This documentary is actually a very positive portrayal of France. Sure Clarkson plays up the fact that the English do not stereotypically get on with the French, but it is obvious his maverick sensibilities would well-suit the laissez-faire attitude of the France.
The French gastronomy expert is truly that. If we were all able to follow his advice there would be fewer fat and unhealthy people than there are now.
And to those who claim that jeremy is a xenophobe, shut it. In this series all we see is his admiration for the way of life led by the people he meets in Europe.
I'm laughing at the people getting offended by J. Clarkson's "documentaries." IT'S JEREMY CLARKSON for God's sake! This "documentary" is supposed to be a joke. What idiot would take it seriously? Oh, wait...
@PenileDictum Except that it was supposed to provide an IMFORMATIVE guide to Europe and instead he just 'cherrypicked' certain things to fit his view/entertainment of it and 'idiots' may end up believing in him. So, if I wanted a more imformative source I'm inclinded to depend on Rick Steves, eventhough he's a American who lives in Seattle, Washington.
@unknownunknowns It's a country reviewing programme hosted by Jeremy Clarkson. How much more clear could you get. Lol. Everybody knows that Jeremy is a huge fan of Britain and not so much of every other country.
I dont understand why everyone is so offended by this... it shows the french in a positive light, at least from the british point of view... Yes we still consider france to be a rival, but its more of a friendly rivalry these days ;) like 2 brothers arguing lol
There are so many good things to eat in nearly every country of the world. Lets make a big circle and dance for peace... By the way I am German...who wantz to comment zis ant zay Heil... you know who?! CMon ...anyone?
@masteryoda394 we do not feel inferior at all the attitude in britain is split these days 50/50 one half feels superior and feels the effects of the empire pride and all our inventions/inovations the way the world follows in our past the other half have been corrupted by goverment to fear every1 and that we should all feel small as many people do now feelign immigrants are treated as superiors and stuff the country is going to the dogs and the EU is helping it along.
actually you might be right about Mcdonalds. they are one of the biggest corporations in the world. so they probably made more food than anyone else and served more than anyone else. So by market share Mcdonalds might be at the top. but i don't think KFC has the same global reach. Pizza Hut has substantial presence in the asian markets but i'm not sure about other markets like the middle east or eastern europe
Just chill and stop being so German about it, I thought Clarkson portrayed the French quite well actually, I mean... the captain of that boat, Alain Robert the fearless spiderman, the helpful Jaguar driving motorists, the sophisticated foodies...
@HellwrathUK "stop being german about it" hehe, what does that mean? I´ve never heard that phrase before. Does it mean to be neatly and overcorrect? I think this is a quite funny, but, after all, pretty on-point expression for our most outstanding traits of character.
Always the same dumb anglosaxon cliches about the French. Really pathetic,and above all BORING . Most of the French never eat these things, and mot of the French are certainly cleaner than the majority of Brittons.
Oh get over yourself. It's a TV programme, made by a Brit, for a British audience. It's a balanced mix of French cliches (which the British audience find humorous), and French facts (both well-known ones, and unknown ones) which the British audience find interesting. Clarkson doesn't in any way show a negative view of France. You're just a French person who has watched this, heard only what they want to hear, and now wants something to moan about.
Southwest France sounds like an American hunter's dream. We can only hunt in the US during specific seasons for specific game with specific weapons (bow's, rifles, muzzle loaders, etc). Rednecks take note of French hunting, you can't hate everything about them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hate the French. If not for the the Brits and the Americans they would be speaking German and eating kraut instead of birds. Who will they raise the white flag to next? Fucking pussys.
You're a fine one to talk about destroying a language! Not to mention, you need a history lesson! The "abomb?" Do you know that the "abomb"(fucking idiot) is not something you use in a country like Vietnam? I understand how you must feel though. If I were from a worthless country like Norway I would also cling to a country like Germany. By the way, my "fucked up country" is the best on Earth. So glad you aren't here.
You need a history lesson. The Americans were actually thinking of dropping a few in Korea.
When did i ever say you guys used or should have used the abomb in Vietnam? You both have it...so both countries can blow the other back to the stone age, making no one more powerful.
My country is the richest country in the world. And together with Sweden we got the hottest women in the world.
USA the best country on earth, my ASS. Travel around and read some history you fucking idiot!
I have been all over the world you fucking moron! As for your Vietnam comment it makes ZERO sense! Show me where America was EVER thinking about the use of atomic weapons in Korea. It's easy to see I'm dealing with a foolish child that knows nothing at all. Trailer trash? You are so far off base, you ignorant child.
general macarthur told president truman to nuke the northern parts of china so that no chinamen could help the commies of north corea.but truman rejected the proposal and mcarthur was fired as supreme commander.
they should have used the bomb in vietnam though,then they would have won that fucking war!
Please continue to make a fool of yourself. It really is entertaining! The best part about it is you have no idea how ignorant you are! Please, keep it up!
as you may or may not know English is not the only language in the world therefor some people who don't speak it as a native tongue (such as myself) might have difficulties spelling everything correctly.that however does not draws anything of the validity of their point.
Well considering Norway just got put in the No.1 position in the world to live, then I think you are the ignorant one. BTW, USA is 13th, and UK is a poor 21st :S
@imtheguvnor Those tests are based on opinion, its a subjective matter. I mean I've lived in the Netherlands, UK, Sri Lanka and now the USA. And in my opinion Sri Lanka was by far the most fun and spacious place to live. I bet it isn't even listed!
@bigboybrit92 Subjective, yes I'm sure each input was individual which amassed to an overall count. It's also based on a Country's import/export, financial status, health and safety, Murder count, etc, etc. This totals upto a Top 10-20-50-100 list.
Listen Yankee, wake up and realise the world fucking hates you. I can't wait for kim jong ping pong to nuke your fucking country to kingdom come, and also, if america is the best country on earth, why is it that your OFFICIALLY the most hated country on earth?
Answer your own question......oh wait. you already have. You pathetic fool, "Kim jong ping pong" dosen't have the ability to "nuke" his own country Have fun on your LITTLE island. LOL!
America has NOTHING to be proud of. You were obviously brought up, pledging allegiance to your flag (that we invented) and holding your hand on your heart listening to your national anthem (that we wrote).
America saved your ass you fool! Tell me how the Brits beat the Germans in WWII without the help of AMERICA!? Don't get me wrong because I love England and her people but let's not forget the past. America has plenty to be proud of. Don't forget that as of late we all have our hands in the same pile of shit............
Right chap, Americas 'Time' magazine named Hitler 'man of the year' in 1938 while Britain was keeping a close eye on the man. America could have gone either way but because of Pearl Harbour, they entered. I think its excellent that we are alies. America is a wonderfull place but I think you have made some terrible mistakes (Nucular bomb.) saying things like 'God bless America' after every sentence is not very appeling from the point of view from other countrys. Where were you in forkland island?
