S1-S13 : Normal Intros S13- S22: 𝙰 𝚏𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚜 𝚖𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍

Tonight on Bottom Gear, I drive a silent electric car, Richard uses a fookin toilet And James commits arson.

24:09 I WEAR A HAT RICHARD WEARS A HAT AND JAMES WEARS A HAT

Tonight James stays at home Richard stays at home And I stay at home

S1-S12 = sensible intros. S13-S22=LOL.

Jeremy slowly descends into madness*

It was pretty depressing to hear Hammond do the intro to the last episode.

Series 1 - Series 12 : Sensible intros. Series 13 - 22 : *I wear a hat*

The scary thing is that I remember all of these....

you know its a big episode when the intro is half an hour long

In the very first episode he says at the end of the series no one will have a recording contract. He proved to be very right 13 years and 21 seasons later.

I love how blunt these are. We save the entire world, James throws a chair over a hedge, And a F A T M A N G E T S M U R D E R E D

29:37 : I move my eyes Richard vandalizes a road And James says “cow”

If I had a nickel for every intro where it was just Jeremy talking about their hats, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I decided to throw ChatGPT at one of these intros and this is what it came up with: [Opening credits roll with energetic music playing] Clarkson (with his signature enthusiasm): "TONIGHT! I attempt to parallel park a double-decker bus!" [Cut to a scene of Clarkson nervously maneuvering a massive bus between two cars, narrowly avoiding disaster] Clarkson: "Richard competes in a lawn mower drag race!" [Cut to Hammond in a racing helmet, revving up a souped-up lawn mower on a grassy track] Clarkson: "And James attempts to set the world record for the slowest lap in a supercar!" [Cut to James May cautiously navigating a sleek supercar at a snail's pace on a racetrack, with tire squeals and engine roars in the background] [The Top Gear logo appears on the screen, and the crowd erupts with laughter and cheers as the episode begins.]

*Tonight on top gear I commit warcrimes in the middle east* *Richard Hammond crashes another expensive car and is in intensive care* *And James breaks into an old womans home*

tonight on... *G E A R*

30:51 TONIGHT I get fired Richard quits And James also quits

Not only did you have most every humorous intro ever, but you even listed which series and episode it is from. Two very massive hat tips to you sir!

3:15 the first appearance of James May. 6:08 the Indestructible Hilux. 11:16 Jezza in an Ariel Atom. 15:21 Radio Station.

at 21:00 ( s12e6 ) Jeremy lost his voice during the studio shoot and in the next episode you can hear Jeremy's voice is still recovering.

28:51 the best introduction for may ever

TONIGHT JAMES ASKS A GIRL FOR A FAVOUR ... "No..."

S1-S12: Something Decent S13-S22: *James Says ow ow ow ow*

I see three people slowly built a British television cultural masterpiece, and presented it gloriously to the whole world. We are ever more greatful to them

I randomly skipped and landed at 13:42 and just heard Clarkson say: I developed a sudden urge to marry my cousin

*Looking at the comments* "These intros can't be that insane right?" *Gets to mid-season 12 and there's still 10 minutes left* "Yeah I'm concerned now..."

Tonight on top gear: I move my eyes Richard vandalizes a road and James says cow "cow!" Lol

27:31 oh god..

26:44 you can nearly hear him laugh 😂

25:01 this is by far the best one

Watching over 30 minutes of intros like this makes you realize something profound: They wear a lot of hats. And some with things on them.

0:11 "And at the end of the series no-one will have a recording licence". He half guessed what would happened to him

24:10 Tonight I wear a hat Richard wears a hat And James wears a hat Now that's some good old quality content

I love how even the more factual ones of the early seasons are more than occasionally just described in the most absurd way possible. Or just in the most literal way possible.

Season One: How fast can the new Zonda go around our track? Season Eighteen: I breathe oxygen

Tonight! I point at a thing Richard walks through a shop And James has some bananas HILARIOUSEST INTRO EVER!!!

Tonight on Bo'om Gear: I drive an Electric Car™ Hammond using a *fokin'* toilet And James commits *arson*

Tonight: I breathe in, Richard closes his eyes and James presses a button. I don't think you can get any vaguer.

10:20 I met that blind man. He came to my primary school to do some talk about being blind. I think his name was Billy Baxter. He said he lost his sight while riding a motorbike while in the army (can't remember if it was during a military operation or something). And yes, when it came to the questions, he must've been asked "What can you see?" and "Do you just see black?" about five times.

