He seems upset
Jeremy drove a Jeep Wrangler in the new TGT special and itâs a popular car among the Gay gentleman and the other 2 made jokes like âoh Jeremy can be himself nowââŚâproud of youâ.
Also Jezza made a joke about LGBT standing for Lesbian, Gay, Bacon, Transgender.
Dumb jokes but to be offended by this shit? Seriously?
People love to be offended. By rants go his is a terrible one haha
Bellerin is so jealous of that stache right now.
While theyâre pretty tame jokes, I think itâs worth stopping for a second to put yourself in someone elseâs shoes for a second. If youâve probably spent your life being called a bender, poof and much worse, I can see it might sting a bit to have someone that famous and influential taking the piss out of your identity in such a way.
When youâve never had to ensure that kind of abuse and attacks on your identity its pretty easy to call people snowflakes and whinge about them loving to be offended. Even if you donât agree with their complaints, it does you no harm to stop for a second and try to see why it might be hurtful and make them feel some kind of way.
Didnât find it offensive. Just terrible middle aged humour which is synonymous with Top Gear.
Sigh
We should keep our jokes limited to inanimate objects, itâs getting tedious with humans now.
Well people like you are a big part of the problem because you donât think anybody should ever really be offended by anything lol
Itâs big @JakeyBoy youâre talking about isnât it? The smarmy, snowflaking cunt.
Yeah so how am I being a problem?
Latest episode is out. Hammondâs piece at the end was simply sublime. I had never heard of that racing driver before but my eyes were glued to the screen, was only saying the other week about how much I love those history lesson segments.
Was always a fan of Top Gear till the original three presenters were part of the show. Have now switched to the Grand Tour and enjoy it. Do wish it was a little less scripted but I can see why the do it at times. As for the jokes they make on the show, I can see both sides of the argument. Honestly, they are just being themselves. A lot of their jokes are no different from what 3 close friends would crack among themselves, so I guess, from that point of view, they are keeping it genuine.
I remember there was a lot of hue and cry about the Top Gear India special show as a lot of people were offended by their jokes on India and how things are here but I didnât find them offending at all. At the end of the day, itâs a lighthearted show and shouldnât be taken seriously.
This is an FYI in case you are interested, rather than me intentionally being a dick lol, but theyâre quite far from being the original hosts. It was on for twenty four years before Clarkson and Hammond joined in 2002 and May joined a couple years later. I think the format was very different once relaunched with them at the helm.
Or to be really nit picking pedantic, Clarkson was a presenter on the original Top Gear, having started in 1989 and then left by the end of the 90s, while James May even featured on original Top Gear, around 1998 for a short while But youâre also right in that, theyâre certainly not the original presenters of the show.
@Persona Iâve not seen the feature, but I am assuming youâre on about the legendary Jim Clark. Without doubt one of the greatest drivers of all time. Back in an era where there was a high chance of death. Leading a normal life as a farmer, alongside his racing duties. Totally normal, humble down to earth guy. Youâd never get anything like that today. Funny how Scotland, who usually suck at most sports, actually produced two outstanding talents like Clark and Jackie Stewart really (Amongst others from other series).
Yep, spot on. Jim Clark. The piece, as always with the racing or car history segments of TG and TGT, was superb. Can tell Hammond was affected by the story he was telling.
I donât know if the piece mentioned it, but theyâre currently in the process of redeveloping his museum in Duns, which is really good to see as a driver like him should be celebrated and known more. Iâm glad TGT did a good job on his feature. Although Iâd have been nervous giving Hammond controls of anything powered really
60s cars were absolutely beautiful, and they were damn cool to see them sliding around.
Getting love on r/TheGrandTour
What an amazing episode this was!
If youre gonna be pedantic, be right
