Stewart Lee - The Reason I hate Top Gear

Stay Home, Save Lives and Fuck Brexit!
====
A little preview I put together of (at the time) Stew's newest, and funniest DVD, with a clip of the "Top Gear" routine that caused all the controversy in the papers last year. This the first 5 minutes of a 40-minute routine that becomes hilarious, thought-provoking, provocative and intelligent and is the highlight of the show.
Please go out and buy the DVD, it's great.

The people who declare their loathing of Stewart Lee are actually a part of his act. You might even say that the things he says to get them going are just the warm-up. His real act is the wave of uncomprehending rage issuing from disoriented critics on comment threads in newspapers and here on KZbin.

[@alanthe2]

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.

[@rhaeven]

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.

jerry sienfeld is pc and never appears in pain and it one of the funniest guys ever, a few comedians do that, but top gear is just shit....i dont see how that is even considered comedy...and who the fuck gave you the license to write the rules of comedy?

[@morerobotwarscontent1476]

I do find it funny that a man who has clearly been offended by a routine slagging off Top Gear is somehow trying to say it is 'inoffensive' and the comedian is a pussy. In fact I'd say he's less of a pussy as unlike Clarkson and Boyle; he doesn't punch down and chooses his targets at the expense of being popular.

[@lousyromulan554]

Love to see this guy replace Jeremy Clarkson.

[@hugohugo2832]

People have low a threshold of humour. This bloke isn’t funny.

[@imcallingjapan2178]

Do you wear a lot of denim and read The Sunday Times?

[@carthag]

someone fucked with the audience sound here

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

I suppose in much the same way this guy can’t relate to the top gear audience, which you know is always campaigning against women’s and gays rights (I guess I have yet to see that episode?!); I can’t quite relate to this type of guy. 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.

[@kevinjamesdawes7223]

1 question. Why is top gear?.

[@vangroover1903]

Because the flushable dregs deserve their own TV shows.

[@seagoats8923]

Jeremy Clarkson is funnier than Stewart Lee.

[@outlawz310tupac]

He hates it because no matter how hard he try's he will never be on the same level as them . And he probably has a shitty car too

[@joaquinvaleri7022]

I'm still hate top gear ok?

[@mitchtube3]

I like to see amazing cars and reliant Robins being turned into space rockets and more recently, a very silly injured patient delivery system that canons them out the back of a van at absurd velocity. It's enjoyable. I'd like to see a stand-up routine done on loose women, thats far more politically incorrect than anything on TV.

[@jakezywek6852]

Mitch but he wouldn't criticise Loose Women, because he's very much got a liberal agenda. He'll rip the piss out of Western Europe but not other minorities.

[@petehouse8380]

No one’s stopping you...

[@petehouse8380]

Jake Zywek that’s because comedy is funnier when it punches up...

[@countbasie8470]

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

[@joaquinvaleri7022]

I hate top gear obviously

[@squirehaggard4749]

I've never heard of this guy, but my first impression is that he comes across as a left-wing Jeremy Clarkson. Either way I can't stand either of them.

[@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.

Supermarket denim Clarkson fans responsible for brexit

[@SHEEPFETTISH]

The 80's were NOT politically correct

[@bikingbirder2010]

I HATE TOP GEAR!
