Top Gear - Tampons and James May's OCD

[Godofhellfire321]

How can you say Clarkson isnt much if a driver, that's all he dose, and get in trouble with the government

[joannaslomka1989]

@Godofhellfire321 A diver, not a driver xD

[mchandler2112]

I don't think clarkson is much of a diver. I bet he bought the watch just to annoy james

[laikangyuan]

there's a ghost behind James XD

[TheSRalston]

Is that for entertainment´s sake or does he really have OCD?

[TheKenjoje]

@TheSRalston haha that's a good question. considering he is REALLY vegetarian it doesn't seem so impossible

[pepperminttea42]

@TheSRalston Not serious "I'll die if I don't fix it!"-kind of OCD, he just likes things in a particular way, and they enjoy teasing him mercilessly about it. :)

[HappyWeirdo3]

i would be the same...

[rinaldootje]

Captain Slo.... OCD

[roxxas5]

The better question is... where does James get tampons?

[lisola]

Nice Rolex.

[Filipohman12]

@lisola Omega? isn't it?

[lisola]

@Filipohman12 I'm not sure. I'm actually not even 100% sure it's a rolex now that I slowed it down. That triangular hourhand doesn't remind me of any rolex..... Hmmmmm

[BrokenBaculum]

@lisola It's an Omega Planet Ocean on a rubber strap. He's had it for a good few years now. The Top Gear guys seem to have new watches for each series, but I've noticed that Jeremy has stuck with his.

[lisola]

@BrokenBaculum Thanks for schooling me!! It's gorgeous now that I can pull up a picture of it... Good taste, no wonder he's sticking with it.

[hhtmclaren]

@BrokenBaculum I don't understand the watch joke

[BrokenBaculum]

@hhtmclaren A watch has a rotating bezel, used to time SCUBA dives, and it has a marker where the '12' should be on the watch face. It apparently annoys James if it not directly in line with the '12' on the face, because he likes thing in line and symmetrical. Jeremy then says that, because of this, James has OCD.

[danielraul1989]

this is why we love Top Gear

[FootmanBas]

In james defence i have to say that tampon use is actually pretty smart.

[0Lamborghini]

When he says "spillage!", you immediately think of something else and the thought of James May doing that has you laughing uncontrollably!!!

[randomheartofgold]

@0Lamborghini totaly.

[lanswipe]

what episode was this?

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

Its just a sponge. the fact women shove them up their vaginas doesn't make them less useful.

[randomheartofgold]

@007bondspy well, I can't ever be pissed off with funny people. Hey, if someone is talented, (and not a snob) who cares if they make more money? does it really make any difference? save your arguments for wall street, just enjoy the video dude.

[benedyktmatraszek]

what episode is this from?



[VoxJoxx]

Clarkson's resting place for his balls are firmly on May's chin.

[randomheartofgold]

@VoxJoxx ?

[xmanx4lyf]

i cant stand it when the dial is not right on a watch as well :/

[TheSaphiraGirl]

OMG, 'I have' it was so... i cant stop laughing! and richards i will not... omg lmao

[Phoenix1664]

"spillage....." Clarkson ----> 0.o

[zhangk0]

I didn't know tampons had so many uses!

[TheDynoSoar]

@zhangk0 their great for nose bleeds too.

[CitrusJuicebox]

What episode is this?

[waiotahi52]

If you happen to be in an accident that involves a lot of blood, just check what the Ambulance Officer is using to stop it, clean it up..........

[MrJuan2092]

whats with the watch?

[rundownaxe]

@MrJuan2092 James can't stand when the arrow isn't on top or something. It OCD : Obssessive compulsive disorder or something like that.

[murcielagogt81]

You will never find a funnier group of blokes HAHA!

[italianchriswilko100]

james is currently a bachelor, how did he find himself in posession of a tampon? :/

[peepeevagi]

@italianchriswilko100 Some of us buy them as regular household items. They're handy at stopping nosebleeds, cleaning where you cant reach... you can do lots more with a tampon than just shoving it in a woman's cooter :/

[embed000]

@italianchriswilko100 actually, he's been going out with someone for over 10 years. The boys always say he's single only because he isn't married

[roothy109]

Jeremy: James (holds up hand), go away!

[salland12]

james is such a nice guy

[Seamonkey555]

Though how the bezel works is great for meetings it was originally meant for scuba divers to know when their air was low.

