What he said about DEFRA and his local planning authority on his programme 'Clarkson's Farm' had to be cut in the edit only the broadcastable bits left in. He hates stupid red tape, the local council complained about the parking problem at his Farm Shop then wouldn't allow him to build an extra car park, he got it after a battle. The same with the attached restaurant but forced to close by them as locals complained over extra traffic. His argument was it brought extra trade to other local businesses.

Clarkson makes fun of everyone. About us Germans he said that if we were to build a car that is quintessentially German it would have a satnav that only goes to Poland and the indicators consist of a right arm that is lifted up in a certain way. And yes, I love his abrasive humour.

[@moodswinggaming2972]

I like a lot of American folks, but Americans are customers not citizens. The reason the land of the free is so funny is because it's really not free. You're not free to use healthcare, you are not free to take time off work sick as much as we do due to the negative stigma's born of the notion of the American dream, you're not free to have children, it costs to and you cant take time off work paid like you can here when your baby is born. Our children are free to go to school without fear of being shot dead, and your home owner associations are hardly making things free for you either. It's all very ironic to us in Europe to be honest and a totally shared experience worthy of endless memes. On average we in Europe have far more free time than Americans too, due to our rights of paid leave, paid maternity leave and our general lifestyles too. I could go on and on and on. As the incredible American George Carlin said " It's called "The American Dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it. "

[@motanelustelistu]

Ooo my word dude, you've written EXACTLY what i would've written but in a more condensed way and ABSOLUTELY CORRECT on everything . You also like and find true what George Carlin said (probably my favorite comedian , except his hatred of churches and alcohol & drug abuse) and another true quote from him of americans are "shopping and eating , shopping and eating" ; "America is a transcontinental shopping mall" and "în America you have the ILLUSION OF CHOICE , but you reality only can choose between pepsi and cola,republic or democrat etc , but all the IDIOTIC things you can choose from 20 variants" . The quotes are ~ . When i saw george Carlin,i tought you have used the last quote în my trio. Still, that is the best and nu favorite quite about usa too . BASICLY you see what i see and speak the truth , so i think, IN PERSON (irl is stoopid, cuz life can only be real,so the word "real" is superfluous) we could be friends. P.S. The "maternity" leave for dads though is FILTHY and only tries to FEMINIZE the Man and destroy the SEX DUTIES (as only words have gender and this are DUTIES/RESPINSABILITIES , NOT teather roles în a play). P.P.S. Your comment DESERVE over 10.000/10 k likes not 10 , so i hope it will get there very quickly.

Yes Aussies got our humour from the Brit’s, from my (non convict) lol ancestors 😊. Everyone here who finds a convict ancestor is thrilled lol.

A big part of British Culture is banter. Someone makes a joke at your expense to your face, there may or may not be anyone else around to hear it, and your mission is to turn the joke back around on them, so they become the butt of the joke. It's a bit of a game we play with each other. It is most often delivered with a straight face and pretending it is more serious than it really is. This is what we call having a dry sense of humour or tongue in cheek humour, being cheeky. As far as I can tell, American humour seems to be more visual or slapstick, whereas ours is more wordplay.

[@alexandermills9965]

We all have stereotypes including us from the UK. We know that people from other countries see as, posh white people with bad teeth, who drink tea and eat scones, who are bad at cooking, love the royal family. We in brace that. We just say, 'well they've been over then' 🤣😂. We used to have a massive empire that we ruled the world, and of course 🙄😅 we fucked it up and lost it all. Why do you think our comedy is mainly laughing at other peoples failures and our own. We can identify character in our shows who are bad at different thing and say, 'Yes that me, and this character is my best friend, and this person is my boss.' We see ourselves as being a bad country who want to be the best but we never will.

You're taking the time to respond to people stating the contrary, so it seems you do care what people think. Your nation is not the "world's saviour" nor is it the "Blessing" the world needs. The USA can't even elect a president who isn't a convicted criminal. Most countries hold the USA with utter disregard and contempt, even some of your own citizens are appalled with the state of the USA. Not saying all Americans are bad, as I know they aren't, but the Americans I have met were indeed the most obnoxious, loud, rude and arrogant people that I have ever met, and I've been to numerous countries including the USA twice. "Free world".. the USA ranks lower than even the UK on the freedom index scale. You can't even cross the road at a non-designated crossing point without it being a crime (whether punished or not).... you allow big corporations to scam the public and rinse them dry, you allow food companies to poison food, using chemicals that are banned in Europe and have been for 10+ years. "Freedom" you claim. Don't even get me started on the healthcare, appalliing driving standards and lack of any gun control. You're doing the typical US citizen thing of "living in a bubble"... it seems "alright" to you because you're inside it and don't know different. Once you go around the world and see just how different it is in other places you actually realise how little freedom you have. "Americans have been the most charitable people on earth".. easy to be charitable when you have the most money, doesn't take a lot does it? Also for a supposedly "charitable" and "Christian" nation which the USA claims to be there is complete lack of any evidence of that. Your employees are treated like slaves, no federally mandated paid time off, no federally mandated sick pay, no maternity or even paternity leave, you have FMLA which doesn't apply to the majority of people so most people come to work grieving when losing a loved one, you can be fired on the spot or with little to no notice, doesn't happen in the UK. I worked in the UK emergency services for 10 years in a crucial frontline role. I was off sick for 3.5 months, I was paid in full, on time each and every month. My employer checked on me to see how I was doing, and provided free of charge consultations with occupational health. When I returned to work after 14 weeks off work I was welcomed back into work on light duties, I started back at work on massively reduced shift hours (just 4 hours per day for the first week, 5 hours per day the next week etc). America can't even compete when it comes to how it treats it's workers. You can't even pay waiters a proper wage and then they have the audacity to whinge to paying customers about being "cheapskates" and not tipping properly... sorry - you, the worker, chose to work for $3 an hour so it's not the customer's fault you aren't paid properly, so to berate them for not "tipping you enough" is utterly moronic. If I work in a shop, and get paid £3 an hour, should I moan to the customers who's shopping i'm putting through the til that they''re not "tipping me" because of my absurdly low wages... or should that be something I take up with my employer? Only the USA has the backwards logic and makes it the "customer's fault".

This is an old program. Clarkson is very funny and sarcastic, but he can take it too. They make fun of everyone, including each other.

There are basically two reasons why they're making fun of America so much, first British humor is usually them making fun of people they've had conflicts with, it's kind of like the British way of making peace by replacing war with roasts. The second even bigger reason is that one of the hosts, Richard Hammond, is a big fan of America and everything American, so a lot of these jokes are actually them just trying to annoy their co-host by making fun of something he loves... because that's what friends are for.

[@Britcarjunkie]

You've never heard of Jeremy Clarkson? Boy, are you in for a treat, as there's decades of material that'll have you in stitches for the rest of your life! And, with the current P.M. that may or may not have had Clarkson arrested for speaking his mind as usual recently, who knows - he may immigrate here. The years that Clarkson, May, and Hammond hosted Top Gear, are comedy gold, especially the road trips they took to the south, and to Vietnam. As for his personality, it's red-blooded Gen X: we flame everybody, we have no filter, and we don't care.

There is an underlying tone to Clarkson on America but there is an element of truth to it all which is the way of british sarcasm/comedy.
