBC that day. Shame on them, he is a comidian, he makes jokes, deal with it. Be it the Falkland war or the nazi party, his jokes are gold.
without Hammond, Clarkson and May , BBC Top gear means nothing
JAGUAR JO true
2 years later, you have been proved correct. Literally nobody watches or knows it anymore
@@lewish6919 the bbc are probably so jealous about the grand tour lol
Yeah it sucks now
Why in my bbc theres no top gear??
When will people learn the difference between actual racism and racist jokes?
Ginger Biscuit- He was sacked for assault- and rightly so.
Racist jokes are actual racism, they are part of the story of racism that allows stupid backward opinions to remain and reside in social consciousness.
Clarkson is a racist and sexist bully, the physical assault was the last straw. I would like to see more sympathy for the guy that was on the receiving end of the attack, noone seems to remember he's a real person who was punched at work.
I do not think Clarkson was raciest at all, he discriminated equally! He made jokes about Africans, Asians, Russians, Germans, Mexicans, French, and even me as an American! In my opinion if you can not laugh at yourself you need help. I personally am half German and half Polish, and I live in the United States... let the jokes begin.
+Ginger Biscuit, Seriously? How is a racist joke not racist? IT HAS THE WORD RACIST IN IT!!!!
School Run Super Mum I agree with you. Jokes are also used to bully people. Clarkson is a bully and he loves to feel witty and funny, and making fun of others to get laughs is so easy.
Come on. The Ferrari 430 “Special Needs”. 😂. Now that’s funny
Me: I'll watch top gear
BBC:*fires Clarkson,Hammond and May*
Me: "Well now I'm not doing it"
Yes new top gear is do bad
Thank God for grand tour
L K it wasn’t funny the first time you typed this under a comment just like it’s not funny now under the fiftieth you imbecile.
Watch Grand Tour.
James and Richard weren’t fired, they left because they refused to do the show without Clarkson
people take clarkson to seriously, he is a comedian
4 years and no one commented this underrated comment?
TruthSeeker 1453 🤣
Hhehhahhae
Very true
Yes
People are so butt-hurt these days.
Look it's a dirty viking on RUclips
You think physical violence is ok?
@@limecat1986 no, about how people cry over nothing
Xeno yes
British people in particular.
Clarkson gets replaces by Chris Evans
Me: How dare you stand where he stood???
They replaced an actual journalist with a celebrity
The one simply cannot replace JRJ trio, the real "top gear" continues on in lé Grand Tour, via Amazon Prime

BBC: *fires Clarkson*
May and Hammond: *follow him out the door*

3 years later they are dying without them.
Ikr should of never fired him. Jeremy was just being himself and now that's the BBC biggest mistake.
Did you.. just reply to your own comment?
@@thatextraguy948 his genius is almost frightening.
@@thatextraguy948 I think he just made a second point that he forgot to add to his first reply to Tyler.
Jeremy clarkson is a legend, they can take the job, but they cant kill him.
i dont think the bbc is trying to kill him. i think they fired him for physical assault
@@rockhardcelery1214 they did but personally i think that’s a mistake on their part, jeremy was just being himself and was attacked by over sensitive man babies
@@nathan-ls8yw im pretty sure clarkson was the sensative man-baby in this scenario. he attacked someone for not having hot dinner available at like 1am after going to a pub.
@@nathan-ls8yw Whatever happened, you don't physically assault a coworker. That is grounds to be fired straight away, especially considering the producer didn't theow a punch at him. He's lucky he wasn't charged for assault.
Sigma male grindset rule 12838474489372772266:
Physically assault your coworkers for food
That Ferrari joke was the first time I’ve actually laughed in a few years 😂
The BBC need to take Jeremy with a grain of salt. i did not find any of his jokes offensive, and no i'm not racist.
Davis Crispo But you condone violence?
kevin heming no but i would also be pretty pissed if my colleges got food after a hard days work and i didnt.
