[@alansquared]

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Comedy is subjective. But to suggest that things can only be funny provided someone suffers is ridiculous. A lot of great comedy is made at the expense of others and I'm sure a lot of people get a kick out of needlessly offending people in the most gratuitous and artless of ways but that's not the only source of humour. I can't imagine how tragic a life it must be to only find shows like Top Gear and You've Been Framed funny.

Alan Hancock There are an awful lot of people in this world who aren't actually satisfied unless someone is suffering. We've always called them psychopaths but that usually conjures the image of a crazed murderer or rapist. In fact there are many millions of psychos who have historically restrained their urge to make others suffer because they are not crazy enough to ignore the consequences of their actions. Then the internet came along, making a nice consequence free zone for expression and now we have all these millions of little fraidy psychos finally able to satisfy themselves with trolling and the like.

You know, the scared shivering man terrified of the patriarchy & NPC comedians, who have to yell racist and homophobe at the slightest sign of someone who doesn’t agree with him politically. The one who thinks he’s making the world a better place by participating in what he believes to be alternative, underground PC comedy and values despite the fact that it’s pretty much all that’s being funded by mainstream media atm. I’m not saying he’s wrong or should be unable to do this, just that he shouldn’t delude himself into thinking he’s doing anything different, or that he is above those who don’t.

I mean I think I've watch Top Gear a total of three times in my life and it seems alright I guess. I would never go out of my way to watch it, I don't even think I would watch it if it was the only thing TV. I would preferably enjoy watching the nature channel and see baby loins eat each other honestly.

@@lewiscoacher7781 Don't blame me for that. Blame David Attenborough for recording it and putting it on TV so that I could watch it.

[@jaquesravalec242]

Cool story Monsieur.

[@cessrcd]

Stewart Lee is the thinking persons Jordan B Peterson❤

[@bikingbirder2010]

I HATE TOP GEAR!

[@ZakFarley]

This is comedy? My daughter tells better off the cuff knock-knock jokes...

[@venger]

Do you like top gear?

[@ZakFarley]

Not really no

[@venger]

***** Zak wants the moon on a stick.

[@venger]

I don't know.. Look. Just give it to me straight. Like a pear cider, made from 100% pear/

[@godofinternets2381]

Tee hee hee, you're pretending to lick a fanny in your profile pic tee hee, that really shows what an amazingly funny and zany character you are, you're really really really really really funny, what a cheeky scampster! I bet they cally you Zany Zak don't they, all the chaps.

[@biokido575]

I think somebody hasn't been asked to drive the reasonably priced car and is bitter.

[@joaquinvaleri7022]

I hate top gear obviously

[@pwd1134]

Funny. However, most foreigners have heard of Jeremy Clarkson. Nobody on God's green earth knows who this is.

[@ally11488]

Foreigners have also heard of Jimmy Savile.

[@esw01407]

I have no problem with him disliking Top Gear, respect his opinion. If he's supposed to be an stand-up comedian he's not funny. Just plain flat and boring. Not getting the laughing either.

[@johnniejay]

I didn't realise "being a comedian" meant talking bollocks all evening, whilst at the same time not being even remotely funny. I may have to give up the day job......

[@tomthomas9708]

I'm surprised one of Stewart's patronising fans hasn't lectured you on not being intelligent enough to understand his comedy. They often give the uneducated such as ourselves lectures on irony in particular. You're right though, he is shit.

[@johnniejay]

tom thomas This is "Emperor's New Clothes" comedy...Lee fans laugh at jokes that aren't even there, safe in the knowledge that this is elitist comedy for intellectuals, and that every one else who doesn't find it funny is simply incapable of "getting it". I do get it, and it's shit. You really need to peel away the veil of pretense to expose the charlatan beneath where this guy is concerned. Herring was definitely the brains behind this outfit.....

[@slashbashin]

Alexander The Geat I couldnt have said it better myself.

[@shinjinobrave]

tom thomas excuse my late response, but yes, you are too stupid to understand this kind of humour, but don't worry, you might get there at some point...

[@johnniejay]

shinjinobrave And your pretentious enough to find this kind of "humour" mind blowing. tom thomas It would appear as though you were right, a Lee acolyte has arrived to condemn our opinions, and cast aspersions over our lack of intelligence. Better late than never, but still entirely predictable.

[@Draegon86]

I see some people talking about this going over us top Gear fans heads...but like, this guy isn't really funny?...I tried to keep an open mind but like, nothing about this even made me snicker? This dude sucks. Like, grab the cane and yank him off stage kinda suck

[@davedennison7386]

Not in on the joke mate??

[@VelvetMetrolink]

'Us Top Gear fans'. That's when you know identity politics has gone too far.

[@mattnorthants77]

At the end of the day - this isn't funny at all

[@ZakFarley]

bongo155 LOL, you are sooo right, that would be hilarious!

[@ArdieMejia83]

Andrew Hatcher A shallow response from a shallow mind

[@cashewpistachio1826]

I think top gear is shite. I think Stuart Lee is excellent, but this stand up just wasn't funny.

[@sadikmeah4057]

Neither is your mum but you still love her right?

[@countbasie8470]

First time I have not enjoyed Stewart lee , Comes across a bit snide on this one , Who fucking cares about top gear anyway

[@michaelkelly2688]

[@SHEEPFETTISH]

The 80's were NOT politically correct

[@seagoats8923]

Jeremy Clarkson is funnier than Stewart Lee.
