Top gear mùa 6 tập 2 năm 2022

Years after their Top Gearglorydays, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May show no signs of slowing down. The presenter trio is still living dangerously, with May recently crashing into a tunnel at 75 mph while filming a special of The Grand Tour in Norway.

Over the years, the car experts have gladly participated in several dangerous stunts but even though their driving skills are unmatched, the endless laughter they bring is what sets them apart from other car show presenters. Whether through dialogue or comical moments, Clarkson, May, and Hammond have dragged the humor with them wherever they have gone. And on Reddit, fans have picked the funniest Top Gear episodes involving the trio.

Season 11, Episode 1

Redditor zeldahei thinks the episode with the “Make a better police car challenge” ranks high on the humor chats. In it, the gearheads are given £1,500 to buy any used car and turn it into a police cruiser that’s superior to the Vauxhall Astra diesel that the UK police use.

The episode’s comedy all germinates from the decision of the presenters to go the James Bond gadget route instead of making realistic police cars. May places a rear-mounted paint gun on his Lexus LS400, which is unlikely to help catch criminals while Hammond fixes a self-deploying spike strip on his Suzuki Vitara, which doesn’t work either as he hoped. Plus, there’s a more amusing moment where the trio goes after a “most wanted” criminal who turns out to be none other than the show’s test driver, The Stig.

Season 19, Episode 1

Redditor mattdocks feels “the episode with the P45” is the funniest one. In the season premiere, Clarkson attempts to build something that’s smaller than one of the world’s tiniest cars, the Peel P50.

The fact that Clarkson thinks of the tiny P50 as “too big” sums up just how fun a presenter he is. Driving the P45 through Britain’s streets and highways proves dangerous, but the daredevil does it anyway. The golden moment comes when he goes as far as to pitch his invention to the panel of one of the best business reality shows, Dragon’s Den. Clarkson lets his delusional side get the better of him and the fact that he seriously thinks of the P45 as revolutionary cracks everyone up. As expected, no one invests in the P45.

Season 14, Episode 2

MCSchwanz says, “definitely the electric car/Geoff episode. Never laughed so hard in my life.” Feeling that the G-Whiz is not a good-enough electric car, the presenters decided to build their own which they first name Geoff before renaming it the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.

The presenters can always be expected to botch such an attempt for comical purposes and as such, they build a box-like car that could be considered one of the world's ugliest. Instead of leather seats, there are plastic garden chairs and to troll Hammond, a transparent roof box is included to accommodate his “big head.” To further prove that they are not serious at all, the presenters cheat their way through the EU road legality test and even use the Stig’s weird-looking cousin, who prefers to have solar panels on his helmet, as a test driver. Well, an Auto Magazine review of the car at the end of the episode gives it a 0.5 out of 5 rating.

Season 8, Episode 6

When the trio goes vacationing in a caravan, everything goes wrong. Redditor anno4114 ranks “the Caravan episode” highly.

The humor in the episode feels inspired by some of the best Rowan Atkinson movies, given how events play out. From the dog getting ill to Clarkson accidentally setting fire to the caravan while making French fries, there is no shortage of WTF moments. And as if getting sick wasn’t stressful enough for the dog, he and Hammond get kidnapped by a female fan, leading to a rather amateurish rescue mission.

Season 17, Episode 4

Redditor kmutch comments: “I'll add the episode where they made trains.” In it, Clarkson and company believe there is a need to make cheaper trains, so they attach caravan carriages to cars and put train wheels on them.

The work done on the cars is impressive but what comes after is what triggers all the chuckles. First, the trio decided to through endless shady burns at each other as they argued with is better between May's "traditional" train (an Audi S8 attached to four caravan carriages) or Clarkson's "Sports Train" (a Jaguar XJ-S Convertible attached to an open-top carriage). The outcome? Fans get to hear some of Jeremy Clarkson’s best quotes in Top Gear. And since the superiority contests never end, they decided to race it out, all to disastrous consequences for the test passengers, who include members of the railway inspection authority.

Season 8, Episode 1

BlueEclipse comments: “Renault Espace Convertible. Absolute chaos.” Events revolve around the trio attempting to make a convertible people carrier by turning a Renault Espace into one.

It’s all mayhem for the presenters once again. Despite their best efforts, everything that could go wrong does indeed go wrong, but viewers are always here for such moments. A trip to a safari park to see if the Espace could serve as a tour van only results in the roof getting blown off and being destroyed by a monkey. Even better is when the tattered roof gets jammed into car wash machines, leading to a fire that forces Clarkson, Hammond, and May to run for their lives.

Season 9, Episode 4

In what can be compared to one of the cheesiest moments in Fast 9, Hammond and May attempt to modify a 1992 Reliant Robin into a Space Shuttle. About the episode, freashlymilc states, “I was in shock how well it was going.”

Like the Redditor, even the skeptical Clarkson is surprised by how well the whole process goes. Hammond and May have endless clownish moments as they attempt to become space engineers but in the end, they build something that takes off. Could it go all the way? It doesn’t, with the crash allowing Clarkson to break into his infectious laughter once again.

Season 10, Episode 7

In celebration of British Leyland’s 40th Anniversary, the presenters purchase 3 different models from the company, with each trying to prove that they made the best choice. Redlinefan writes, “The British Leyland challenge for me. So many good moments in that one.”

The episode’s brilliance lies in the creativity of the challenges meant to test each car’s performance. From filling them with water to see how waterproofed they were to driving with eggs to see how many will break (a test for comfort), the trio goes about cracking jokes and laughing at their misfortunes. Best moment? Hammond’s car fails the handbrake test and rolls down a hill.

Season 22, Episode 3

Pandemoonium recommends “the one where they build the “ambulances”, and do the race to get the nuclear waste explosion dummy casualties to A&E.” The Redditor is referring to the episode where the presenters are tasked with making their ambulances on a £5,000 budget.

The modification process is awe-inspiring but what makes viewers feel that they are in a theater viewing one of the best-ever comedy movies is when the trio engages in a challenge to see how first each of their ambulances can deliver a “patient” to a hospital. As expected, none of the ambulances turns out to be better than what is already being used. The casualties are plenty but luckily, they are all dummies.

Season 13, Episode 2

Clarksonism picks the episode where “they pretend to be 17-year-olds buying their first cars” as the funniest. After purchasing the cars, the presenters engage in dangerous teenage-related activities to see how much the cars can endure.

The humor in the episode stems not from the challenges but from the dialogue, notably Clarkson’s hilarious conversation with an insurance representative after discovering that teenage girls have to pay less than teenage boys. Watching the presenters also get into endless teenage-like arguments about which car has the coolest girlfriend-attracting features is a head-nodding experience too.
