This shocking news may come as a bit of a surprise to you. I was a bit of a surprise to me too.
Remember that post last week about the “Top Gear Ford Fiesta Review“? You know, the funniest review ever ever ever times infinity bru?
Well, some American site by a Cincinnati Ford Dealer (whose site is called the Beechmont Ford Blog and which is all about Fords in general, and in this case the Ford Fiesta in particular), linked to that post.
Nothing too unusual there – blogs link to other related articles all the time. I do it all the time.
In this instance though they did manage to make one teensy-weensy error. Take a look:
You do realise what this means right?
Jeremy, James and Richard se moer! I have officially been promoted and am now the new official host/cast/everything of Top Gear.
Ladies and gentlemen: please allow me to present…
THE EVOLUTION OF TELEVISION!
From this:
to this:
Awesome!
I’d watch that.
Oh, before I forget: You do recall the very first sentence of this post right? The one about the Stig’s true identity? Yes?
Did you all see the recent Top Gear review of the new Ford Fiesta?
If not, boy did you ever miss out on what has got to be one of THE funniest bits of TV ever made!
But never fear. Always here to save the day, I managed to track it down for you lot. All 11 minutes of it.
And you will watch them all! Trust me…
After being moaned at by a viewer for not reviewing cars “properly”, they decided to answer the call. The review answers, in true piss-yourself-funny Top Gear fashion, such pressing questions as:
Is it economical?
Is it easy to park?
Is it green?
What if I go to a shopping centre and get chased by baddies in a corvette?
Can I afford it?
What if I’m asked to take part in a beach assault with the Royal Marines?
Awe’frikkin’some!
The official Top Gear site has also put up a couple of photos of what they consider to be the Top 10 bits of TG telly. Go take a look. And yes, the Ford Fiesta test is one of them…
Here’s an outstandingly brilliant clip of British comedian Harry Enfield completely and utterly taking the piss out of Jeremy Clarkson. Even the Stig cracks an appearance. Loving their work!
——- First saw this clip on 2oceansvibe.com. Sorry Seth, but I couldn’t NOT post this clip.
So there’s a bit of a web campaign underway at the moment: some folks, who possibly take their Top Gear viewing a wee bit too seriously, have decided that Jeremy Clarkson should be nominated for the job of Britain’s Prime Minister. Granted, he has lots to say about those in power in the UK, and even has a few not-too-shabby ideas regarding all their policies.
For a bit of a laugh, and to see his rather different manifesto, check out the article he wrote for The Times by clicking here. There’s even a Twitter site for the campaign. Have a read here: Clarkson for PM (and no, the Twitter updates are not written by him).
Do you think he would make the Stig Minister of Transport? Coz that would be awesome…
Allow me to punt one of the world’s funniest books:
Those of you who watch Top Gear will know exactly the kind of humour to expect from old Clarkson. This book is not so much about cars, as about whatever he feels like chatting about (collection of his Sunday Times columns). Brilliant!
That’s the first in the series – volumes 2 & 3 are just as awesome. Heartily recommended. I collect the lot, plus added the RSS feed from the Times Online Jeremy Clarkson section for my weekly dose of his musings.
Clicking the pictures takes you to the respective pages on Amazon.co.uk. If you’d rather check them out at Kalahari.net, click here for Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3.
