  • Too funny. Yes I do believe they are mating with vegetables down there..... and farm animals...... and fence posts.

  • thats fucking scary, I don't care if canada is cold I'm glad to be frozen rather then some fucking redneck loser

    I like having teeth

  • 6:06 BEST LINE EVER...SO TRUE....Rednecks SUXXXXXXXXXX

  • hey

    tduassassin, FUCK YOU. I'm from Alabama. The South is the best place to live. We're not from the north so we're not stuck up, we're not from the east so we're not gueedos, and we're not from the west so we're not worthless. Just good ole Southern Hospitality.

  • Stupid american, you're probably fat as well that's why everybody needs a pick up truck in the south, ignorant bastards

  • Come to think of it, why didn't we let the south secede?

  • BAHAHHAHHA. I live in the north of the US and I'm terrified of going to the a lot of the places in the South.

  • Us British do this for fun! its called British Humure and you Americans dont understand that thats why the woman in the petrol station (Gas station for Americans) went mad because no1 Shes an idiot n02 she dosent understand.

  • i live in the U.S. in california by laguna seca and im utterly embarrassed by the entire south. NASCAR is retarded and i only watch F1, lemans, and rally.

    so before you bash all of the U.S. come see california where you can go to a dealer and stand next to two veyrons

  • Why are you americans whining?

    You've allways been so ridiculus. You name yourself 'Land of the free' 'Land of the brave' and it goes on, and on, and on. Of course people make a bit fun of you when you have that high thoughts about your country. Americans make fun of europe all day long and be honest. If this was an ameircan show about England you would say they should be able to take a joke. Get over this! They are nice people. Just see how they donated their cars to the poor people

  • I hear there are relatively a lot of WASPs in the south. So I think the place would be cozy for those Britons if they don't try to provoke the local people. An assistant language teacher who was an English man told me that southern accent was relatively similar to British accent when I was a high school student.

  • New Orleans is a sad testament to our failing commitment to governmental performance. It should have been an excuse to gut FEMA and start an adhocracy (temporary agency for a single purpose) composed of distribution execs from regional retailers. They fix it, send the Pres the expenses, he goes to Congress with a retroactive funding bill, passage, and youre done. That, however, would require strong Congressmen willing to stand up to public sector unions.

  • i never ever thought that the yanks would behave like this ,this is amazing footage i think we should nuke them rednecks agreed?

  • theyre technically not 'yanks' ;) 'Rebels' from, you know, the CSA lol but hey...I'd like to see them insult things important to those in inner cities ;)

  • @corecrusher yep we should

  • How they can sleep? Well they don't have a social system...

  • Yeah, we do lol Galveston, Texas cleaned itself up real fast...with heavy reforms and a loan. New Orleans was running a municipal ponzi scheme and ran its credit dry...when Katrina hit, they refused to reform...thus their property tax base left. If a city doesnt want to help itself, why would the rest of us want to help?

  • this is pure comedy...definitely worth a look.

    /watch?v=8UcFO9OEd-U

  • Trolling on a massive scale.

  • thank god i live in new york

  • Wow, I would be emberrased if I had people like that in mine country!! shit

  • I really do have to admit. This intrigues me. Not so much the actual movie but people's reaction to it. Everybody is so mad at each other. I don't really see why this should cause so much anger. I mean, so they made fun of us. That's what comedy is people making fun of each other.

    No we are not perfect, no country or person is. Why freak out so much when somebody who doesn't live here points that out? We already know it.

  • No we do not breed with vegetables. that insult does not even make sense.

    Why accuse each others country of being worse when we all have our good parts and bad parts.

    At any rate I don't think we can be all that horrid when we have a ton of mexicans trying to get up here both legally and illegally.

    I put a comment on earlier saying I don't think many europeans can put a muffler ina car with only bailing wire.I got like a -9 rating. Why can you? why didn't you just say so?

    This is interesting.

  • yes but your bad parts are very very very very very very extreme.

    those people are totally fucked up

  • I'm pretty dang sure there are a lot of other extreme people other places in the world. What I'm just fascinated about is why everybody's so vicious about insulting and defending each other

  • i second that, its really sad to see people such as that. This country is sinking faster than the titanic.

