As an Alabaman myself, here's a tip if you do this challenge yourself: If the gas station looks like it hasn't seen any renovation since the early 70s then it's best to just keep on moving.
Yeah, if it looks like one from those horror movies, you shouldn’t be too surprised if the people from „the hills have eyes“ or leatherface himself turns up.

The one who came up with this challenge severely underestimated the trio's ability to offend one the of most sensitive state of an already sensitive country lol
If you notice, she never said that in the video. That was something they added after those customers showed up. No one threw anything at them. They were acting
I love the fact that these three did a show in a literal war zone in Iraq and made it out safe and sound, yet it took only a few minutes for them to be run out of Alabama in fear for their lives.
And the worst was Argentina. The trio drove around in sports cars and unexpectedly, Jeremy felt like he and the convoy are not welcome there since his car had a license plate “H982 FKL” and there’s no way he can conceal or change the plate since it referenced Britain fighting Argentina to claim the Falkland Islands and Argentina lost. And also the trio were treated unfairly. First, the ferry dropped them in a beach with alot of stones and they struggled to get across it but they did. Second of all, they drove in Patagonia but that night, the convoy encountered an angry mob. There were raw eggs followed by rocks being thrown at the vehicles smashing the windows. The trio were forced to leave their cars behind. At the end, they made it away from harm into Chille.

The people that got angry at those slogans enough to start attacking the crew are definitely also the type of people that would call people 'snowflakes' and not notice the hypocrisy.

I remember when a friend asked me if I watched this episode of Top Gear. I said I hadn't watched Top Gear in ages, and he told me it was more like a documentary or a movie - not the typical studio stuff with car reviews. He described this part of the episode and said it was brilliant. This is where Top Gear changed for the better with the specials and evolved into the show it became. We must thank the Gas Station owner and 'The Boys' for this moment.
@@Samsok013 Well, yeah. Law enforcement have to actually care about how they get to a scene without crashing into others, even with the lights to pull everyone over to the side while responding. Bet those rednecks probably hauled ass all the way there.

@@sean8102Stronger than any US marine 🫡 I’m also a non-straight southerner- ace, intersex by some definitions since I have PCOS(which doesn’t help whatsoever because more body hair and the like + being uninterested in traditional “feminine” things like wearing makeup and shaving everything but my head), and a demigirl because something something I’m like a girl but they had to make a bunch of substitutions in the recipe, she/her in the way a boat is, woman a little to the left, etc. It’s hard enough being some flavor of woman but uninterested in dating or having kids when that’s considered A Woman’s Whole Reason For Existing by a lot of folks here, but I also look and dress juuuust gnc enough that I’ve had a woman in a Chili’s bathroom assume I was a trans girl and tell me “Sir, this isn’t your bathroom”. All that said, it’s definitely loads better in the part of Texas I live in, especially now that I’m free from the ironic hell that was Christian highschool. For example when I mistakenly came out of the closet once, only MOST of the people present insinuated I should kms/was a crime against god for existing. And I’ve only had sporadic outright threats made against me. Needless to say I still do not feel safe being open about my identity offline… The fewer targets I put on myself, the better, as much as I’d love to wear at least ace flag stuff. I get picked on enough for enjoying bugs and my Kirby hyperfixation but at least with that i can be like L + ratio + fuck you the little guys outside are cool and vital to the survival of this planet + funny orb game appeals to various ages for various reasons + people can like different things than you literally just shut up + no bitches
I guarantee you, people in the South have been shot and killed for much less. This wasn't staged, you do NOT go into the deep South and think this sort of idiotic stunt is "funny."
My wife grew up in Alabama and the family joke was that the states only reason for existing was to make Mississippi look good. Or maybe it was the other way around. Either way, the point is , someone has to be the bottom . The sad part is just how proud they seem to be of it
It's a Blues state, not a country music state. If you're afraid of Black People, then sure- Mississippi is terrifying.. but if you've ever been to Mardi Gras you know it's safer than Alabama.
I think most of all Jeremy tearing up the dirt part of the lot is what sent her over the edge. You can hear her telling the others about how mad she is about it.
As an Alabamian I can confirm this video was in no way falsified. They looked to be heading north from Mobile and those Pride gas stations tend to be in really seedy towns (I can say that, I'm from a seedy town) along that route.
Those folks down there gave those Top Gear folks a very rude welcome. Most folks in Alabama don’t behave that way, considering I’ve been to Mobile, Gulf Shores, and Foley…
@@carwrtr1 Trust me any "friendly" population will turn against you if you push their buttons. This is embarrassing, maybe, but in no way hard to believe.
@@odeclasdjent7831 Most people would just ignore it. Since in heavily populated places people tend to become more isolated from those around eachother. I know it sounds strange but it's a well documented phenomenon. Much the same way many people in flats will barely know their neighbours if at all, whereas people living on estates will have good acquaintance, even friendship with their neighbours. I'm no expert but I'd imagine it's because it's the sea of faces. Being around so many people means they all just blur into one globular mass. Humans don't naturally live in multi-million populated metropolis'. Maybe it's a way for the brain to cope, as its an overload of information
This is TV gold At the time I was suffering mental health issues but this although hair raising was absolutely hilarious to watch classic classic top gear
Jeremy: I'm doing something I'd never thought I'd do, I'm running for the border. Ralof: Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that Alabamian ambush...
Spent half of my life in Alabama and this is accurate, except for the idea that crossing the state border will save you. In reality, any rural area for several states in any direction will deliver similar results. Even Florida, the beaches of Florida are their own, completely different thing but go 30 minutes inland, anywhere outside of the larger cities, it's the south on meth, riding an alligator.
Even in liberal California, if you go far enough inland it becomes the Bible Belt of the west. Lately, San Bernardino county has been talking about breaking off from Cali to become it's own red state
Don't let this man fool you. Everyone in the city is on meth too! I live in Springfield MO and my entire apartment complex is meth addicts. I know because they hit their bubbles right in front of me...tried turning them into stoners...failed...
"Now, are y'all gay looking to see how long to get beat up in a hick town?" "I'm not gay, I'm married. I've got three children" Jeremy just trying to save himself and scarper earlier than others lol
I love how the woman threatens to bring "the boys" because she's offended about "man love rules OK" and then 6 shirtless men in the back of a pickup truck turn up at the "ride with pride" petrol station. Guess that the US for you🤔😂
And.. to make it even "better" the Black Hawk Down OST they played is called "Synchrotone - Minutes before disaster" since that part of music was played when the Somalia Militia shot down one of the Black Hawk. Hhhaa
As someone who got into a fight in Alabama I'm beginning to think it's less about what political statement is being made and more about just giving someone a reason to fight. I managed to start a 20-person brawl between two families and almost got arrested in Huntsville by openly stating that I found Despicable Me only "marginally" more entertaining than Frozen.
@@jose.a.a.a Well I mean, if you really wanted to get technical about it, men and women can ride with pride. I just thought it was highly coincidental that this phrase appeared here, given the set of circumstances.
Which also reminds me of an early scene in Smokey and the Bandit where Burt Reynolds, after evading a highway patrolman by hiding behind a building, looks at the camera, smiles, and rolls away. Part of me suspects the line and camera shot was intended to parody that scene.
"I really do believe that in parts of America now people have started to mate with vegatables". Meanwhile... "I went on the internet and I found this".