[Seamonkey555]

They are the funniest together!

[niebells]

he is really... he clearly has OCD..

but i still love him :P

[Indaheezay]

James May is actually hilarious :D

[emptyheady]

0:12 love may's face xD its like: 'sowhat? whats the big deal?'

[kristjan100]

...new application for existing texhnology... james,

go away, oh crap i can't stand that :D

[Rookian2]

whats the thing with the watch?

[almostfm]

@Rookian Some watches have a rotating outer bezel that you can use to mark a specific time. If I'm meeting with a client starting at 3:22, I rotate the bezel so the "60" is at 22 minutes. If I look at my watch when the meeting ends and the minute hand is at "50", I know we've met for 50 minutes.

Having the bezel rotated is the sort of thing that might bother someone with OCD, because it looks "disorderly"

[Rookian1]

@almostfm thank you a lot, that helped.

[waaromeenusername]

I laughed so hard at RIchard's 'I will NOT!' xD

[listerofsmeg85]

i thought may was kinda weird but wow.

hammond wishes he could be that funny.

[mking2005]

Clarkson has an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean?????? with all the money he makes from top gear thats all he could afford? not that its a bad watch. it happens to be one of my favorite watches. just sayin...

[DiZzYbOi2010]

@mking2005 Just because they have loads of money doesn't mean they'll buy all the expensive shit in the world. The more it costs doesn't always make it better &)

[shortNameIsLong]

That women behind May is creepy.

[primalaye]

You've got to give James credit. He's resourceful, albeit socially awkward.

[BrettS78]

According to google transcribe "it boiled over the gays in the best of the directly from the finger than if you don't think they are"

[dreamer1215]

I spilled oil in my Jeep a few weeks ago..I thought of James - the tampon did work! lol

[SeatBeltFTW]

OMG behing James to the right at 1:21... I'm gonna have some bad nightmares.

[mdr279]

Australian Top Gear sucks ass. It's just not the same.

[4duff5]

@mdr279 Very true they shouldn't have copied it



[tumbleweed941]

This is funny enough as it is, but transcribe the audio as well it's even more hilarious :)

[ILUVNCIS100]

The News Is So Funny, Espessully The Tampon, So Funny. And The Watch

[ivakpavlov]

James May acts exactly as Monk!

[Monicaplay123]

".. You'll know this!"

"I WILL NOT!"

And then Jeremy's laugh xD I LOVE these guys!

[AirCanada04]

"Should I tell you the other interesting this about tampons?"

Hahaha!

[tibby499]

what the hell is "OCD" ?

[limjunyong]

@tibby499 Obsessive–compulsive disorder

[BearsDkills]

@tibby499

read a fucking book for once.

[tibby499]

@BearsDkills oh, sorry... i don`t live in a coutrry where Na/Br English is spoken, so i didn`t know... and you don`t have to be such an ass and say that... fuck off... -.-

[TroyTransistor]

My buddy Noah gets these really bad nosebleeds, and he uses tampons all the time so he won't have to hold a tissue on his face. Rather effective.

As a sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder myself, I feel your pain, James!

[uofl2004]

If the BBC makes a version of Monk James May is there man.

[djaism]

He has OCD? :DD

[NiGeLbUiSsEt]

at 1:21 look at the person behind james, to the right of your screen... :s

[MacGyver920]

@NiGeLbUiSsEt Spooky.

[OLLY605]

Lol I have OCD also which makes me love James even more!

[shcnoozlebop]

i adore james. clarkson found a way to physically REPEL james hahaha

[cllcn888]

these guy behind james are so scary...

[whityjack]

what's OCD?

[limjunyong]

@whityjack Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking

[Tazie118]

@limjunyong did you get that off the internet

[limjunyong]

@Tazie118 parts of it but I also have it so ya

[Tazie118]

@limjunyong i have it too

[visionit2007]

@whityjack It's like CDO only the letters don't have to be in the right order.

[psyduck731]

why doesn't james like the watch?

[armadafanforever]

@psyduck731 its not that he doesn't like the watch, its just that when Jeremy does something to it James feels he has to fix it. :)

[Kaktusiechanizigama]

I have the same problem as James

[deanbrickland]

i hate those watches. why would you ever need to move that thing around

[Mainiac1221]

James is thrifty

[geartop988]

i love how unflappable he is <3

[Egsosither]

Wohoo, Arnold Schwarzenegger!

