Top Gear has become an instituion which is why people who don't like it watch it. I remember going for weekends away to GT years ago and leaving at 4pm to be back in time for TG because it was perfect Sunday evening TV. Now its just too painful to watch but being Sunday evening, usually with nothing to do its often on in the background. Jeez that makes me sound really dull.

Ricky Gervais should do an office-style parody of Top Gear; it would the only thing to make it more cringeworthy. Unfortunately its also how he is so it would be a show about twunts by a twunt. That could work.

If there was only one empty seat on a bus and it was next to the guy with the 'tache fom top gear last night.....I'd stand!

Like I said, it's a turn of phrase which means 'most'...are you really arguing about this? Can I no longer say most X Factor is crap or are you worried I might offend Simon Cowell?

No no no, this is no good at all. Frankie Boyle would be much better in this scenario, fizzy penis or no.

paedo-tache
what exactly does a paedo-tache look like? I was thinking of growing a comedy tache for Christmas (I was thinking Mexican style) to amuse my 7 year old nephew. I really need to stear clear of paedo-tache territory.

I think if you are growing a moustache to amuse a 7 year old boy then I would probably think again about what you just said...

Now that is more Boyle-esque material.

Like others have said. Where is the homophobic parts? i would lean away from a women if she said she had a fizzing feeling there as well as not wanting to sit in the seat in the same way they did. I though that it was all just crude willy type jokes and set up but funny never the less.

I'm not even sure if it was homophobic, pretty cringeworthy though like much of the show. The studio audience format with sycophantic crowd laughing at all the lame gags is really poor imo.

Shame though cos some bits, eg them ragging the cars around on that mountain road in Romania, are great to watch.

If you want to watch a program purely on cars, watch fifth gear.

I like Top Gear as its put humour into the program. I don't see why people complain, its a light hearted bit of fun that makes the program enjoyable to a lot of folk.

If you don't ike what they say then turn it off! No point coming on here to whinge about it. Should bwe all start moaning about every othr crap tv program!

It has occasional flashes of genius, but most of the time, it's just Sunday night filler, quite amusing, but not LOL funny.

I very much enjoyed the 50s race last series, Clarkson being beasted by the fireman in the train was very amusing. Clarkson vs May Air was also good.

The Romanian trip was squandered really IMO. More 'porn' of them driving in the tunnels, or up the ridiculous road, and less of the gypsy jokes.

Got to agree, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Gentle homophobic ribbing is common amongst all my friends, not one of us is homophobic, but that is what men tend to do when we get together.

I tell you what offended me, last night I was watching "It's only a theory" a supposedly high-brow show, and Andy Hamilton hinted at how everyone in Norfolk looks the same due to inbreeding. Being from Norfolk I found this outreageously offensive....Oh no wait, I found it funny, because I have a sense of humour.

I think we all agree then. Lovely.

Well, you seem to have mastered basic sarcasm, so clearly you do have a sense of humour, even if it does make you sound like David Brent

Basic sarcasm is a highly regarded skill in Norfolk donchakno.

I love Top Gear and must have watched the repeats on Dave a number of times. They have made some absolutely classic TV- cross channel cars, space shuttle Robin Reliant, created the stig, thrashed the best supercars around the track and had some great guests.

However

This series really is pants, and last night was very weak, not worth watching IMO.

scotabroad has hit the nail on the head. This series of top gear is very weak so far.

Its gone a bit rubbish recently, but its not BECAUSE they act immature or make offensive jokes or its scripted. They did all that in the good episode, the Peel P50 episode for example ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwKNL_YAZmk ) Its gone rubbish because they've run out ideas and gone a bit up there own @rse.

So its perfectly ok to refuse to sit in the seat hes just sat on and to run away,GIGGLING LIKE CHILDREN.

Must remember all that when i next go to the Peak District as theres quite a few clones of him there.

Giggling like children you say? Will this heresy never end? Oh for the death penalty for scum such as these, these infantile makers of TV dross!

So far ~~this threads~~ you've decided he's gay and has special needs. Hope he doesn't read this...

Hope he doesn't read this...

Why ....... is there something wrong with being gay and having special needs ?

As long as it's another consenting adult who he relies on to satisfy his 'special needs' ..........needless to say.

I'm sure its part of Clarkson's and Top Gear's agenda to wind up the self righteous sanctamonious PC tendency. Going by the posts on this thread they seem to have hit the target.

Top Gear frequently makes me cringe, but I wouldn't miss it for any other show.

Their electric car was ace, must get one so I can have green credentials...

...This thread is a prime example of why STW has gone down the pan of late. Predicatable, tiresome and run out of ideas.

Im not sure it was about that bloke being gay; more about the fact that he looked like he'd never washed and was wearing clothes that he'd found at a pikey flytip.

I wouldn't have sat next to him let alone where he'd sat! Especially after he admitted an AX sent him all buzzy!!!!

Thought it was a great show, if a little overscripted.

And what's clever or amusing about that? If you write an article, or a post, that says "niggers stink", or whatever, people will get upset. That's not about being self righteous, it's about being a decent human being. If people stopped reacting, that would be cause for concern.

I rarely watch top gear, but you'd be amazed how many of the young kids at school love it. Says it all really.
