I don't see the appeal of this show. It seems writen in a real gimmicky manner.
I wonder what episodes you have seen to form that opinion? Maybe you should give it a go at watching a bit more of it - it's a very successful show with mass appeal. I think it is funny as fook.
I know a lot of the humour is very dry and sarcastic. Sarcasm, is the lowest form of wit - so they say. I live in longbridge, proud builders of some of the worlds worst motor cars. I used to know lots of people who worked on the track - they used to plug holes with bubble gum, use blue tack instead of filler - churning out the very poorest built cars!! Sarcasm, therefore, really is the only form of wit.
Clarkson and his gang could deliver an entertaining show even if it wasn't about motor cars! But here is the main reason for it's success - it does what it says on the can - it gives us the low down on cars, all types of cars, in a very entertaining way. It doesn't just deliver the 'tech' stuff which is maybe what a lot of 'tech minded' folks want. I want to see the hilarious antics they
get upto.
I am gonna dig up some of the best ones - i reckon you will find them funny
