British Husband Shows American Wife | Top Gear Most Offensive Clips **REACTION** 

Just the fact that she makes a problem out of everything that doesn't effect her makes her the most American...

Top Gear took the piss out of British people more than any other group. It's well-known to anyone who has watched more than one season.

As a German i can assure you that the German jokes are very funny

Bit of context for the Mexican one. The Ambassador Jeremy did an impression of actually invited them to the Mexican embassy where they proceeded to get drunk on tequila and the ambassador explained how he found it hilarious.

Tell your wife not to get offended, Clarkson takes the piss out of everyone. Its his hallmark. Plus in the UK if people take the piss out of you, weirdly, its because they really like you!

To be fair Clarkson and the boys HAVE taken the piss out of themselves / the UK plenty of times. And Richard Hammond loves all things American so it's all in good humour. They are the reason I travelled north to south Vietnam, their Vietnam special is legendary

About the stereotypes u didn’t understand. Stereotypes are different in britain. We don’t have Mexican immigrants, the stereotypes they’re referring to are Mexicans living in Mexico are stereotypically lazy, not the Mexican immigrants in the US. Also a random stranger asking u how are you and talking to you is rude in the U.K. and unwanted. In the US that’s friendly, that’s why we have that stereotype

I think this gave you slightly the wrong impression, these really are just jokes. But I got the impression you might just think they’re anti anyone not British when actually in their shows they’re incredibly well travelled and are very complimentary and appreciative of other countries. Some of their specials travelling through Africa showed a beautiful side of the people and landscape in Botswana. Another fascinating watch is their Christmas special where they spent time in Syria (before the war) and really demonstrates the wonderful country Syria was before the war.

We British like to laugh at other nations but we also love to laugh at ourselves to be able to laugh at oneself is the height of love and affection

The N word clip pisses me off for two reasons 1. That rhyme was very common when I was a child before I even understood what the ward meant and Clarkson is much older than me so this was clearly a slip of the tounge. 2. This clip was never publicly aired because they realised his mistake and edited it out of the show but some rat on the production staff leaked it to make a quick buck and embarrassed him.

I'll always remember when they all had a challenge to make an ad for a BMW. Jeremy's was a bunch of people screaming and running away as though Godzilla was attacking. Then it fades to the car and Jeremy's voice saying, "from Germany to Poland in 1 tank." Because the mileage on the car was good. He pitched the ad to BMW execs and they did not look happy. 🤣

They get the Mexican Stereotype from Mexico itself, I have been there several times and its exactly like that. The hard working , industrious Mexicans have left and work in USA, Canada and a lot in Europe too, They are very hard working , hence why they left their home country to make a life fro themselves. They thing is , the British are unique in the ability of taking the piss out of themselves so sometimes they dont understand why other cultures and people cant do the same

Jeremy got fired because he punched someone and then the rest quit and joined him. Wasn't because they were too offensive

Everyone who doesnt understand that these are jokes i feel sorry for. The trio are definitely high up in my hero list, or kore precisely clarkson is a hero in my book. His new show is such a wonderful thing can only recommend Clarkson farm.

This is called "Taking the Piss"! It's what we do in Blighty!😂😂

you should have explained the australian one in the prison van to your wife, australia was a penal conoly, we sent law breakers there

Top gear does have a go at the British, it’s a British thing. We can laugh at ourselves that’s the humour

As a Mexican i dont find it offensive it was funny for the time but i couldn't stop laughing

The way I understood Top Gear was it was 3 blokes who were having a good time and occasionally said something about cars. That's the normal episodes. Then there are the specials which are stupendously funny and entertaining. Side note, refreshments while watching the specials is a must.

The "lazy Mexican" stereotype was likely borne due to the fact that Mexicans (historically at least) were used to taking mid-day naps (called siestas), but when having to work with Americans (who never had that habit), they (the Americans) would notice Mexicans getting sleepy or taking naps in the middle of the day and assumed that they were lazy.

"I would love to hear them say something about their own culture!" They actually were commenting on the latest Bently, a car made in England for English people. The joke that was being made was the fact that the car was designed by a german, made with german parts, and is way overpowered compared to normal English Cars, a very German trait :)

Hi, I am British and I get why you reacted the way you did, but they do take the piss out of everything and everybody including each other. You need to see a whole episode to really get them. Great reaction.

Great reaction and top gear always makes fun of the British just as much as everyone else they diss it out but always take the piss out of the uk just as much

Yeah top gear made fun of the British just as much as anyone else to be fair

I’m British and the only Mexican stereotype i am aware of is the sleepy thing and its solely from US TV (South Park, family guy, the office…)

I honestly feel this couple barely understood any of the references.

4:36 Jeremy called the French cheese eating surrender monkeys.

You're looking at the Mexican thing out of context, Mexico attack top gear over an article or something and this was their get back.

As a dutch person I'm actually sad he didnt include us as much. It's an honour being roasted by Clarkson.

The "Slope" one was surprising because very few people knew it was a slur, especially in my generation, until that episode came out, now everyone does.

