>Recordings of people hysterically laughing had to be inserted into the critically panned first episode of the BBC2 motoring show when the around 500-strong large crowd failed to laugh at jokes by new presenter Evans and his sidekick Matt LeBlanc.
>One glaring example of the fake chuckles came when the Friends star made a joke about Top Gear and Lawrence of Arabia.
>During filming, Evans even had to plead with the crowd as they refused to laugh, telling them: “If you find things vaguely funny or you think they were supposed to be funny please laugh.
>"That would be great.”
kek this is fucking Jeb!-tier antics 'please laugh!'
Kinda feel sorry for them actually. There's no way they could follow the old crew. May Hammond and especially Jeremy made that whole show what it was. BBC is just trying to suck more money out of something that they destroyed in the name of political correctness.
They're trying but it will never be the same. I feel sorry LeBlanc and whoever else is with him because no matter what they do it will never be great again, even if they're passionate about it. BBC fucked everything up for the sake of playing nice. I hope the network crashes and burns
Julian Green
I'll never understand ho some shit show about cars got so popular. Glad it's dead for good now.
Henry Richardson
maybe they should come here again, we all laughed that time
Austin Bailey
Why did they end the original?
James Ortiz
The cars were just the framing device for shenanigans.
Jackson Bennett
>no one realizes that this was all done on purpose, down to the license plate, and that everyone is in on it, including whatever the fuck his name is that isn't on the show anymore
Isaiah Perez
Their first mistake was trying to emulate the formula.
Parker Flores
no way that was 'pure coincidence'.
Carter Gomez
Because they warned us to never buy shit American cars. Why would I drive a piece of shit chevy when Porsche is around
Cooper Murphy
You shouldn't feel sorry for them. They brought this on themselves by accepting the role. Nobody made them do it.
Evan Mitchell
Jeremy punched someone because he wanted a hot meal and not cheese with crackers
It's pretty common for studio audiences to be asked to "laugh louder" during filming.
I was an audience member for QI and they asked us the same thing, despite most people finding it quite funny anyway
Logan Williams
>Meanwhile, Chris Evans has been insisting his Top Gear is a hit, writing in Twitter: “The new Top Gear is a hit. OFFICIALLY. 23% audience share. 12% MORE than the opening episode of the last series. These are the FACTS.”
lmao
Joseph Edwards
But if you dig deep enough, you'll know exactly why they ended the show (pic related)
Levi Butler
If you were offered their job would you decline? I'm sure LeBlanc wants to make a great show that people will enjoy and is likely even passionate about cars. But the fact that BBC is just exploiting the gimmick for money means it will never be what it was and people won't enjoy it, which is just kinda depressing if you think about.
Gabriel Butler
nah, it was just a coincidence, they didnt intend anything driving into a town full of war vets was also a coincidence
Christian Martin
>watching n00 top gear >not watching reruns on Dave and pretending Jezza never got the sack
Jeremiah Smith

Charles Jenkins

I'm surprised, why would you cut into profits for the sake of muh diversity?
Justin Sullivan
>12% MORE than the opening episode of the last series Yeah, only because most viewers only tuned in to see how shit it is now. Watch the viewcount PLUMMET from now on.
Dylan Hill
>women >funny Found your problem Mr (((Cohen)))
Nathan Martinez
Next time, on "When people pander to SWJs, we have an inside look at a failing games company, another once funny show no longer being watched, and ALL NEW looks inside marvel, and their declining comic book sales".
Everyone thinks there is a legbeard market, but there is not.
The only thing you can sell to legbeards is magazines about having legbeards and how evil men are. Tryin' to make anything else pander to them will only deter current consumers.
Jeremiah Lewis
Because the Corvette and the Mustang 350r are better than that overpriced piece of shit.
Carter Sanchez
Shut up nigger, and stop being butthurt about those faggy islands.
Michael Hughes
says the taco nigger who is butthurt over a wall
Christopher Ward
Would you watch it if they had Steve Coogan instead of Chris Evans, all else being equal?
mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/steve-coogan-slept-car-after-6975380 >described how he spent the night in his car stuck between two landslides in the aftermath of Storm Desmond > no signal on his phone he was forced to sleep in his car - with just his dog for company >"And I got stuck at midnight and there was no signal on my phone and I had to spend the night there." >"Fortunately I had my dog with me, so he kept me company", he added. >"And I'd been to the shops, so I survived 'Bear Grylls' style on nuts and berries - but I bought them at Marks and Spencer."
