Not exactly a disaster per se, but one of my favorite moments was when Jeremy’s improvised parking brake (partial wooden beam) went careening through his rear windscreen. I had to pause the episode to catch my breath from laughing.
Yes that was briliant. TopGear days if i remember correctly, but still.
Was the exact same balls up I thought of as well !
@@destructionnl8165 Ah, I believe you’re correct. Totally overlooked that… whoops.
Top gear Africa special, one of my favourites.
Sometimes Jeremys genius is almost frightening.
The water sloshing over James in the Merc will never stop being funny 😂
I know...he is practical and quiet clever, the fact that this never occurred to him as he was building it, and the look of shock, outrage and annoyance on his face...I was laughing till I ached! I showed my elderly parents this one as my mother thinks they are a bit silly and its stupid, and even she started laughing at May and his misfortune....No wonder Hammond and Clarkson were laid out on the floor....
There's something charming about seeing Hammond watch these and give those little extra details to already brilliant moments.
Absolutely!
4 shizle!
"in normal shows, this would've been cut, but in our show, it's the best bit"
Hammond sums up exactly the magic that's made his, Clarkson's & May's shows thrive for so long. 🙂
Hope COLIN went ok today!
Richard still losing it at James getting soaked is oddly comforting
And in exactly the same way with his hands on his face 😂
"We've made a career out of embracing total failure"
Just one of many reasons why we all love you!
Please Richard can you make a podcast with the other 2 , would be the best few hours of chat ever ( beers included obviously)
Most likely will never happen, although it absolutely NEEDS to
YESSS!!
Man honestly its been a while since I have heard or seen them together. 10 minutes of mucking about in a pub is all I want from these 3 and I would be one happy individual
@@YegoYTP Seems unlikely, agreed. But it would be nice, especially now The Grand Tour is ending i hope Clarkson and May would be willing to join Hammond every now and then for a news segment or a podcast or something.
I understand the guys have been working together for 500 years now and Clarkson and May probably want to slow down now, but a podcast or a news segment would fit the slow down plan, right? Not as much work or time consuming as traveling the world.
And they’ve already got a name! Conversation Street!
My favourite is still the Vietnam special from Top Gear. That might be one of my favourite pieces of television ever. You three made it magic, and there are moments in that that are clearly candid. When Jeremy walks in the first night hours behind Hammond and May, there's a moment where clearly a camera man had just grabbed a camera, and there's a glance to camera from Jeremy that was so funny, he knew he was being teased. Also later when he genuinely fell off the bike and got road rash was so painful. Any time someone said to me "It's all scripted" I'd point to that and say "not *all* of it is scripted". Also James making it to the dock with Darcy at the very end and Jeremy and Richard falling over themselves laughing. What a fantastic piece of television.
The man CANNOT ride! He’s very open and honest about it, more respect to him…
The bit with James and the dock with his piece of statue. I laughed till I cried! It was silly but so heroic. Then I started to think I had seen it somewhere before. And it came to me. The end of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! Indy is on the remains of the rope bridge and climbs up into shot, from a dangerous deadly situation. And you see his hand first then him and everyone is just glad he is alive. Then his other hand comes up with the Sankara Stone, the whole point of the adventure and he has managed to save it against all the odds. And its typical Indy, a hero moment, and funny at the same time. The shot of James coming up the dock ladder, he has made it! Then the other hand with the stone statue...its just so much like it, I wondered to this day if it was a deliberate homage rip off, or just happened that way and triggered my memory of the Indy film...
Oh no, me dongs gone soggy
Same, such a great episode and adventure
I love this episode to death
i dont think there will ever be any other source of entertainment that i've enjoyed more than watching you three do your thing over the last nearly 30 years. im only 27, i started watching you guys when i was about 15 so around 12 years ago, i think ive watched every episode of both top gear and the grand tour with you three, probably at least 5 times each. ive watched each special easily over 10 times each. there's just something about the chemistry between you three, the fact that you three have always spoken your mind without fail and without folding to outside pressure. all three of you genuinely are level headed, smart, entertaining, funny and educational which has made for the best talk show, infotainment, car enthusiast program and just best show on television or the internet of all time. i dont think there will ever be anything like it ever again, nobody alive can hold a candle to you three and the hundreds if not thousands of hours of entertainment you've given the world. im going to really miss the grand tour once the final episode airs. i hope it's not the last time i get to see you three together. as an American, you three are about the only three Brits i like. stay safe and take care.
