I love how the very first one is *two" references in one: - "Jennifer": we all know the opening is "The Allman Brothers Band- Jessica", but Clarkson waged that, should the Porsche 918 Spyder was quicker than the McLaren P1 [the Ferrari TheFerrari wasn't available yet], he would have change his name to Jennifer. It is quite the coincidence that viewer chose that specific name... - "You never hear it anymore, do you?": well... There's no explaining this. It's subtly brilliant, that.
That final scene in front of an audience.... After watching EVERY new Top Gear episode and getting Amazon Prime Video just for the Grand Tour, it hits me in the feels every time.
These three guys are just about the best thing on television. Seriously who else has the banter, chemistry, and friendship of them? They’ve brought me endless laughter and good times over the years.
Sometimes, there's that point in s tv show, when someone involved thinks is stronger than the show itself. Usually, they mess up thinking they can get away with it, but they end in failure. But there are rare occasions when they are right, when they give life to the show and no one in production can stop them. Top Gear is the best example of this phenomenon. These 3 guys are Top Gear, no matter how any other banner they fly. And actual Top Gear, it's now just a flavorless mush... Kind of like modern comedy.
True. The most intelligent step for a network normally is to say: "ok, the show has died with the demise of its presenters". But BBC had contracts to fulfill..
I watched a few with the first lineup, my God it was bad, then had the misfortune of seeing the current lineup and oh Lord cringingly terrible. Anything that mcguinness is in tho is absolute twoddle, all he does is shout and think he's funny.
you missed a couple in Hammond's car reviews: - Lamborghini Huracan Performanté: him referencing his review of the base Huracan in Top Gear - NIO EP9: referencing his jet fuel dragster crash
God *Tesla* can't take criticism XD. Wonder what they would've done if TGT had critiqued the dodgy build quality and flammability. (Ferrari didn't do anything when their flammable wheel arches were made fun of)
@@jimtaylor294 that's one of the reasons I dislike tesla, they have the self inflated ego to charge the money they do for their cars, while the build quality is atrocious, and then try to hide it under the environmentally friendly, "future inspiring". Their not the only big player in the eco friendly game, and they need to realise that and improve if they want to survive
Nah it was actually rather dodgy business, try reading up about it. Apparently top gear had scripted (even b4 they received the cars to review) that at one point one of them would breakdown
Only at the part where one of the audience said "Don't stop!". I don't care if that was random or staged. Nobody wants this to stop. It tugs at the heartstrings.
No, why do grown adults cry for a tv show especially when it obviously hasn't ended, IE the trio still make essentially the same show, more or less. The specials are good!
You missed the one where Richard is testing the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Something like "I tested the original Huracan on a car show, in a galaxy far far away. This is what it should've been." Season 2 episode 7.
the clip before the ending of the seamen special proved that they absolutely enjoyed and loved the hell out of their job and being together as a trio, they are the most amazing trio and best of friends ive ever seen and them being together is a sight to behold everytime, no matter how complicated it gets, they still manage to pull it off, they hold an ideal friendship to have, truly admiring they are.
One thing I will always remember about Vietnam is losing an Uncle I barely knew. My Uncle was a Marine and flew helicopters, he was shot at, shot up, and shot down. After his first tour of duty was completed he decided to stay over there a little while longer. One day he was riding his motorcycle and a truck pulled out in front of him; that was his last day.
I had a Lexus ISF...and my dad's insurance company said I had to pay 2000 dollars to have a LoJack installed on it before they would insure it...their reason...because the wheels were some of the most commonly stolen...the wheels...
you forgot about when Richard was reviewing the huracan performante and he said on a car show in a galaxy far far away he was talking about when he reviewed the normal huracan on season 22 of top gear
These guys are some of the luckiest blokes alive. The cars, the travel, the money, their fun and experiences along the way is just amazing. I'd love to watch an hour long video of the three of them just sitting at a table and reminiscing about the time they've spent together over the decades.
