Hello! I'm the original poster of this video. I need to address something: The idea that "being offended" is a sign of weakness or a lack of understanding is a false (but common) mindset. I agree that some people are very quick to get offended on behalf of others, even when they themselves don't know a lot about the context or even the issue they're getting offended over. That's the sort of offense that I don't mind causing. Hammond's Mexican comments, though, were far beyond the line of good taste. I'm certain that the three of them have never actually gotten to know someone who is Mexican, or had any real Mexican food (because most of it is effing delicious). Offense has its place, and I don't look down on anyone who is genuinely offended by something. I try to be a nice person and accommodate their emotional minefield (because we all have one). I want to make it clear that *it is okay to be genuinely offended*, especially when it's about something that causes one a lot of pain, fear, or anger. Do people "get offended too often these days?" Not necessarily. There are a lot of things that cause hurt, and some damn good reasons why they do. It's the people who seem to get a rush by being a part of someone else's supposed outrage that make me laugh and roll my eyes. We both seem to agree that seeing hosts relaxed, honest, and mostly unfiltered is a good thing. Cheers. :-)
@@MrRobot191 I think the majority of us can, actually. And yet somehow we're all still saying "nobody can take a joke anymore", all at the same time. It's bizarre.
Working with Jeremy was always a challenge. Often fun, but just as often an absolute nightmare. Especially that American trip. He and James were trying to outdo each other at being offensive.
MoJozZ I know this. I have a mate that came here from South Carolina when he was 5 so he’s basically British. But when I see his family I joke or be sarcastic they just do not get it at all. Or get offended when it’s just banter
It's funny. Our stereotype of the Yanks rude, self centred and egotistical whilst they find us offensive and bad mouthed. It really is very interesting when one compares cultures.
@@scootergrant8683 is it really a stereotype of americans being rude. Every person who has a travel channel says americans are the friendliest most polite people
Bruh it would honestly be more entertaining to watch a bunch of ice cubes melt in slo-mo than watch you react to something you couldn't care less about
Yes Ashtyn! Got too the heart of it, I find British stereotypes hilarious and imagine most people feel the same about their own demographic. TV isn't as good anymore bc you can tell they're walking on eggshells.
Top Gear is a legendary TV show that's really really famous around the world. Every Brit has watched it. Well, dunno about the new kids but as a 90's kid, definitely grew up with this show, it's where a lot of us got our car info lol
For Americans who don't know first a sat nav (satellite navigation) is another word for gps but the portable ones people used mainly in the 2000s and the australia joke is based on the fact that Australia was founded as a country/land for the UK to send prisoners so the joke is that the australian guys came back to the UK the same way they left, as prisoners etc
"Nowadays nobody can take a joke..." I remember those days when you went too far you would have gotten punched in the face and then you would know your limit Good 'ol times
That bit with Top Gear Australia Host arriving in Prison Van.. means that Australia was originally a Penal Colony. Yu know.. Whilst people move to resettle in the 13 colinies (now USA).. the criminals wre shipped of to Botany Bay (Now East Coast AUstralia) And.. Im an Aussie.. and i find it hilariously funny... lol
I remember in 6th grade we had a teacher that said don't watch anything offensive like top gear, no one knew what that was so I put It on my phone to my speaker played out loud, I was getting suspended for sure, but the jokes they made because everyone started watching the video hallways I ended up getting expelled and kicked out my middle school
I love top gear, never gets old. Nobody should take offence it’s all in good fun all this you can’t say shit nowadays is bollocks like 😉 you guys are quality
The Mexican comment episode did get them into trouble. It was mostly Hammond. You have to remember for British people, they don't have a lot of interactions with Mexicans like say Americans do. Their stereotypes is based on old cartoons and tv shows. Whereas Americans see Mexicans as hard workers, the British don't have that knowledge. The inverse would be Indians, which the British know well and Americans less so.
Fun fact Clarkson is that unfiltered back in 2015 had his contract dis-continued after he punched a producer, he now presents the Grand Tour on Amazon with the other two.
The Mexican Government were so cross (offended) by the description of the national stereotype that the Top Gear 3 were invited to the Mexican Embassy in London, where, it was reported, they all got hammered on Tequila, apologised and parted the best of friends; that's how to resolve a conflict ;)
The Mexican stereotype probably stems from the Spanish stereotype of people who sleep all day because its too hot to work. Ya know like siestas and all that. Just banter.
The bit about Saudi Arabia, they were talking about hydrogen fuel cells, once it's all figured out, and the infrastructure is in place, the Saudis and all oil producing countries in the middle east will go broke, because the economy of each of those countries rely on just oil exports.

TheDoh60 the UK media gave them publicity.
@@CycolacFan it was fashionable to hate these "middle aged" men. But most of the public loved top gear
I stopped watching when they canned Clarkson. Glad they all left together and did the Grand Tour
And to think the media was trying to sell themselves to the uk public. 😂 They missed a trick.
@Cryer24597 well, i liked him. Confidence is mistaken for arrogance and smugness for those that look for faults in people.

