Americans React | JIMMY CARR INTERVIEW | Jeremy Clarkson | TOP GEAR | Reaction

[@RoswelliVideos]

Before they changed the car from that Suzuki Liana, he was beaten by Ellen Mcarthur, she had (probably still holds) the world record for the fastest solo circumnavigation in a yacht. Edit: She did that in 2005, was beaten in 2008. But she's still only one of four people who managed a world tour without stopover or assistance. She did it in 71 days. (Some quick Wikipedia-ing.)

[@matthewwalker5430]

She also circumnavigated Great Britain on her own .... when she was 19! I am the same age as her pretty much - I was not circumnavigating anything but the local pubs in 1995, lol

[@georgecaplin9075]

I’m glad you put that on here. I remember being a little bit fed up of hearing about the “oh-so-bloody-wonderful” Ellen McArthur at the time. Then she was on Top Gear, I watched the interview and I was instantly hit by all the things that everyone must’ve noticed before me. Charismatic, humble, funny, just a joy to watch. I’m gonna try and find that clip, might be worth recommending to KB. (Also, wasn’t she made, like, a Dame or something?).

[@therm3632]

When I think of an American suing someone, it always makes me think of the time when Homer Simpson tried suing The Never Ending Story for false advertising

[@seppingtondestamina9398]

That was Lionel Hutz, not Homer.

[@therm3632]

@@seppingtondestamina9398 Arrh yeah that's right. Homer wanted to su the all you can eat buffet place lol

[@AlphaGamer1981]

lawsuits for injuries wouldn't even be a thing if you had universal healthcare. The fact that there is a monopoly making people billionaires on people getting sick or dying from injuries, means that people wouldn't be bothered to sue if they were able to get treated without being made bankrupt

[@BourbonJRA]

This is just not true lol, it’s not as if “injurylawyers4u” doesn’t exist in the UK

[@ltbot78]

Spoof, that's why uk TV Is fulla "injured in accident that wasn't ur fault" adverts

[@pistonburner6448]

Oh, you gullible child... you think that thousands of people aren't getting rich in universal healthcare countries? You think that if the government (so a bureaucracy like the DMV) is in control of your healthcare they'll actually give you real healthcare? If they don't what are you going to do? Complain? Haha! All the doctors will be employed by the government too, so you think they'll help you?

[@Goady1000]

You two need to learn your stuff. Yes uk has lawsuits but the difference here is you have to proof your employer has been negligent. Makes a huge difference

[@TheCornishCockney]

@@Goady1000 we are miles behind the US ambulance chasers who are practiced fraudsters and world class bullshitters (present company excepted of course) I’ve never been sued nor has anyone I know.

[@matthewmorley310]

great reaction. id definitely recommend more 'stars in reasonably priced cars' segments like this from top gear. there's a bunch of people you're aware of who've been on. hope you and queen boomer are enjoying Greece! best wishes from England.

[@chrisagombar4189]

I was one of the people that suggest that clip, glad you liked it. 😀

[@mikgus]

"Top Gear ~ Blind Lap" is the best Reasonably Priced Car segment

[@kumasenlac5504]

I don't know if it's available, but the SIARPC segment with Will Smith and Margot Robbie is pure gold...

[@m-arky66]

Michael Gambons second visit to TG was pretty funny

[@lindman399]

Harry Enfield "Lee and Lance, whos that girl" sketch. CLASSIC ENDING

[@fishtigua]

Boomer, these old Top Gear vids are iconic in the UK. Jodie Kidd, the supermodel, pisses over most of the boys and ended up racing for Maserati in their Cup Series. She now has her own YT car channel called Kidd In A Sweetshop. Oh, have fun in Greece, great food and now the new wines are very drinkable.

[@misolgit69]

the whole point about the 'Reasonably Priced Car' is....they're incapable of reaching 80 mph one episode the 'Star' was Slash the sight of him trying to get the helmet on over all that hair was hilarious but then he closed the show by playing his variation of the theme tune which is Jessica by the Allman Brothers

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

At least he didn't try to put the helmet on over his hat :)

[@LawfullSpook]

Cambridge University is held in a higher regaurd that Harvard, Cambridge is ranked 3rd in the world which is tied with Stanford University, Harvard is ranked 5th while Yale is ranked 14th. The only two that are higher ranked is MIT and Oxford university.