Davis CrispoStill meaning you condone violence. There was no hot food for ANYONE because,as I said earlier,Clarkson and his colleagues were boozing for 3 hours after filming when they should have been back at the hotel in time to get a hot meal before the kitchens closed.No doubt the pompous Clarkson expected the staff to stay behind until he decided to turn up."Pissed off" or not,this gave him no right to subject another colleague to a verbal and physical assault.
kevin heming alrighty then
Davis Crispo
I always find it hilarious how people who aren't being insulted can't give a shit. It reminds me of the republicans in america. They want to keep their benefits but they want to axe all of those that don't apply to them. It's hilarious.
the F430 Speciale needs. Lol thats fuckin genius.
This shit is funny. People love this. Granted making fun of people with special needs is frowned upon, I don't feel that was a direct attack on anyone.
fucking genius is right, that's gold
Ikr
Deniedstingray yeah ikr
ikr
He was hit. If he “attacked” as they so claim why was this matter not taken to court
Because the Victim didnt want to sue him, but Jeremy knew what he did was wrong and apologized.
@@multifayzer8130 The listed abunch of very VERY minor incidents next to a "big" one makes me wonder how big of a incident it was even if he did act improper.
When you accidentally touch your cousin
James May: "Does that mean he's not coming on then?"
Underrated, I laughed out loud!
if BBC stopped apologizing people would stop expecting apologies.
I am Tai Lopez...
Tai motherfukkin Lopez! Whether you're him or not I never knew that guys name was Tai all I knew was "knowledge"
Correct, i provide knowledge to my children.
Nicely said
I'd be pissed too, working all day and no food later that night.
+Chester Copperpot How about trying to learn some facts about the incident. As "Low Gunfire" said 6 months ago - "The producer did do his job booking a hotel restaurant for the presenters so they could eat after filming. But Jeremy stayed behind and went to a pub for 2 hours to get drunk. When Jeremy finally came to the hotel restaurant - at nearly midnight - it was predictably shut because the cooks had gone home for the night. Then Jeremy decided to be stupid and took his silly and unjustified anger out on the producer."
Puts things in a rather different light, don't you think?
Source?
Daniel Danicon em..... "low gunfire" ?
best joke in my life, took me a few seconds tho
@@Dani-it5sy
The news articles surrounding that controversy.
now, top gear is probably the most dead show on bbc. because everyone is watching TGT...
Id rather watch paint dry then watch the new top gear
Kontrol Krazy couldn’t have said it better myself
@@parsakondori bbc do deserve to lose money they did lose
I rather play animal crossing everyday then to watch the new top gear
@@kontrolkrazy4853I’d rather watch a video with nothing on it rather than watch new top gear
The F430 speciale-needs 😂😂 I’m dying 1:45
After Richard and James had left Top Gear, then Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc took over the show. Chris Evans quit Top Gear aften 1 season, and then Chris Harris came in. I really miss Clarkson, Hammond and May. The new Top Gear is extremely boring.
I know.
They have their own show now
@@bluefox9436 What's the name of the show ?
@@qvwu5541 The grand tour
Blue Foxy oh i finished that one too, I thought they were filming another show. Thanks anyways
Speciale needs... what a fucking legend lmao
ahhahahaha yeah!
Ferrariking_ max I have down syndrome and that was funny.
1:54 that's not an F430
Every single one of those jokes was amazing and he never should have had to apologize for a single one
Exactly
Clarkson is what made Top Gear, now amazon have him.
"430 special needs" omg lmfao 😂😂😂😂
Jeremy represented every pissed off middle aged british guy (except he had a sense of humour) which was why he was so popular. Top gear won't be the same without him I hope this doesn't end his tv career
He's hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire
@@putikeswarasudarsono the grand tour included
@@scuckplexity well that's pretty much dead now
@@DaxanDaxterI'm saying the main show is finished
@@DaxanDaxter they're just doing specials now
1:35 I love how Hammond quickly tries to save Clarkson.
nah he was leaning into the joke
it's scripted, but yes a clever play on words
I believe he was fired having assaulted the producer. Not for being racist.
