Ugly Trucks and Monster Truck in Texas - Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld - BBC

[douchechillum]

The first guy is awesome, I'd love to have a beer with him. I'll bet he's got some epic stories, and you know he can play a mean blues guitar.

[TheTardis157]

1300HP? I could get that out of a supra.

[JSHuiting]

@TheTardis157 Hahaha, yeah. Probably. But you wouldn't get close on how many torque these trucks have.

[AdmiralGilgamesh]

That is one awesome dude.

[Projective]

I acctually cried a little when i saw bigfoot jumping, brings back memories when i was growing up watch monster trucks, Carolina krusher, bigfoot, snakebite, rampage, Samson etc.. the classis, not '' Maximum Destruction '' or any other gay monster truck.. At least it good to see Grave digger still be running even to this day, what happend to the PENDA series monster trucks.. i miss them =(

[jraftb]

@Projective man all those names bring back memories, my dads friend pat suma drives the thrasher truck, and we get tickets all the time, but its not the same, with these fake body trucks lol

[0fg4]

Is this Bobby Singer?

[PERAGR0]

Fuck Clarkson, learn to shift

[killuminati070]

@PERAGR0 fuck you and yo mamma

[PERAGR0]

@killuminati070 < Euro fanboy

[D13fledermause]

Us Americans are crazy, and I love it!

[unairadm]

i want that first truck

[ElTexas454]

That first truck is actually pretty badass.

[vylet271]

What a cool beard guy. He's right about ugly. I even went back and paused it on his truck at least 3 or 4 times before I remembered that's exactly what he said about it. I did not pause on the Bigfoot. Crazy.

[derky090]

i wanna see a aero dynamic carwith that engine in it and test dirive it

[Thedeoradude]

i want to see clarkson in a modern PEI truck, that old bigfoot was cantaleaver, not near the modern monster truck. we just need to shake off the redneck stigma that's stuck around since the eighties.

i think clarkson would have a blast in avenger, mabye digger or max-d. that'd be a whole top gear episode, the lads follow the Kohler camp around.

i'd pay for that.

[RudeComment]

poor little sissy English boys so jealous of the U.S. and its uniqueness,,lol

[frankisfunny2007]

is it still his favorite? (the monster truck)

[timerider4]

How old is this clip? He has an afro...

A gallon of fuel for 300 yards? Holy crap.

[joe23ba]

we texans are better in every god damn way

[rubberwoody]

more hp than a veyron

[MastrOfPuppets69]

Texans are idiots lol

[TexDad1971]

@MastrOfPuppets69 ooooh, I'm telling Vinnie Paul what you said.

[laParka777]

@MastrOfPuppets69 i would respond to you sir, Only Idiots call others Idiots, but then id be just like you...god forbid that. Sincearly, Proud Texan.

[krippkillaa]

@MastrOfPuppets69 your a idiot.

[MastrOfPuppets69]

@krippkillaa Are you sure it isn't "your AN idiot"? ;) I love being right hahahahaha

[cityofwhat]

@MastrOfPuppets69 Are you sure it isn't "You'RE AN idiot" ;) Third time's the charm. 

[markjamesmelrose]

Lol love how people miss point of British humour. The point is that it's something you shouldn't really say but is funny for how on the edge it is, and the things said aren't meant. I take the piss extensively out of the French but i don't hate them. Crazy yanks :P

[yajo891]

jeremy's afro! hahaha

[yurismir1]

How can you hate the guy at the beginning?

[TheMayb3]

gotta love america and our trucks

[320005397]

look at the signs in the background from 5:02 on! LoL

[caaarrrnuttt]

im gonna kill king arthur!

[doomzday5]

I don't care if other peon counties hate on the US cause they are just peons and that is all they will ever be

[Narutofan1000k]

is it wrong that i want that truck?

[dunti21]

"I don't know more about that world than others, but we're better" And people complain that Jeremy is racist. This guy just said that the rest of the world is inferior to Texas. Does it need more explaining?