[@davidclarke9783]

Since you started you have grown in understanding the British & Irish sense of humour Its great..

[@Graff_life]

The most crazy top gear episode was… Run out of Alabama! Offensive Cars, Top Gear Series 9. If you haven’t all ready seen this, check it out… you won’t be disappointed.

[@spracing04]

Would love to see a reaction video to a complete Top Gear episode, as watching small segments doesn’t always give you the complete picture of what is happening. The ‘Special’ episodes were amazing. Would love to see you watch the Argentina episodes, however they were split into two 1 hour segments so they would be long videos but worth it.

[@SaintPhoenixx]

Being sued or suing someone seems like a rite of passage for Americans. For Brits, it's your first pint.

[@richardfoster6494]

This was 20 years ago 2002

[@epiceagle247]

Been watching you since the first football chants reaction. Love your content keep it up bro!

[@wilky952]

I did an exercise with your troops near Louisiana and drove to Dallas for my RNR down one of those long straight roads in what can only be described as a monster of a hired vehicle. I stopped off at a small shop in the middle of nowhere and was questioned where I was from. Amazingly because I had a northern British accent the shop owner refused to believe I was from England until I did a Hugh Grant impression.

[@revbenf6870]

Such a highly appropriate surname for a guest on Top Gear!! 🚘

[@jimmyhughes5392]

in the UK it's the narrowest most windy of roads without speed limits

[@Seagull6819]

Need to check out Boris Johnson’s two appearances on Top Gear. Hysterical!

[@VXGaming]

Should try Johnny Vegas interview on Top Gear.

[@MartinArscott1]

There was a running joke about the fact every single celeb sat forward on the seat when their time was being announced no matter how much they tried to pretend they didn't care!

[@barryisland5097]

Rover 75s are brilliant cars I'm on my 2nd, every accessory you could imagine, smooth as silk and in 9 years of ownership just 2 breakdowns both from knackered batteries.

[@chrisjudd743]

This was Jimmy back before he had some work done on his face! Please react to Russel Brand, I think you’d like him. Or Billl Bailey meets Paul McCartney :)

[@kajenbop]

I live in Corby town centre... Kettering town centre is 6 miles away.

[@vaudevillian7]

It’s changed now, Montana has had speed limits for at least 10 years I think, just in case you head back west… The roads here in the UK are so different, winding and narrow

[@geoffduke1763]

Sign posts and the like you have to experience Ireland. Not too bad now but back in the day I was driving through Dublin looking for the road to Dublin Airport eventually found it and the sign was about half the size of a piece of A4 paper. Also roundabouts......the signs are 300-400 yards up the road so it is pot luck which exit to come of haha

[@sallywaites8517]

That episode was from a long time ago. I don't remember if anyone topped that time.

[@shanejohnston4329]

Hope you two are enjoying Greece. Yup that's why Clarkson, May , and Hammond, are so popular. Actually , Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, were also outstanding results.

[@kevdoe3360]

The thing that is annoying in UK,is traffic lights still working after midnight when there is next to nothing else on the road!So you sit at a red light with nobody else about,i think other countries in Europe keep their lights on amber which means give way if you have to,but if there is nobody coming you can just go!!!

[@petecoventry6858]

React to Jimmy Carr on Netflix - all of his stand ups are epic - seen him live 30 times so far love every time.

[@watchreadplayretro]

you have both been sued! My gosh what a world out there! Adds to Jimmy joke over it then! Oh and SO cool that you recognise a lot of the names on the list since your rabbit hole diving of British comedians and showrunners etc, Brilliant!

[@SubjectRandom21]

Some used to call him a ventriliquist doll or that he looked like one.

[@barriehull7076]

The car registration had 52 as the first two numbers so it was a September 2002 registered car.

[@sandulf2904]

That was around 2002, if anybody remembers how long he stayed there for I'd be impressed.