Yes, since he isn't racist it was the assault
He didnt assault the producer, that's andy wilman one of his best friends. He "assaulted" a stage hand.
@@heath7766 What exactly did he do?
@@aotoda486 just one punch
@@ericgu9036 what is that supposed to mean? If I punched anyone in my workplace (ofc depending on the circumstances) I wouldn't be surprised to be fired. Now ofc this does raise the question under _what_ circumstances did this happen, but neither Clarkson nor the BBC seem very intent on revealing much about it.
who cares
they could all host their own show on you tube and make good money, not let those big tv companies get any of the money
That is probably the ideal solution. It would be heaven for all of his supporters. Clarkson Insults and cheap shots 24/7!!!! But at least all those on the receiving end could respond. I would prefer it if the producer was a boxer or martial arts expert though.
They say it could produce a billion pound of income for itv if they went there
or... say... amazon :-D
Lol you predicted the future
They all make around 10X on amazon than the bbc
Guess What!... #TheGrandTour
@Wolf4077 He's back?
I can’t believe still five years ago that Clarkson was fired after 20 and a bit years... We’ll miss you in top gear, and I hope that the grand tour continue growing.
Me 2. Long live the trio
It's really cool that Amazon embraced Clarkson and let him be totally who he is!
I like how at 1:46 the photo isnt even a F430
That’s definitely an f430.
The picture after it isnt
Meno Your absolutly right and notice the carpet under the cars. One is tan and the other one is red. Good catch
Just look at the front nose of the 2 Ferraris Look at the lines by the headlight and look at the bumper on both, Def different
first they showed the 430 then the 599XX
not going to watch it without clarkson. rip tg
@104846863505508901556 Good for you. You'll soon forget your "hero".
kevin heming awee another person hurt over a few racist words you can hear at any given moment on the street. If you don't like him get off this video's comment section because its obviously gunna have people who are mad or upset that he's fired
Blake Miller When will people like you realise that it isn't Clarkson's "listen to me I'm so outspoken and untouchable" persona that is the problem.It's the fact that he thinks it's acceptable to verbally then physically attack a colleague because he can't get his way over a situation which he caused.So people are "gunna" be "mad or upset that he's fired".Why? Are YOU hurt?Surely you can find something else to do for an hour when Top Gear would have been on.You seem to have no problem with racism and are probably racist yourself but you also seem to condone violence.Maybe that is what's wrong with this country today,sadly.
Like I said before, get over your protected childhood and come back to reality. I'd much rather live in a perfect world too with no racism but its not going to happen so maybe we should get over it and move on with our lives instead of shaming a man by saying "you shouldn't have used the n word" you've probably used it yourself. And yes in the comment section of this video there will obviously be people upset about him being fired.
kevin heming and there was not any instance of me "condoning violence" he did act childishly, but either way I still liked him and it will be a shame to watch top gear with different presentors
2015.......
2016.......
2017.......
2018.......
2019 - let’s recommend this now
2020 too
top gear is dead now. like dead dead.
that's some fucking bull shit.
Yes Clarkson is that with spades.
+Gary turner lol. nice one!
+Mitch M. Yeah, it was only a fucken punch big deal....
+Piro Yoda I reaken I want the show back
Yeah, but he had already been in trouble for punching Piers Morgan in the face.
I used to watch top gear because of jeremy and Richard and James
Aaaaaaannnnd with that bombshell, back to the studio!
Wait, there is no more studio.
"physical violence, accompanied by verbal abuse is cross the line"
a very creative phrase indeed
This is going to kill the show.

4 years later hey bbc still happy that u lost jerremy ? he is laffing all the way to the bank XD
"Spesiale Needs" was funny when it aired and still kills me today.
Today when everybody "must" be politically correct and not to offend anyone Top Gear humor was like a fresh breeze... I don´t give a shit if a joke offends someone. Jokes are meant to do that! I´d be sort of happy if my nation or anything is mentioned on Top Gear, I can make fun of myself...
