Ben Collins (the first white Stig) wrote in his book that one of the key rules of his contract was to be as unpredictable as possible. Because while the presenters were scripted to the max, having him be the unpredictable one forced the presenters to improvise and it always made for good television.
I think the best one was when the stig, what was it? Took public transportation through a Russian city? There's a race between James May and the stig, but I don't remember the exact details.
Some say that he only feels anger, and that he is an ancient Christian weapon who escaped. All we know is, he's not the Stig, but he is the Stig's demon slaying cousin!
The persona of a reckless, petulant child for the Stig was one of the greatest things about old Top Gear, lol. The scouts hitting with a chair is amazing. I bought the parody book that came out years ago about the Stig's origins, it's hilarious.

It's the only scene that's funnier with context
"Oooohh, roight 'n th' plomms!"

I like how even though you can't see the stig's facial expression, it's always super clear how he's feeling.
Especially his Chinese cousin
@@snowfish7294 Yeah, all he feels is *_RAGE_*
The 4 people who disliked this are the stig the stigs Australian cousin the stigs truck driver cousin and the stigs Chinese cousin
What about Stiggy Ray Cyrus?
And Janet Stig Porter?
No no no no....the stigs teenage cousin just made multiple accounts
Bruh that's just 3
Now we have 34 Stig's cousins
Many of 'em are from very secret Top Gear series...
3:32 the way the Stig looks directly at the camera is actually kinda unnerving
idk why but I find it hilarious lol he just starts staring at us
someone stole his cheese
*suspense*
i didn't notice that hahahahahahha
2:45 did he just thumbs up...
Yep i saw it
eagle vision confirmed.
"That's a good sign" the guy says right after. It is a good omen if the Stig is happy.
Stig is okay
While the stig has a character the driver underneath the helmet is still human and does have to break character a slight bit to show he’s fine.
2:10 when the stig gets tired of seeing that damn camera man
Claim to fame, I know one of the scouts who beat up the stig
Was it the guy with the chair 🪑?
@@indianajosh96 Yeah his name is Tom. What a ledge.

I love how when the stig broke something or messes up he just shuts himself off

Yeah, lol. Stig's like a sentient machine that could go completely apeshit at a moment's notice, but has held it together so far
Heard that the Stig is one of the character that's almost completely unscripted, so the things that he did are completely spontaneous and wasn't told to the hosts.
So much emotional depth in a silent character
Some say ... He was able to assault one of the producers and NOT get fired
Whenever the Stig did anything other than take a car around the track I knew it'd be hilarious
This could also be titled “the stig acts like Kimi Raikkonen.”

"You may know him as a mass-murdering psychopath, but we know him as The Stig"
0:56
Has to be the best remark ever made by Mr May.
I love how this stig is basically just a tall, helmet wearing, huffy, child who can drive cars.
I see him as a sentient machine of some kind that could go completely apeshit at a moment's notice, but hasn't yet
„And threw him away“
"That was NOT supposed to happen"
**proceeds to show the shot from ten different angles that could only have captured that specific event**
💀
The stig losing the Koenigsegg was one of the most shocking moments, if not the most shocking in top gear history
The Koenigsegg CCX understood the taste of tire rubber thanks to Stig.
I'm getting master chief vibes from this if you get what I'm talking about

Hey
2:33 bruh why he look like my character in need for speed when i drive off a cliff and smash every single part of my car
Let's play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit driving a convertible and crashed and i relate
He did all his best to ruin those chairs and tables, but it all remained intact.
Everything was going well until Jeremy Clarkson overtook the Stig at Mugello… coincidence? I think not!
The notes in the description of the series's are really helpful, nice touch
The one time where stig shows emotion
Whoever stig actually is he's been having so much fun for so long. I love seeing how he acts stuff out without inflection tone or facial expression
Gonna tell my kids this was doom eternal
Lmao
The Stig looks like he can actually kick my teeth out while standing.
Yeah, especially his Australian cousin. Aussie Stig looks like he could kick your ass on the spot
i find it hilarious when stig is angry or reckless because you cant see the face expression
It’s all fun and games till Stigs Chinese cousin shows up.
Man I wish we could talk to our driver he's just sitting there like a TV on stand by

The stig Is the impersonation of Kimi Raikkonen (pure anger or no emotions)
You know when your car is fast when the Stig spins or crashes!
1:19
Thats not the stig. ITS THE STIG'S CHINESE COUSIN.
There will never be a show like this on terrestrial television again.
Stig is the best person to keep 3 feet distance. He can do kung fu so don’t get in his personal space.
The Stig is like an unheard force. It’s intentions are not known and probably will never be known. Do not get in the way of the Stig.
remember the stig driving that suv with a trailer before suvs with a trailer were a big thing (and insurance was cheaper).
I'm pretty sure that Stigs tend to dissolve when immersed in water...
3:04. Stig.exe has run into a problem.
Unceremoniously dumping the stig in the tip while he does his signature pose should not be that funny, but it is.