  • Yup we sleep with our sisters :3

  • the vegetable statement is referring to the term used to describe people who cant think, due to sheer stupidity or medical reasons. When Jeremy said that he is referring to Americans being dumb, and getting dumber every generation. Which is a reality that is truly sad to see, since i am an American. Oh and for a heads up you cant bread with something, you mate with it.

  • O lol. That makes a lot more sense. And I'm sorry about my rotten grammar skills. lol. Never been good at it.

  • "Southern Hospitality" doesn't quite come to mind.. Glad I live in Pennsylvania. I hate people who are like that. Who cares if someone's different than you. Really.

  • lol .. Amazing how american ppl can be .. they dont know whats going on, they hit and ask after.. I would never live in a country like that .. too many crazy ppl that just go nuts over nothing..

  • Remind me never to go to Alabama.

  • It looks like some people can't even use our launguage right; and still have the gut's to call it English.

  • Good example of the problems in America, Not only their ignorance and lack of humour but the Hurricane damage, where its been 12 months and look at it. America may be the Wealthiest country, but only a small percentage of the people in America get to have a share of that wealth.

    Oh and Top Gear is awesome.

  • actually the per capita income for the USA is $48,000 and the per capita income for the UK is $35,000 so technically we have a larger middle-class where as in the UK socialist policies has made the middle class smaller and weaker. just think what would margaret thatcher do?

  • This is true. The top 400 income earners in American equal the bottom 150 million in terms of income earned per year. After you get over the initial shock of that, it's pretty damn funny. So there goes your humour/humor theory. I always hear maybe 3-5 reasons people dislike America. There are way more reasons to like it, I guarantee you. Call us ignorant if you want but despising a country based on very few factors seems to me the very definition of the word.

  • Blame the government, not the people. I live in PA and I hate the 8 years that redneck was running the country. I swear his IQ was well below 3 digits.

  • Are you all retarded? How the hell are they being ignorant. Your the ones being ignorant? Do you even know what the definition of that word is? You can't be ignorant without something to tolerate. The red-necks are the one's, who are not tolerating, therefore they are the ignorant ones.

    It's not the BBC's fault that impression was left on America. In fact it's the fault of the populace for giving that distinct cultural illustration.

  • Not all rednecks are like that, thank you. I happen to be related to some very nice "rednecks" as you would say. Those that we just saw were some seriously in-tolerating people who were provoked. Don't judge all "rednecks" because you saw some bad ones in a video on You Tube.

  • I'm not judging all rednecks from this video. Did I say that? No. I said that they are leaving a bad impressionable state on Alabama's redneck culture.

    The same principle can be applied with the whole all British have yellow teeth, LOVE crumpets, and drink tea. It's all bullshit.

    I did not criticize every redneck going; yet the video falls into the stereotypical catagory of redneck America. Nor do I judge every person as an individual based on these stereotypes.

    That'd just be plain mean!

  • Sorry, I know your not judging them. I was talking to all the people who left comment like, "Remind me to never go to Alabama." and rednecks are dumb and ignorant, comments. Not you, I know you don't think like that.

  • u guys gott summ balls lol thatt wass so funny

  • they have guts!

  • I'm so ashamed to live in Alabama <3

  • what the song playing?

  • Lmao, all the americans getting upset. Hilarious.

  • well its Alabama, what did you expect? Go to San Fransisco in those cars and you would blend in.

  • how would you like it if we went to the UK and generalized the whole population by the action of a few people?

  • Couldn't give a shit less.

  • 6:00 - 6:10 Hillarious!

    i can't believe the lady got mad because the wrote: NASCAR Sucks!

    but the funniest was defenetly: Manlove Rules ok XD

  • It's really scary how some people just doesnt have any humour.

    I can understand that they got upset and verbally expressing that... But to start throwing rocks or worse is just wrong!

    Im not blaming all Americans or all people in Alabama or anything. Every country or area has very conservative people. And I find it very scary and sad that they can turn to violence so quickly.

  • Maybe I'm not fully understanding the premise of this show, but as a Mobilian I find this incredibly offensive. We are not all "bible bashing, short hair, communist-haters." We do have our extremists (such as the people at the gas station) but that is by far not the norm here and I resent us being painted as such. If someone had made an identical show about Americans trying to survive the UK in the same manner, we'd be deemed "Ugly Americans" and would be bashed for being uncultured rednecks.

  • i so like to watch this how eazy for nothing they got pised

  • I really liked Top Gear but then this time they gone over the line in America. They have to accept the fact that they are to ignorant to Americans and i dunno Morris Marinas?