John Gomez
They'll never stop, Juan. They make children's cartoons about it so the new generation grows up butthurt too, I've seen one.
Chase Myers
The BBC can't crash an burn because they force citizens to pay licence fees. Why would they crash an burn?
Jordan Butler
So why scrap the entire thing when they could just get Sabine on as a permanent host?
Michael Morgan
>kike PURE COINCIDENCE
Isaac Thomas
>Cohen
Carson Lee
>"And I'd been to the shops, so I survived 'Bear Grylls' style on nuts and berries - but I bought them at Marks and Spencer."
This could work as Top Gear banter. In my mind I heard the audience laugh. Maybe some other host could make a piss joke.
Aaron Murphy
I don't like British television, and i dont give that much of a shit about cars, but BBC topgear was god tier.
I gave the reboot a chance and it was as good as the American version. By that, i mean its shit.
Dylan Jackson
>p-please laugh Not surprised, I watched the first episode for cringe. Almost feel bad for Joey but he brought this on himself. It's terrible.
Jose Anderson
Don't forget the EU funding too.
Ryan Thompson
>hear about how shit it was >torrent the first ep a week ago out of curiosity >get to the first skit >WE GOING TO AMERIKA! >OIH YEAH TOP GUN PILOTS AND WACKY GUNS ON CARS CHASE MONTAGES PEW PEW >close and delete
It's literally top gear america all lover again, fucking terrible generic bland unfunny shit.
The people they chose are fucking nobodies and has-beens, the only one I wanted to see was Chris Harris.
Jose Watson
The BBC picked a diverse fucking panel missing the point that Liberals never watched the original. This will be canned in 6 months
Robert Bennett
>But if you dig deep enough, you'll know exactly why they ended the show (pic related)
Don't have to dig that much to find the anti-white agenda. They proudly print it in papers, they openly admit their intentional lies.
Dylan Long
They get EU funding?
Also I think someone said if the BBC stops broadcasting nuclear submarines are ordered to lunch MAD.
Henry Howard
>had to sleep in his car for a night while peoples homes and livelihoods were being washed away in a tide of mud and shit
The poor lamb.
Eli Cruz
just proves that people didn't care about the car-shit but only about the mad bantz.
Unless it comes with canned ratings, I can't see that solving the problem.
Jonathan Morris
>BBC >crash and burns
what is socialism
Jack Wood
BBC ruin everything
Ian Nelson

Adrian Gray
This is like something out of Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron
Joshua Williams
He gets paid regardless. He is the director of a government owned corperation.
Lucas Morris
It's not their fault you faggots are so easily offended. You tried a land grab, you got your asses thoroughly kicked. Get over it.
Josiah Brown
amazon will make everything daijoubu
Luis Rodriguez
BBC are liberal extremists and SJW's. Because the sort of people who go into broadcasting are the same people that sit at starbucks with apple products.
Bentley Long
Praise be to kek.
Jackson Russell
Best Spurdo I've ever seen, I can't breathe
Tyler Gonzalez
some argument that could have easily be settled without firing someone taken as an excuse to get rid of one of the last prominent conservative BBC employees.
Matthew Fisher
Suprised anyone in argie admits to being a "war vet" after the mass surrenders
Zachary Stewart
oh, come on, you laughed at that cartoon with the english subs
Jace Howard
Can someone explain why a program financed by the UK/EU panders to Americans?
Anthony Hill
I remember that - ended with a mob throwing rocks at them, literally chased them out of the country.
Ryan Thompson
I feel bad for LeBlanc. The rest of the hosts can go die.
Brody Morgan
>every >fuckin >time
Jacob Russell
BBC have wanted to get rid of Clarkson for years because he's an old schools "mans man" with conservative views and not a Labour supporter.
Carson Martin
(((Globalisim)))
Juan Ward
The host of our most popular show said nigger 1 time better fire him. What coude go wrong.
Jaxson Reed
He's not much of a conservative to be honest, pro-EU for example. He's just politically incorrect and speaks his mind without worrying about offending people.
John Rodriguez
Does the BBC honestly think this will be a success?
Oliver Foster
>have Prime >haven't ordered anything in years >wonder if I should cancel >this happens
James Johnson
>>During filming, Evans even had to plead with the crowd as they refused to laugh, telling them: “If you find things vaguely funny or you think they were supposed to be funny please laugh. >>"That would be great.”
