No, I'm pretty sure I got it. I just couldn't really give a shit if Clarkson wants to off himself because he thinks the days of 'elf and safety have killed off the wonderful British supercar. They clearly haven't, he's just a pompous melodramatic twunt.

You found that hilarious? I thought it was so scripted it was cringeworthy. Yeh, the uncomfortable silences when Hammond just "happened" to mention that the other guy was a dwarf, or make some slight height related joke. Yup, that guy took real genuine offence, how hilarious. Or the non-English speaker. Indeed, completely accidental, and none of it was pre-planned. And the bimbo being completely bored; she knew she was going on Top Gear, and she was clearly playing up to the bored bimbo role.

I don't know, I just don't think it's very funny anymore. Hasn't been for a while, ever since each show became more and more about ridiculous challenges.