Top gear was too anti PC to be on the BBC anyway. Many higher ups wanted clarkson off for years. Thats why they released the 'n' word footage even though he never says it. And begged the producers to never release it. But they release it anyway. The BBC is a very corrupt corporation.
So if you or a loved one got physically attacked would you defend the attacker because to criticism them would be “too pc”?
Xeno we’re talking about jokes here not physical violence, if you don’t find the “should of been called the 430 speciale needs” funny then you’re a softy. My cousin has autism and even I was howling at this.
@@MrSteveo114, thought this joke was about Asians.
@@mukhammejan8607 what?
I still don't get it about the "Slope" racist joke. Anyone can...you know... tell me :/
+jasonteow It's a term used to describe some people of Asian descent, based on the perceived "slope" of their eyes. So when Jeremy said there was a slope, he was at face value referring to the structure of the bridge, but also referring to the Asian man walking along it at the time.
Tuneman1984 oooo I see, thanks :D
Tuneman1984 but the man walking was james may and his not asian
Mutant Zombie Left-hand side to the furthest was an Asian farmer. You’re blind.
I thought he was talking about the actually bridge being uneven.
Top Gear Clarkson : *"Oh no..,"*
Grand Tour Clarkson : *"Anyway..."*
This aged amazingly, since The Grand Tour is making more than Top Gear is now :) Jeremy is my spirit animal.
I'm asian and I've never heard of the joke, sloped. And it seems, well, from here at least,he was just talking literally. I guess? Weird things he have to say sorry to. :/
How it can be racist term? Sorry I’m really don’t get it. Which part is that racist??
@Mike Nguyen it's like if I said a racist thing like "whitey". Just think how you'd feel if I said that to you and you will know how black people would feel if you called them the n word.
@@visibletonone.superiortoal2033 I wouldn't care if you were telling a joke on a comedy show. I'd either find it funny or ignore it because I actually pick my battles. Of all the problems a person can face, a mean joke isn't worthwhile.
@@coldstonecanc3rgang994 yea but depends from people how they gonna get it
Clarkson was a LEGEND, supported well by Hammond and May, all 3 were bloody brilliant!
Biggest mistake in the world ever
I stoped watching top gear since then. Its was my favorite show.
How did the newsreader not burst into laughter after the "Speciale Needs" joke 😂
he said "with regret", oh I bet he's regretting it now
Did they have to apologize to Ferri for the car being called a simpleton, or to all simpletons for being associated with Ferri... Those poor simpletons, already got it hard in life...
The producer was probably a pillock
A massive one at that
I am a loss. Great fan of the show and all 3 presenters. Clarkson brought the show back from the brink of death, and gave it a new lease of life with the help of hampster and captain slow. OK he shouldnt have hit the guy, but with whats being going on in his personal life recently no wonder he snapped. People are also forgetting the fact that itwas just a hit and the victim drove himself to ER plus the victim didnt report the incident, it was clarkson that reported it to the BBC. (maybe the victim didnt think there was any point and didnt hold a grudge) i mean it was partly his fault as its every producers responsibility to make sure presenters are looked after. Hats off to hammond and may. love the way you step up and stick by your friend. All 3 bring a uniqueness to the show, and i just love the challenges. I suggest they take the show and walk to another broadcaster, sure wont be called TopGear but hey all us fans will know it is. Good luck guys
***** Also it was Clarksons fault there was no hot food as due to not returning to the hotel when he should have but staying drinking for three hours and getting back after the kitchen was closed is no ones fault but his own.But I suppose the pompous,oafish, bully thought the staff should hang around till he decided to return for his meal and it was okay to then assault the producer in a fit of childish temper.He was way past his sell by date and I'm glad he's gone.
DaDonut paradise Ok yes clarkson has alot of social problems but i see every reason why clarkson should be mad..i mean serving cold food to a duo that saved top gear from the brink of death?..i would punch the producer any day and time i dont get no respect..Top gear will be shit without hampster captain slow or the gorilla...BBC is gonna loose money after this..i gurantee it
junior23452 And why was the food cold?Because pompous arrogant Clarkson went drinking for three hours instead of going to the hotel in time for hot food.I think you're the one with social problems by condoning violence.So the BBC is going to lose money.Then let them show commercials like all the other channels and save US money from the licence fee.