  • @shae6644clark Fuck you.

  • Lived down south and all that is the truth especially the small towns!

  • If you look for bad areas in the United States, you'll find them. However, the same is true for every country in the world.

  • It just seems that the US has many...Many more of these areas

  • Of course we do. Our population is 3 and a half times larger than Germany and 5 times larger than the UK.

  • Greatest show on Earth.

  • I'll do you one better. Can you imagine what would have happened if they were minorities?

  • Wich season is it?

  • 9 episode 3

  • That wil "teach" you... Jeeez!

  • that is not how all Americans act and i am sadden that people like that egsist in this country and are government doesnt prioritizes things for the people just for there political agenda

  • Thanks bbc for making all the people in Alabama look like rednecks. I live in Auburn Alabama and am not a redneck. Wtf am not a redneck and i live in Alabama guess i should move.

  • I from Alabama and I can't wait to leave by state I'm also a liberal agnostic

    Thay shot there sign what are they going to do to us. HAHAHA

    The New Orlens part made me sad. I love they gave away the cars.Thanks from Amerca!

  • hehe yea it's good that they gave away the cars but why are they getting defendant for helping.....

  • at 4:38 is said oh no they're gonna die!!!

  • what is the name of the song at the end?its from a movie.

  • Mogwai - Auto Rock. And yes, it plays at the end of Miami Vice. The movie, obviously.

  • Lmfao Jezza 6:01 - " They really do have an Irony Deficiancy, I Honestly believe that in certain parts of America now, People hav started to Mate with Vegetables !", - swear de tings he comes out wit are Hilarious, im cryin laughin hehe ! :D

  • Fukin Hilarious, yanks hav no sense of Humor,funniest ting i ever saw lol - and even wen dey try be nice and giv de cars away te de homeless of hurricane Katrina, 1 of de ppl try te sue him dat de cars not gud enuf !!! Love Jezza,Hamster n Captain Slow, de best show on t.v. :D

  • Alabama. I'm not impressed. You should have caught these English and dealt with them "southern style'. A demo of the state's electric chair would have been nice.

  • dount they could show that on national TV... sorry + there all famous so they'll have lawyers and its for entertainment

  • it was on a few nights ago

  • im suprised they didnt get shot

  • I would love to see what would happen to a car in Manchester that had I LOVE CHELSEA written on it. I guarantee that it would be scarier than that little staged gas station exchange.

  • nar they'd hav to do that jsut after chelsea beats man u

  • Id like te see a car wit "I Love Glasgow Ranger's" drivin round North Dublin ! And de Gas Station Wasnt staged, fukin classic t.v. :D

  • Hilarious, just as long as Europeans realize that's like touring Europe by way of gypsy camps. Those people are such an embarrassment.

  • good episode though i feel like a skynyrd soundtrack would have made it better

  • well here we joke about every body... just because we can.... and i would have drivin james' car

  • I live in Alabama and I love Top Gear. It's true; there are places like this in my state. However, it's in the minority most definitely. That being said, I loved this episode.

    The ONE thing that bugged me was the whole "getting chased" part. Where they had to turn ALL the cameras off inexplicably. Why would they do that? That would be EPIC footage, no cameraman would forfeit that. Plus, each car has several cameras rolling onboard. Not ONE of them was taping? I find that hard to believe.

  • Those cameras are expensive... think about what would happen if a rock so happened to hit one, would it be worth seeing a rock flying at the screen? Probably not.

  • My point was that the cameras WERE out and running during the rock throwing, but the second they got into the safety of the van, they turned them off. They could have kept running.

    Not only that, but this doesn't account for the countless cameras all over each car that happened to be turned off right when the "rocks" were thrown. Also, if you notice, the redneck "yelling" as they were running away sounds post-processed and has a bizarre reverb on it like it was added later.

  • Im an Aussie, but america sucks. You guys are so dumb are ignorant its amazing, Look at this video alone, you guys cant even take a joke. bloody rednecks

  • What the hell are you talking about, you know nothing if that is what you think.

  • whats the music which starts at 6:11 ?

  • bloody rednecks zzz

  • What happend to the road kill challange

  • they should go to iraq with signs that say "arabs suck" or "USA all day" that would be entertaining

  • Not a good idea.