[Oldbmwr100rs]

@dunti21 Welcome to Texas humor. Texas,it a whole other world!

And I do see the attraction to beat up old trucks, they're great to have,You always need a truck sometime, and one that won't look any worse after hard use is fine with me. Besides,something like that isn't worth anything to sell but worth so much to keep!

[hairmonster12]

Isn't that Dusty Hill from ZZ Top?

[StonerSimpson99]

i like the truck

[BALJIT147]

for all the people saying he hates america, he does have a dodge challenger

[w3t8ack90]

TEXAS!!!!



[DJprofessork72]

Sort of sounds like Seasick Steve

[eene9]

that mullet was painful...

[expostfactum]

He needs to learn how to change gears.

[samuraiwarrior1988]

this is an american car not an european spaceship car !!!

[studhorse1124]

I liked the old hill billy, i liked his style. As for Jeremy, he's rascist as hell against us Americans but he is entertaining.

[SuperRobbie1976]

that first truck is a beast. I LOVE IT.

[NoSteroidz]

what a fag at the end of the video!... he is better than nobody! haha

[Blackingoutt]

holy shit you guys take shit way too serious, like honest to God.

It's pathetic.

[TheIrishHammer6969]

texans are better my ass...

[krypto526]

is he homeless

[james86d]

they some smooth tyres!

[jkltg60]

its a beauty

[jdog942]

You gotta love rednecks.

[gilzineto]

Stupid redneck at the end!

[skatethehouse999]

the first truck is a real man truck, no fancy stuff just a plain truck for a workin man!!!! yeah!!!

[Narutofan1000k]

I want to see clarkson in a top fuel dragster or a pro modified dragcar

[nejckra]

I am wondering who and how got the idea to build a monster truck?

[ThaMythbuster]

@nejckra I think I read somewhere that Grave Digger was actually one of the first actual monster trucks, used to be called "Mud Bogger" or something and back then it was based on a normal 1950's Chevy Panel Van. The GD name came from "I'll take this old junk and dig you a grave with it", which the owner said to fellow racers... Then again, in 1970's mud bogging trucks first came around so...

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

texans, better than other people....you know what ill let that one slide

[deriso1234]

im from Texas and yes i do think we are all a bungch of badasses

[tallzdatank]

i hate texas. "we're better than other people" yea my ass. what makes you better? i grew up in the owyhee desert in idaho, average summer temps of anywhere between 90-120 degrees all summer long. and now i live in butte mt. where it gets below -30 quite often and snows several feet a year. lets not forget about the 6,000 ft elevation. what makes anything about texas better than me? im not saying im better than anybody just wondering why texas thinks they're better

[enjoipandas]

@tallzdatank i dont think its the temperatures. its the fact that you're from the north where everyones a fucking douche.

[tallzdatank]

@enjoipandas oh yea? everyone in the north is a douche? honestly dude? have you ever even been to montana?

[enjoipandas]

@tallzdatank of all the states to visit, why would i go to montana and try and interact with the whole 35 people that live there?

[Jared1452]

@enjoipandas Have you ever been to Pennslyvania? Not many Douches around here.

[Taureg96]

I like how he says you could mess up someones lawn pretty well.

[bolanos333333]

Stupid Jeremias, pinche estúpido ! tipco Ingles desabrido

[hemiisbest]

what have the british got? ford transit van, fucking dreadful noisy rattling diesel shit

[gumper1986]

I sure hope the whole world doesn't perceive all of America to be like this.

[MrRiko3407]

they will...

[itsmefarting]

look like zztop

[18dotson]

i agree with the old man at the end

[anthonystuart69]

I bet he'd love a modern truck like gravedigger or maximum destruction even more, with the rear steer and everything

[gburg7]

Jeremy is an entertainer. He doesn't think everything British is perfect, nor does he hate all things American or German, or French for that matter. He is using generalizations as humor, and it works- beautifully.

