top Gear Jeremy Clarkson got stoned by angry Argentinians while filming TG

Jeremy Clarkson is not biased toward a certain nation when it comes automaker. He bashed cars from England, Germany, Australia, US, Italy, Japan. My point is if a car is shitty, he will chew it up regardless on which nation built it.

He also praised car from every nation as well (he is a Mercedes fan boy though. He bashed the cars, not the nation. But many of the time he make reference to their nation's embarrassing past when review the cars.

for example "the last time the Germans and Italians teamed up, it didn't end so well" in reference to WWII when he reviewed a Lamborghini, which is owned by Audi.

I hating on him is just ridiculous and calling him words and calling his words "offensive" is just offensive.

He made shitload of Vietnamese and American jokes in the Vietnam special but you don't see Vietnamese calling foul and made a big deal out of it because people in Vietnam have better things to do than bitch about it.

Guy is an asshole so yeah he knew what he was doing. I have no idea why that show is so popular

I hope it finally gets cancelled. The show is stupid, full of exaggerations and lies and is nothing more than nonsense. I get better reviews on Youtube.

no surprise. he's a dick. wonder how they'll spin this on the show. But this most likely means that there wont be a christmas special

Christmas Special? Is that what Brits look forward to for Christmas? A car show Christmas Special with a tall, curly haired, egotist host?

Sad really. :'(
 
It's the 'most watched factual program in the world'. "The programme is estimated to have around 350 million views per week in 170 different countries."

This guy has been posting since 2000. Almost 15 years of posting dipshit comments. Considering pretty much everyone on this site despises him I wonder what his angle is?

Have you seen Texashiker's posts? pretty much the same angle, I guess.
 
Clarkson sometimes just pans cars to just be himself.

LIke this one with the Mclaren M4-12C and describing how perfect is and then he says it isn't fun.....

Yeah, they tend to be contrary just to add spice to the show. Half of what they do is to be in character or go against the grain to be interesting and for the sake of entertainment. Anyone who has watched more than a few episodes - I've seen every episode at least twice 😱 - knows it's just a fun show, and not just about the cars (though they do play with a lot of cars).

All the times they destroy stuff or come up with weird challenges should be a giveaway that it's more entertainment than informational or educational. Fantastic show, though, and they do come up with a lot of tidbits or good discussion on the industry or social issues from time to time, especially on the specials. People who don't like silliness or antics probably hate them, but normal people should realize their shtick right now is just that.
