American reacts to Clarkson Making Fun of Americans Compilation

[@charliecosta3971]

This will shock you .. Top Gear is on the BBC which means no adverts! Also how can we pronounce Jaguar weird when it's a British car that we named.

[@tjp353]

I would prefer the bbc had adverts instead of tv license funding. Taxing all live broadcast tv in order to fund one network is outrageous.

[@wizardsuth]

Had the British invented the word "jaguar" you would be correct, but they didn't. The jaguar is a large cat native to South and Central America, and its English name is derived from the Tupi-Guarani word "yaguara". It's odd that the British pronounce the "u" in "jaguar" as a separate syllable when the natives who invented the word do not.

[@brabusta]

It also means no sponsors.

Fascinating as that is, the English invented the English language and Anglicized words to make them English. Jaguar is a brand name, with their WORLD Head Quarters for Jaguar Cars in Coventry ENGLAND. Believe me, with my CV7 postcode, we pronounce it JAG-U-AR.

If you remember when Top Gear had a smaller budget (factual or was it documentaries can't remember) it was genuinely funny because of their incompetence and political incorrectness.Then, because of its success the BBC moved it to an 'entertainment' show and gave it a bigger budget. As a consequence things started to become 'forced' to get a laugh and when down hill thereafter it culminated in the fisty cuffs that we all know about.

[@dicem8977]

People with zero interest in cars watch/watched Top Gear/The Grand Tour because it's funny, at times it's a mix of a chat show, comedy show with stunts/pranks/impossible challenges, like driving through a bog or dirt track with an old broken up car costing less than £1,000 and your racing your mates in similar vehicles whilst they fall apart for example.

[@HankD13]

You really need to react to more Top Gear. Always remember, we love to insult our friends. The better the insult, the better the friend. Top Gear was one of the most internationally successful shows the BBC ever made (except for America, since they really did not understand it) - and it was the trinity of Clarkson, Hammond and May that made it so. Irreverent humour, grown up children having fun, outrageous stunts and the entire world to play in. Clarkson made fun of everything - including himself very notably. Nothing was too serious and everything could be mocked. Car manufactures often hated Top Gear (BBC so no advertising) and they all gave their very honest, and very frank opinions. If they liked a car, you could take that to the bank.

Just for context, the last time America was on the winning side of a war was WWII in 1945, and that was them jumping into a war at the final hours.