I would have laughed right then and there.
Asher Cruz
I like how tay began with nigger speech like "cuz" and she transformed into Sup Forums.
Dylan Long
because american college-culture pretty much controls europe.
Leftists might cry about american imperialism all the time but they pick up every brainfart they shit out like its the word of god.
Xavier Price
She could out drive all the others guys and knows her stuff, she's the best choice out of the new line up, maybe the only good choice.
But unfortunately Clarkson did ruin things by punching one of his producers in the face over something trivial. None of us would get away with that at our workplace, and being popular and famous is not a good enough reason to sweep it under the carpet.
Political correctness has killed Top Gear. But some of the press have been using it as a means to attack the BBC, they leap on everything Clarkson says or doesn't say. That fuss about him audibly saying 'nigger' in a nursery rhyme when it was supposed to be muffled - it was cut from the programme before broadcast and he apologised for it anyway. Yet the press and others with an axe to grind wouldn't let it go.
Tyler Robinson
That is fucking insane. Just, what. the. fuck.
Anthony Taylor
simply a COHENcidence
Tyler Foster
I'm not an expert on banter obviously for various reasons, but I have the urge that political correctness and banter don't work well together. It's like expecting a buttoned up banker guy to play the bongos at occupy with a bunch of hippies wearing dreadlocks.
Gavin Foster
Isn't the producer irish? I thought this was normal in Ireland.
Oliver Rogers
lol stay mad cuck
Nolan Wood
>Armed militias of Falkland "war" vets trying to kill you and chase you for miles, blocking you with armed checkpoints, surround you in your hotel and trying to lynch you. Then you have to cross Chilean border illegaly over a river to save your lives.
Oh yeah, very funny. Right up there with that episode when Alabama rednecks tried to shoot Clarckson.
Hunter Nguyen
>Literally chimped out about a license plate. Argies; stay butthurt.
John Rivera
I'm pretty sure Evans is probably posted some greentext on /r9k/ because of this.
>TFW they would laugh when Chad made jokes. >TFW I just wanted to do car show. >Feels bad man.
If shit keeps hitting his leftist fan, blowing shit in his leftist life, he'll become red-pilled the hard way.
Also, Based KEK is here.
Elijah Cruz
Embarrassing.
Angel Reed
this has happened with comics that go full SJW or SJW made comics. A bunch of people buy issue one and then drop it instantly once the novelty of bad wears off.
Elijah Wright
>Making an international embarrassment of your country on the world's most popular TV show
You Argies sure showed them.
Jason Anderson
are there some compilations of Tay
Austin Davis
I wonder how much his firing was to do with the actual punching, and how much to do with him going around bad mouthing the BBC while he was suspended.
Jeremiah Wilson
It's like 1984.
They are LITERALLY trying to rewrite history in order to appeal to the PC and SJW demographic.
BUY OLD HISTORY BOOKS GUYS, BECAUSE IN A FEW DECADES HISTORY WILL HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN TO INCLUDE BLACKS AND OTHER MINORITIES.
Carter Flores
If you watch the episode, it was quite positive about Argentina until the whole country went and sperged out over a license plate.
Anthony Myers
Planet Earth in its modern form has been long predicted by The Onion. You didn't actually believe they're satire, did you?
Camden Sanchez
They could have just turned it into what it was before Clarkson, a car reviewing show with some genuine experts. A motoring journalist, a racing driver, a sales expert and an engineer.
At no point did anyone ever admit "we aren't as funny as those three" so they tried to do the same thing and failed.
Dylan Evans
This is run of the mill in the US, but if I remember right it is unusual for the UK right?
Benjamin Butler
It was an excuse to do it. They wanted to get rid of him anyway I would reckon. Some guy probably had an entire blueprint of a new improved Top Gear in his desk drawer.
Angel Wilson
>but if I remember right it is unusual for the UK right?
Yeah we actually try to make our programs funny when they have live audiences.
Sebastian Martinez
Legally they had to fire him over assaulting another employee.
Grayson White
Hasn't every other country's imitation of Top Gear failed? I think the American one was the most successful since it's entirely just shenanigans instead of being about cars.
Jace Wright
They didn't legally have to at all; more of a principal.
Lucas Miller
yeah no shit, i would watch it too just to see how badly they fucked up
i bet a decent amount of viewers flipped channels during first commercial break and didnt come back