  • lol. Now that would be funny.

  • the only person who didn't do anything was the black guy, lol

  • WHAT THE FUCK!?!

    Seriously, this is really sick, like in a bad movie 0_o.

    WTF is it of their concern if someone writes something on HIS car!?

    I mean they didn't write "hitler" or so... Daaamn! How sick are those rednecks, are they all retarded?

    Sorry, but this is just too sick. Of course the gasstation lady could have just said she wouldn't serve them, it's her shop. But calling these ppl?! WTF!? Are there ppl like this who jsut sit around all day and wait till they can beat someone up!?!

  • that is ki9nda bad lol random rednecks on call just to pummle people

  • There was a lot edited out and I am sure the film crew are not innocent. It wouldn't make a good show for them if nothing entertaining happened. Ive been there many times, its not like that at all. Look around long enough and "poke" at the right people and you'll get that reaction. You have the same in your country I am sure.

  • Not in the same scale as this.

  • I wouldn't offer them violence, no. I'm better than that.

  • No. If I saw people driving through my area with cars like that, designed to poke fun at my customs, I would laugh my ass off, take photographs and show them to my friends...who would also laugh.

  • that part of america is really in the stone age.

  • What is the song thats starts playing at 3:00

  • What's the song which starts at 6:13?

  • Gypsys Tramps And Thieves- cher

  • Looks like they were driving through Chernobyl at the end xD

  • seem like it

  • Whats it say on jeremys car?

  • what song is playing when they come to louisana?

  • think it's Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise - from the movie 1492.

  • you that song at 0:55? sounds like the canturbury rugby theme song...

    Im from New Zealand

  • fucking american inbreads thats just pathetic

  • Alabama, not really

  • "I honestly believe that in certain parts of America now, people have begun to mate with vegtebles" lol too true

  • The song that starts at 00.55? Anyone?

  • Conquest of paradise- Vangelis

  • That town looked like it has fallen prey to the T virus.

  • Alabama is in a different country as far as I'm concerned.

  • guys in whole Poland we have the same problem like them in Alabama, so i advice you do try do it :/

  • anyone know the song at 6.30?

    thanks

  • stupid Christian red necks

  • DAMN, the town looked like it was straight out of the fifties. Never been that terrified watching a lifestyle program.

  • What sucks is that they went through probably the worst part of the country. I drove through it ONCE...I will never go there again. But it was nice they didnt destroy the cars and instead gave them to people that really needed them.

  • I'd say detroit is the worst, although i've never been there.

  • look's like the rest of the states could take a few pointers from the good citizens of Alabama!

  • Jeremy Clarkson has been to Iraq and he said he felt safer there than he did driving through Alabama.

  • one statement is true, Nascar's fuckin shit.

  • The best thing about America is that it's 3,000 miles away. And they speak English,

  • This is one of best ever Challenges on Top Gear!

    Does anyone know the name of the song which starts playing at 9:40?

    I think it's great.

  • Go to hell rednecks!

  • What they did would be like going to Norfolk and telling a group of chavs that British beer sucks.

  • i'm calling the boys

  • Ah gotta love thick dumbasses from south eh

  • actually, i think australia, has much better living standards than america.

  • no that's not true, the usa's GDP per capita is about $8000 more than australia's...

  • You're equating GDP to living standards. But what good is a high GDP if you have crappy schools, crappy sewers, crappy roads, crappy health, etc.?

  • but we don't have crappy schools, crappy sewers, crappy roads, or crappy healthcare...might not be the best but ceratinly can't be described as crappy

  • @pem82sox

    That's not what i'm saying.

    I was saying that GDP isn't the measurements for quality of life and was giving examples to explain my point.

    If you had proper education instead of misplaced nationalism you would understand this ;)

  • What country do you live in? All of that stuff is crappy here.

  • ahhhhh the world is just one big happy place isn't it? We all love each other.

  • top gear is awsome! i love it

  • lol it is a but stereotypical cuz not all amercians are like this (btw im canadian so im not defending anyone :P) but clearly people like that exist. they were right there in the video XD

  • this is not funny, i think... but i just live in portugal...stupid redneck yankees.

  • Can't believe the state of that housing estate, so long after Katrina and it is still like that, in what is meant to be the most powerful and wealthiest nation on the planet. Just goes to show that there is a massive difference between the haves and the have nots in the US. It looks like somewhere in the 3rd world!

