Thats why the Brit version of TOP GEAR is so damn superior to the US version (which, as far as Id seen, was mostly concerned with pickup trucks). The Brit Top Gear seems to be focused on an adult audience and features three guys who are filled with the spirit of celebration of calumny and other of the Deadly SIns. The US version is geared to 14 year olds. MOST of the matter of all US tv entertainment is that it broadcasts mostly to a demographic that is using pimple creams.
Top Gear ground to a crushing halt when Clarkson punched a junior producer in the face. Chris Evans will be heading up the next one, but he's something of an acquired taste.
You have got some brilliant comedy. This is really good.
OH ****. I heard about the dust-up with Jeremy. So they fired him.
He was often the "provacateur" who would dream up these "Three guys go into a bar and agree to have a track race with caravans"
Some of those things were brilliant!
I shall miss Mr Clarkson.
Keep producing those great comedies.
For every Seinfeld or Big Bang that we do, you guys come up with 20 adult focused bits of insanity.
Yeh but Galafanakus is a talent and Ted Dansen is a new character in this seasons FARGO (Which is more a dark comedy this year-unless, of course I need some heavy psychoanalyses)
I'm taping the current season, I'm going to start watching it when I've got them all. I thought both the film, and the first season with Billy Bob Thornton were excellent.
Billy Bob Thornton is brilliant. I don't think I've seen him in anything I've not enjoyed, Bad Santa was really good.
Ted Danson has really impressed of late. I thought he was OK in Cheers, but nothing special. However, in both Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bored To Death he has given stand out performances.

@farmerman,
Clarkson didn't come off that well with Richard Osman.

This Is What a Misogynist Pig Sounds Like: 6 of Donald Trump’s Most Sexist Moments
Amid a career of insults and bombast, Trump's leveled plenty of vile, sexist jabs.

NEW YORK CITY - AUGUST 17 2015: Republican presidential nomination front runner Donald Trump arrived at 60 Centre Street for his stint at jury duty in Manhattan's supreme court.

Donald Trump has a long history of making horrible misogynistic jokes and attacking women, but since making a splash onto the political scene with his June presidential campaign kick-off slamming Mexican immigrants as “criminals” and “rapists,” the billionaire mogul has hardly let up on his penchant for making sexist swipes, making at least six controversial statements about women since entering the race.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
ADVERTISING
Trump’s latest sexist dig is directed at the DNC chairwoman. During a weekend interview with”Breitbart News Daily,” the leading Republican presidential contender took out his frustration on the three GOP debates by directing misogynistic attacks toward the Florida congresswoman.
“You have this crazy Wasserman Schultz — Deborah Wasserman Schultz — who is in there, a highly neurotic woman,” Trump said, describing Wassmerman-Schultz. “This is a woman that is a terrible person. I watch her on television. She’s a terrible person,” Trump continued. “And in all fairness, she negotiated a great deal for Hillary because they gave Hillary all softballs.”
Megyn Kelly
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes,” Trump said of Fox News host and first GOP debate moderator Megyn Kelly after she pressed the former reality TV star about his past history of misogynistic comments during the first GOP debate.
“Blood coming out of her wherever,” he added. Trump’s lewd comment sparked a short-lived conservative backlash, led by Red State editor Erick Erickson formally rescinding an invitation to his Southern political gathering back in August.
Trump also led a Twitter tirade, #BimboBarbie, turning Fox News fans against the onetime star of the network for daring to ask Trump pressing questions:
"@timjcam: @megynkelly @FrankLuntz @realDonaldTrump Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo @MegynKelly will consider other programs!"

Carly Fiorina
Trump took another sexist swipe at his only female rival on the Republican side, Carly Fiorina. A September Rolling Stone profile revealed a particularly boorish moment for Trump on the campaign trail. “Look at that face!” he said at a conference table while he and his staff laughed as Fiorina took a question about him on television. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”
During the second GOP debate when Trump denied he was referring to the former HP executive’s face, insisting he was describing her persona, Fiorina delivered a simple debate stage smackdown. “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said,” she said to wild applause.
Hillary Clinton
Shortly before announcing his candidacy, Trump got into a bit of hot water for this since-deleted tweet suggesting that Hillary Clinton is unqualified to become president because she “can’t satisfy her husband”:

Later, after making his run for president official, Trump again ran into the sexism charge after mocking Clinton during a campaign stop in South Carolina where he raised his voice to mock the former secretary of state.
“Hillary, who’s become very shrill — do you know the word ‘shrill’?” Trump asked the crowd, screeching. “She’s become shrill.” Trump would later double down on the sexist dis, denying its gendered application.
“I think the word ‘shrill’ doesn’t apply to women exclusively,” Trump said the next day on MSNBC. “I know many men who’ve become very loud and obnoxious also,” said Trump, adding, “I would call Rand Paul shrill.”
Ivanka Trump
This one is more creepy than it is sexist but nevertheless serves as an example of Trump’s casually dismissive attitude toward women’s sexuality. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Trump joked that if she wasn’t his daughter, he’d date Ivanka Trump.
“Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father . . . ”
For her part, Ivanka defended her father’s comments during a CNN interview. “Look, my father is very blunt, he is very direct. He is not gender specific in his criticism of people … I don’t think that he is gender targeted at all.”
Trump even defends the burqa using sexist logic
The political neophyte argued at a recent campaign stop in New Hampshire for less U.S. intervention in the Middle East, pointing to cultural differences like the use of full body coverups for women.
“They want to” wear burqas, Trump said. “What the hell are we getting involved for?”
“In fact, it is easier” to wear a burqa, Trump argued. “You don’t have to put on makeup,” he said, pointing to women in the audience before waving his hand across his face.
“Wouldn’t that be easier,” he asked again. “I tell ya, if I was a woman,” Trump continued, signaling a burqa cover with the wave of his hand. “I’m ready, darling, let’s go,” he said, mimicking a woman forgoing makeup for a burqa.
I must be a terrible person because most of those made me chuckle.

The new Fox News poll, released late yesterday, is arguably the first major national survey conducted entirely after last week’s Republican debate. It makes the latest findings that much more important.
1. Donald Trump: 26% (up two points since mid-October)
2. Ben Carson: 23% (unchanged)
3. Ted Cruz: 11% (up one point)
3. Marco Rubio: 11% (up two points)
5. Jeb Bush: 4% (down four points)
5. John Kasich: 4% (up three points)
5. Rand Paul: 4% (up one point)
5. Mike Huckabee: 4% (down one point)
Well, Clarkson's speech has been described as incendiary!

The 2016 election's gonna be between Donald Trump and HDK (Hildabeast Dindu KKKlintler). If you wanna die in a thermonuclear neotard war, you vote for Hilda, otherwise you vote for Trump.
Why should I worry about that gunga? I can just move to the Sphinx on Mars and live a comfortable life there. As long as I avoid all the guns lying around on Mars.

And heckling will happen, if Luke Montgomery has anything to do with it. The Los Angeles-based activist and founder of the anti-Trump campaign Deport Racism 2016 is offering $5,000 to anyone in the studio audience heard saying "deport racism" or "Trump is a racist" on the air. The group is one of several protesting Trump's SNL appearance over "racist and xenophobic language" they say he's used throughout his campaign — with Latinos and Latino-Americans targeted in particular. Montgomery's is the only group, however, that is not calling on the network to cancel his appearance, but rather is encouraging hecklers to infiltrate and hijack the event
