It's not funny but why?

there was the jag episode.
honestly the last two or three episodes have been pretty good.

No.

samefag.

Is Clarkson going through life issues? He seems to be very unhappy with fake enthusiasm in this.

He got divorced from his 2nd wife in 2014. She's stinking rich and the reason he lived in the Cotswolds and drove expensive cars before TG became a global hit. I mean he still does well for himself, but he's not really part of the Chipping Norton set anymore.
He was dating one of his co-hosts from Old Old Top Gear for a while, dunno what happened with that.

>He was dating one of his co-hosts from Old Old Top Gear for a while, dunno what happened with that.

what a semen demon

is that why he got a gti

I'd imagine that's just his DD.
Sort of like how James May had an F430 but DD'd a Fiat Panda.

Because they aren't having genuine fun anymore. How many $500k cars can you review without seeing it as just a job?

Perhaps they should each be forced to drive only that car for a month and then we can get a bloopers reel and clips of when they loose it and start ranting about all the most annoying little things they can't stand any longer.

Make it "The most annoying car for $500k+ challenge" season.

Clarkson genuinely seems to be the one holding the show back. He plays the "grouchy, incompetent oaf" card way too much and he seems to have lost that sly wit he had on prime Top Gear.
Hammond and May seem like they're getting back into the swing a bit, but Clarkson's just going through the motions.

Your sense of humour is defective. The banter had me in stitches.

the problem is you can't thrash a $500k car.
james may made a very valid point when he reviewed the VW up!. because its a cheap, light car with a decent amount of power, you can thrash the engine out and push the car to its limits.
and what makes driving a car fun is pushing it to its limits.

>Clarkson's just going through the motions
Because he's fucked. He's spent his entire life living as unhealthily as possible and now it is coming back to get him. He's only 57 but looks and moves like a 70 year old.

i have really enjoyed the second season so far

i thought the 1983 wrc/lancia piece on todays episode was great

Solid car porn and interesting narrating. Probably one of their best segment this season.

Rest of the episode wasn't bad either. It was fun enough watching May and Hammond do dumb shit with cars.

I'd be surprised if Clarkson knows where he is most of the time.
Also after watching last week's episode, Bill Bailey is looking poorly these days as well.

Watching Hammond and May do dumb shit was one of the most underated parts of Top Gear.
I would watch a whole series of just Hammond and May doing dumb shit like Caravan Conkers and Aygo football.

>gets assblasted when he realises tv shows have scripts
>tv show makes fun of (you)
>gets even angrier

i fucking love jeremy clarkson for this, i used to just like him.

gosh, just when i think i've got all of you little morons on the filter list another one pops up!

>And skip the celebrity part

no kidding that part of the show is just totally shit.

That one where they launched cars off the car launcher trying to hit the caravan was 1000% brilliant. That's the kind of fun you just can't see outside of a budgeted TV show with a sense of humor.

same
idk what people are hating

It was brilliant.

Wish they'd call out elcelebs and automotive bloggers next

I really liked the jag episode

I think instead of doing celebrity interviews, they just have a regular segment where they put Jimmy Carr in a variety of cars and see how many laps it takes him to break them.
It would be funny and as a bonus they might accidentally kill Jimmy Carr.

The latest episode (7 I believe) is the best so far in season 2 since they surprisingly added a nice documentary at the end. Overall it's mediocre

The best episodes of GT are about equal to a middling episode of Top Gear.

Roadkill isn't scripted and it's pretty good. I think part of what makes it fun is they have like an $8000 budget for their vehicles each episode. You have to be more creative when you're working within a constraint.

The reason TGT is painful to watch isn't so much because every line is scripted but they aren't very good actors and I'm constantly aware of how fake and scripted everything is.

But whatever watch your shitty show if it makes you happy.

I've been going back and watching early Top Gear episodes and the writing is definitely a lot snappier when the budget was lower. They were also a lot more bawdy on BBC even though they couldn't swear. Lots of innuendo, puns and double entendres.

Honestly I feel like this Lancia thing has been the first time he's been genuinely out and out happy on GT. Maybe bit of the Jag show too.

The Lancia segment was better than the first and previous 2nd season eps together.

It was shit even before. The last seasons of top gear were pretty much the same. Looool guuuuysss let's do anything that is wanky shit but god forbid we talk about cars. Lol so randum lel. They went full retards with the "funny" segments basically which, while they were refreshing and genuinely funny initially, as time passed became the main focus of the program

Ya they need to have more like it

Yeah that lasf few seasons of TG were pretty bad. The specials were always pretty awesome though. Vietnam, Africa, North Pole... Some of the best shit I've ever seen on tv.

it kinda seems like they're still trying to find their groove.
after 13 years of top gear, it will take another season or so to come into their own again.

top gear has always been stupid shit and jeremy clarkson is an incompetent british scoundrel

I love their shit man you could have them on foot from Russia to Spain and I'd watch I 45 minute episode of them talking shit to each other about nothing

samefag

As a og top gear fan from mid 2000s your talking out of your ass.

Ep7 is a banga the goat wrestler guests cool idea with mobile fueling and cracking doco at the end was awesome.

Even conversation st was good

Its good but some parts feel forced
I feel like its the editing and not the trio bringing it down

agreed. they actually listened to the complaints about the celebrity crap and "the american" then fixed it. S1 was meh, S2 is pretty much top gear.

When will Top gear dog come join grand tour?

died a year ago

rip doggo

>it's true

fug

I skip it, its boring but I also always skipped the celebrity car shit in OG top gear unless i thought the guest was intresting or someone I wanted to know about.

they are entertaining yes funny no.

why THE FUCK does a car review show have to be funny? And lets be fucking honest. Top Gear was rarely funny.