Yes...I cant believe its coming to an end I am heartbroken and bereft. Try being me, I am the same age as Hammond, give or take a few months. And I have been watching live, right from the start on new Top Gear back in 2001. Every episode, every Sunday night without fail. And loved every second and laughed and cheered and never missed a second. I am English in the Uk, and used to watch original Top Gear and loved Clarkson when he was on there then, he was the most interesting part of the old show and always got to drive the sports cars and made the most over the top and interesting comparisons and metaphors. People watched it then just for him, it got a popularity boost and when he left it slid into obscurity vey fast. The 2001 return was an utter triumph and all three together were event tv, everyone would be talking about it for the rest of the week and loving it. The show got me through my lousy times at work and my divorce. Any time I was sad or down I would put on one of the adventures and be entertained and laugh so hard at the antics I would get a stitch. It was and is tv magic. I got Amazon just for the Grand Tour. Whatever they do I will watch it and support them all, simply because of all the pure gold tv, comedy, adventure and fun and entertainment they have given me all my life...
I am from Puerto Rico, and seen every episode of both shows. And true, nobody will ever replace them as a trio on any tv show, no matter which type of show is.
@@rafaelcruz2109everyone who's tried to copy their format and antics has fallen short of what these guys do naturally. No comparison
@@yz250ftony True! Is what these guys are! Is what they did all these years after finishing seasons. They didn't want to know of each other after finishing recording. So when they resume on another season they were fresh. That chemistry was what catapulted any show they did together to a success.
James and the fishtank sloshing all over him and Jeremy and Richard bent over laughing is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Absolute hilarity.
Hammoooooond, can't wait for the special in Zimbabwe, thank you for finally coming to my country, I've been watching you guys since I was 8.
@@ernestkeller186I did the same thing 😅
That James May and the fish tank always make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it... and jeremy & hammond's laugh are so contagious
Richard trying to get up a ski lift on a sled had me laughing non-stop for 10 minutes straight. I had to watch it over and over. Comedy gold!
Yes, I was watching that before Christmas...and waking up in the shed as it goes down the ski run..Typical Clarkson gag, over the top, loud, dangerous, stupid, but the funniest thing since the last thing they did, and utter tv gold, priceless and laugh till you cry moments...
A Scandi Flick is one of the very best episodes to ever be on television😂🤣
I’m so glad Hammond and James have taken to UA-cam, there is genuinely no such thing as too much of them. It’s great to see my idols growing up in such a casual setting compared to their usual highly produced programs
I remember laughing the hardest I ever have from a TV show at the episode in France. Specifically the scenes demonstrating parking in France, Bunny hopping a Berlingo and, most importantly, Hammond flipping over his Citroen for no reason at all
There was a close call where James nearly got his head taken off after his door caught a gate and Hammond shunted him from behind.
That clip of James’ Merc from Mozambique has to be my favourite of all time 😂
The disasters are great but my favourites are actually when the outrageous ideas sort of kind of work out. For this reason Clarkson's Toybota is pretty much one of my favourite things from the 30+ years these guys were on television. It went wrong in the end, but they had to force it to go wrong, it actually worked if one was being moderate.
... which is why it *didn't* work when driven by the Clarkson... 😂😂😂
@@alexleech4490 True, although it was basically only at the end of the ep, for most of it even he managed to hold back.
I mean, the entire premise of the Mongolia Special fits in this category. Dump the trio hundreds of miles from civilization with a flat-pack car they have to build, see if they can follow Christopher Robin's map-drawing skills and get out alive. And shockingly, they didn't just survive, they survived _well._
Jeremy crashing the Reliant Robin over and over still has me in stitches every time 😂
Very sadly TGT is coming to an end but i would very happily watch a (or many) special episode of the three & crew just sat around talking about the ups & downs, favourite moments, cars & trips, interesting behind the scenes info with some clips etc. Not only from TGT but also TG.