[@HaggardPillockHD]

Jimmy Carr stayed on the top of the list for a long time if I'm not mistaken

[@wezz69]

A fantastic 70/80's british show to react to is LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR! Extremely offensive today and 100% wouldn't be allowed on tv in any country. I have just found it myself and happy it can still be found on youtube

[@makaveliuk86]

Lil note,Jimmy was doing 3x the national average mileage in his car,average on this lil island is just 10,000 miles

[@chrisdazh]

A few suggestions to watch mate, Shooting stars best bits, with Vic reeves and Bob mortimers, and Yorkshire Airways sketch with hale and pace,

[@petervan1353]

Tom Cruise stood at the top for a long time look up who went passed him with flying colours on TopGear !

[@adamcashin4021]

If I recall Jimmy Carr won that competition; which was the first reasonably priced car race. It went on for a few years but the leader board got full and the car got old so they switched to a second competition; which Jimmy finished bottom of. His aggressive driving combined with a bit of rain and he span out constantly. I think he was something like 30 seconds slower (possibly he just did it for comic affect as the rain meant he wasnt going to win)

[@davebirch1976]

He was fastest in that series (5) the actual fastest person when they retired that car (end of series 7) was Helen MacArthur. The reason he was last in the next car was because they changed the rules they were allowed to do a couple of test laps then the final lap was the timed lap, and he spun it on the timed lap.

[@jonathanrussell594]

Signposting for villages in the in the UK is determined by local rivalries.. If the town north of another town.. They will not fully signpost a direct route. I lived in a market town that has a famous cattle market. And the town 10 miles south of it has the word Market in its name. The local council refuses to send business to that town. Thus they don't sign post it. This is common around the UK.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

There is a flip side to the US's notoriously litigious culture. Its justice system is also very efficient - or used to be anyway. I was too little to remember this, but my late father told me about a time when we were living in Denver in the late 70s, and he - being British and bit naïve about US traffic laws (they are not optional like they seem to be in the UK), he failed to stop at a stop sign and, to his surprise, was immediately pulled over by some kind of stealth cop and ticketed. Ten dollars! Now, ten bucks was a lot of money back then, so my mother leapt into action. She had spotted that the line at the intersection was faded. She had her Kodak Instamatic with her and took a picture of the line (she's still got it!). Then, she told the cop that they'd like to contest the ticket in court, which amused him quite a lot, apparently (crazy Brits and all that). But, sure enough, they went to the local court a few days later and told the judge about the faded line and showed him the photograph. He was so impressed that he told them that while their defence was somewhat flimsy, he would cut the fine by five dollars as a reward for a good effort. So that was my folks' one and only experience of the US justice system in three years living there, and they were mightily impressed with it. Much better than the UK's, that's for sure - or so they told me - where some barely trained local magistrate probably would have had them arrested because they had the wrong case in front of them. That can happen!

[@paulwalton1222]

A league of their own is a good comedy sports quiz and they have a new series showing at the moment and in one of the first episodes Jimmy carr crashed.

I've never even met anyone who's been sued. The US is weird.

That was the old car, they set a new board for every new car they get, I think there has been two or three cars since then

[@paulmk2290]

You should do the Top Gear space shuttle or the drive to the north pole.

[@Daltwan_Kenobi]

I can’t really remember whether he stayed at the top, they had a few other cars and reset the leaderboard a few times, I do remember the second time he was on it they may have mentioned him being top last time so he may have kept that until the reset.

[@FormulaOneLeclerc]

Hey btw if you have amazon prime, the latest Grand Tour special ft. The top gear trio is coming out on sept. 16...

[@10thdoctor15]

They change the car every few years, and Jimmy didn't get to the top of those lists. Rowan Atkinson's interview is a good one to watch.

[@davebirch1976]

"if you come to the states please do not....." Actually just do not bother going, you can't get sued then..... hopefully no one sues me for saying that 😆

Pretty sure Simon Cowell came back for another crack. For something that was supposed to be a novelty it became pretty serious. The leader board part anyway

Just as a heads up KB - Clarkson and the gang (not so much James May) are very divisive here in the UK, well Clarkson especially. You're not going to know the 'off-show' dynamics, interviews, general media output that the UK has so you may not be aware. Seemingly as he got more rich he got more obnoxious and went from straight talking hero to knob pretty quickly. I'd say easily 50/50 of your subscribers will love/hate him. Just a heads up. Si.
