I love how they are surrounded by amazing animals and they just stare at a combover
Ok, but to be fair, that was a really good combover.
@@Qvartz_Lite Yeah
it was an amazing combover
Funniest part of the whole episode
I love animals so much, but I think I'd be the same.
“It can open its jaw. It’s a thing it can do”
Sometimes Clarkson’s genius is almost frightening
he said i think it can do... and then tried to remember how wide it can open
I might be wrong, but I think it can also close its jaw. Incredible.
It generates gravity

well they are much more dangerous than lions

@O.G Autistler idk even know what was ur og comment
Fun fact: bloke at 2:46 noticed the filming, rushed home and came back wearing shirt and tie in time for that shot. Legend.
lol
or you know... he was just at work

@@RabbiHerschel the women work and the men sit around looking them working
@@z-7918 hunting for food! Guys surely you are not this ignorant, are you? You should venture out into Africa sometimes or even watch videos of contemporary African countries to shed this ignorance
Must be wierd turning around to see 3 men looking at you through their binoculars and a filming crew with a big TV camera filming straight at you. I wonder what his reaction was afterwards lol
If he's like dale gribble his worst fears are confirmed.
That was an incredible comb over though
@Jonathan Canosa OBVIOUSLY A TYPO YOU BINT
Looked like General sisi of Egypt
@Jonathan Canosa Uh-oh it's the grammar Nazis again. Seriously y'all basement dwellers get hard off of internet typos.
O look, A hippos head. Well it is probably a whole hipo but the rest is under water.
+Aron May lolololl
@Cymes thank you captain
that kind of joke always kill me lol
Probably the best top gear line ever. So perfectly delivered...
its motto motto
The editing team is hilariously subtle. At 3:18 they put the honey badger carrying balls lol
oh my god I
never noticed that before
and the Lion is eating a leg! and the hippo a...head? never saw this before, TG was brilliant.
Thats why I read the comments... additional lore like this. Thank you!
Yes, subtle as a sledge hammer through a plate glass window lol
Loool thats such a treat! 😀
Ooh that’s clever!
''You're bald!''
''...live with it!''
The banter on Top Gear was incredible.
“USE MY BRAKES WHY DONT YOU”
“IVE LOST A SKULL”
“monkeys!”
“IM SORRY I CANT-”
*CRASHING SOUNDS*
*thud as something falls from the tree*
A Michigan Boi Whose Real Lazy it looks like a bird
this is so chaotic
The typical TG everyday commentary then
HAHAHAHAHA
I love how Hammond and Clarkson were arguing, all the while Captain Slow casually points out the monkeys.
FWTNTH-cam if
Lol
"Look Jojo, a flock of flamingos"
FWTNTH-cam reminds me of when they drove their makeshift convertible into a safari enclosure
@@sfoster.23 HAHAHA yeah May was insistent that monkeys are more dangerous than lions!!!
I love how they have their Mad Max cars and Hammond is just absolutely cruising in his pristine Oliver
"Well, help yourself to my brakes, why not(!)"
"I've lost a skull!"
*M O N K E Y S*
A summarisation of my last three brain cells finally giving up.
XD I can't stop laughing
3 brain cells?
N-Gin & TonicTM I was laughing so hard at that part😂
5:50
but he was right
"james has my bag! wait... THIS IS MY TENT
GET IT OOOUUTTT"
probs best part in the entire episode
one of the funniest moments in Top Gear history imo
Damn, Richard Hammond goes hard. He masturpranked.
9:24
I see you again ha
9:25
"Badgers go away."
best defence tactic in the world :D

