*** In Series 14, Hammond <s>raced</s> "[drove] at the same time on the same track" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYgByWiTbw&#t=04m57s a Marina against Clarkson in a Lancia]. Given their poor history of Marinas and pianos, they gave him one which had already had a piano dropped on it. You'll never guess what happened when it conveniently "broke down", and Hammond got out for a minute to find a toolkit...
* As {{[[User|Kazokuhouou]] this troper}} put it to her dad: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e7R3y-qwZ0 Jeremy tests a Ford Fiesta old-school style...and then he just gets silly.]"
** To clarify, he ''drives it through a mall'', and then ''during a beach assault''. [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]], that.
*** "I am now breaking the speed limit, INDOORS!"
*** Even funnier with the Beach assault. Especially when the Royal Marines beach, to the soundtrack of the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|1812 Overture]], complete with explosions filled in where the original piece was [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|supposed to have cannons]]. It provides such gems as :
Line 195:
* Episode 1: the road test of the Porsche GT2.
{{quote| '''Clarkson''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!}}
* Also in the first episode, Clarkson made a [[Too Soon]] joke about truck drivers killing prostitutes (an allusion to [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wright_:Steve Wright (serial_killer)serial killer)|a serial killer recently in the news]]) and received [[Dude, Not Funny|quite a lot of complaints]]. So, naturally, in the news from the next episode:
{{quote| '''Clarkson:''' Now, the time has come, I fear. Lots of complaints after last week's program - Internet kind of awash with hate, people demanding an apology - and I am only too happy to give one. I am very sorry that I didn't put the [Porsche] GT2's time on the board ... [''laughter''] ... really, I don't know what to say.}}
* The Race to Blackpool, where the presenters have to drive all the way from Basel in Switzerland, whoever gets there first gets to turn on the Blackpool Illuminations but they have to ration their fuel to make sure they make it, and if none of them arrive then the Stig is on hand to do it in their place...

== Series 15 ==
* Season 15 with James' Mercedes that [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|put first gear and reverse on backwards]], making James back up when he wanted to go forward
{{quote| '''Jeremy''': ''(in a poor German Accent)'' "''Vorwarts!''"<br />
'''James''': ''(accidentally backing the car up)'' "''Scheisse!''" }}
Line 319:
** In the same episode, Clarkson and May go to China to look at Chinese cars and consider the claim that the Chinese are going to take over the car industry in a few years. At the end of the segment, it cuts back to the studio to reveal that [[Hostile Show Takeover|the presenters have been replaced by Chinese analogues.]]
*** Also, the [[All Asians Know Martial Arts|Attack Stig]].
* [[Shout -Out|FENTON! FENTON!]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GRSbr0EYYU JESUS CHRIST, FENTOOON!]

{{quote| '''May''': Are you sure it's not just a typical holiday romance? You'll get him home, and he'll be horrid!<br />
'''Clarkson''': Richard. He only wants a British passport.<br />
'''May''': Or an [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test:MOT test|MoT]].<br />
'''Hammond''': Listen, [[Companion Cube|it's]] ''[[Companion Cube|real!]]'' He [[Cargo Ship|loves me]], and he's coming home! That's a fact. [''audience goes 'awwwwww'''] This is happening.<br />
'''Clarkson''': I'm going to be sick. }}
Line 430:
'''Richard''': Yeah, you can get away with anything. "I'm terribly sorry, I ran over your dog..." "Oh!!" "...in my ''Jaaaag''." "Oh, well, never mind."<br />
'''James''': Is it fair to say, do you think, that no ''Jag'' owner is ever entirely trustworthy, but it's in a really nice, likeable way? }}
* The "Master of the Universe" segment from 2003. It was mainly villains (with the exception of the 6th Doctor), and it went alright... up until it was the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Dalek's]]''' turn to drive around the test track. Upon examining it and seeing only humanoids could operate it... well, EXTERMINATE. Only a couple had left the area and were spared.
* The only sentence James can say in German is "Naturally Heins is wet. He's standing under a waterfall."
* "My epiglottis is full of bees!" [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/epiglottis Now Wiktionary's use in a sentence for epiglottis.]