[FLAME4564]

@gburg7 really? hmmm

i wonder what he would think about australian? 

[Three1Bravo]

@gburg7 I am American and Jeremy cracks me up. His jokes are all in good fun. Besides, whenever he has an American guest on the show, he kisses their ass haha. Jeremy is the man.

[Basketball470]

@gburg7 know it all fag

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

2:49 I drive the same car in the 1NSANE PC racing game :)

[redreaper2020]

that first guy, he looks like the guy from K&B construction, from Home Improvement. He also looks like a welder I worked with a few times.

I've driven some ugly trucks like that one...you learn to love 'em. :D

[Lackesse]

like the guy with Chevy, such a great man..Bigfoot is awesome and the guy in the end? No comment......

[13owlets]

Jeremy Clarkson & Bigfoot - never photographed at the same time - coincidence? ........

[selfsenter]

that texan at the end looks like the dude from little britain lol

[boxpenguin]

this texan is ashamed of the texas gentleman at the end. yes, we probably have more state pride than most people, but that man just gives us a bad name.

[ottodob]

fuck the texan at the end

[RunningTheRiot]

Lol i ove young Clarckson's haircut

[ExtremeBogom]

Loving this Texan, he's awesome.

[TheWatzitooya]

Does Britain even have any monster trucks? You'd think there's be at least one.

[Tazman91291]

@TheWatzitooya a behemoth truck on a tiny island? Bigfoot would be renamed Godzilla. :P

[dalesalsa]

I knew he would like the Big Foot... who wouldn't...?

[JoshuaBaldwinBrown]

what is 13 hundred written on number? lol

[Nickbusta29]

I hate Texas

[Dwarmin]

@Nickbusta29 I do too, and I live there. 

[varer]

TWO HEADED BABY

[valereydyachuk]

What Jeremy doesn't realize is that he's actually talking with someone we here in America call a BUM.

[soobwhale]

@valereydyachuk Why is he a bum? Because he has a beat up Chevy?

[abergethirty]

@valereydyachuk Strange how some people define a bum as someone owns a crappy truck and house. I always thought a bum was a homeless person who only owns the rags on his back.

[thefarmfred1]

truck at the beginning is cool, it's like the old timers say, "there's nothing like a beat up old Chevrolet"

[swanseajackthe3rd]

I've been stood about 10 feet away from one of those monster trucks going full tilt and it knocks you for six. I cud feel the vibrations going thru me and the noise was deafening. Fuck knows whats its like in the cab :-/

[xPolarGamingx]

that truck in the beginning is beautiful, i don't care what anyone says

[xPolarGamingx]

wow that guy thinks 1,300 horsepower is the most powerful engine in the universe? i can name 10 vehicles off the top of my head that have more horsepower and some of which are street legal

[NotanAmericanIdiot13]

@xPolarGamingx well if you didnt notice, that was probably from the 80s or 90s before those cars existed

[xPolarGamingx]

@NotanAmericanIdiot13 my bad, you're right

[hxcmexi]

@xPolarGamingx

I think you're the dumb one here. This was years ago before Bugatti Veyron ever existed! You need to learn little kid. hahahaha This is an old video!!

[xPolarGamingx]

@hxcmexi okay first of all, i got that same responce from someone already, secondly don't call me a little kid, that's immature on you're part and you're just making fun of yourself on that one calling people names over the internet to make yourself feel better? and yeah i do say you are right, i didn't take the age of the video into consideration, so i apoligize

[hxcmexi]

@hxcmexi

i never called you a name. either way you posted a dumb comment.

[MiRaGe44k]

@xPolarGamingx well unless your unaware this is 20 years old so an engine that big, in those days was amazing!!

[xPolarGamingx]

@MiRaGe44k yeah i didn't think of the age of the video mate, i'm sure it was a great sight to see back then as it still is a great sight to see today

[IwasBen]

damn JC was young ... and not fat there ...

