Host of Top Gear on BBC Jeremy Clarkson has had many great sayings on Top Gear often referred to as 'Clarkson-isms.' What I want to know is, what is your favorite?
I'll start it off:
Exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster. -Jeremy Clarkson
 
"I pulled over to let the twin-turbo V12 cool off". (talking about a Yugo) I really PMSL at that point. :lol:

"Princess Diana had one of these"
 
"(On the BMW X3) If you are clinically insane, by which I mean you wake up in the morning, and you think you are an onion, this is your car." :lol:.

- Does this thread really belong here :confused:?
 
Talking about a Koenigsegg: They say this model is more confortable. More confortable that what? Getting stabbed?!
 
From Jeremy's level crossing jumping message "Unless you want this to happen to you (points at Renault Espace that got hit by a train) , always wear this (tugs his high visibility jacket)."
 
"The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite."
 
"I've been trying to think what it is that this shape reminds me of, and last night it came to me. You know when a dog is doing its Number 2? That kind of arched back thing? Thats what it is! It's Hideous!"

- Reviewing the Chrysler Crossfire.
 
Two of my favorites,
*LOUD MUSIC LOUD MUSIC LOUD MUSIC........silence*... "and a dollop of chlamydia..."

"In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled – usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was."
 
I like this one too:

"This game would only be more real if a big spike shot out of the screen and skewered your head every time you crashed."
 
Clarskon on the what to do in the event of losing control in an Jaguar XJ220...

"Our father, who art in heaven, ill be there in a minute."

That's not his line! I had a T-shirt that said that back in the seventies.:crazy: He stole it and seems to take credit for it here on Gtplanet often.:indiff:

But it's not a Clarkson original!

Hell I've said it longer than Top Gear has been on TV, long before I ever heard of that guy.:indiff:

Clarkson has made it popular and that's the only place people like me heard it. I'm sure there's many lines/sayings that many people like Jezza have said that were around before they said it.

Well, not to be pendantic, but all three if them have a writer who's job it is to write "the stuff that makes people laugh", their lines in other words. A lot of ad lib takes place, but yes they have a script. I can't remember his name, but he is usually one of the commentators on episodes which have commentary, like the race across South America.

The main script writer for Top Gear is Richard Porter. He also does the Sniff Petrol website which is pretty funny.
 
It was being said long before he stole it..If you and the rest of the kids fail to see that point it's on you..

His writers didn't write it either, they stole from someone else..👎

But whatever give credit to that moron.:yuck:
 
Who didn't get that point? Only one person gave him credit for it. All I was implying was that while Clarkson is indeed witty, he also has a writer, and chances are the writer incorporated that already known line into Clarkson's script, as well as numerous other Clarksonisms. Dang.
 
Also, there have been many other things thst he didn't read from a script. Do you think all his Twitter posts are pre-written? Or that all his answers in interviews were read off a teleprompter? Sure, alot of the things he has said over the years have existed long before Top Gear, but in his voice, it's what you remember.
