Run out of Alabama! - Top Gear REACTION | DaVinci REACTS

[@AH-be6bu]

Top Gear started out as a car show, it became so much more with Clarkson, Hammond and May at the helm. Irreverent, off the wall, extremely un-PC, and very polarising in the UK. I still love it.

Top Gear with Clarkson, Hamster and May will go down in history. It’ll probably be cancelled soon, it’s not been the same since they left, it’s just forced humour now. With the old 3 it just naturally happened

Look at how many people were in the audience at the Top Gear tapings at the early seasons/series of the show. Over time it ballooned to max capacity and then the long waiting list. Top Gear made cars popular for tv.

[@roboguard96]

12:35 American and British “reality” shows are very different. American reality shows “repo man” for example are mostly staged, in Britain you will be penalised by offcom (the British tv regulator) if you are found to be intentionally deceiving the audience, so British reality shows what you see on the show is pretty much what happened aside from some editing trickery.

[@ramjb]

Well, maybe reality shows can't be staged in the UK. But Top Gear wasn't a reality show, it always was a scripted show through and through (something they never bothered to hide), and the specials were not different. They had clearly staged sequences on them too. Which doesn't mean on occasion stuff didn't happen on it's own, and I'm sure that the reaction by that woman in that gas station wasn't staged or scripted at all. But that's a whole different thing.

Honestly you should just watch the specials of Top Gear up to season 22. There's maybe about 8, covering the special you saw a clip from. All involving 3 2nd hand cars and driving from A-B. below are a list of the specials and a rough idea of what they're about, I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm not a petrol head and I love them because of the humour the 3 presenters bring. Polar Special | 2007: Race to the north poll in a pick up truck against Hammond who's on a sledge with huskies Botswana | 2007: Drive across the plains of Botswana in second hand 4x4s Vietnam | 2008 : going on bikes from Saigon to Ha long Bay, to try and beat the time it took for the Americans to get to Hanoi in 2 weeks or something. Bolivia | 2009 : Driving out of dense jungle to the Chilean Pacific coast in second hand 4x4s. Middle East | 2010: As 3 wisemen, drive from Iraq to Jerusalem to deliver the baby Jesus a present or 3. India | 2011: Buy 3 2nd hand cars and driving from Bombay to the Himalayas while trying to do a trade mission for Indians to buy more British and built Anglo-Indian relations along the way. Africa | 2013: Find the true source of the River Nile. Burma | 2014: Trucking from Yangon to a river in Thailand to build a bridge over the river Kwai. Patagonia | 2015: Drive from northern Argentina to Patagonia and host a football game to build bridges with the locals As for the Grand Tour specials which was the show created with the same presenters due to backlash after Patagonia. (Available on Prime Video) Feed the World | 2018: Deliver fish from the sea to a remote village in Africa where it's hard to get deliveries to. Colombia Special | 2019 : Take photos of specific animals from Amazon screensavers. China | 2019 : Mainly just a Chinese roadtrip. Salty Sea to Unsalty Sea | 2019 : Drive GT cars from the Black Sea in Georgia to the Caspian Sea at Baku in Azerbaijan. Survival of the Fattest (Mongolia) | 2019: Build a jeep and drive from the middle of nowhere to a town called Moron. Finally. Seamen | 2019: Buy 2 boats and ride them down the Mekong Delta from Cambodia to the south of Vietnam

Thanks for the reaction Devon :) Btw it's actually not a reality show, technically it called a factual program and Top Gear (now The Grand Tour) they don't make up bits unless it's for comedic purposes, in which case it's set up so you know it's obviously fake. It was the biggest program of it's kind in the world actually before its end. It went on for 17 years or so and there are so many programs and specials. It's not a traditional car show, they will cover just about anything but it's based around cars/machines. The show it'self goes on in their studio but this clip is from one of their specials, typically some of the funniest episodes. If you feel like doing one more I recommend clips from - "Botswana special" driving 3 budget cars through Okavango delta kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5XOmKKXZqqYq8k - Building a space shuttle from a car and sending it to space on a rocket (segment from the regular show) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnvHo5-Nh5KsfK8

If you think that was bad, you should see what happened when they rocked up in Argentina. They had the whole town after them, and they were genuinely in fear for their lives. They were run out of the country! Needless to say, it was the last programme of that trip. As others have said, it's entertainment based loosely around vehicles that sometimes goes spectacularly wrong.

This is tame compared to the treatment they received during the Patagonia Special. It got so bad, that Jezza was hiding under his bed the one night. The Top Gear trio and filming crew had to flee from Argentina by crossing into Chili. The 3 vehicles driven by the Orangutan, Captain Slow, and Hamster, left behind in Argentina. The Patagonia Special created a diplomatic row between Britain and Argentina, but the BBC refused to apologize.

In fairness, you don't need to be a car person to enjoy shenanigans

This is funny but also extremely sad.

"the south and California don't see eye to eye". that's the type of stuff I came here for.

Top Gear used to be the biggest show in the world, literally. React to some more!

You should watch the more intense Argentina segment where they get run out of the country fleeing for their lives. That was properly scary to watch.

The Top Gear ambulance challenge is great, I think you'd enjoy that

1:53 Nothing on earth can make a person scream, "I is smart! I know words!" faster than the feeling of knowing for a fact that you know something, but that one tiny piece of information is just out of reach lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
