Americans React | TOP GEAR COMPLAINTS AND OFFENDED PEOPLE COMPILATION | Reaction

[@SaintPhoenixx]

The apology about the largest bird was on the episode directly after their Argentina Special where they slightly angered the entire nation and almost got killed. The apology was a joke where instead of apologising for annoying the Argies, he just corrected a trivial mistake.

[@UTRG-UnderTheRain]

Yeah you need to watch that show it's nuts

[@harrymillar4193]

Also the fact that the Top Gear crew were LITERALLY ASSAULTED FOR NO REASON and yet the Argies wanted an apology?! Surely it should be the other way around!

[@oscarosullivan4513]

The joke about offending smokers is because all three of them smoked at the time

[@Squiddy-go1du]

@@harrymillar4193 I’m pretty sure they wanted the apology because of that number plate.

[@davidsuratgar1139]

It low-key created an international conflict

[@A16AdamWalker]

To give some context to the "I said the condor was the largest flying bird in the world" bit - this was following the Pategonia Special, mostly filmed in Chile and Argentina. The Argentina part especially caused a major scandal when Falkland War vets at their end destination of Ushuaia (where they were meant to play car football) accused Top Gear, Clarkson in-particular, of trying to insult Argentina with a car licence plate that they claimed referenced the 1982 Falklands War (which Argentina lost). They, and the crew, ended up by violently chased out of Argentina by a growing mob, with the convoy left badly damaged and them having to abandon the cars the trio had used, eventually escaping over the border into Chile. For once, despite complaints from the Argentinians, the BBC actually backed Top Gear, refused to apologise, and throughout the final series of the original trio they made numerous pro-Chile references, and when Margo Robbie and Will Smith were on as guests and asked Clarkson what was wrong with Argentina he replied "every-f***ing-thing". It's worth watching if you've not see the full thing, particularly how they started the trip at a Argentinian Nazi War Criminal Haven (Bariloche). That said I would say their Vietnam Special might be a more interesting watch as an American, as it's on bikes (which Clarkson hates) and they do reference the war quite a lot.

[@kumasenlac5504]

The Margot Robbie/Will Smith 'Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car' segment is priceless...

[@jcgabriel1569]

Yeah, I spotted several references to Chile, like the Chilean flag on the mugs they used, or the lapel badges at one episode...

[@highpath4776]

I am sure that Alabama is pleased that Argentina also ran the Clarkson era Top Gear out of town

Argentina started a war they couldn't win over land that never belonged to them.

"weird world we live in, innit?" "Weirdest world in the world." Jeremy's genius scares me sometimes

[@vaudevillian7]

You’re right it is Scotland, not Hertfordshire, but there are parts of England that look like that, check out the Lake District, Peak District and North Yorkshire Moors and Dales To tie in with your Partridge reaction you should check out series 1 of the Trip, where Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play fictional versions of themselves and drive around parts of northern England - visiting a different restaurant each episode and just bantering with each other.

Jeremy has done a show on his own in recent years called 'Clarkson's Farm' which is as the name suggested simply him running his own farm, but with hilarious consequences, I loved TopGear but have never been a huge fan of the Prime show, but Clarkson's Farm is very good. The challenges and Specials they did in Top Gear were superb though and well worth checking out, I think you'd get a real kick out off them

[@iKvetch558]

You should also check out Richard's "The Smallest Cog" show as well...if you can find a way to watch it where you are. 💯✌

[@JHX1]

totally agree..

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Also, James May's show. The first season is "Our man in Japan" The second season is "Our man in Italy"

[@James_Doyle83]

James and Richard are well better then Jeremy Clarkson

[@chintoki]

Clarkson's Farm is the greatest farming show ever.

[@rmweidner7596]

It didn't hurt that the BBC realized that almost every single person who complained to them would invariably be tuning in to see what else would be outraging them. There were a multitude of reasons why they were one of the top programs in the UK for as long as they were.

