Sorry, but most people really wouldn't appreciate that link. A fair bit of profanity in it too. Had to edit it out. Also, I fail to see what that has to do with the meaning of life. It's painfully puerile. All the best, Andrew.
I did like when Duncan gave his position, and Jeremy said, "I can't understand a word you are saying." Reminded me of some of the BBC America broadcast shows that had subtitles for British accents (Life on Mars).
Exactly the comment in our house........this needs subtitles. Rest of the show was tragic, and one funny joke doesn't make a TV show. Seinfeld it aint.
Been a while since an update. How are we liking the other episodes in the new series? All the best, Andrew.
I always had a theory on comedy, that Americans like the Brit stuff a lot, Brits like the American stuff. Sort of, you like the other guys' stuff. When I lived in the UK, I found myself watching more US comedy, and in the States more of the Brit comedy. So, what I am getting at is the pensioners people carrier was hilarious to me, because it was Brit humor, but even as an outsider, I have enough inside info to get the jokes. The "lovely" comments on the Sat Nav, talk of the war, stopping at a lay-by for a snack, going the wrong way on the slip road, shopping trolley on the back of the car. I had an 82-year old, a 75-year old, and a 70-year old as neighbors, and it was spot on (and they all drove in a Mondial estate). They were wonderful neighbors, but at times humorous in daily life to a Yank.
I agree. Variety is the spice of life. When in the US, British comedy is a little different and, when in the UK, the reverse is true. All the best, Andrew.
Best ever Top gear for me has to be Vietnam on the bikes Hopefully this weeks Africa special will be up to that standard.
That's one of those things I get - Dave TV Top Gear all afternoon, with the silly Dave TV commercials. I was watching an old TG, where Clarkson said, "Welcome to the Christmas special". Hammond said, "but it's July, mate." Clarkson, "but not if you are watching this on Dave in 2014."
+1 I think the "Specials" are cool as they're not as scripted - Just three guys having fun. [Except when they almost got shot in Louisiana! (?) ] The Middle East one where they go find the baby Stig was up there too IMO. Cheers, Ian
They were crossing Alabama at the time when they entered the "Hick Town". I was born and raised in Alabama (though a nicer part of it), so I was cringing from the moment they put those slogans on the sides of the car. I knew they really were asking for it and they just hadn't a clue - they still thought it was just silly nonsense at that point. I know some people think that scene was scripted but, knowing Alabama, I see that as a very plausible response to such things. All the best, Andrew.
I quite enjoyed the custom caravan challenge where clarkson puts an apartment's block on top of a Citroen and the reliant robin clarkson crashes no end. Epic.
They are lucky they weren't shot, but there's no Civil War in Alabama. I moved from Alabama to Pennsylvania for 2 years before coming to the UK. The people of Alabama are not still fighting the Civil War - Pennsylvanians just wrongly assume they are, and frequently promote this falsity without any first hand experience of Alabama. I lost count of how many times I was asked if I enjoyed wearing shoes now that I was living up in the civilized north... yet the city that I was born in (Huntsville, Alabama) put man on the moon. All the best, Andrew.