Yep, I was waiting for that one. IIRC, they were all listening to the same radio station (probably the only one they could get where they were at) and Jessica came on - and they all had a laugh.
I grew up watching top gear, probably from a way way to early age and I absolutely love the grand tour now, i can’t imagine them not being apart of my life.
I just remembered while watching this video that I haven't yet watched Carnage a Trois. So thank you for that reminder, I'm gna go do that right now ❤️
1:55 - That look into the camera. It was SO precise, not overdone, perfect timing, Clarkson may be a car expert, journalist, etc., but actually he has a bit of a good actor in him.
Another reference is on Season 2, Ep. 2, where the production gives to Clarkson an audiobook to listen while travelling, but it was James May reading a book on how to fix things. In Top Gear Season 16, Ep.7 the production gives to Clarkson a Cd to listen while travelling to not fall asleep but it was Hammond reading On The Edge
I still cant watch the last few minutes of the last episode since it aired. The pain in Jeremy's voice when he says its over is one of the most crushing things ive ever heard. Im enjoying all the specials, and while im sure theyll finally retire soon-ish, i hope its on a much happier note than that gut wrenching scene....
@@DittoGTI according to reports afew years after the calamity the government had the cars crushed, after numerous attempts for them to be stolen. Doubtful, we'll ever know the real truth thou
The trios era on Top Gear was far far better that the Grand Tour. It's an entertaining show of course but at the same time I think the money has spoilt them. They had to be creative to make the BBC budget work, the Amazon money just lets them do what they want.
I think it's more that they had to work within the BBC's standards as well, so they tried to be a close to the knuckle as they could in terms of how appropriate for the timeslot they had to be. On Amazon they didn't have the same restrictions, so sometimes they'd veer off into indulgent bits.
@@jazzygeofferz I would absolutely agree with that. It's a small tangent but I always found Frankie Boyle far funnier on Mock the Week than in his own stand-up shows at the time because as you mention there were certain things that couldn't be broadcast.
They spent 20 years on Top Gear figuring out what works… just for it to be thrown away and have to make the same thing that works but slightly different and the biggest change is more scripting and the lack of stig jokes. The scripting really ruins it for me.
And they have been doing it together for a LONG time. Even before they left Top Gear, there was an element of them repeating themselves, nothing lasts forever

There will never be a better car-enthusiast-show as good as a show with these 3 blokes!
The very first one has always got me 😂 "and the Allman Brothers." "Never heard of them."
I don’t get that one, what are they referencing?
@@edwardstrudwick9851 Jessica by the Allman brothers was the top gear theme song
And when Jeremy asks "What was that hit song of theirs? Jennifer..?"
@@chaoslord8918 you never hear it any more, do you?
3:12
Let's simplify and cut to the chase:
Hammond gets in a car, and crash into things.
Only one reference i can think of that you missed, hammond in the mustang driving past the cennotaph
Wasn't that just out of respect? Whats the reference?
@@KingEddo8 Matt Leblanc and Ken block did donuts in the "hoonicorn" mustang around the cennotaph.
@@lucian6395 Ahhhhh I forgot about that. Thanks
You missed the one where Richard is testing the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Something like "I tested the original Huracan on a car show, in a galaxy far far away. This is what it should've been." Season 2 episode 7.
the clip before the ending of the seamen special proved that they absolutely enjoyed and loved the hell out of their job and being together as a trio, they are the most amazing trio and best of friends ive ever seen and them being together is a sight to behold everytime, no matter how complicated it gets, they still manage to pull it off, they hold an ideal friendship to have, truly admiring they are.
