a Ferrari the Ferrari?

I kinda hope this show flops. People don't realize how much was done behind the scenes to make it a success. Wasn't just the three of them.
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
Ugh. He's such a reprehensible toolbag.
fauxki
Alright, now all Clarkson has to do is not punch someone this time.
DrMardini
And on that bombshell im giddy

How do you guys love this guy but hate Kanye?

Whenever people try to tell me that karma is a real thing, I just point out examples like Clarkson. He is such a piece of shit of a human.
Crested10
Yup. The guy's a frockin douche. Haven't watched an episode of top gear in years.
Piornet
This guy is a fucking dick and I hate that Imgur worships him.

Yay, more casual racism and smugness from the middle aged boychild whilst being cheered on from adoring fans.

sneaky amazon lol whoever thought of that strategy to bring this show into amazon prime deserves a hefty pay raise
weegs
People will get Amazon Prime just to watch this and it will bring a lot more attention to Prime Video. Solid move on their part.
JayDelCor
Top gear is back and the three are getting their show together . .. now i just need to get my life back together and we are gucci !- . .
TooBadSheWontLiveButThenAgainWhoDoes
Strewth! Good to see someone defying the Times paywall and bringing this column to the people, OP!
LooseyGooseyBrett
I like the show but I lost respect for him after he punched the producer
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
You have to look at it in context. Its not that bad really.

Link to context?

Haven't seen an episode yet but I'd still pick this show over the American version of Top Gear.
vladtheman
We must never speak of this version. As far as I am concerned it doesn't exist.
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
I'd pick your nose for you over watching the American version. Its just so bad. The acting is so forced, the jokes are lame. Its stinks.
troublemutt
Actually, I fucking loved Top Gear, but how dare he moan about finger wagging when he assaulted a colleague. That would get anyone fired.
Chixiepixie
And making out that it wouldn't happen in America. Pfft
SherMattLockSmith
The Ferrari the Ferrari.
kepler20c
Pretty sure it was the publishers mistake, translated The Ferrari LaFerrari into just english.
dubstructor
I think it's just Clarkson making a joke...since it's 3 times in the article. However, the text under the image correctly says LaFerrari
justahumanonline
They can make brilliant cars, but somehow fail to realize how the names translate outside of Italian.
5Fingers
Let's hope his new co-workers are safe from being punched in the face. Or anywhere, else for that matter.
Chixiepixie
No, you see. That won't happen because it's American. He can assult whoever he pleases. /sarcasm
Lilliesaurus
Exactly, that's the part I don't get. Yes, he is funny (albeit offensive) and has great banter with May and Hammond. The show is great /1
Lilliesaurus
But he assaulted a fellow human being. I completely understand why the BBC had to fire him and feel kind of shitty that they actually pay /2
Lilliesaurus
The price while he largely maintains his popularity and gets to continue his work. I mean, he hurt someone. That is never OK. :s /3(End)
jrau18
And not a single lesson was learned this day.
Dantesrecipebook
So should he not have gotten a new show?
jrau18
No, he should not have. Why should he be rewarded for that? What lesson is he going to learn? "If I do it again, I'll just get a third show"
StillbornGod
So if you get fired from a job, you are not allowed a new job in the same field?
jrau18
If you get fired from a job for assaulting your superior, then yes. You should not be given a free pass to do it again.
StillbornGod
But firing someone isn't about teaching a lesson. It's just telling someone "we don't want to work with you anymore".
rostit
nope.he should have gotten charged with assault. wanker.
ProAtCrastination
Somebody please read this first and tell me if it's worth it, I'm too lazy.
PaulyParker
Quick summary. New show. Won't have elements from bbc show as bbc owns them. So new totally new show. They still review cars though.
themobileappisbroken
It's worth it.
GhostKerrigan
It's worth it
Warlocktopus
yeaaa, i'll wait as well
Mothergooch
Nope. Your comment was more than I read of this post. 5 stars, though. Would read again.

It makes a great point about not having to follow stupid censorship rules, but we're stuck on Imgur :(

TL;DR - "Wooh new show! Suck it BBC!" But yes, it's an entertaining read.
NorwegianVikingPower
I especially enjoyed the part about the wormhole
elhopaness
dinomightX
well at least your username is accurate
highlandcow
The first part was pretty okay, but after the picture of the whole crew, it became about cars and it was sort of boring. 1/2
highlandcow
TLDR (probably should have been in the first comment) TOP GEAR IS BACK BUT BECAUSE OF LEGAL SHIT WE HAVE TO HAVE A NEW NAME.
killernerd
i'm probably going to get amazon prime just for this.
ReLeVaNtUSERNAMESareReLeVaNT
Primes worth it just for the free two day shipping. Also their line up as improved a lot lately with the older HBO shows and what not
OliverClothesoff70
I have both Amazon Prime and Netflix. I like them both. Hulu and their commercials can kiss my arse! (I spelled "ass" all British-like."
IndAldre
Hulu has a commercial free version now.
BeeR411
And it's fucking brilliant
yehaaa6
I'm watching Stargate SG-1 on it right now!
justahumanonline
I've got the student version, so yay, new content I'll actually watch!
Dearslay
Bought it for the deliveries, stayed for the Video and Music streaming services
underpantswizard
I have it and don't think I've ever used the video service. Shrug.
ReLeVaNtUSERNAMESareReLeVaNT
It defiantly improved form it was at the very beginning they have a bunch of the older HBO shows (band of brother, Boardwalk empire, etc)

I feel bad for the Stig all alone by itself in some crate somewhere in the BBC

Could they legally incorporate a stunt driver character with a different name, story, and outfit?
strugglesnuggler
I still say they should have him wander in the back of other TV shows. Slowly getting more and more homeless looking.

I'm always amazed how popular Clarkson is outside the UK. The guy is a racist, Tory-voting douchebag. Friend with David Hameron! Gross
RogueTampon
It's strange that he is almost the opposite of Trump in that regard. Trump is similar but comes off slimey but Jezza comes off as endearing.
Mothergooch
All we know in the States is that he's a mildly amusing albeit grumpy white guy on an awesome show. My Welsh buddy fucking HAAATES him.
Treblaine
Maybe, now this is a crazy idea, everyone you like doesn't have to pander to your politics?
giantsquirrel
Amazed that voting what seems like a mainstream party can actually get you that much hate.
3llis
Also amazed that Top Gear is so popular both in and outside of the U.K.
MitchBeaucannon
Because we don't have to care about UK politics, we can enjoy his bigotry guilt-free.
nelshai
Partisan factionalism ftw! Remember folks: If they have different political viewpoint to you then they're the worst kind of scum. :DDD
Lubla
Being the star of one of the most successful TV shows in the world will do that to you. The popularity I mean, not the others.
dootdootfloop
he was like it before the show infact
wingzero124
This! His comments here give me the impression that he now just gets to be as racist and backwards as he wants 'cos its the internet'
InsomniacJustice
Well he wouldn't be wrong
evildeanie
He's popular inside the UK as well.
fitzy200
He's not that poplular. Times are a changin and he's about a decade out of touch
sixthjackson
Yeah, mostly with racist Dads who think climate change is imaginary.
nelshai
Not really. He's quite popular among many demographics. As is Top Gear in general. One of the most popular TV shows in the world.
