I usually like british humor, but the stig playing Top Trumps was dumb.

And the American bashing is getting a little old, although for some reason fat jokes never get old :p

But it makes me wonder, is this the general British opinion of America, or is it just Clarkson being Clarkson?

Clarkson being Clarkson, but it's no different to the rednecks who think we drink tea and eat crumpets and scones all day. I think it's hilarious.

You...don't?

J/p :p

Wasn't there a recent car, I think it may have been a Mini, that made a "british" version and had a tea set in the glove box or something like that?

TBH i eat crumpets and drink tea for breakfast most days :p

(and i'm really not joking)

On the subject of the humour being quite staged, i think it is overly staged on purpose. After all the complaints that had about speeding back in the old days i think they are just messing with those people who just don't understand entertainment TV.

Jeremy's vocabulary is the same every episode.

it feels so scripted.

their American hating never seems to amuse me.

love the show for the car porn tho.

Most likely is scripted to a degree, but Clarkson is like that so a lot of it is probally just whatever pops in his head at the time :laugh: I love how Jerermy and Richard keep refering to Bathurst as a big fist fight to which the occassional car race breaks out :rofl: also loved how Eric countered Clarkson's attempts at bashing Australia :p good stuff!

Yeah, it's like the challenges they are staged from beginning to end but they have to be. Imagine the chaos if they just decided to do one of those big challenges on a whim? and the complains would come flooding in not to mention they'd probally get sued to kingdom come as well....but even staged they can't control what happens during the challenge and they are still close and still awesome to watch :)

They are doing some filming for a future show in an Art Gallery near where I live over the weekend. They were there today. They have put on an exhibition where Clarkson,May and Hammond have all done at work. I managed to get 4 tickets for the tour Sunday. They were free woop woop. I had some insider info when and where they were going on Sale on Thursday.

Exactly, i recall the BBC many complaints about the car wash fire scene from a few series back. How did these people not realise it was staged... fools.

Good episode, there were some nice women in the audience :yes: ;)

The safety checks/tests with "Geoff" were hilarious (slow-motion crash and veggie Stig! :o) and now being after the watershed, Clarkson's face drawing :rofl:

I can't believe Twilight made it onto Top Gear :laugh:

Radish?

I thought the episode was great. Entertainment-wise at least, probably not if you wanted more car stuff.

Found the car testing part hilarious.

My housemates and I loved the slow-motion part. I thought the first two- thirds of the episode were a bit slow.
