To think the sun doesn't shine out of Jeremy Clarkson £#@*?

So he's an adulterous, racist, abusive arse man who my male family are glued to on Amazon Prime. WIBU to remind them of his shortcomings and to wonder how in the fuck the narcissistic pig presenter persuaded Amazon to back him?

Top gear is shite without him amd that's why it was a massive flop when Chris Evans and that bloke from friends took it over. It was pants and not a patch on when Clarkson was the anchor

Eyeslikesheepsfannys1 · 20/11/2016 21:26

I love Jeremy clarkson..😄

The sun can't shine out of his arse because his head is too far up it.

No, it simply differs from your opinion.

See, I like JC and RH and JM. He is an oaf. He is racist, he's all those things pp have said.
And he gives no fucks. In todays programming with all these shite 'reality' shows and 'Britains got the X Factor Strictly on Ice' bollocks, I find his blokeyness and non PC attitude amusing and entertaining.

If you dont like him, vote with your fingers and watch the joy that is Eastenders. Or TOWIE. or MiC. or Geordie Shore. or whatever twaddle you find entertaining.

P.s I loved their first show! laughed my arse off! JC for PM!

EdmundCleverClogs · 20/11/2016 22:09

Evilstepmum01 - umm you do realise that Top Gear/The Jeremy Clarkson Show comes under the same umbrella as those other shite 'reality' shows, right? It's all scripted nonsense, and 'blokey, non pc entertainment' like his is exactly the reason scum people like Farage and Trump get any time of day. He makes insulting behaviour, that belongs in the past, acceptable.

He represents exactly the problems we're facing as a society that wants to move forward, but can't let go of the silly idealisms that things were so much 'better' before being 'PC became a thing'.

Roussette · 20/11/2016 22:11

I've just watched Grand Tour tonight and it was absolutely superb. The beginning 10 minutes of getting to the main place was wonderful footage with all the cars.

Even if JC is an arse, I don't care in the context of watching the programme because I love cars and car programmes and this is just the best. No comparison to that babbling idiot Chris Evans who made me want to punch the telly when he was hosting TG.

SoupDragon · 20/11/2016 22:12

no it's simply a crap thing to say

how could anyone have their head up their arse physically

Bless. How can someone possibly be so ignorant of english language idioms?

Evilstepmum01 · 20/11/2016 22:20

um.....Edmund. shame cos I was watching neither of those shows. I was watching a car show. cos I like cars.
Farage and Trump may like cars also. I dont know. you may think of it as a reality show, thats your opinion. I watched an entertaining car show. and I liked it.

ghostyslovesheets · 20/11/2016 22:22

Evil just because the only TV programs you know about are soaps and reality TV doesn't mean that's all there is and therefore the only things people can watch if NOT watching JC Grin

Always assumed Richard Hammonds necklace was to hide his tracheostomy scar.

MrHannahSnell · 20/11/2016 22:28

The man makes brilliant TV. Did you see his programmes on the VC and the St Nazaire raid? You might not like him, but his work is first date. For the BBC to lose both the team that made Top Gear great and Bake Off does make you wonder if BBC management is really up to its job?

You cannot see how that relates to my comments that this sort of behaviour and attitude normalise these things in day to day life? It's 'not just a car show' is it?

It is the same as those other shows - it's scripted in a manner that makes it seem unscripted. If that's what you enjoy watching, fair enough, but let's not pretend it's more high-brow than any other show you listed.

MrHannahSnell · 20/11/2016 22:29

first rate bloody autocorrect!

Evilstepmum01 · 20/11/2016 22:29

ghosty you're right, I love documentaries. And the movie channel! (especially Sky christmas!)

My point was i find TGT a refreshing change from all these reality shows!!

Each to their own, right? Grin

Cailleach1 · 20/11/2016 22:42

It is wonderful that you now have to actively seek out their show. Before a body could just click on their vomit inducing, smarmy, git fest while randomly changing channels.

Evilstepmum01 · 20/11/2016 22:43

Edmund, I can see how this relates to your comments about behaviour and attitude. If you think that, fine.
I just watched a car show. and enjoyed it. It wasnt high-brow in any way. It was scripted. As is any show.
And I, like millions of people worldwide enjoyed it.
No likey...switch channels!

ghostyslovesheets · 20/11/2016 22:43

absolutely - I just don't like him and you can't make me Grin

BadKnee · 20/11/2016 22:44

Agree JC he is good at what he does.

Cannot imagine allowing my partner to control the tv I watch! In fact an ex did used to tell me that the fact that I loved crap tv meant I was stupid, had mush for brains - but then he turned out to be a controlling arse so I didn't stay with him for very long.

Evilstepmum01 · 20/11/2016 22:53

ghosty life would be so very boring if we all liked the same things!!
