no but it is a middle finger to the BBC

even though they are blocked from doing almost everything that was good from old Top Gear, this shitty show is still better and gets more viewers than new Top Gear with it's PC lineup

They forgot that they are a car show.
Too much time spent doing stupid, non-car stuff.
Not enough time on reviewing new cars.
Everything feels way too staged now. I know it always has been, but this is just getting ridiculous.

Your old producer hates your guts, does anything to piss you off, go too far and he punchs you, you fire him even tho he is basically the main star, writer and director the everything and puts up with your shit for the love of the show, his mates quit.

you can also spin it to "BBC had enought of Clarkson's rayciss b8 and repeatedly told him to tone it down but he's too much of a fucking autist so he didn't"

at the end, we don't know what happened, but one thing I believe: he deserved to be fired. Taking out your frustrations on someone who has a job much harder than you its the ultimate "I'm a giant faggot please rape my face" move

PC culture.

Watch Top Gear from 5-10 years ago and listen to the shit they said. Now fast forward and look at how they put Clarkson through the wringer for absolutely nothing.

Tbqh I think some people at the BBC had a personal vendetta against Clarkson, and just wanted to fuck him over.

>During the second episode of series sixteen, Hammond suggested that no one would ever want to own a Mexican car, since cars are supposed to reflect national characteristics and so a Mexican car would be "lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence, asleep, looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat." Hammond finished with the remark "I'm sorry, but can you imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican?!" Following complaints, the BBC defended the broadcast of this segment on the grounds that such national stereotyping was a "robust part" of traditional British humour.

Again, stop blaming PC culture for the firing of your mancrush, it had nothing to do with him being PC or not. The BBC tolerated his edgy humour for years and backed him up regardless of what he said or who he said it to (Germans, bus drivers, lorry drivers, mexicans, french, whatever...). Even on the Argentina special and the relatively recent Burma special, when some PC bitch complained about the "slope" comment, the BBC backed TG.

What the BBC couldn't tolerate, and no fucking company on earth will, is you acting like a petulant manchild and punching a coworker. Clarkson is just a faggot and is the only one to blame for the demise of TG and the failure that is GT.

>>16502536
I love the fact that they were equal opportunist when it came to insults, but what people seemed to miss is that they would also talk a lot of shit about Britain and it's leaders. As an American I loved the jokes the boys would come up with about America, because some of them were so true it was what made them funny.

They all had the last laugh though, because the new Top Gear is a fucking abortion and everyone hates it, even normies who were their target demographic.

The show is too American for Brits to like it, and not funny enough for Americans to like it. It's just trash.

It had everything to do with this. The world has become increasingly hypersensitive to that kind of thing. I'm astonished that TG lasted as long as it did with the dialogue those three would put out. Especially when you consider Britain is pretty much the epicentre of cuckoldry. It was only a matter of time before the ice wore too thin, and Clarkson was swallowed up by the icy depths of nu-male crybaby bitches like yourself.

Go change your tampon faggot, you probably peed a little when I triggered you.

This. A real man who find some way to blackmail Clarkson and have $500K dropped in the trunk of their car after the set wrapped.

>>16502691
He didn't make a fuss of it. Quite the opposite.
Clarkson decided it would be a good idea to tweet that he hit a colleague, at a time when the BBC was under media pressure to control it's stars.
So they controlled him by cancelling his contract. He didn't really give them much choice.

Let me guess, Mr. Manly Man, your I.Q begins with a decimal point, right? By your logic, you're the pathetic one since you're answering to a "vaginal discharge" at 2 a.m.

Clarkson is a dumbass and no amount of "muh macho" can disprove that. He killed a great show because he was "too stressed" and is in the process of killing yet another show that, despite having millions in budget, is much more boring than seeing a spaniel-haired man assembling shit in a shed.

>>16502760
He still does a lot of stuff for the BBC. I think that he only does TGT for the paycheck and maybe out of obligation.

>>16502771
He's also been doing occasional car shows on BBC2. He's a busy man.

>>16502798

>>16502803

The time was in reference to when Clarkson allegedly tapped his producer. It was in the early hours of the morning and he was tired as fuck, and the producer was refusing to let him eat anything because he was a cuckish crybaby who wanted to take his nappy nap.

He was doing exactly what made the show great - being a stupid lad.

you mean they went out to the pub, and when he came back, he was astonished that a 2 AM the kitched was closed. Which is what his director told him. No "no food for you", simply that the kitchen at their hotel was closed at that time. And Jezza punched him for that

Things to fix the show:

>Get rid of the stupid american persona test driver

Would make more sense, for this joke, to have an Italian who's impossible to please and calls every car he drives a shitbox if it isn't Ferrari. That or hire someone like Tiff to test all the cars. He could use the pay bump.

>Stop doing the special guest interview joke and start doing "guest stars" that go on drives with them for a small segment in the open

They could lawyer up and say they are active actors of the show rather than guests.

>Hire a different director of photography and coloring/gamma editor

It's too fucking bright and he makes boneheaded fucking mistakes like not putting neutral density gels (think sunglasses) behind the windows so the background doesnt get blown out.

>Get back to testing cars and talking about the results in a insightful way, a la top gear from a decade ago

That's what we fucking want.

>Get a new test track

That track is fucking horrible and they have enough money to rent out a real race track like Laguna Seca or countless test tracks around england/USA that manufacturers use. This thing is fucking mickey mouse as fuck and needs to go.

>Change the song

It's dad rock in the worst way possible.

>Hire media consultants that are wizbang aces in the field of what works vs what falls flat

Explain to Clarkson that his jokes are mostly not funny if he's not being incredibly cynical, all knowing or wise. We want more of his smug decision making, not self-deprication.

>Restrict long drive, ambitious two-parters so that they are "that much better" when it happens

I'm tired of watching three old men complain about eachother all over the world.

>More travel segments where they find beautiful scenery to test cars and give insightful, intellectual input on the situation

Again, it's what made Top Gear good.

i always liked when they would buy crappy cars for a few thousand pounds and then have to do shit with them, but they don't do that anymore so the show is shit imo

>>16502935

The reason why the Stig exists in the first place was because they couldn't find a driver who had an intelligent thought while lapping to being with.

I'm sure a bit of it is hubris from the trio but mostly it's the BBC trying to kill possible competition for a Top Gear they know is not strong enough to stand against the old trio.