  • anyone know the name of the song that starts at the end?

  • fucking rednecks

  • Newfound respect for May's sound effects.

  • Man i live in America.. NASCAR does fucking blow dick... or sucks.. i dont care those people were the trashiest pos ever... ive never seen that.

  • Hate rednecks, they are uncivilized people. The government must do something in order to get that kind of people cultured. Its not possible to see that kind of behavior on a developed country. California forever.

  • Wish James hadn't needed jumping they might have been able to get across the state with their artwork still on.

  • guy in the cadillac prob honestly fell in love w/ it. i had one i gotta say at interstate speeds that is one of the most comfortable vehicles around

  • Ok I'm gonna break the trend here and actually talk about the video and I think Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May running for their lives from narrowminded rednecks is absolutely hilarious :D

  • @Brezo18 idd. so funny. But kinda shows how ignorant some ppl in USA are.

  • Well done @ Brezo18 for breaking the trend and actually talking about the video instead of getting into dumb arguments. I crease myself every time watching this, seeing Jeremy, James and richard getting chased by narrowminded, dumb-as-fuck and ignorant rednecks pelting them with rocks because they don't like nascar (which is as dull as watching paint dry) or country and western. TOP GEAR RULES! :D

  • new orleans looks pretty nice. what ever happened to old orleans.

  • I understand why the Hicks went mad! But they just need to lighten up. If they did that in England there is CCTV everywhere and always police around so they couldnt get away with it. If Americans put Football is a gay sport, or Rugby is for losers or some shit you would get the haters. But in our country you would get people saying "yeah I agree" and laugh not throw rocks and chase them down or be offended like the people driving in this vid...

  • ROFL stupid yanks

  • Hi, anyone knows the name of the music that is playing at the minute 1:00? thanks

  • song is Vangelis - conquest of paradise

  • thank you a LOT :)

  • i think they are juz being patriotic

  • Love the show!!. This episode makes me never want to go to Alabama ever in my life.  It's discussing how they were acting & what they were doing. Though I've got no reason to leave California =)

  • I dont get offended from anything they say i find it very funny even though im from america

  • Err what?

  • "The US has never won a war by itself".

    Since that appears to matter SOOO much to you, let me mention the Mexican-American War (our westward expansion), and the Smanish-American War. You need to keep in mind that over the past couple of hundred years, countries typically HAVEN'T FOUGHT ANY wars alone; including yours. Before you try to use military victories as a measure of a country's worth, you should really learn the historical facts then look at your own country's recent acheivements.

  • No they have not. The Mexican war was ended with a treaty the Spanish war was ended by a treaty.And as recently as the 1980`s Britain sailed ALONE to the Falkland islands and routed the invading Argentine forces.Quite an achievement. So I suggest that you go and learn some facts because every single one that you just quoted was wrong

  • As far as the Mexican-American War, yes it did end in a treaty... one in which Mexico surrendered and gave up MUCH land!!! Much of the same can be said about the Spanish-American War; we gained islands in both the Carribean and the Pacific.

    With so much support being given to our British friends during WWI and WWII, SURELY you don't hang your hat on your country's victory in the Falklands... THE FALKLANDS!!! Ha!!! Yes, Quite a "war" indeed.

    Is that REALLY how you measure your worth?

  • Hang on a minute brains, all i said was that the usa has never won a war by themselves, you were the one that started banging on about your country`s fictitious military victories so it`s YOU ffs that is measuring your country`s worth with military victories, so you have been ownd again.Now go away and think about it, I`m obviously dealing with a retard and quite frankly you bore me to fucking death 1 word VIETNAM

  • Amazing how I bore you to death, yet you can't refrain from replying back. I've seen SEVERAL of your posts and I've noted that you can't help but to try to get the last word.

    You really think that I've been "owned"? LOL!!! OK, I can live with someone YouTuber claiming to "own" me.

    Vietnam? Surely you realize that the U.S. fought that war with their hands tied?

  • HERE ARE A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES THAT HAVE NEVER ONE A WAR ON THIER OWNFrance(i will agree that they played the key role in our independance from the tyranical superpower know as great britain but they didnt win thier revolution by themselves either), britain (lost to AMERICANS during our revolution), spain, austria, germany, && portugal to name a few have never won thier own wars

  • won not one, congrats on the american education system