25:20 Tonight Richards wears a blue hat James wears a different hat And I wear a hat with things on it

25:11 Tonight, our tracks are a bit foggy, a man eats a snack and we move about in a caravan. Welcome back to Bottom Gear m8s

James asks girl for a favor Girl: noooooooo

I like how in the later seasons they occasionally attempt to do a serious, factual intro and then decide to go back to insanity the next episode

27:00 is the best one hands down

"Welcome back to Bottom Gear, mates"

Man this is one action-packed Episode of Top Gear

23:18 was when they gave up lol

Tonight, James falls out of a boat I have a fight with a gear lever And.. HELLO! Oh dear this is a bit embarrassing

This show went from slightly odd to just insane

It's surreal seeing all these old cars being talked about as new cars and classics being seen as average second-handers

17:50 James May: "And now the news. And I'm afraid we start with an apology... we are unable to bring you Jeremy's road test of a Ferrari on the moon."

20:51 Probably my favourite line!

27:28 R a i k k o n e n

"Tonight, we save the entire world" *Shows a clip of a land rover towing a green house*

WELCOME BACK TO BOTTOM GEAR MATES...

I like how they went from giving actual info about the show to just absolutely meaning less things in the intro. That's what made it the best motoring show in the world, quite literally. It was more entertaining then informative yet it was still fundamentally a car show.

for me one of the most memorable is "a dog looks over a wall, we drive some chairs, and the stig does a skid in a supercharged jag."

S13 e6 22:24 is where it finally loses all sensible meaning and becomes completely abstract I wear some goggles Richard falls down a small slope And james says hello to a man

24:10 has to be the best one of them all

I love how these get progressively more insane as the series goes on

I like the part when Jeremey says “Tonight”

Episode 1: i put two supercars head to head, hammond tries to beat a speed camera Episode 3: GRANNY'S DOING DONUTS

13:41 Holy shit he's way ahead of the time with that joke

Mildly disappointed that you didn’t include the bottom gear intros.

22:42 when james and jeremy exit the toilet is it concerning that james is wiping his mouth

21:01 Well that didn't age well

I wana go to bed but the night will not end.

22:30 - my absolute favourite

Me: I can listen to music while I study, I’ll be fine! My brain: 30:11

earlier season intro: * relatively normal * later season intro: I commit tax fraud. Hammond blows up a hospital. And James has a heart-attack and fucking dies.

22:06 The slowest man in the world falls asleep. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Series 1-13:normal intros Series 14-22:i wear a hat

I've never seen this show, only the memes, but I think that the reasonably priced car is a key component in the ultimate plot

9:27 by God these were some good times to be a car enthusiast

19:26 They reversed the colors on the cars.

27:31 when you realise Chris Evans is replacing you

Seems like a very packed episode

Nobody: The trio: I wEAr a hAt

Tonight on top gear.... We race james' old cars Richard eats a sandwich and Howtobasic drives our reasonably priced car

That is one action-packed episode of Top Gear!

27:38 Tonight... I point at a thing Richard walks through a shop And James has some bananas. That was so hilarious!

28:58 aww that's cute... (swan do this when they're in love)

Top gear at start This is a 4 litre turbo charged Ford fc that will be driven by a celebrity Top gear at end I drink glue Edit it slowly descends into madness

You can start to hear when Clarkson's health start deteriorating.

18:35 They even made Richard crashing cars jokes back then

"Tonight! I wear a hat! James wears a hat! And Richard is behind a low wall."

"Tonight, I blow up Malaysia in a reasonably priced car!"

22:15 t´noight *we save the entire world*

I know it’s late but this must be a very long episode

I love the slow descent into madness as the episodes go by

Top Gear traditions: Tonight,.. And on that bombshell,... Reasonably priced car Pissing each other off *talking about hats in the intro*

23:07 That Gallardo is one of my favorite cars.

At around season 14, the intros start becoming a "Top Gear Moments without Context" compilation.

tonight I drink water James breathes oxygen and Richard looks at a tree

“Have you ever put toothpaste on your testicles?” BEST LINE EVER!

Crazy, we won’t see a show like this ever again. If you experienced it from the start then you were lucky! I watched from the beginning of season 2 all the way to the end of the classic trio

28:26 Dunno why that one makes me laugh so much