+lalo flores hahah XD LOL.
also james- "can anyone else smell burning or is it just my car" richard- "is it like a BBQ smell" I also died
+Stryke I ain't evil how dare you
The Botswana Special was really their first epic adventure for Top Gear. It first aired on November 4th 2007 and set the basics down for their future epic specials which kicked off with the 2008 Vietnam Christmas Special. The Polar Special aired in July 2007 and was also a learning curve for the specials.
Rewatched the Polar special yesterday. That was a pretty insane one to attempt.
I’m watching this episode now - impatiently waiting for next The Grand Tour episode 17DEC2021!
Ay my birthday! 4th november
5:39 to 6:04 just perfectly sums up Top Gear. Clarkson in trouble going too fast with problems, Hammond getting annoyed and crashed into, James just living in his own world. Love it.
"You're bald, live with it."
Jade Cleveland Oops, he caught me looking!
Sorry :D
Or the honey badger
Look at that sun now boys
Elephants, Rally special stage, best comb over I've ever seen, everything is here.
i know right ... it's like keeping pedro mustache
Hammond: "Why is it called a Honey Badger then?"
Clarkson: "Well that's what made it angry." XD
"Why isn't it called 'the Badger of Death'?"
May said "Why is it called a honey badger"
The honey badger really *_is_* one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
Hamond you should keep planking james
Killing Bites in a nutshell
The Honey Badger with the testies on the map at 3:20 gets me every time
I never even noticed that thanks for pointing it out.
God...
I've watched this episode thousands of times and I've never noticed that!
Your comment should be pinned on top. Thanks for pointing us to it. Those wonderful weird illustrations should have gotten more screen time.
Hahaha, the amount of times I've watched this special and never noticed that!!
Surprised nobody noticed the bird fall out of the tree clarkson hit at 6:00 😂😂
It sounds, *duugggg*
not a bird. on the commentary the cameraman say he was sat in the tree to get the shot and his giggles fell

- there's probably a whole hippo, it's just the rest of it is under water....
The joke in its physical version.
6:55
200 dislikes are probably from that bald man
+Hanif Purbaya and his 4 partings
Or maybe from African kids who had their meat bought and then wasted by some white people xD
True lol
You guys know that was a full town right? If they didn’t have meat they probably wouldn’t have welding tools.
You win comments section mate.
7:34 best part “There’s a Man over there with the best comb over...”
Imagine being surrounded by various exotic wildlife and you get impressed with some dude with a combover
5:29 james whistling colonel boogey at river khwai is underrated
Absolutely
I can only imagine what all those people were thinking, watching these guys waste all that meat.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I can only assume they gave them a bunch of money and food from their set.
i think it says on the DVD commentary that the meat was bought of the villagers
They used a few pieces of unidentified meat for a joke. Therefore, the country will starve.
***** Not at all what I said, or the point I was making, but thanks for playing.
Pete Brown Them promoting Botswana will justtttt probably cancel that out
Hangon this is my tent! Get it out XD
haha

@@MakeJerold The thing is that they don’t host Top Gear anymore. They’ve moved onto the Grand Tour.
@@britanimates3293 i want them to shoot new tour with these old cameras to recreate the original athmosphere
@@MakeJerold Clarkson May and Hammo have all died several times over the course of Top Gear history. Explosions, getting crushed by raining pianos, going over cliffs, and so on
"All adders are puffs" Kills me every time I see it. May really is the funniest of the 3.
What's cute about Hammond' affection for 'Oliver', is he still has it. lol "This week on too late to look!!" .. still cracks me up.
Just watched Hammond driving Oliver on his way to his new restoration garage in 2021!
6:53 Jeremy: "Look! A Hippo's head." James: "It's probably a whole hippo, it's just the rest of it is under the water."
loooool

These guys are the most badass dudes.. camping 5 feet from a hippo family, filming it like a horror movie but still calm as could be while "narrating" the whole thing... oh and all while playing with a dead smelly cows head in the middle of Africa where lions can smell it a mile away and everything else wants to eat you. Cheers fellas. 11/10.
As they say, bravery or stupidity
I'm sure it's edited to make the hippos look much closer. They're amongst the most dangerous animals in Africa, I doubt anybody would let them camp that close.
I love how Jeremy specifies the model and year of his Lancia when ordering a new roof.
The man has a great sense of comedy.
its been 11years how are you?
@@yz2374 haha
Jeremy should get a new career as a wildlife show host. "It is shoveling water into its mouth with its long nose" That stuff would be hilarious! An ex car show host who don't know anything about animals nor even liking animals, hosting a show about wildlife. It would be like a hard core version of "true facts"
Sohave "It can open its' jaw, it's a thing it can do"
+Sohave "It's urinating. . . again. . . ah. . . now it's defecating. . . oddly enough, not on its urine. . . now it's looking horny. . . now it's looking at me. . . I must get a car show again!"
+Sohave Clarkson and Snoop Dogg co-hosting a season of planet earth.
+Sohave
ohhh yes!
and how about a cooking program, where top chefs from around the world make food for a panel of judges who knows sh*t about food, and just watch them get booted out for the most ridiculous reasons. " sorry but i don´t like onions, you´re out" it could be amazing!
The elephant is lifting its paw like a dog. Or hoof. What’s it called on an elephant?
*“They’ve stopped for a drink...*
*Using their noses to shovel water... into their mouths”*
“Jeremy that’s a rubbish commentary”
My sides are in orbit
2:31 This is actually some next level welding. Having one guy stick weld a joint with another guy working another wire into the puddle, those guys might be using some third world equipment but they know what they're doing.
So far cry 4 is not wrong about the honey badger
They take 230000000 bullets to kill
Most aggressive animal in the world.
+The All Knowing ikr
honey badger don't care honey badger don't give a shit
No but I love some far cry 4
Hammond and Oliver. Best thing ever 😊

