its because Jeremy Clarkson was born in the start of the 60's and he's never in military service, nor if any country invaded the UK after WW2. It would be the best way for him to experience the explosions and the banging sounds... Well until Top Gear.
I know, nobody would probably see this, but what I like the most about it, is that those elderly people probably had a really nice day. Joking and laughing as they went to their activities.
I'm actually impressed at how Jeremy made a self destruct system that works perfectly fine and no one was harmed, if Hammond is doing that then the car would basically turn into a moving nuclear warhead.

I'm only 36 but i absolutely love spending time with the older folks! It really helps my perspective in life and frankly, they have more experience at it than i do, so i appreciate their perspective on matters. Plus, a lot of them are actually still young at heart. Far too many of them have been thrown away and forgotten by their own flesh and blood.

Just a reminder to cherish your elders (within the realms of possibility and respect for your mental health, of course). You never know how long they can stay around, and when they're gone it always feels like something important is missing.
I mean, a lot of the problems identified are genuinely problems my grandad had with his car. - he struggled with the UI - he would have loved the name “rover James” - he could never put anything in the boot bc it’s too high - he did complain a lot that the wing mirrors were too small
@@bert1029 no worries, UI means "User interface", so I was talking about the sat-nav, air conditioning, radio, etc. All the buttons were small, and often the descriptions made no sense. Top gear greatly simplified this, and I'm sure my granddad would have genuinely preferred this design to the car he had.
I think that's the point when they do car mods on top gear. The general way it goes is they have brilliant ideas but enginered by idiots. That's where the comedy comes from.
Barbara: "I'll do it if it kills me!"
Hammond: "We'd rather it didn't, there a lot of paperwork....."

My other issues are the lack unique challenges, locations and destruction.
American's are better at scripted comedy than reality TV. All of our reality TV is just OMG MY DAUGHTERS PREGNANT OMG LETS CALL SWAT and everyone is crying and screaming.
Kare2muchJR sorry to bub your burstlle but top gear is like 90% scripted.
Yea, and Americans just don't have that "Britishness" that makes British shows like this, and bottome, vicar of dibley etc. so good.
*****
And the fact that it's just a straight rip off. I'm not going to watch a copy.
***** You act as if Americans straight up stole it. BBC decided to make the show in the US, its still produced and scripted by the Brits.
Lady - " what is she called?"
Jeremy - " No this is the James"
Hahahahja
“When have you heard banging like that?”
“The war. When the bombs dropped.”
Blimey that’s funny.
Elderly women like those truly are gems, beautifully spirited
I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!
Good one!
Haha the Italian job reference
GamingGamer01 w
Ed Myers You got the reference wrong... and in three years not a single person corrected you
I just realised why it’s called James 💀
If Charlie’s family from Charlie and the chocolate factory had a car this would be it
Goddamnit, since when did Ice Age Baby run the FBI?
@@thejay8963 What the hell happened here?
Props to the pyrotechnics/explosives and practical effects team for that sequence with the self destruct. That's bloody excellent
"ill do it if it kills me" Thats a person who reminds me of my Great Nan RIP
the squeaky break was the funniest
Just a reminder to cherish your elders (within the realms of possibility and respect for your mental health, of course).
You never know how long they can stay around, and when they're gone it always feels like something important is missing.

Every time the brakes are pressed, I die laughing my ass off! Greatest episode I ever saw on live tv back in the day!
It's so funny it sounds kinda sad.
I mean, a lot of the problems identified are genuinely problems my grandad had with his car.
- he struggled with the UI
- he would have loved the name “rover James”
- he could never put anything in the boot bc it’s too high
- he did complain a lot that the wing mirrors were too small
David bray Sorry to sound dense, but what's the UI?
@@bert1029 no worries, UI means "User interface", so I was talking about the sat-nav, air conditioning, radio, etc. All the buttons were small, and often the descriptions made no sense. Top gear greatly simplified this, and I'm sure my granddad would have genuinely preferred this design to the car he had.
I think that's the point when they do car mods on top gear.
The general way it goes is they have brilliant ideas but enginered by idiots. That's where the comedy comes from.
You sound like a programmer or tech support guy. You used the word "UI" and you put everything nicely in bullet form 😃
