This is what real friendships looks like. Honest and open. They express themselves but don't take offence. It's heartwarming to watch really. They're like brothers.
I appreciate how calm James is after Clarkson gets him with the hose. Like he's dealing with an unruly toddler that doesn't know any better. Which, it's Clarkson. . .
Even better, he mentions on the DVD commentary that he was honestly close to considering punching Clarkson for that but stopped because of the camera. Seemed calm on the surface but was really fed up underneath.
I think I caught a bit of James saying "think how fussy YOU are about those things..." around 0:28 in regards to people's lunches. It's funny knowing that Jeremy slugged a producer over lunch or dinner. This Trio just gets funnier and funnier, even unwittingly. A Masterpiece.

James knows that organization is the key. I built 2 bookcases and the first one took about 10 hours and almost all of the cuss words known to man. The time I organized things, took 5 hours and only one

7:05 me arguing with my thesis supervisor about the practicalities of using table salt mixed with water vs using sea salt mixed with water to raise brine shrimp for an experiment to test toxicity, then later having the same argument of setting an agar medium to grow algae on
The thing is, they are two different extremes and it's hilarious to watch. I know I would get frustrated at Mays naming spaners and inability to hurry up and I would get equally annoyed at Clarksons shoot first, ask questions later attitude 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There's also the fact that Clarkson has said before that he doesn't respond well to shouting, but he's the first to shout orders 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Niks V, I discovered your channel this year and I’d like to say thank you for making me laugh with these compilations you make. They are brilliant and I admire the fact you keep finding new subjects even though there are only a certain number of shows to choose from. Keep it up and a new year mate. Cheers
These guys are like 3 brothers: James is the responsible, short-tempered oldest, Hammond the mediating, emotionally neglected middle child, Clarkson the spoiled and annoying, yet strangely charismatic youngest.
Speaking as a middle child of 3 lads (men, really, my younger brother is 23 and my older brother is a parent), I’d say their real ages line up with how me and my brothers tend to be, my older brother being a bit daft and impatient, me being pedantic, and my little brother either giving out one liners or just being happy to be there and be the little one (figuratively speaking, anyway, i’m the tallest and my and my little brother are noticeably taller than our older brother)
My preference in Entertainment comes to the point where I enjoy watching and listening to a bunch of middle aged men bicker about various things. No complaints so far.
Because it is always you "older brothers" that makes life miserable for the rest of us! If I had my way anyone that is a "big brother" would be sent into the salt mines!
Like what people say: James: oldest child with ocd Jeremy: middle child who looks sensible but likes to wreck havoc Richard: the hyperactive youngest kid All of them are chaotic, but only jeremy is chaotic evil. Legit.
It's basically a smart logical old man vs young ADHD artistic rebel kid (even though the old man I'd younger than the kid), of course they're not going to get along. & Sometimes the young one watches on caught between the two bit knowing what to make if it, how to behave, whose side to take our having to be the mediator
Hands down the absolute best show to ever grace a television screen…EVER!!!!!! BBC lost millions and millions and millions when they ended this show!!!(yes I know it still airs )but nobody cares about the new Top Gear
BBC is owned by the government so they are exempt from the consequences of losing money because they can just get it from taxpayers. Therefore they have realistically very little incentive to make good decisions that are profitable.
@@michaelm5542 really? Tons of fans would beg to differ. The reviews are quite bad. Maybe thats cause fans hold the new cast with the same level of comedy and chemistry that we get from the trio. Its because of them that i stayed away from the new top gear.
@@foxyloxyBABE that’s fair. But then there have been plenty of positive user reviews (critics rated Grand Tour poorly, remember), along with negative ones. I recommend you give it a try, if not at least for the Harris information films. (Colin McRae)
I think one of the major problems of the current (as of 2022) top gear is that it is too happy/friendly. The presenters get along with each other far too well. I think one of the reasons we all loved the original so much is because sometimes they DIDNT get along. And it was hilarious.
You should do a compilation of people Jeremy wouldn’t want to go to dinner with. Like when there is a new technology on a car and he says ‘how much I would not want to go to dinner with the man who invented that’.

That was a genuine fight 100%
"You cannot build a tent by shouting" 😅

With his huge eyes and short body yea it does seem this way haha
That's offensive to children of divorce, quite frankly.
And that's even funnier. Carry on!
"Dad and dad are arguing again"
-Hammond
He is like. Why did I go to work today.

The hilarious thing is, James was originally knocked back from the job because the producers thought he was “too similar” to Jeremy
Lmao they didnt factor in his ocd cause its hella hilarious to watch
James May refused to participate in Season 1 because he didn't believe in the new format of the program.
@@HyperVegitoDBZ The actual truth
If you just look at the memes and caricatures, they are opposites
@@HyperVegitoDBZ no, he didn’t take part in the first series because he got lost at the 2nd Albert Hall 🤣
Quite frankly most of these arguments are purely based on James May's OCD.
Which is pure gold!
And Jeremy knowing exactly how to push his buttons
It's pretty much not so different from the James May OCD compilation
Well, a combination of his OCD and Jeremy's complete lack of patience; quite literally the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.
"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY BLOODY SHED, MAN!"
Fucking cracks me up every time. There's so much genuine anger in that one line.
“It’ll buff out” just takes the cherry
And then "is this airing at 10 o'clock on BBC?"
"Yes"
"Are we past the watershed?"
"Yes"
"You're a fu-"

Having grown up and matured watching this show, I now realise that James was very correct in everything he did.

No contest. I've seen these clips so many times and I still lose it every time.

what exactly is a "fully rigged, rate A1 ocean-going pillock"?
Something spectacular I believe
means Clarkson is really good at being a pillock
Those are all Nautical terms to describe the sea worthiness of a ship
Not the pillock bit obviously
Well if you're being literal about it, precisely that, I would've thought
Being a mechanic I feel May's pain with the missing socket. My tool box has to be organized just right. Jeremy would drive me nuts to lol 😆
he already does lol
And even now, watching these old clips over and over again is about a million times better than the 'new' Top Gear!
I think Hammond sums it up perfectly:
"This could go on..."
I love how the two blokes with shovels at 2:57 are practically doing nothing

And the throwing of a rock at Clarkson. May looked genuinely pissed off at that moment.
One of the few times he’s thought of killing Jeremy
Putting a machete against someone's face is a VERY convincing argument that they should not bump your car again on the death road.