They never fired Clarkson. His contract for another season of Top Gear wasn't renewed.
And firing clarkson has basically killed the BBC. They should have just taken some bad media in the short term and kept clarkson
I think the producer he hit is now a producer on grand tour.
It was under the impression it wasnt a producer he hit, just someone from the general staff type thing. They fired clarkson, james mays contract was coming up for renewal which they chose not to renew and hammond finished out his contract then left
A Turek - clarkson was,looking to leave because he could make more money elsewhere. He engineered his exit.
350 million people watched Top Gear with “CLARKSON” Hamster & May (Mr Slowly) the most watched tv show......
In The World. 👍

@Falopian Tube true
Don’t think they got it though
I guess most of the humour went way over there heads
americans for ya
Connor A I know right? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they didn’t even know, what a fucking slope was lol.
Americans: eveyones very fat everyones very stupid eveyones very rude 😂
Even "slope" which was a US derogatory term....
That blank stare
I’d say 90% of Brits would say it’s a classic, absolutely amazing then the other 10% that would say it’s not my cup of tea but it was certainly very very popular when the trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May presented it!
Wow watching this British jay Leno uncensored is so refreshing. Where have the good ol days gone.
Back then Rowan Atkinson was in a beautiful tv show.

The funniest joke ever, was racist AND sexist, but it was still HILARIOUS.
This show would unfortunately never work nowadays if it were new because everyone is offended by everything. Glad to see Ashtyn not get offended. 👍
"because everyone is offended by everything."
All the more reason to make 'offensive' comedy (people have to bloody well grow up SOMETIME) !!!

The got in a lot of trouble for their Mexican jokes. I'd never heard them until this video, I only knew of the fallout.
Yeah america, thats real free speach right there
Yes Ashtyn! Got too the heart of it, I find British stereotypes hilarious and imagine most people feel the same about their own demographic. TV isn't as good anymore bc you can tell they're walking on eggshells.
You didn’t get half the jokes 🤣
Feel you have to be British to understand a lot of this humour 😂
What do you expect from Americans
The slope joke was like a jumbo jet..... it went over there head
" it went over there (sic) head"
Unfortunately, some Americans are unfamiliar with....................... American slang !
Amazing how the Americans thought it was so offensive and the British never do...
At what point are we required to act offended for someone we've never met and know f-all about.
This was the first decent discussion I've seen you guys have after watching a video.
These clips are not offensive. This is British humour at it's best
“Change gear murder a prostitute” I couldn’t breath for a solid 5 mins 😂😂

That trio made my childhood, legends
Thank you guys so much for reviewing bits of the old top gear, keep em coming.
They are just as willing to laugh at themselves. That's key. It's typical English pub banter put on a TV programme. Don't take it so seriously .
For Americans who don't know first a sat nav (satellite navigation) is another word for gps but the portable ones people used mainly in the 2000s and the australia joke is based on the fact that Australia was founded as a country/land for the UK to send prisoners so the joke is that the australian guys came back to the UK the same way they left, as prisoners etc
"Nowadays nobody can take a joke..."
I remember those days when you went too far you would have gotten punched in the face and then you would know your limit
Good 'ol times
watching you how you watch them being offensive but like 90% not knowing exactly why and what do they mean... It's hilarious
Agreed
3:44 Okay note they brought the Australians in a prison van because Australia back then was a prison colony for the empire
I already know they aren't gonna understand the humour
6:22 that joke went straight over your heads lmfao, gear being cocaine
Americans often get confused with English banter, the more offensive the closer the friendship.
That bit with Top Gear Australia Host arriving in Prison Van.. means that Australia was originally a Penal Colony. Yu know.. Whilst people move to resettle in the 13 colinies (now USA).. the criminals wre shipped of to Botany Bay (Now East Coast AUstralia)

I love that, probably unknowingly, Ashtyn said 'in the world' the right way given the context.
This is the tv content we need
In the uk, we don't do tacos so much as we have our own cuisine. We have Chinese, Italian, turkish. Lots to choose from.
Top gear....there will never be another show like it

Lol, they didn’t get the slope comment.
I think they did.
rob 998 it’s a racist term, I suggest going to Urban Dictionary to find the term.
@rob 998 rude term for East Asian people, East Asian fella on the bridge. Low joke kinda funny blown out of proportion.
I watch this a few times a week
With Americans, the whole thing about "fat" is the king size McDonalds, the big eating challenges, the giant buckets of ice cream and chips 😉
The peak of British TV
Best part of the weekend was Sunday evening when topgear was on. Loved it as a kid. Still watching them on amazon
Im English and Mexican's probably my favourite food!
Also remember all of this "offensiveness"was paid for by the BBC haha
Top Gear had a weekly audience of 350 million in over 130 countries.
Still never got it when he laughed at the saudi’s

If you still want to see more of them there new show is called (The Grand Tour)
Its more just a generalization joke... Ashtyn hits the nail on the head.

Why did she mention Spain when the top gear chaps were talking about Mexico ?
Fuck knows, empty?
It's not offensive, it's funny.

The difference is whether it is in the name of comedy or actually trying to offend someone. These guys are doing a comedy car show.