[spinlessbastard1]

some how i dont think that guy would be your "OVERHAULIN" type

[omgnumbersandletters]

POWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fisheye300]

Correction it sounds like he did say badder, which would make sense :)

[fisheye300]

Woo good ol Texas! But that old fart at the end made us look like dicks when he said we're better than other people, thats just not cool:(

[jamschnitter]

I bet that truck consumes less energy in it's life than a prius would.

[188043]

The end of that was really embarassing. I'm was born in central New York (not the city) and raised in Houston, and i have never met a Texan who makes me more ashamed to live in Texas. That guy did not deserve to have those words come out of his mouth.

[153mileyfan]

@188043

That's cause you were raised in the city. Try going out to the small towns in Texas. Everyone talks like that, and they can back it up too.

[188043]

@153mileyfan I have been to the smalls towns of Texas. Yes, we have plenty of hicks in Texas with a super thick Texan accent, but that guy was still horribly embarassing.

[EddieTheFishReturns]

That truck has got some real character. I would prefer to call it "trusty".

[snelpiller]

hahaha he got great handwriting! that was funny to me, mine looks like horrible

[tokeNRez]

and thats why the rest of the world hates america cuz of Texans

[whiteynator]

I wonder if he ever showers... he seems to be a nice guy though :)

[hawksleyart01]

Clarkson is so two faced. He nationaly slags off Americans but he always enjoys himself there, and seems to love alot of the cars whilst he's there....or maybe as he's got older, he's got more bitter and twisted.

I mean, how can you bash someone like that old Hillbilie with the Chevy truck. He seems like a real nice guy.

[Ebbeboy]

@hawksleyart01 I agree with you. But a lot of Europeans seem to have that US-bipolar thing going on. They would like to hate everything american, but once they go there, they turn out to enjoy it.

[roundtr1p]

@Ebbeboy Nobody hates America. Clarkson pretends to hate it just for TV it makes "good viewing". I've been America twice, not "the greatest country in the world" like you all to seem think but its no doubt a great country.

[ExtremeBogom]

@hawksleyart01

Yeah that's very true.

Then again, Clarkson complains about most things :p

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

@hawksleyart01 He generally dislikes American cars. And I think that Top Gear episode with rednecks didn't help a bit.

[anthonystuart69]

@hawksleyart01 jeremy clarkson bashes *everything*, not just america

[hawksleyart01]

@anthonystuart69 ....I know he, but he does it to the US more. On the other hand , he seems to like it there because it's the country he seems to visit the most in top gear and his spin off shows.

[pipmdirector]

@hawksleyart01 eh british people slag off americans all the time. its a joke as old as the country itself its nothing personal. Same way americans slag off mexicans, or british, or africans, or any other stereotype.

[BOXFRESH99]

@pipmdirector fucking yanks think they're perfect.

[CRF150EXPERT]

@pipmdirector we dont necessarily slag off brits, but mexicans definitely, and africans, yes but you better be careful who you say it to. Some moron might call you a racist and try to press charges to get a handout instead of going to work and earning their money themselves

[3DPeter]

@pipmdirector

I'm from holland, and we also make fun of our neighbours like belgium and germany. We say that the belgiums are rejected dutch people, and we say to germans that their grandfathers should finaly return the bikes they stole in the war, and stop invading our beaches each summer, but we don't hate eachother, it's just humor. Also the brits have a great tv show that is called "london calling" Also known as "allo allo" and the british actors make fun of germans, french and themselves.

[Pinin500]

@hawksleyart01 ; Clarkson speaks on behalf of the majority of Europeans...

[ArcolaBridge]

@hawksleyart01 Not just that but when he did one of his shows here in USA he raced a land rover to the top of a peak and instead of using the American equivalent to the land rover (JEEP Cherokee or Laredo or ford) he used a escalade and a suburban... Neither of which is a real off road vehicle, so he can bash on us all he wants but we know whats up. The JEEP Cherokee or Laredo would own the land rover... :(

[Robster881]

@hawksleyart01 it's called being entertaining. He doesn't mean all of the things he's saying, he's just doing his job and making people laugh.