-DaDonut Paradise-- I like the racist angry part about him, You do not watch the show. Anyone with Donut in their name is not someone that loves cars, I can tell that right now. Your just sad that no one likes you and your mom over fed you as a child so you would shut your stupid mouth!
***** It is if the STAR says it is. Oisin Tymon is nothing, he needs to go die!
People are so fucking easy to offend these days , makes me sick
You're so right. I can't disagree.
Racism and sexism are easy to look past. Not to mention physical violence. The fuck is wrong with you? This guy was out of order with so many things he said about women and different ethnic groups. His show may have been entertaining, but he was offending people.
Hauler24 Jesus Christ toughen up. Theyre car guys and they cracked low brow jokes. Enough of this professional victimhood bullshit. I thought it was bad in the US but apparently theres waaay bigger pussies in the UK.
True, people being so easy to offend, in fact, offends me.
0:55 MRS OBAMA GET DOWN
Ppl are so sensitive these days
Clarkson is just a true comedian BBC couldn’t keep
All three of them are entertaining and Top Gear won’t be the same without them.
Jeremy attacc
Jeremy protecc
But most importantly..
Jeremy sacc
Top gear isn't that good without Jeremy, Hammond and May!It won't be a good show without them! And I think stig quits? Welp this show is ruined without the guys
1:42 i know i should'nt have but i laughed alot
The 430 Speciale Needs makes me laugh every time
Looool The Grand Tour is far better than Top Gear. They all seem more genuine now.
Plus that thing on the Falkland Islands was a complete accident and he didn’t mean to offend anyone cos that’s how the plate came when he bought the car
The 3 were the best in top gear . What Jeremy clarkson did is nothing because no matter what he do top gear will not continue without him
So what? He was the best
"Popular show dies after presenter is fired for being funny"
he's sounds more than my kindergarten teacher telling someone off for saying shut up
I haven't watched top gear since he's fired.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE LOVE HIM!
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT
Why is this coming in my recommendations after 4 years?!
Notice how now top gear isn't doing well/ isn't nice to watch
Have not watched top gear since this the boys made this show
430-special-needs made my day
If i dont see these three in top gear i am not watching this until they get back
It’s been almost 7 years!!? It’s crazy how time flies
Top Gear was one show I would work every week, and look forward to. Because I genuinely found it hilarious and laughed constantly.
Not seen a single episode since they left. It just feels so cringe with the new hosts!
BRING BACK THE ORANG UTANG
So the producer or director didn't know better than not to put these in the series. Wasn't it revised or something before put on tv ?
Absolute legends, the slope one gets me everytime.
ok but the ferrari joke was amazing
Guess BBC was getting tired of apologizing ;)
It's time for BBC to stop sucking dick of all the various butthurt minorities in existence and grow a pair.
Roy Rki well said
Roy Rki Aren't you forgetting about the main issue here? He punched and verbally assaulted his producer on the job!!!!!! That's OK with you?
dreadnaught90 Why are we not blaming the producer? Shouldn't have been messing with Jeremy... he should apologize for not doing as Jeremy said
*****
Hope this comment is just tongue in cheek.
Well, this at least did lead to The Grand Tour :)
May, Hammond and Clarkson then started the grand tour with amazon, amazing
He hurt the cars feelings. I suggest Clarkson writes an apology letter to the cars family
He is no racist...I'm sure he may be stubborn all the time but he is no racist.the first supposed racist comment he made was the whole iny miny miney no thing. That was a recording that was never aired. The second time,he did not know that slope was a racial slur...apologies if I may for the people from that area that read this....again he isn't racist........apart from the first incident though.I'm not offended by him...and I'm black
Laughing so hard at the BBC in 2020
Can’t believe this was already 5 years ago
I laughed when he said: It's should've been called the 430 speciale needs
