+Becky Boulton Actually, when it originally aired the exchange between James may and Clarkson was before Clarkson put the pipe in his mouth backwards, you can actually see it when Hammond goes "You don't look right with that but have you seen.. over my shoulder" that Clarkson is still smoking his pipe normally. I can't remember what the exchange was about but then Clarkson turned his pipe over and burned his mouth and was gone for far longer than this clip showed. And thus when the episode re-ran, they cut it into what we see here.
Let's be honest. even if we're on the internet everyday, if someone we know suddenly said "i went on the internet" we will be concerned about what they found.
@@TraustiGeir probably he really enjoyed that because it's very different than normal cigarettes. I don't smoke anything, but for lots of people it's better than cigarettes in a right way (also less dangerous for your body).
+Brett Skywalker yup, but if I remember correctly BBC was the one who game up with all the stuff they did so I hope they have as creative people in the new one.

One of the funniest things to do with smoking ever made. I love how each of the trio react differently: Hammond drops it, Clarkson can’t get his to start so does something stupid, and May just gets in his element smoking his pipe in a comfy chair.
Roger Dodger I think he meant Top Gear with those Clarkson hosting it. After the Golden Trinity left, Top Gear went to hell, especially after Chris Evans did his best impersonation of a “funny host”.
+Tommy D Well it might be a bit too late to tell you this, as I am sure you already know, but the production quality on The Grand Tour is quite good and the humour surely isn't dead.
As a pipe smoker it’s obvious that James actually smokes a pipe regularly or at least from time to time as it takes practice to light a pipe without it going out
Ismail Taher. I saw a bit from later in this episode on TV, and I couldn't figure out why everything was so blurry/pixelated. Turned out they censored the f-ing smoke!

+Romulan2469 the meaning of liberal was entirely different in the past (and still is, outside of politics). it meants being free to do what you want asl long as you do not harm others, especially without opression from the government. everybody should be free to choose if they want to smoke, buy a gun or eat chicken, if they want to. noone forces people to smoke, its a free choice
T'noiht on bo'm gee'. Jeremi smoks eh expensive pipe backwods! Jamms is gon tell you som'thng. And Hamend spins out in a porshse! This'n moo: On bottom gear!
genuinely, May was a secret Don. in an alternate timeline, he built a room in his house. it had a large, hand crafted oak and leather chair; Mahogany everything, including decorative art pieces; a cellar, full of wine and whiskey barrels. He sits on his throne, smokes out of a Mahogany pipe, and reads, anything really. James May Swanson.
This is these three at their best, buying something impractical and ridiculous, Jeremy doing something ambitiously stupid and failing royally, Richard is just mocking everyone, and James feels so at home in an armchair whilst smoking a pipe but the best part is that he doesnt care, Jeremy's "thats not gone well" after he burns his tongue is just the icing
I like how the pipe is foreign to Jeremy and he doesn't know how to use it, Richard is familiar with it but doesn't really like it, and James is an enthusiast who enjoys smoking a pipe and is quite comfortable with it.
Don't know if anyone's noticed, but Richard never actually lights his pipe throughout this. The other two do, but he actually doesn't. In the first episode of the series this is from, he said that he had quit smoking.
Bring back Clarkson! The BBC Forget that WE pay the licence fee and wages to those at the top of the BBC and 900,000 TV licence payers want Clarkson back. If he is sacked then let the BBC go bust!

AAAUUUUHHGGH
That's not gone well!

douglas wahid I feel the same way about stereotypical Americans and Scottish
I cant imagine that James May used to be 20
He was never 20. He was born middle-aged!
The Clear Summer Nice one
Some say he was born at 50
Some say he went through his entire school life at the age of 55
This man jumped from 5-50

"And I found this"

And me too lol
This episode was before that meme was a thing.
not here though
James is just enjoying an opportunity to smoke a pipe
It's clearly not his first time doing so.
It can be rather enjoyable
@@TraustiGeir probably he really enjoyed that because it's very different than normal cigarettes. I don't smoke anything, but for lots of people it's better than cigarettes in a right way (also less dangerous for your body).
@@TrioLOLGamers it depends it's more harmful because it's not filtered but it you are just puffing and not inhaling then it isn't as bad.