+Oliver Blake your name most be Richard
+Hannah Innes
Hi again.
You're wrong - Jezza and Hammond are best, cause they always do some hilarious stuff while drinking :P
He actualy ownes that car today!
It was actually Top Gear episodes like this that changed my entire existence. I worked hard all my life for the opportunity to drive nice cars but I would often get bored of them and trade them for different ones. But this show made me realize that I could drive cheap cars, mod them to hell, have a lot more fun driving them because I wouldnt be worried about minor damages, have interesting stories to tell and still have an abundance of money left over to travel the world.
Can't wait to really do it TG style and enjoy it just like they did 😊
Hammond was at his cheekiest in this one 😂
when i tell my friends that James may is my favorite one of the three they don't understand me, his dry sarcasm humor is just unbeatable
He’s my absolute favorite! He is brillant!
I feel really sorry for him, while he never show any pettiness toward them, they always tend to do rather unpleasent shit on his behalf xD
7:42 Haha, these three guys are fun together, especially with Jeremy’s laughter!
According to the Top Gear book 'Ambitious But Rubbish' it said that one of things that didn't appear in the show was when a local guide discovered that Clarkson and Hammond put raw meat and a cow's head in May's car the guide gave them a telling off for putting the crew at risk from animal attack
“Bridge over the river Kwai”
That’s called Foreshadowing. In some way
It gets me every time when Jeremy is giggling or laughing xD
Yeah, also in the grand tour... He has such a dead pan humour and when he starts laughing you know it's funny!
James May's laugh is just 😂
I can't
"This is my tent!" It got me. LOL.
At 1:55 I like that guys attitude. With only tarpaulin and corrugated metal they could build anything, and I believe him wholeheartedly.
That’s a fairly common thing to say in most of the fab shops I’ve worked in. The better way to say it is “Everything is possible given enough time and money”.
The wildlife commentary was hilarious 😆I would watch hours of that!
06:55: "Look, a hippo´s head!"
"There´s probably a whole hippo, just the rest is under the water."
07:14: "They stopped for a drink... using their noses to shovel water into their mouths."
07:24: "That one´s lifting its paw a bit like a dog does. Hoof. Foot. Whatever you call it."
6:55 for hippo head scene. thank me later
TheOwnWay thhhnxxx
Thanks hahaha. Thats the reason im here.
TheOwnWay The meme is funniest :D
TheOwnWay thanks xD
Thank you
8:20 'spooky' is the name of the song. I love it
"all adders are puffs"😂😂
@Clay Foster "puff" is a slur meaning gay.
Back when tv wasn’t so woke, and you could have banter
@@astradala1845 what is it with people like you you cry over non existent stuff. Yes less people will laugh at puff these days, but that's because people find it less funny. It's like saying wokeness ended slapstick comedy, no it's just taste changed. But you are not funny enough to come up with Jokes people will actually laugh at, so you blame them.
@@Alex-cw3rz No. people got 10x more sensitive and now comedy is everything is censored because of cancel culture and social media. Has nothing to do with the complete spiel you just said. You sound like you’re hard left.
@@astradala1845 yea and you're one of the overly sensitive sods
5:56 “monkies”
9:24
Hammond: "Hang on. That's my bag in James' ten-THIS IS MY TENT!"
Clarkson: >XD
Actually Clarkson was right, Honey Badger is ferocious little animal compared to lions and hyenas but Honey Badger will fight lions if lions messing with them. And fight lions ALONE unlike hyenas fight lions with their group and an timmid fight unlike Honey Badger charging into lions. Hell, even Honey Badger eat poisonous snake even if he got bitten he's gonna dead and waking up again. That's how scary Honey Badger is.
caalcb7 Ratel power
they are partially immune to venom,
And add to that description clarkson said it'll tear your testicles 😂 🤣 ✌🏻
I love the broken english of this comment
creeper gaming - "He's gonna dead and waking up again"
It just occurred to me that this style of humour was ahead of its time! The dialogue, editing and interactions would fit in today with all the chaotic energy lmao
God i miss prime Top Gear
3:21- I love how they actually put a honey badger
The cars look straight out of a Mad Max film
"I am the Road Warrior."
*Mad Jeremy
*Mad May
Mad Hamster
*Mad Gear
I like to imagine... the elephant lifting its foot to be pointing out that man's come-over to Jeremy.