Its mostly cringey and stupid. Much better without jokes and having occasional wit isntead.

youtube.com/watch?v=EQWPumtDXk0

pure fucking cringe.

Jesus Christ user it's made for the 16 fucking years ago just relax.

The lancia group b doco was great and not for brainlet children.

Tguk under Clarkson has always been childish that's his mo typical Brit boys will be boys banter if you don't like it stop watching.

The grand tour season 2 is easily better than the last 2015 season of clarksongear and tgts1

Rapegang in the background?

This and the fact that with top gear, they were given a small budget. Therefore they had to be creative to keep you interested. Now with GT, they have a way larger budget so they try and force what they THINK we like.

Try and disagree with me you plebs.

>small budget on top gear
>bigger on grand tour

wrong lol

>aren't having genuine fun
Did you not see Hammond's face as he was driving that Lamborghini?

Top Gear was too scripted, this is too.
They're shitty actors so what's improvised and by the script is really jarringly obvious.

Honestly this last episode with Clarkson's narration of the Audi Lancia rivalry was really nostalgic for me. Watching him reminisce in something he truly cares about was one of the best parts of old Top Gear.

If you tell the same joke 200 times it stops being funny

(You)

The show is fine. Last episode was great. Jaguar episode was even better.

it was really fantastic, you can tell that clarkson actually gives a shit about group b rally unlike everything fucking else that he's talked about on the grand tour

too scripted

The Lancia part and Goldberg appearing were the best part of the last episode

Is that fucking Rea Sremmurd?

>It's not funny
It is, though
>but why?
You have no sense of humour. That's why.

The rascal van made the episode 10/10

The rally part made it 11/10

Agreed. The restrictions made them have to be more creative. I just wish it didn't feel as scripted.

They did one in shitbox maseratis

>James makes a firetruck and pulls a scoreboard out of nowhere during the unscripted episode

Suddenly I really miss those old Top Gear challenges where they converted shitboxes into random bullshit and competed them in ridiculous events.

Also did anyone else feel kind of sad for James during that episode? He kind of came across as a confused old man who doesn't really know what's going on around him anymore.

It makes me uncomfortable when they are in the room and everyone is around them, listening to every word they say and laughing every pun. And their skits always seem like "Oh wow we are madmen haha we are actually doing this omg LOL clarkson just did that thing I wasnt even expecting that wow lol!". British genocide when?

I met clarkson one, he did a super big and stiky fart on my face disfiguring me

I wish they just did this. The old "buy x for under 1500 pounds and complete a series of challenges, what you have left over you can use later to convert your shitbox into something else".

>>Dat docking sequence
GT confirm /m/.

I've never even understood why people liked Top Gear. As my dad described it, no one who likes cars enjoys seeing three british cunts destroy cars for thei personal enjoyment.

>Quoting his dad
Omfg, soyboy man children are taking over.

There's no denying that they're actors for the most part and it's scripted front to end. But I still like it quite a lot

>57

Holy shit I legit thought he was in his late 60's, that's fucked! My dad is the same age and looks way better, probably why I'm so shocked..

>Omfg, soyboy man children are taking over.
Go ahead post your face. Betting 80$ you're an embarrassment to the eye.

Why is everyone so up their own arses with the grand tour?
its no different to topgear, i swear you fucks are just getting more autistic if anything.
i mean they actually did a segment on the ripsaw... everyone has only been waiting for that since newgrounds was a thing...
youtube.com/watch?v=p_iup2jXQqI

You will be down 80 of that jewish currency. But no, I'm not posting my face on Veeky Forums just because you want me to look like those cherry picked exceptions you posted.

Yeah right. You're a fucking faggot, and you being a white trash who hates his parents doesn't mean we all have to be. So yeah Top Gear was retarded and there's nothing worthwhile in watching birtbong cunts get paid destroying cars and making sex jokes.

Can't believe how triggered you are about this hehe. I love my parents, but you don't quote your daddy here. Just don't fucking do it.

>Pic related, you

>but you don't quote your daddy here. Just don't fucking do it.
Fuck off. Either defend Top Gear/ Gran Tour or shut up, but don't shit up the thread because you're a faggot.

It'd be cool if they had a studio segment like the Cool Wall or Classic/Crock again. Something where they can have a bit of a lively debate.

>but you don't quote your daddy here. Just don't fucking do it.

Maximum edgelord.

>Bill Bailey is looking poorly these days as well.
>these days
Bill Bailey has looked like shit for close to two decades now.

Kid, please stop crying and samefagging over this. And don't even bother 2ith a screenshot because one of the (you)'s can be cut within 10 seconds in MS Paint.

You got slammed. Just apply burn cream to your anus and move on. Or just run downstairs and have your daddy do it

>Being so full of shit you already know you're wrong

Top fucking kek

Nice try but no, I'm not buying it and neither are you. Now go and get the cream applied

>not buying it

I'm not selling anything, just pointing out how much of an underage faggot you are champ.

Why the fuck would I samefag ? You're being an embarrassing faggot who sperged out about "muh soyboys" because I quoted my father's simple yet true observation about Top Gear.
Also, stop derailing this shit thread, you've been a faggot, we don't care. Let's keep talking about the three british cunts.

I bet you're pretty pleased with these as a last resort recovery? Nah, people don't see these posts as you do. But I'm bored with you now so carry on

I mean poorly by Bill Bailey standards.