„This is my comfort zone. I‘m stepping in.“ Immediately crashes the car.
Now that filming for the show is over, I really hope we get videos from these 3 going over their favourite/worst memories from TGT or/and TG or even a montage of personally selected best bits from TGT/TG
you can tell that hammond really loves doing these crazy shenanigans. he looks back and laughs at himself and everyone else and enjoys watching his own content, which, not a lot of movie/tv stars actually enjoy doing
Dearest Richard, I do not know if ALL 3 of you are aware of the laughs, smiles, and honestly the cringes we all shared with you over the years of the shows. No matter how bad the workday was, we could come home and see what the 3 of you were up to and wonder what you were thinking. When my beloved was at home in hospice, we could watch the Grand Tour and if only for an hour, you 3 helped us deal with the pain and to us that was PRICELESS. This may be very sappy to you but like I said, the 3 of you will never know how much you mean to so very many and how loved and missed you are. Please give Captain Slow and the Shaved Ape a hug. Favorite moment has to be when you and Jeremy kept putting James's car in the bookstore and the cafe. God speed to all 3.
"I don't like water, I'm from Birmingham."
Thanks for reminding us, Rich!
For the 874th time in the last 20 years!
James May with the fish tank had me laughing so much!
laugher laugh laugh laughergoje
This may be one of my favorite clips so far, guys! Thanks to our 3 gents for putting their all into the most insane stuff ever, and letting us all watch it
Surprisingly, i thought that Vietnam boat special was one of the absolute best episodes you've ever done!
When he says "not having a nice time" at 10:25 it reminded me of jeremys german accent on top gear 😂
My favourite bit was when you woke up dangling from the helicopter. You really weren't happy lol
The best part of the boat capsizing in Scotland for me is Jeremy off camera shouting.
" Hammond's gone episode down again"
It never fails to make me laugh! 😂😂😂
This is what really got me into episodes, when all that chaos was happening, all the humor and funny bits is what made the show so popular and it was them that actually did it, so Top Gear did a mistake but not a bad for them, then new show is just as good, still have to watch most of it. And then I found out one of them also likes Alfa Romeo, that is when I was more interested in the show, I actually had a 1998 156 2.0 for a while, still want it, but have been driving alfas since then, also because the parts are usually quite cheap thanks to so many manufacturers these days.
Oh man, I loved this episode. Richard going back through some of the best bits and answering questions we didn't know we had. Loved it, I hope there are more of these. It would be awesome if the other two could make videos like this too, just to get their points of views too.
It's still so sad that TGT ended. Even though the last section was only specials it still was great. I will miss them and i can see that i will watch it even more than 6 times a year.
Every year i rewatch TG S6-22 and TGT S1-S5 atleast 3 times (minimum once in German and minimum once in OV).
It hasn't ended
@@EresirThe1st basically has
@@EresirThe1st it has, they already said that (if i remember right) only two episodes will come out until they leave
It's always so adorable watching Richard laugh at himself 🥹🫶🏻
Thanks you three, for this (special) moments! That's exactly what sets you apart from many other TV shows and is simply brilliant... Don't take yourself so seriously, brilliant :)
Can truly watch this for years on end.
My absolute favourite bit of disaster on TGT/TG was James on his Honda motorbike turned into a motorised raft, when it inevitably collapsed a couple of hundred yards away from the finish line. ''OH COME ON!!!!''
Any clip that has Hammond screaming in terror is a good clip.
7:04 Richards face is hilarious 😂 he didn’t like that at all.
We were there Richard! 😂 Amazing to see you laughing at your antics exactly as we all did… many many times! Thank you … keep it up!
This is brilliant! However anyone else see the picture of the motorbike on the wall? I absolutely love that!
I introduced my gf to the show yesterday. To say the least, she's taken an interest in motorsports and think you guys are hilarious. Love your work, it's timeless.
