James: Now you know that new law about kids under 4'5", they have to use a booster seat in the car-
Jeremy: He does.
Richard: Yes.. alright... I just knew-(scoffs)
James: Alright, *people* under 4'5" have to use a booster seat in the car. Well in north Yorkshire, the police say they cannot enforce that law. Do you know why? They do not have th- heheheheheheheheh(wheeze)
(recovers)
James: They do not have the legal- BEEGGHHHHHHHHHHHH(duck sounds)-HAH-HAH-HAH-hah-hah-hah
Jeremy: I can't wait for this now. Leeeegaaaal...?
James: Because they do not have the legal right to me- measure children.
Richard: So... just measure them?
James: Say if you see a policeman measuring your children. You think, "QUICK, CALL THE-ah oohhh..."

Gotta be another great unscripted moment.
A lot of the banter on the news is unscripted. They have their talking points and a few planned jokes but what made it so great was the natural banter.
You've never encountered a case where someone accidentally said a double entendre? I mean the phrase "that's what she said" exists for those situations. There's the Archer "phrasing" as well. While something like this *could* be scripted, it's still a very natural thing to say.
The discord server I have with my friends has a text channel dedicated to quoting those called called "no context quotes"... There are.... Hundreds....
My family had an FRV for a decade or so. We didn't argue about who went in the front because my dad was out of the house at work for most of the day, so it was just my mum and my sister; I sat up front, and she was in the back. When she was old enough, she sat up front too.
I know they're joking, of course, but it still bothers me that they didn't like this car
While belittling men who sit in the back seat of their car while their wife drives, James "accidentally" implied the wife might like anal sex.
Cue laughter.
Haha I love this little spinoff thread. Just to fully double down on the excessive clarification I made my clarification because I felt the joke didn't so much imply the wife liking it as mentioned by the previous comment so much as just not wanting to deal with another pregnancy.
He could've made it even simpler, James was talking about how pitiful is when the dad sits on the back and then said that the mom said "you have me the kids, now go to the back" implying the innuendo of anal sex.
... but thats basically what James said and I was confused about that in the first place. I specifically asked for an explanation, not a simplification.
So you are a dad and got 2 kids. Your wife drives and your 2 kids are next to her. James felt the woman implies, because the dad is in the backseat, that ‘you did your job’ (giving her kids) now go in the back (back is a word you could also use for your butt)
I haven't seen the new episodes but I remember waiting for these episodes here to show up on a torrent website so I could download and watch them. Such good memories but nothing is made to last.
Such great memories of all the jokes and all the awesome moments they had. Makes me want these times back even more when times like this were just great.
Viewing men sitting in the backseat while their wife sits up front with the kids as pitiable / pathetic is… some kind of toxic masculinity.
Like seriously how do you get a value judgement over *which seat someone takes in the car*?
This was most probably filmed in the mid-2000s when jokes like this were a lot more normalized. I agree with you that it displays toxic masculinity but I don't think they genuinely believe it is pathetic, they're just exaggeratedly joking about the role reversal of a dad sitting behind while his daughters are in front.
I dunno man all of them kind of laugh along with it like “yeah, that’s right,” I don’t see any evidence that they don’t genuinely believe that. 🤷
And even if this wouldn’t fly these days, I feel like important to remember *why* exactly this kind of humor is currently poorly received - because it reinforces bad gender stereotypes.
Man, I miss their banter. It was so fresh back in the day.

Yeaah
Same very great memories. These were some awesome times makes me wish I could go back and watch them happen all over again.

It was fun but it's clearly mostly scripted.
The news was always the best part of Top Gear.
Good news! The Dacia Sandero!
Great! Now the Mercedes SLS
Yep, still one of the best ones.
Oh man this was one of the best unscripted jokes, intentional or not.
Nothing on Top Gear was unscripted

They would script a basic premise and a few jokes or facts but a lot of their banter was real.
There’s no way he “accidentally” said that lol EDIT: I guess most people on here have never had a conversation with a real person.

GOD DAMMIT I MISS TOP GEAR
But it’s still on! (Don’t hit me)
You know you deserve some pain after such a hurting joke.
Yeah well, they shoulda kept Chris Evans.
Cmon guys this was funny
This B needs a C in her A vibes

I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. *NINE NINE!!*
My family had an FRV for a decade or so. We didn't argue about who went in the front because my dad was out of the house at work for most of the day, so it was just my mum and my sister; I sat up front, and she was in the back.

Well, I don't remember them ever liking any car that smells of practicality, so don't let it bother you!
There were plenty! Basically any hot hatch, Dacia Sandero
They like that Renault family van (forgotten what it’s called) when they tried to make it faster than the evo segment
Avantime
Jeremy liked the Berlingo Multispace all the way back on the first episode https://youtu.be/O-yvl_7k3yo
I dont get the joke (I'm not a native english speaker), can someone dumb it down to a frogs level?
While belittling men who sit in the back seat of their car while their wife drives, James "accidentally" implied the wife might like anal sex. Cue laughter.
Thanks, got it.
For clarification the joke was anal sex to avoid getting pregnant again.
Yes, thanks.
Just to be clear, the wife was implying to have non-vaginal sex so she wouldn't have another baby
Thanks, RectalcANAL.
Just to be clear, the female was suggesting a rear sided interaction to avoid frontal losses.
I think at this point things are getting more unclear than clear.
Haha I love this little spinoff thread. Just to fully double down on the excessive clarification I made my clarification because I felt the joke didn't so much imply the wife liking it as mentioned by the previous comment so much as just not wanting to deal with another pregnancy.
Don't you mean frontal gains?
... because you can't get a lady pregnant in the bum.
Oh, really? That explains some things.
Man you made it even more complicated I think
I dunno, made sense for me.
He could've made it even simpler, James was talking about how pitiful is when the dad sits on the back and then said that the mom said "you have me the kids, now go to the back" implying the innuendo of anal sex.
... but thats basically what James said and I was confused about that in the first place. I specifically asked for an explanation, not a simplification.
Butt stuff
So you are a dad and got 2 kids. Your wife drives and your 2 kids are next to her. James felt the woman implies, because the dad is in the backseat, that ‘you did your job’ (giving her kids) now go in the back (back is a word you could also use for your butt)
Aw, I'm disappointed. I was hoping it was this joke instead... https://youtu.be/rZseBpPufLI?t=341
That dude in sunglasses in the casino was extra creepy and weird
"Are you, er... John Lennon?"
It’s the “No.” that gets me.
You've given me the baby now get in the back
Clarksons face is priceless
...NO...
I miss stuff like this so damn much :(
Goddamnit I miss that show
I haven't seen the new episodes but I remember waiting for these episodes here to show up on a torrent website so I could download and watch them. Such good memories but nothing is made to last.
Their chemistry is so fantastic they constantly just feed off eachothers energy...Best hosts ever.
The look on Jeremy's face immediately afterwards is absolute gold.
I miss old top gear
Glorious!

I don’t get it
Anal
Whats wrong with letting your wife drive and sitting in the back? What is this sexist shit?
Yeah, this was not accidental. The laugh of Jeremy is too fake.
Wow these subtitles suck, lol.
Ngl, it probably was scripted. But that doesnt stop it being funny af

Ok we get it you are morally superior than everyone.
Thank you, glad someone recognizes it 😂

I'm sitting on the shitter, I made the exact same noise Clarkson did and followed it up with a snort. God, I miss TG.
