Line 1:

Ah yes, ''[[Top Gear]]''...everyone's favorite BBC car-based sitcom, which has many funny moments, only few of which are guaranteed to anger sensitive viewers and people with too much time on their hands to complain. Enjoy!
Line 69 ⟶ 67:
* May races a pair of free runners through Liverpool. He thinks he's won, is giving his victory speech and then he looks up at the clock tower... {{spoiler|to see the free-runners have climbed almost to the very top of it.}}
{{quote|'''May''': Oh for Pete's sake!}}
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20100523180106/http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/camp-fire?VideoBrowserMode=categories&VideoCategory=OtherStuff caravan holiday], even before Clarkson set their caravan on fire.
{{quote|'''Clarkson''': It's not a pan fire anymore, it's a ''van'' fire.}}
** That [[Ho Yay|one segment]] after the train was heard in the distance made this troper almost cry laughing.
Line 174 ⟶ 172:
* [[Blatant Lies|The entirely]] ''[[Blatant Lies|factual]]'' [[Blatant Lies|and not in the least bit]] ''[[Blatant Lies|entertaining]]'' American super-cars segment.
** James May being so disgusted with his muscle car (it grows on him later) that he tries to win a motorbike in a Reno casino to ride instead...while American bystanders ask him if he's from Australia. (It's something of a memetic [[Running Gag]] among Britons that Americans will always assume any British accent other than an old-fashioned BBC English one is Australian instead).
** Partway into the episode, "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers comes onto the radio..better known to fans of the show as [[
{{quote|'''James''': *points at radio, looks at camera* I wasn't expecting that!
'''Jeremy''': On tonight's program...*laughs* }}
Line 269 ⟶ 267:
** Especially Clarkson crashing a meeting of a Reliant Robin owner's club. Emphasis on 'crashing'.
*** Made better in the next episode, when a Reliant Robin enthusiast sends a letter claiming Clarkson's many crashes and flips are due to his being a terrible driver. The boys accept his challenge and attempt a lap around the studio track in a different Robin only to flip it on the first turn. Who was driving this time? The Stig.
* The Caravan challenge and Jeremy proving [https://web.archive.org/web/20130512083903/http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/series-15-episode-4-motorhomes-challenge-part-1?VideoBrowserMode=categories&VideoCategory=Challenges why you shouldn't put a three story building on your car.]
* Episode 4: When Jeremy Clarkson mocks James May for not even passing a bus.
{{quote|'''May:''' That's because, Jeremy, the bus said "Guilford" on the front and that's where I wanted to go.}}
Line 283 ⟶ 281:

* Despite it eventually going well for once, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120501084745/http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/the-boys-a-snow-plough-with-a-combine-harvester-part-3-series-16-episode-5 most of the combine snowplow challenge ended with breaking things and/or setting them on fire.]
** Just so you know. Somebody let Jeremy put a flamethrower on back. [[Too Dumb to Live|Then let him use it.]]
*** And he ended up burning a sign, setting a car's hood on fire, and setting a ''man'' on fire.<ref>granted, the guy was obviously a stuntman, but it was still funny</ref>
Line 339 ⟶ 337:
{{quote|'''May''': Are you sure it's not just a typical holiday romance? You'll get him home, and he'll be horrid!
'''Clarkson''': Richard. He only wants a British passport.
'''May''': Or an [[wikipedia:MOT test|MoT]].
'''Hammond''': Listen, [[Companion Cube|it's
'''Clarkson''': I'm going to be sick. }}

** After Hammond sinks Oliver, he's told it's probably never going to run again. Next morning, Hammond shows up in Oliver, running better than ever. Clarkson and May are at a complete loss for words.
{{quote|'''Clarkson:''' Is that even technically possible?!
Line 352 ⟶ 350:
*** However, the DVD edition uses "The Star-Spangled Banner" instead, so that makes it a little confusing.
** Or more specifically, every single second that Jeremy Clarkson was on a motorbike.
{{quote|'''Jeremy:''' '''''{{
** The [[Running Gag]] of the presenters cheering each other up with "We've bought you ''a present!''" - which inevitably turned out to be something huge, bulky and hard to get on the back of a motorbike.
*** Although after the sheer amount of bonding and hardship they go through, they all seem to get quite depressed when their presents are subsequently ruined, and if that's really a spoiler you haven't been watching this show very long (especially James May) and so there's a quite nice scene where they try and stitch everything back together while on a train. And no, it doesn't really make sense in context either.

** The best part is that everybody's mind goes there at approximately the same time as Jeremy's and the audience cracks up ''again''.
Line 434 ⟶ 432:
* "My epiglottis is full of bees!" [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/epiglottis Now Wiktionary's use in a sentence for epiglottis.]