XD
Omg soooooooi right
I can't believe how old this special is and that's been around since before I left school. Watching it again after all these years, it still feels as fresh as the day it was first broadcast.
Ikr. I've watched these specials over and over countless times. I know pretty much every joke and everything that happens in them but they are always just as funny and cool to watch as the first time around. Honestly, it's the chemistry they all have. It doesn't feel like a car show but more like the camera crew found three really good mates and pointed a camera at them.
They will always be an absolute joy to watch because you can tell they all enjoy the time they spend together.
5:56 is the best moment in all of Top Gear
Now that top gear is gone they should put up full episodes on you tube
i like it when jeremy says " they stay in the water all day, and then they come out at night because... i dont know why." and then hammond says " thanks that was very useful." and then at the end " this is my tent!"
at 6:33 do yall hear that? someone says "little fluffy clouds"
It's in the song
Lol, i love how thats Opel is still the one with the good condition and Hammond realy realy loves his car 😂
The humour in this was great ! And what an amazing performance from 'Oliver'
Hammond when he realizes he's in his own tent at the end :-D
7:50 killed me, the way the man looks and immediately looks away with that look on their face kills me
The Honey Badger: A creature so vicious and bloodthirsty that they named a gun after it.
“All adders are puffs” lmao
I cried when James said your bald and the bloke turned around 😂😂
I like how Jeremy’s loudspeaker is just an excuse to put a siren on his car
this is the essence of top gear. weird half put together cars, creative editing, and great humor.
The top gear specials are IMO some of the best TV ever created.
lol that bird 6:03
BloodAngel500 iiii
'Whys it called a honey badger?'
'Well thats what made it angry'😂😂😂
BRILLIANT!😂😂😂
Richard's reaction at 0:40 is just such a british way of calling bs :D
The locals were like:
"What the *Hell* are these idiots doing?!"
7:51 when you’re high with friends in public
0:48 "In order to protect us from the lions and the honey badgers" I CANT😂😂
seeing James whistle to bridge over the river quae just made my day.
"That one's lifting his paw up a bit like a dog! Hoof, foot? What is it on an elephant?" Haha these 3 are my favourite trio
its been ten years how are you ?
I really love this shot at 4:53. It looks small but nimble in the sandy roads of Africa
JEREMY: I AM THE ROAD WARRIOR, MAD JEREMY!! HAHA
The hippo's head comment is at 6:52 :)
Thanks you for the public service, thought the video is a treat until then.
Turns out honey badgers get their name from their main food-honey. They tear open the hive and due to some evolutionary advantage are virtually unaffected by the stings. So, a badger that tears open bees hives and isn't affected by the stings, great...
4 years too late, but they eat bee larvae, not honey
Must be amazing. I mean I don't feel the stings but the places gets swollen so bad it starts to hurt.
All the specials these 3 have done have been amazing. But this one just had a different soul to it. And the middle east one as well.
I watched this multiple times, and only now just realised the Honeybadger with testicles in its mouth at 3:20 . you love to see the tiny extras they include in the show
The man with the combover oh my god
the head in a tent bit has me convinced that these three are actually trying to kill each other
Friend talking about a car "Look at that car(*insert car name here*)"
Me: 6:41
6:58 Well thanks may
"This is enough to shake the skulls of your bonnet. ... and no one has ever said that before." :D
+Stryke Amen to that XD.
7:57
*turns around to look again*
-Look! A hippo`s head!
-It`s probably a whole hippo, it`s just that the rest of him is under water
4:02 LMAO. "It's a police car"
THIS IS STILL THE BEST EPISODE OF TOP GEAR
"Because.. I can't remember why" 😂
"Well thank you, that's usef- thank you" 9:05
Thank you Top Gear for seeing sense and putting more or less full episodes as parts.
I still find it hilarious that Hammond takes so long to figure out that he had dumped the cow's head in his own tent.
Clarckson: a honeybadger does not eat you to kill you it tears off... your testicles.
Hammond: it does not.
3:30 honey badger with testicles in its mouth lmaoo i love these guys
the comb over part is a perfect example of what this show is all about