"They did get fired" - Incorrect, Jeremy was the only one who got fired, Hammond and May both left the BBC willingly because they knew the show would never work without Clarksson!

this is 90% about cars, 10% banter carried the show

For a great bit of them taking the piss out of themselves, their special where they review British Leyland cars is hilarious.

Clarkson wasn't fired, his contract wasn't renewed, Hammond and may didn't renew their contracts, all three went to Amazon and did The Grand Tour which had a bigger budget.

Lazy Mexican stereotype in my opinion comes from all the westerns we used to get on TV back in the 60's and 70's. I remember watching lots of them and there were always a few Mexicans lying around dozing in the sunshine, setting the scene

That is not the worst, and not the best either, in my mind. You should let her see the part with the boys driving thru Texas (I think). That is not PC at all, and cringy af 🤣

Love how she accepts everyone is fat and stupid but she's like "Don't you dare call us rude!" 😂 okay just don't invade me please 😅

A lot of it too needs to be watched in the context of the show itself to be honest. I mean, these were "most offensive" clips, not "funniest" necessarily. The funniest bits were the 3 of them winding each other up an their banter and there 'offensive bits' simply added another layer to that.

I can excuse fat and stupid but rude is where I draw a line😂

This was so entertaining. You are wonderful as a team. Any offence in Top Gear was deliberately constructed to demonstrate a kind of old-fashioned pretence of ignorance and prejudice. It was there to criticise people who actually do have these racial and national prejudices. And that is why it was funny. It made us laugh at our own sad history of narrow-mindedness and exploitation, and deflect that regret to a sympathy for all people. These presenters are not truly prejudiced. The target for criticism is viewers who remain stuck in the past, dreaming of another empire. Most obviously, us British. If you can see through that humour, you can understand us British when we scorn and mock ourselves.

Ahhh you’ve broken her into top gear have ya? Good man 🤣

Says she doesnt get offended, "hang on, i need to stand up fpr the mexicans"

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe was uttered by kids everywhere several times a day back in the 60's. We used it for choosing the odd one out before starting many of our games like tag. It never occured to me that it referred to a human with feelings, it just seemed like a convenient word to use Perhaps the lack of any ethnic minorities where I lived contributed to it - probably about 99% white British back then, and still around 90% + now. There wasn't anybody to be offended by lots of words that we used.

If you listen to the bit where he's supposed to say the N word he doesn't actually say it, he just mumbles over it. Unfortunately the British press just jumped on it. The Mexican stereotype comes from the image of a guy sitting asleep with his back against a wall wearing a poncho and a sombrero during a siesta. They reviewed some of the old British Leyland cars which was hysterical because I remember what a load of shite they were. Even if you're not into cars as such, apart from the banter and constantly sabotaging each others cars, some of the cars like the Lamborghini's, Ferraris, Bugatti veyron etc do make you go WOW. Star in a reasonably priced car was one of my favourite parts of the show.

he never said the N word. Basically the things they learned made them think that.

Fen, we all need to know how you ended up in America and how you and Akasha met. And Akasha, don't worry, they take the piss out of Brits ALLLLLLLL the time. Especially the Scots, Irish, and Welsh. It's just the British way; we take the piss out of ourselves more than others.

I love how they said " fat, dumb and rude " and her reaction was " We aren't rude ". I have never been to the US yet but I have only heard that they are extremely friendly and helpful people so i do agree.

the best trio in the history of television

10:00 I believe the americans being rude part was more of joke for him being so very ”polite” in saying that line😂😂

The Aussies arriving in the police van episode had a fun race where the cars were two connected, one on top of the other, one steering and the other doing power and brakes, for the Aussie episode they put the top car upside down, the drivers were a bit ill

'Allo Allo' is the goto comedy series to see every nationality having the pee taken out of them. An absolute classic.

Some context for the Lorry Driver "murder a prostitute" part: This is very likely a reference to a serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper (real name: Peter Sutcliffe) who was a lorry driver and also murdered a number of prostitutes in the 1970s. I believe there may also have been other lorry driver/prostitute murderers also but dont know their names.

these 3 are pure legends

11.17 'should't it all be equal...' yes Clarkson took the piss out of everyone - he literally states that the reason the Dutch love Top Gear so much is because they take a lot of drugs (as Calrkson puts it)

The Murican getting offended xD

I laughed mostly because I know we are all dead anyway. That is what makes it even more hilarious.

The Mexican stereotype is really old so most young people probably don't get it unless they're into old western movies and or old comics, that's where it's from.

Not sure this is the best take on an absolute classic of a show and presenters. Take the piss out of everyone going including themselves. And also slightly different times when these jokes were allowed. Their true specials in different countries shows how much they love other culture

You're not the only one with a "weird mix". I'm British-Swedish lol 🇬🇧🇸🇪

Correction they were never fired. Jeremy did not have his contract renewed. The other two went with him to make a very successful series for cable tv.

Greetings from Switzerland, love your content!

