Top Gear/Funny: Difference between revisions

Line 168:

** To clarify, he ''drives it through a mall'', and then ''during a beach assault''. [[Made of Win]], 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 ~~Its~~ 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_(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...

Line 225:

{{quote| '''Clarkson''': If you had a pistol, you'd have shot yourself by now?<br />

'''May''': Oh, years ago. }}

** '''Note''': Since it [[Gallows Humor|shamelessly jokes about animal cruelty]], it might be a case of [[Dude Not Funny]] for some.

* Two words : Car Sauna -- a game played by waiting for a hot, sunny day and getting into a car with the windows rolled up and the heater at maximum. The first person to exit the car loses. The lads played it, and Clarkson was the first to abandon ship when the internal temperature reached 62 degrees C (143 degrees F).

* Jezza and Captain Slow making car commercials. Period. If you're not laughing your ass off throughout that feature then there's something SERIOUSLY absent about your sense of humor!

Line 235:

== Series 14 ==

* In the fourth episode of Series 14, during the News segment: because of the New Year's-related delay between taping and broadcasting, the boys struggle to keep straight the discrepancy. Jeremy giddily talks about the Citroen DS3 and says it'll be one of the best cars "that will be coming out ''next year''", (which at the BBC 2 2009 airing means the US [[BBC America]] 2010 airing). He beams for a moment at his own magnificence and thumbs-ups the audience, thinking he's got the discrepancy nailed. When Hammond and May correct him ("''this'' year"), he drops the mother of all [[Atomic F Bomb|F bombs]]. Cue despondency.

* From that episode 8, we have the Gocycle, and May thinking it is pronounced Gock-ickle. Then he finds out he had to BUILD it instead of it being a fold-up.

** Also, James May saying "Isn't wasn't" cracked {{[[User|Zeether]] this troper}} up.

Line 368:

** Jeremy's closing monologue, which ends with most surprising things ever to come out Jeremy's mouth: "Vietnam: You don't know, man! You weren't there!"

* Hammond getting a buzz off coca leaves in Bolivia and chatting at double speed.

** From the same episode, the opening moments of their first drive through the jungle, complete with [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome|dramatic music and exciting action shots]], only for it to stop abruptly because Clarkson forgot his phone at the river bank. {{spoiler|Which was still within literal shouting distance.}} Who knew the Top Gear guys could make the act of drinking water epic?

** ''Even earlier'', Jeremy Clarkson sinking into the river.

{{quote| '''Clarkson''' [''narrating'']: As I sank into the ooze, my colleagues became increasingly concerned.<br />

Line 404:

{{quote| '''May''': [''to Gordon {{spoiler|after beating him at the recipe challenge}}''] Are you any good at driving?}}

* The entire Ground Force special. However the best moments have to be the repeated destruction of James' shed, Hammond getting stuck in the concrete, Hammond's jet powered barbecue (which set the shed on fire) and Jeremy's turbocharged water feature. Which exploded, firing off the top bit which predictably took out the green house which happened to be the one thing that actually worked.

* The Winter Olympics episode. Any given challenge (which can be said for the show as a whole), but the biathlon just starts things off. [[A Team Firing|Jeremy Clarkson. Enough said]].

{{quote| '''May''': The thing about Jeremy's shooting is that you are perfectly safe as long as you are standing right in front of the target.}}

** When he has to do the shooting a second time, he claims to know how to fold the seats away, as he has one at home. He winds up having to call his wife for help.