Each separate occasion was a different truck, a different Bubba or Billy-Bob or Good Ol Boy Christian Man or what-have-you, perfectly convinced in the utter righteousness of slamming my brains into the pavement or peppering my backside with birdshot. This sh*t ain't no joke, man. You don't roll up into East Podunk, Alabama, with anything anti-Southern unless you literally have a death wish...
Both of you are correct. God knows what would have happened to May or Hammond. Plus they probably saved Top Gear. If May or Hammond would have gotten killed then for sure they were going to come after Jeremy hard.

This seems like another Top Gear stunt overly dramatized for television's sake, but the OG trio confirmed in a live Q&A that this segment was genuinely the most dangerous one they've done.
Another overly professional and incredibly staged drama that the BBC used to excel at and now we have bugger all!

I’m also a non-straight southerner- ace, intersex by some definitions since I have PCOS(which doesn’t help whatsoever because more body hair and the like + being uninterested in traditional “feminine” things like wearing makeup and shaving everything but my head), and a demigirl because something something I’m like a girl but they had to make a bunch of substitutions in the recipe, she/her in the way a boat is, woman a little to the left, etc. It’s hard enough being some flavor of woman but uninterested in dating or having kids when that’s considered A Woman’s Whole Reason For Existing by a lot of folks here, but I also look and dress juuuust gnc enough that I’ve had a woman in a Chili’s bathroom assume I was a trans girl and tell me “Sir, this isn’t your bathroom”.
All that said, it’s definitely loads better in the part of Texas I live in, especially now that I’m free from the ironic hell that was Christian highschool. For example when I mistakenly came out of the closet once, only MOST of the people present insinuated I should kms/was a crime against god for existing. And I’ve only had sporadic outright threats made against me. Needless to say I still do not feel safe being open about my identity offline… The fewer targets I put on myself, the better, as much as I’d love to wear at least ace flag stuff. I get picked on enough for enjoying bugs and my Kirby hyperfixation but at least with that i can be like L + ratio + fuck you the little guys outside are cool and vital to the survival of this planet + funny orb game appeals to various ages for various reasons + people can like different things than you literally just shut up + no bitches
Staged or not (I've seen genuinely conflicting opinions) it's still funny how quickly it goes to pot

“We’ve just sort of decorated our cars in a distinctive manner.” The accent combined with the statement was the cherry on top!!!
As an Alabamian I can confirm this video was in no way falsified. They looked to be heading north from Mobile and those Pride gas stations tend to be in really seedy towns (I can say that, I'm from a seedy town) along that route.
Those folks down there gave those Top Gear folks a very rude welcome. Most folks in Alabama don’t behave that way, considering I’ve been to Mobile, Gulf Shores, and Foley…

@@odeclasdjent7831 Most people would just ignore it. Since in heavily populated places people tend to become more isolated from those around eachother. I know it sounds strange but it's a well documented phenomenon. Much the same way many people in flats will barely know their neighbours if at all, whereas people living on estates will have good acquaintance, even friendship with their neighbours. I'm no expert but I'd imagine it's because it's the sea of faces. Being around so many people means they all just blur into one globular mass. Humans don't naturally live in multi-million populated metropolis'. Maybe it's a way for the brain to cope, as its an overload of information

Spent half of my life in Alabama and this is accurate, except for the idea that crossing the state border will save you. In reality, any rural area for several states in any direction will deliver similar results. Even Florida, the beaches of Florida are their own, completely different thing but go 30 minutes inland, anywhere outside of the larger cities, it's the south on meth, riding an alligator.