Every episode has a great disaster but James with the fish tank through all the episode was the best for me 😂😂😂😂 also the Madagascar episode with your Ford
James with that "fishtank-car" is for sure one of my favorite moments, I laughed so, so much first time I saw it, and I still do when it's shown for some reason. It's just hilarious! Also, Hammond driving that motorcycle on a muddy road somewhere... Don't remember where..? Muddy, wet roads and he fell like a million times.
It's a miracle they survived. ;)
I would love a commentary about the one where Jeremy pushes you down a ski slope in your made-motorhome, Mr. Hammond 😁
I love these bits, thank you so much!
Should have done a video on Hammond's reactions to times the Grand Tour went right!
Him talking about “this used to be my job” makes me feel like there won’t be anymore grand tour.
That's brilliant. sinking that fishing boat is TV Gold lol😊
Richard still losing it at James getting soaked is oddly comforting))))
I think the funniest bit I seen was Columbia special and James car broke down in the middle of the trail so Clarkson was going to go around and he hit the back bumper and May threw a rock at his windshield. Then Richard went through a side cut around may. Clarkson followed. Richard got stuck, backed up, slammed into Clarkson. Everyone was hot and angry…I’ve seen that one 30 times already and laugh everytime.
That is what has made you Guys so Awesome, Legendry and Unique ,Thank you for the years of entertainment you have brought me 🙏🙏💯💯👍👍
one of my most remembered moments is in the beach buggies, Richard and Jeremy are driving alongside each other and Richard suddenly just drops out of sight down a dune, very big heart sinks moment, glad he was ok through that
Absolutely love the old science class room desk Richard, those little gas taps bring back memories of mischief in high school!!!
More boats - crossing the leak(?) reservoir, crossing the mud flats where Oliver was the star, crossing the channel to France, changing the oil and sparkplugs on supercars, replacing doors on removal vans, build a racing car that only had to START a race, power sliding trucks, cargo trucks on the Alpine Course....the list goes on and on. Sabine Schmitz in a van failing to beat the Jeremy's time (just).
It has been my privilege to watch you and your mates "play" with cars around the world. This was great because a car program about cars I can't afford would be informative but very very DULL. Something the three of you have NEVER been. MANY MANY THANKS
tbf richard, when you and james may drove to orkney to beat the post in the porsche, the outtakes were better than the actual footage, you and james sneaking on the heated seats to burn each others asses ha ha those outtakes were brilliant
Many great memories of laughter at the adventures and misadventures.
You reversing your red lifted pickup truck on Jeremy’s Jeep 🤣🤣🤣 and the time Jeremy pushed your cottage thing down the slope in Scandi Flick
Shout out to whoever behind the scenes was like "Apple isn't paying us, we really shouldn't have the apple logo front and center, should we cover it? No that looks tacky. Oh, but the reflection of the desk name tag is dark". Classy! I mean technically you don't need the name tag in the shot because it's in the title of the video and we all know who Richard Hammond is or we wouldn't have clicked on it. But still nicely done. I see your efforts.
I know this one was from Top Gear back in the day, but the spectacular explosive crash of the Robin Reliant shuttle you guys launched using home-made rockets was bar none the all time best disaster ever filmed. :)
BEST MEME to come out of grand tour- Fish Scene
Love seeing Hammond do these, would love to see jame or Jeremy do one
I remember when Drivetribe started decades ago. I signed up the very day I saw the ad with the Trio. And yet, we haven't seen the other 2 as much as we've seen Richard. Especially Jeremy. He hasn't been on in a while. I wanna see Jeremy and James more frequently.
great video, well done guys! 😁
Always a treat to watch someone else watching telly
One of my favorites was when the massive scales broke with Hammond in his car and on the scale.
I’m loving Richard watching this I hope you enjoyed watching just as much as us fans 👏
Richard's desk looks like it's come from a school science lab. Gas taps and all
thank you for the video
I'd have to say, out of all the accidental crashes you guys have had on Grand Tour, my personal favourite is curiously the one where James crashed into the boom gate in Gdansk on the Eurocrash trip. Cause never in my life have I watched one of the specials and there's a crash before the actual journey begins 😂
The best trio! You are the legends. Thank you for your labour men, waching every moments with you guys is awesome pleasure. Just keep it going, it is never mind what kind of show you can make, just make it. Make grand tour festival with tents at the final point. Every tent can be sold with profit for the next tour. You have lots of music friends, cooperate with them, make up some kind of Burning man at your style🤞🙌💪
"There's no dignity in this at all". Would be a great alternate title for any program that involves a challenge the three of them do together.