[@iKvetch558]

One of the top programs in the entire world, for a decent length of time, if I am not mistaken. ✌✌

Ah....the 40 miles from London...see....THIS is where I hate to say it, Americans will fall down the most. You've gotta stop taking what Brits say at face value. We're incredibly sarcastic, satirical, cynical and often quick witted, particularly to non-natives. We also enjoy vast historical rivalries between the different Counties and the 3 main British countries (yes, even Wales...although we don't talk about them)

The bit about inhaling the mayor of London is reference to when Boris Johnson was the mayor of London and he sold off half of the fire stations for a tidy profit.

[@robbie.j7639]

The albatross comments are because they got chased out of Argentina (literally), some Argentinians decided his number plate was a reference to the Falklands war, and there was riots and they got chased by guys in cars and rocks thrown at them. There was a big international thing made out of it and it was in all the newspapers. People said he did it on purpose to piss them off (he hadn't).

[@darthwiizius]

The road in Hertfordshire cracked me up, especially the bit where Jezza goes through a small Scottish village and claims it's Letchworth.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

Its one of the things about Top Gear , the unholy trio really did not care about the complaints , everyone knew the sort of stuff they got up to so why were these people watching anyway ? I think quite a few of the complaints were wind ups from fans . If you can get hold of a decent clip from a challenge it will be well worth it . Glad you enjoyed it .

[@williebauld1007]

If you can find it, their epic crossing of the English Channel in cars they converted to boats is a good one!

[@TommyHax]

I'm so glad Top Gear was around before cancel culture existed, or it never would have happened. It's one of my favourite shows of all time.

[@fookorf]

cancel culture is a term made up by rightwing conservative cry babies who don't understand the basics of free speech.

[@ZondaFRoadster]

Do you remember a woman called Mary Whitehouse? Cancel culture in television has been around for decades.

[@haztec.]

it was literally offensive at the time - the main reason jeremy was eventually fired is that he was already on thin ice at the BBC.

[@watchreadplayretro]

I grew up in Hertfordshire and never discovered that small chunk of beautiful rolling hillside road teleported from Scotland; but where I am now in Norwich there is a small town alleyway that leads directly to the California Long Beach ferris wheel by means of a Harry Potter hidden door, so I'm happy now.

[@thelorryist551]

That road IS in Scotland!! That's the joke. Hertfordshire is London commuter country. So is Buckinghamshire.

[@jonbolton3376]

Clarkson is one of my favourite celebs because not only is he funny, but he May and Hammond think the same about political correctness as i do lol.

[@highpath4776]

Taking you own lunch to work is ironic given the big fall out was Clarkson moaning about the lack of hot food at a filming location

[@mrmoran0077]

The scenery is in scotland 2:31 , if you look for the full piece on it he can be seen driving through pitlochry past Fishers hotel, my guess is the road in your clip is somewhere near glenshee

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

It was either the Patagonia or Argentine special (maybe they're the same thing) where Jezza accidentally stumbled on a local being a bit too friendly with a donkey... Worth a watch and laugh.

they kept this attitude even after the whole offended movement started. I love them. They insulted everyone and was kiked out of countrys

[@KarsonNow]

You have no idea. constant "controversy" in "Top Gear" with Clarkson was the start of the new show on Amazon called "The Grand Tour".

You can see that kind of countryside in the UK in places like the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District. That particular road looks like the Honister Pass (check out the videos of that road on youtube). It connects Keswick to Buttermere.

Top Gear is great, it's a British show about cars presented by journalisits, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. At it's peak the show used to get 350 million viewers per weekly episode. I really like the banter between the 3 of them, it got to a point where I can sit for hours just listening to what they had to say. Jeremy, nickname the orangutan is a loud and very opinianated man Richard, the hamster is actually the nicest of the 3, he's very American, or he tries to be James, the spaniel is quite nerdy but in a likable way, he has sever OCD and his likes and dislikes aren't orthodox Every week they have turns reviewing cars, talk about car related news and bring a celebrity to drive around their circuit to see which celeb is the fastest But yeah, you can check the show out if you like and keep up the good work