"Cheese eating surrender monkeys" refers to the French. He was speaking in a heavy American accent when he said it, because a lot of Americans think poorly of the French.."Surplus French army rifles, only dropped once." :)

You're still laughing!.... They take the piss out of everyone equally!.....🤣 Nuff said.

you have to remember this is like 10-15 years back

What she is saying is perfectly true, if you cant say the n word then you cant take the piss out of peoples nations, they are exactly the same, you cant help what race you are and you cant help what country you was born in. Personnaly I'm a man of commedy and free speech and banning the use of any word is fascism.

For the Mexican stereotype, look no further than the Speedy Gonzales cartoons.

Under the thumb 😂😂😂

@5:55 that German joke as legendary. He didn't do a "heil Hitler" ... that's a different salute. Bloody brilliant to come up with that.

A bit of context, Jeremy said americans are rude cause he was attacked by americans. Hammond was quite racist to the mexicans, but he then apologized by making a review on the mexican sports car they were talking about. And yes they do shit on the brits a lot too, Birmingham, Wales, Scotland, and a few other places and they shit on their government too

The N-word incident was off the record (not to excuse it by any measure) and was released to the media by a disgruntled ex-employee of the production company

Im german and i loved the Show and the jokes about germany

And here’s an hilarious clip from that other awesome car show 👇🏻 Vicki Butler Henderson on 5th Gear:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qP0QxdVI5tI.html 🇬🇧🤣👍🏼

> Americans aren't rude. New Yorkers are. But so are Londoners - the anonymity of a big city.

No matter how many times i watch these old clips i cant get over the fact that Jeremy and James looks basically exactly the same as they do today but older but Richard looks like a completely different person

You now have to do Stewart Lee's Richard Hammond stand up bit. He's not wrong!

If she thinks these jokes are bad get her to watch Roy Chubby Brown 🤣

i think you guys should watch the vietnam special, it really shows how much the Top gear crew loves other countries

Dude you need to show the entire of the Surrender Monkey clip

Americans: Take that back! We are NOT RUDE! Rest of the world: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means..

I’m a black guy and growing up that rhyme always went “Iny Meany, Miny, Moe, catch a flea by his toe. I only knew about the N word reference after someone (white) complained to the BBC.

There was never any amount of hate towards any of the "offended" countries. We can laugh at ourselves and our neighbours, just as long as it doesn't go too personal. Stereotypes are funny for a reason. I just wish I could get the old Top Gear back. The one where they tested cars I can't afford, but which I can enjoy by seeing and hearing them.

The idea behind Mexicans is a stereo type from old American movies, a bit like the American idea on teeth or speech with the British Eeny, meeny, miny, moe is a rhyme from before the 1800s

You've clearly not explained top gear to your Mrs it got so many complaints over the years but the viewers loved it especially with Clarkson/ Hammond and May presenting it I mean I have no interest in cars I can't even drive but loved top gear

When you watch carefully, James Blunt - a musician and former British Army officer in the Household Cavalry - is very quick with the self-deprecating wit and savage comeback to Clarkson's insinuating that motorcycles meant being homosexuality, saying he wrote most of his songs about him, his most memorable being "You're Beautiful".

RE-WIND BUTTON GUYS!!!!!!!! I like you guys and long ago Subscribed but(apart from me, until recently😀) you seem the only people on RU-vid who do not realize there is a rewind button and you never laughed once immediately after you paused and re-started the clip for a good reason. lol and the reason was the continuation bore no relation to the bit that you paused or you separated the Tag Line from the Punchline. lol So,for example after the "Gay Cowboy/Terrorist" you never heard James's comeback and twice seemed to miss Mexican references. I noticed you did what I used to and physically moved the mouse back rather than press the button:) Good Luck...

My memory is not perfectly sure about it, but I think the "mean americans" thing was born from one of their trips to the US. At the end they gifted their cars (to try and help people manage the loses from hurricane Katrina) and one member got sued for gifting a broken car. One other time they were threatened by angry texans with guns, that got mad because one of the top gear cars had "Gay love rules" written on it as a joke. And that are just the top of my head, basically everytime they went to USA they angried somebody, so I see why they would see americans as "mean".

The whole point is that "Top Gear" was not a car show. It was a show about 3 guys arseing about in cars.

"Frenchie cheese eating surrender monkeys" "Who are they talking about? " Seriously? Take a guess.

I don't think you really remembering that these clips were like 20 years of Top Gear. That's literally one per season, if that. This clip just makes it look like a nationalist programme.

man went from a uk green card to a usa green card sheesh

Jeremy clarkson got accused of homophobia and then stated “how can I be homophobic if I watch lesbian p0rn”

Noticed the Spain top you're wearing 😀👌

The most offensive bit is that an Englishman felt entitled to shit on another country's food.

You guys sould definitely react to the top gear specials or the grand tour

the story of top gear

The British invented the idea of "the funny foreigner"

Actually theyre arguably the best comedy trio in decades

This Trio right here were the Glory Days of Top Gear UK

As portuguese, I'm sad they never talked about us. =(

It makes me proud to be English. 🤣🤣🤣