Hammond, my absolute favorite TG/GT host.
I forgot about the parachute disaster! I think I nearly suffocated from laughter when I first saw that!
Loved this❤
I love how this many years later... His reaction to nautical stuff is still: "I don't like water, I'm from BIRMINGHAM!" 😂
The bit with James and fish tank still makes me laugh so hard. 😂
Always enjoy these.
The fish tank dumping its water onto May was the very first thing my daughter saw and laughed at on her own without us trying to make her laugh. She was so little but thought it was the funniest thing ever and is a treasured memory in our house.
I always wish I could watch the fish tank in the car moment for the first time again 😂 😂
And then when Jeremy break tests James 😂
Please do more of these I like them🤣
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! 😍
James' Mercquarium was just about the funniest thing I've seen. It's up there with setting off James' car stereo with the remote control in Top Gear series 19 🤣🤣
And Jeremy being overtaken by a lorry on his tall "house" Citroen, followed by James bursting out laughing
richard hammond reacting to a video that is now a viral instagram reel is hilarious. guess that means he just made another one for us to use in reels. 😹😹😹
I still love the look on the face of the giant orangutan (Jezza) when he knew he cocked up the turn in the PBR and ran it straight up onto the mud bank, and then all the excuses under the sun as to why he grounded, and then the look of amazement as the locals came along and pulled him off the bank in five mins after all the crew's efforts.
Captain Slow getting soaked by the fish tank car is one of my all time favs.
My No.1 favourite was Hammond struggling to get on the ski lift in Scandi Flick
A lottttt of fun stufff cant list all, but one came to mind just now, When Jeremy's RV/Top Deck thing lost brakes and controls and they guys had to wedge stop him, and climb in from windows 😂
8:40 "I don't like water. I'm from Birmingham it's a long way form the sea". But aren't we always told that it has more miles of canal than Venice?
Long life to the 3 of these men!
I quite liked when Jeremy and Richard got lost in a cave together trying to find Ba Hang in Vietnam on those motorbike boat things. xD
Yes, I think that is probably my favourite episode of all the specials, they are all great but that one is unique as Clarkson is out of his comfort zone with the scooter from the start and its his reaction to it and bikes in general that makes it, that and the stunning country they are in and all the various things that happen and what they see and experience. When they are in the cave and Clarkson deadpan quips that if you have just tuned into Top Gear, Britains favourite motoring show...and they are bobbing about on converted bikes in the sea in a cave and Hammond starts having hysterics...at the comment. All three make each other laugh all the time and that is just as funny as the stuff that goes on. The thing that makes it work is all three are so different, yet all of them are so skilled and so experienced and worldly in their own ways, it creates pure magic. You have to be sharp, clever and witty to come up with stuff like that, even if some of it is scripted, its not something just anyone can do, as the tv presenters and so called celebs of today are proving....
@@Simon-xc5oy Bang on, they're treasures all of them. Can't script those laughs no matter how hard you try either. I hope the three keep making specials now and then.
Love these videos 🤠 but please show more than a couple seconds of the clips in question
"It made sense to us on the day" ... Yeah it definitely did..😂😂😂
One of my absolute favs is when Hammond tries to go up the hill with the skylift in a ski resort in northern Finland
Love the old Iroko Lab work top with the gas taps!!
Loving the zonda drawing in the background
5:27 "I'm gonna die again"...Never change Mr. Hammond, never change
My favourite clip where those 3 did the eco-friendly cars, and they made them out of plants and bone and straw using the body from a Land Rover Discover and James May's one fell apart constantly 😂
my favourite disaster on the grand tour was "fine aged scot" james may's window wiper!!!! utter class, the simplest thing make your piss yourself laughing, i was in stitches ha ha