All James needed to complete this was a pair of warm slippers, a gentleman's evening gown and a glass of sherry.
Could probably also have a book of poems and a fireplace
along with his chair on top of an expensive rug with a bookshelf that reaches all the way to the ceiling in the background
And a fez.
And annoyingly clearing his throat every couple of minutes.
and get one of the haircuts like from the 1700s

WELCOME TO BOTTOM GEAR MATES!
The cut from James' incredibly dry humour to Jeremy smoking a pipe backwards is the stuff of legends.
"I just want to point someone with my pipe...and I'll tell you something" litteraly crying now..
This is the best of British humor, shame Clarkson chinned the producer
he didn't

Ha yeah
i love how james doesn't give a shit about jeremy and just sits there and continues to smoke XD
As a pipe smoker it’s obvious that James actually smokes a pipe regularly or at least from time to time as it takes practice to light a pipe without it going out
No it doesn't. It's in how you pack it - and you are supposed to light a pipe with matches, not a lighter.
Now smoking on stage is considered a crime for 'condoning smoking'. while swearing . violence . cutting people heads off . all that is perfectly fine

1:30 Jeremy’s guide on how not too smoke...
There’s a reason those things say “not made for kids”.
Clarkson may be 60 but his mental age is still 9.
@@iBlewupthemoon98 We all are deep down :)
9, not 60. Or maybe both actually...
The dynamic of these three
James: Used to smoking
Richard: Uneasy and very new to smoking
Jeremy: Goofing around at smoking
Haha, James really was in his element
i fucking love james may
Hammond is the only man I know who could crash a prosche pipe
When i was younger, Jeremy was my favourite, but not that I'm an adult, James definitely takes the cake
T'noiht on bo'm gee'. Jeremi smoks eh expensive pipe backwods! Jamms is gon tell you som'thng. And Hamend spins out in a porshse! This'n moo: On bottom gear!

*coughs COughs*
JEREMY[ its a 911 , the hot bit goes at the back ]
Jeremy’s funniest “That’s not gone well!”
That me laugh a lot XD
I love how they’re both intentionally messing it up but then there’s just May to the side going ham
Hell, are we ever going top miss these three, so bloody funny and entertaining. If they were on tv every day, I would even buy a tv licence.
"and i'll tell you something else"
"uHHHHHUHHHHOHHHHAHHHHHA"
for some reason May just looks natural with the chair and the pipe
0:28 for the p o r s c h e r e n t h u s i a s t
1:21-1:24, I just love how excited Hammond gets there about James pointing with his pipe and then mimicking him.
Clarckson: the funny one
Hammond: the charming one
May: The Absolute Baller
genuinely, May was a secret Don. in an alternate timeline, he built a room in his house. it had a large, hand crafted oak and leather chair; Mahogany everything, including decorative art pieces; a cellar, full of wine and whiskey barrels. He sits on his throne, smokes out of a Mahogany pipe, and reads, anything really. James May Swanson.
you can tell james is a real smoker.
james is the boss lol
No wonder why James is always so chilled out
Good news, you can now buy a James May Combo Pack! Includes 1 James May, 1 Leather Chair and 1 Pipe. Tobacco not included.
James still has the pipe! He smoked it on a food tribe video
Jeremys pipe looks quite good.
This is these three at their best, buying something impractical and ridiculous, Jeremy doing something ambitiously stupid and failing royally, Richard is just mocking everyone, and James feels so at home in an armchair whilst smoking a pipe but the best part is that he doesnt care, Jeremy's "thats not gone well" after he burns his tongue is just the icing
0:58 roight lets take a whiff
ery noice
jeremiah tobacco gas bad for helf
Jerrrrrmooo geeeets nicoteeyn addict
Shut mouth hammock
James smoking like a sir. All he needed was a big glass of cognac
The moment Jeremy starts coughing, I cannot hold my laughter in
Jeremy is definitely the type of guy to burn his tongue for a rear-engine joke.
"Thah's no goh well" I love them!
I love how James goes to Jeremy "And I'll tell you something else" and then as if right on cue Jeremy starts coughing cos of his pipe!
That is the most genuine laugh ive heard from hammond …
James May looks absolutely glorious when he has a pipe. It's like an extension of his body.
I love Jeremy and Richard are just fucking around and James before they even started has just been smoking and observing them
Captain Slow iz da Boss with his pipe!
James is a master at pipe smoking by the looks of it.
Jeremiah tasted exhoost fume
ery nice
*aaghs noh gon weww"
"We went on the Internet..."
Thought it was about to go somewhere else...
I love how they start using Car terminology as soon as they pull out the pipes.
It’s a 911 Porsche
Hot bit goes at the back
Such a good joke
*Jeremy:* "It's a 911 Porsche - hot bit goes at the back."
Famous last words lol
k, i'll ave a wiff

"I've spun off in my porsche" makes me laugh every time
May drips elegance !
One of the greatest trios of all time

This is the perfect summary of these three on the show.
