Jeremy Clarkson takes us on a tour of a typical British 2-Star hotel room. Taken from the 2nd series of Jeremy's short lived chat show, simply called 'Clarkson'
Except for when he buttons it up, because suits were buttoned up really high in the 00s and we don't do that anymore. And double-breasted jackets are in again, for some reason, because obviously it's 1987.
Clarkson really knows how to put together a segment about even mundane things and make it interesting and full of surprises. There's something about his style that's just unique.
Perhaps most importantly, he's drawing from his own experiences and the experiences everyone "always" talks about. That means his content resonates with the audience far better than something that's crafted out of thin air.
@tom lewis No, you're not talking about "Orginal" Top Gear there at all. May and Hammond were not in "Orginal" Top Gear at all. You're talking about what was called "New" Top Gear. Original Top Gear came out in 1977 and we're currently on the (unofficial) third generation of Top Gear. and remember just because "almost everyone in Britian" thinks something (which they don't you're just too young to think otherwise) doesn't make them right.
Is your photo meant to look like an eyelash that people will try to brush away from the screen? Because it looks like it and it is very very annoying :'-D
@@lgamer9740 so basically he grabs his fireman hose but instead of putting his hands on it and sliding down, he goes up again and down and up and down.
George Wareham sorry, I should’ve thought before commenting; I’m just often a serious person, I’ve taken the comment down just in case it causes offence .
I always imagined that Clarkson was perpetually aged around 50, a constant force of nature, always middle aged. This is a really oddly revealing experience, and I’ll be having nightmares about it whilst realigning my entire worldview throughout the next few days
Unfortunately, after this episode, a team of upset 2 star hotel managers kidnapped Clarkson and held him in a laboratory where his DNA was morphed with the DNA of a Sumatran Great Ape. He escaped, but has been forced to live his life as Part-Man and Part-Orangutan.
His voice is the same, but his stomach isn't. Back in 1999 when this was made he lies down on the bed and his stomach is nearly flat. 2020 he lies down and looks like he is 8 months pregnant.
@@LordVictorHalgaard He complained to management so he knew exactly what he was doing. Unfortunately in a left wing organisation of the BBC his and all similar presenters who do not follow the communist party mantra were numbered. Then to the press or it leaked and the lefty press had a field day with him, digging up all his ancient history like it has any relevance outside of their agenda. They got exactly what they wanted, the BBC continued it's left wing agenda and killed Top Gear with "diversity", millions quit watching the BBC and Clarkson, Hammond and May all went off to earn megabucks from Amazon. Yet the British people still get threatened with jail if we don't pay the TV license fee. Screw the BBC and the socialist license fee that keeps their agendas alive and their organisation well payed despite failing the nation in every single way on giving unbiased views and entertainment they actually want to watch.
@@cattysplat He punched his boss in the face and got fired, despite his boss saying to HIS boss that firing him was too harsh of a punishment. It has nothing to do with politics. If I punched my line manager in the face and he reported me to the managing director, I'd be fired in seconds.
2:40 I love that even before Clarkson suggested doing _that_ the audience caught on to it. Also, that _polished bishop hotel_ bit took me longer than normal to understand 🙃
You do know that audience laughs are fake, right? Looking at this I can't just about think how dumb our shows used to be. Privileged man laughing out at the stuff that is designed to be affordable by average folks with fake audience laughs. All of this is such an exemplification of everything wrong with Thatcher period.
I'm 100% sure that it's not about what Clarkson was about so say, but rather because Clarkson doesn't fit in the bed lol. Notice how he have to half sit on the bed in order to fit
I used to think he's funny in my teens and early twenties. Now I think he's just a douchebag. Hammond and May have more integrity and can be funny without being jerks. Clarkson is all about making jokes as a man of privilege position about the stuff that is designed to be affordable by the average people.
The one scene where he's hammering in Uganda, Clarkson, after gently hammering parts of the engine: "What's more that's electric here?" May and Hammond: "Not the exhaust manifold!"
I guess seeing privileged man making fun out of stuff designed for the average folks with fake audience laugh in the background kind of not longer popular in times when we realized that there is just no way that everyone can be in upper class even if everyone work hard.
Funnily enough I've just been watching Fawlty Towers Bloopers on RU-vid! In one scene Sybil slams the door so hard in Basil's face that the wall moves and John Cleese improvises with his 'Basil checking the walls' routine!
what he said about those bathroom fans is so true. Starts when you turn on the lights but wont stop when turned off and runs on a timer until sometime around 3am. the lack of ac has at that point contributed to you being sweaty and not being able to sleep. unfortunately now that the fan just stopped you have to go to the toilet andthe procedure repeats ...
Those TV sets are a lot bigger than what they are portraying is in real life. It's like when you see these sitcoms that are supposedly based in a NY apartment. They apartment looks roomy even though the person is supposedly on a modest income. The only way anyone could afford an apartment that size in NY is if they were making a *lot* of money.
it's nostalgic watching this video and thinking about where Jeremy is now. After this, he went on to make TopGear one of the greatest TV shows ever made for 15 years and then he is rocking Amazon prime video with The Grand Tour
I write this from a room the very hotel he describes. Rodeway Inn in Alamosa, Colorado, USA. It had everything, ripped out shower head, room that smells like smoke (despite being "non-smoking"), A/C unit that makes a screaming noise every time it shuts off, un-helpful overworked staff, room with window overlooking the lobby, everything super shoddy. Jet engine in the bathroom exactly as specified here finished it off as being spot-on.
In a different life I think Clarkson would have been a brilliant stand-up comedian. Probably had his own family style sit-com by the time he was 40, been in lots of movies, etc Had his own chat show, etc. I know he cut his teeth as a "serious" automotive journalist, but I've never thought of him as anything like that, always thought of him as more of a comedian who is a true "petrol-head" as they say in the UK
Gawd, I remember going to a bnb, my room was a down stairs shower box with a SMALL single bed squeezed in. The fucking door was a sliding one. TBF, she done a cracking breakfast.
Had no idea JeremyClarkson ever looked so healthy. He concerns me for his health with his excessive weight. He’s such a gem ve great have him around for another couple decades plus