you missed .....what was yorkshire famous for??....."the show where three middle aged men were there and whatever they did went wrong"
Last of the summer gear I think hahahaha
The TGT title is just a fancy way of sticking it to the men "Top Gear Team"
My dad always saw it as "Top Gear Two"...not like that makes much of a difference
So new Top Gear have managed to score hardly half a second of this footage so far
"I hated Vietnam" next episode they go to Vietnam
Well.. sorry for breaking in. But clarkson likes Vietnam. He just hates being in motorcycle
@@kadalarab5735 was still a funny point to make lol
One thing I will always remember about Vietnam is losing an Uncle I barely knew. My Uncle was a Marine and flew helicopters, he was shot at, shot up, and shot down. After his first tour of duty was completed he decided to stay over there a little while longer. One day he was riding his motorcycle and a truck pulled out in front of him; that was his last day.
Truly, Jeremy being emotional brings tears to my eyes.
3:11, I think Hammond has a history of crashing.
4:05 - should have a warning for upsetting scenes that guarantees to induce tears
Not really a direct reference, but when James brought the Renault Avantime out on the new special I was filled with Nostalgic Top Gear memories.
Reno 😂😂
1:24 guess Tesla tried and failed at saving some ones ego. Twice.
I had a Lexus ISF...and my dad's insurance company said I had to pay 2000 dollars to have a LoJack installed on it before they would insure it...their reason...because the wheels were some of the most commonly stolen...the wheels...
you forgot about when Richard was reviewing the huracan performante and he said on a car show in a galaxy far far away he was talking about when he reviewed the normal huracan on season 22 of top gear
These guys are some of the luckiest blokes alive. The cars, the travel, the money, their fun and experiences along the way is just amazing. I'd love to watch an hour long video of the three of them just sitting at a table and reminiscing about the time they've spent together over the decades.
There was another reference when they drive again on USA, and Jeremy put the radio and the music was the old Top Gear one.
Yep, I was waiting for that one. IIRC, they were all listening to the same radio station (probably the only one they could get where they were at) and Jessica came on - and they all had a laugh.
That was in Top Gear. Unless it happened again
@@interstate366 You are correct: th-cam.com/video/xuRVKfzKaQg/w-d-xo.html My bad.
I absolutely love that stare Richard gives to the camera after saying he's "never" heard of the Allman Brothers.
Hammond really loves Yorkshire 😂😂 how does he manage to crash EVERYTHING 😂😂
In the hurcan performante episode, there was a top gear reference when he talked about the old huracan
The Allman Brothers made a song called Jessica which became Top Gear’s theme song. That’s the reference at the start of the video 😉
Was ittttt, well done you smart boy
I’m gonna be Robin Williams levels of sad when these guys are gone. That was rather morbid, but it’s just weird seeing them get old
4:42 - 4:45 James summed up the cameraside of it, quite well, actually.
I dearly miss the old format!
I grew up watching top gear, probably from a way way to early age and I absolutely love the grand tour now, i can’t imagine them not being apart of my life.
0:35 OLIVER ! 😅
Now Hammonds got a 2nd one, Olivia
5:44 that laugh of the 3 was too real and unscripted
I genuinely love these 3 together 😂
That switch from Tesla to BMW had me quite confused. Took me a little rewind to realise that they were two separate clips. 😅
I just remembered while watching this video that I haven't yet watched Carnage a Trois. So thank you for that reminder, I'm gna go do that right now ❤️
1:55 - That look into the camera. It was SO precise, not overdone, perfect timing, Clarkson may be a car expert, journalist, etc., but actually he has a bit of a good actor in him.
You missed the one by James in Car of the People, where he essentially referenced the sudden demise of the old TG.
Yeah, BBC, you really taught Clarkson a lesson. You torpedoed your most popular show. Well done! 🙄
i mean it was clarksons fault
@@JYMAHJAMES It was, but I think his point is that the BBC did more damage to themselves than they did to Clarkson.
@@nicholasharshbarger4454 I respect what BBC did. Integrity over money. You don't get to punch a coworker, then show up to work the next day.
@@massimoscognamiglio7369 "integrity over money"... With the BBC? I think not.