[robertceeisblazin]

@hawksleyart01 how can he bash him? he's american thats how

[andyzdbest123456789]

@hawksleyart01 I think you take him a little too seriously

[SeeProfileForDetails]

ain'ts they is gonna hadded thy trailer hitches

[rcdrvrrc7]

@hawksleyart01 I didn't see anywhere in the video where he insults the man. Watched it several times to make sure I didn't miss anything, just sounded like a couple guys talking to me.

[95115964]

no no no no no

[crunchem7399]

who cares about the fuel efficiency of a monster truck?  idiot

[tylerzap]

i gotta 1979 Chevy Silverado, All-Time 4x4 with Lockers, And a 350 Small block... and its 100% stock :)

[edd55r]

Love Clarkson's comment "there is a substitute for cubic inches cubic feet"

[OIFbaqubah]

American power 1:23 :D

[nickmorganmusic]

i dont think he ment lager as in actual size. haha

[1234567890moomoo]

Jeremy driving a monster truck.

What a majestic sight. XD

[shcnoozlebop]

wtf? you'd have to be so isolated from the rest of the world to think texans are better than everyone else.... in australia, texan men are stereotyped as sleazy perverts and the women trashy. it's deffinately not fair to judge all texans like that, but stereotypes have to come from somewhere and at least have a part-truth. so i wouldn't say texans are "better than other people."

[surredneck66]

@shcnoozlebop do realize that you just told everybody that your opion was based an a stereotype? good argument :)

[RadoDani]

"badder" or "better" … it sounds the same with Texas accent … this could cause some serious misunderstanding … little innocent mischievous boasting can be easily mistaken for Texas flavoured ignorance … though i presume he said "badder" …. :)

[lolahavasuaz]

i'll bet that old chevy truck owner has worn that same hat since H.S.

omg ... you can tell it was to small also so he just split it , then opened up the

adjustment snaps .. lol

[wyftw520]

nice truck

[lightssmith]

Hahah. Here in marana, arizona, those ugly trucks and hillbilly people are all-too-common. I know several people like that. :P Great people to be around though.

[ScottXC91]

As an American, I love to humor these stereotypes, but they really are rare.

[tecsplicing]

im american and i have never laid eyes on these people

[MyNameIsBucket]

As much as Clarkson pretends to hate everything US, somehow I knew he'd love Bigfoot.

[scottsommers07]

@MyNameIsBucket he even bought a GT 50

[MyNameIsBucket]

@scottsommers07 To be fair, the Ford GT was complete shit.

[JupiterJazzjaa2]

@MyNameIsBucket Everyone loves bigfoot.

[Armaangandevia1]

i like tht truck

[BundSama]

God I miss Bigfoot.

[Projective]

@BundSama Me too :(

[kc958]

Epic Beard Man's Dad

[blbblblbl]

at least his hand writing writing is really good

[TheLzeppelin68]

damn I wanna go to the u.s. and texas most of all. You have nice weather (not cold at least) nice people, tons of steak, hot girls, Lucky Strike, Jack Daniels, Pick Up's, Family Guy superdevil and a lot of stories like that mister with the chevy.

[amerintex]

@TheLzeppelin68 hello yes im a native texan, your welcome to come anytime! I promise you will love it. where do you live?

[TheLzeppelin68]

@amerintex uuuhh Chile, not so near but our flag is just like yours! haha thank you I really wanna go there. Hope one day I have the chance.

[AlfieWilRus]

I seriously bet that guy stinks very very bad.

[fairyheli2]

@Bodhizzle Texas... America's Yorkshire

[dukeboy11134]

@Bodhizzle he might have said badder, but i cant actually tell with his accent 

[xbigntastyx]

@Bodhizzle He said "badder"
