Pascha Sat 11-Feb-12 21:47:36

YANBU its crap. The jokes wore thin some time ago. Even DH the confirmed petrolhead hasn't watched it for at least a couple of series.

Ban football instead!

I like it despite myself, especially the "Specials".

It's on virtually the whole time here (2 DSs). I have to watch it with them in order to interject every now and again to point out Jeremy Clarkson is a big old racist misogynist (unfortunately sometimes funny).

He did say something overtly racist the other day to a young Asian audience member about stealing cars...

YABVVVU! I love it! It makes me howl laughing! Ds2 love it as well.

troisgarcons Sat 11-Feb-12 21:53:23

Th Vietnam one was splendid.

I still cry @ caravan conkers

suburbophobe Sat 11-Feb-12 21:53:58

Oh you are so NOT being U

Hate that Jeremy guy. And that whole programme. Always zap it off straight away....

why am I not surprised a racist comment was made?!

I don't give a toss about what any of the presenters have said at any time. I just think the format is tired and dull.

Glittertwins Sat 11-Feb-12 21:56:21

It ceased to be factual years ago, it's just a petrol head comedy now but I love it!

TheOriginalSteamingNit Sat 11-Feb-12 21:59:24

YANBU. 'I drove this car and the production team made the other man drive that car, and therefore I have to say that my car is the best car and he is a gay for driving the other car, your car is gay and you're a gay'. blah blah blah.

YABU. I am so not their demographic but I love it.

Don't watch Dave! I don't mind it but the presenters are quite annoying.

NormanTebbit Sat 11-Feb-12 22:07:36

Why is Top Gear always on?

how many of these bloody programmes have they made?

And why is my DP, who was not in the slightest bit interested in cars when I met him, now nearing 40 and chuckling away watching it? hmm

LaBoccaDellaVerita Sat 11-Feb-12 22:09:24

Oh I love it! I'll watch repeats on Dave or whatever too.

WorraLiberty Sat 11-Feb-12 22:10:25

YABU it's brilliant

BrianCoxHasScaryHair Sat 11-Feb-12 22:11:29

YABU, it's fun to watch.

If you don't like it, turn it off.

YANBU if you only ban repeats though, why the endless repeats on Dave???

In fact - just ban all repeats of every show ever made (with the exception of Friends, DD now watching and I still find it funny)

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake Sat 11-Feb-12 22:15:21

YANBU! I hate hate hate it too!

Butkin Sat 11-Feb-12 22:40:50

YABU - I love it, especially the specials, and so does DD who saves them to her ipod. I think they are doing a short run of the new series is a good idea -best that they don't go stale. They are still top of their game.