@@luke5837 Firing Clarkson was a move that valued integrity over money.
These three were brilliant together
The part I enjoyed was Jeremy dropping the "big dumb oaf" act when he lovingly mentioned Oliver.
They will be the best car show presenter. Love them
Quality upload 👍🏻
I got so sad when they started reminiscing about their old memories!😢 but don’t frown cause it’s over smile cause it happened!
So true. And we got to see it happen in our time. 👍
These three guys could make a show just about them sitting in a room and it would still be absolutely hilarious!
Anyone else think these short clips are 1,000 times better than the entire 'new' Top Gear series since these three left?
Another reference is on Season 2, Ep. 2, where the production gives to Clarkson an audiobook to listen while travelling, but it was James May reading a book on how to fix things. In Top Gear Season 16, Ep.7 the production gives to Clarkson a Cd to listen while travelling to not fall asleep but it was Hammond reading On The Edge
I still cant watch the last few minutes of the last episode since it aired. The pain in Jeremy's voice when he says its over is one of the most crushing things ive ever heard.
Im enjoying all the specials, and while im sure theyll finally retire soon-ish, i hope its on a much happier note than that gut wrenching scene....
Aw that last studio episode is so sad
0:24 more like there crushed inside a porsche in argentina
Sad, and the UK government endorsed that.
Wait they crushed the 928?
@@DittoGTI according to reports afew years after the calamity the government had the cars crushed, after numerous attempts for them to be stolen. Doubtful, we'll ever know the real truth thou
@DittoGTI I'd be amazed if they didn't
@@The12thDimension. Bro that's really sad, that car has a large amount of TV significance
I love how they made fun of Hammond for naming Oliver and now that's how they refer to his car.
“Top something or other” left me dead 💀
3:27 love how the crowd cheered Hammond for his list of accidents 😂
Missed opportunity to make a Bottom Gear joke. 00:33
ROIGHT LADS
@@404TVfrfunny very funny 😂😂
I DRIVE A SILENT ELECTRIC CAR
3:44
And it took me 4 years to find that episode
Which one
The trios era on Top Gear was far far better that the Grand Tour. It's an entertaining show of course but at the same time I think the money has spoilt them. They had to be creative to make the BBC budget work, the Amazon money just lets them do what they want.
I think it's more that they had to work within the BBC's standards as well, so they tried to be a close to the knuckle as they could in terms of how appropriate for the timeslot they had to be. On Amazon they didn't have the same restrictions, so sometimes they'd veer off into indulgent bits.
@@jazzygeofferz I would absolutely agree with that. It's a small tangent but I always found Frankie Boyle far funnier on Mock the Week than in his own stand-up shows at the time because as you mention there were certain things that couldn't be broadcast.
They spent 20 years on Top Gear figuring out what works… just for it to be thrown away and have to make the same thing that works but slightly different and the biggest change is more scripting and the lack of stig jokes. The scripting really ruins it for me.
And they have been doing it together for a LONG time. Even before they left Top Gear, there was an element of them repeating themselves, nothing lasts forever
My emotions were on a rollercoaster for this video. I'll miss the old format.
I always smile when I see Oliver
As far as I'm concered Top Gear is no more without these three.
Do a Jeremy Clarkson Cheshire reference video
You wizard, I'm the making of it
I think that when they became old, like 10 years in the future, they will come back with the studio formula, and just talk about new cars
My favorite was the mobile home. When Jeremy was driving next to a truck haha
The 1 dislike is from the Top Gear TH-cam channel
"They're in a Porsche at a police station in Argentina" 💀💀💀
There was also the live show they did post-TG where James accidentally says "Top Gear"
I’m an Argentinian.. and loved the Argentina special ❤️, and the whole story in general
This show was the best show on tv at the time, and there were some good ones at the time!
These men lived the dreams of every child; Driving every single car imaginable with their buddies.
You're god damn right