[titofdeath]

Awww, James is adorable =D

[unclepic1]

OMG I HAVE JEREMY'S WATCH ITS AN IKE WATCH MADE IN MILANO I FEEL SO COOL

[Acetactular]

Was that woman behind James May with the glowing face deaf or something? She didn't even crack a smile once!

[superkryp13]

what episode and season is this???

[xiahoupaul19]

@superkryp13 season 10 episode 3

[superkryp13]

@xiahoupaul19 thank u

[TheSquirrelMeister92]

I have.

So. Deadpan.

So. Gorgeous.

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

lo0ok at the girl in the back to the right of james head at 1:21

FREAKY!

[BeNiShMcFly]

which season and episode is it??

[The10Girl]

Anybody who knows why James don't like jeremy's watch?? :) Why do I not know that! xD

Please help me

[Moonshape]

@The10Girl If you google 'OCD', you'll find out

[The10Girl]

@Moonshape I find out what it was! hehe xD 

[suzukiSJ88]

soo damn funny

[zorice35]

HOLY SHIT A GHOST BEHIND james may at 1:21

[haziqdaM5fanatic]

@zorice35 Exactly my thought too! =D

[crazejason]

i used a tampon to stop a nosebleed...

[Moonshape]

@crazejason XD Don't they teach that at first aid courses?

[crazejason]

@Moonshape i dont know bubut they should

[G1NZOU]

James May is a real man, not scared of using tampons because of their connection with the "other purpose".

It's just a bit of absorbant material when you think about it logically.

[GU174RM4N]

@G1NZOU James May vs Gordon Ramsey proves this beyond all doubt. James May is actually the manliest of the Top Gear presenters, no joke.

Always remember, real men aren't afraid to wear pink.

[ivanlai0225]

@GU174RM4N real men also drives a fiat panda

[swaggassault]

american top gear sucks ass. its just not the same

[tallzdatank]

@swaggassault i had high hopes for it. but it does truly suck. though if you dont compare it to these guys its ok.

[swaggassault]

@tallzdatank i think it would even lose to 5th gear...

[Moonshape]

@swaggassault Most things American suck ass

[F0xSH0X1]

@Moonshape no... i dont think so... we invented french toast and capitalism... which you use dumbass.

[Moonshape]

@F0xSH0X1 Oh yeah, french toast was REALLY world changing. Your capitalism makes the rest of the world poor and unfed. If the entire rich world would only give HALF or what they possess, there would be less poverty and hunger.

America has stolen, bribed and cheated their way into history and yet they still think God is with them and they deserve a place into heaven. You guys are Goddamn hypocrites and think you're so fantastic bc you invented awesome stuff (which in MOST cases were STOLEN)

[willymywonka]

@Moonshape exactly makes the rest of the world poor and unfed. fuck them if they can't keep up.

and really you're against every american because of your biased opinions? grow up and stop trolling

[Moonshape]

@willymywonka Am I saying I am? My best friend is from America. I just don't like THE COUNTRY and it's way of thinking.

Like Clarkson once said: 'I do believe people have learnt to mate with vegetables'

[jrmendoza7]

@Moonshape wow i really like how that conversation went from top gear to french toast to world poverty. very impressive.

[xomanowar42]

@Moonshape

french toast... changing the future of breakfast...

[ZephyrFiction]

@Moonshape

Chieffy, I can name one thing that America invented, and if you say anything, you should just delete this account...

We made YouTube.

Your Argument is Invalid

[Moonshape]

@ZephyrFiction So was George Bush. You are invalid

[Moonshape]

@ZephyrFiction Oh and wasn't the guy from Asia? Sorry but that's NOT America last time I checked

[throwingknifeladd]

@ZephyrFiction lol robot "YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID" "but..." "DOES NOT COMPUTE"!!!

[Counterweight91]

@F0xSH0X1 capitalism is from The Netherlands, The VOC in the 17th century (if im correct) was the first form of a large company that sold stocks and all.

[Moonshape]

@Counterweight91 We rule. Thanks.

[willymywonka]

@Moonshape agreed

[butchd2010]

@F0xSH0X1 The earliest official mention of French Toast is in the Apicius, a collection of Roman recipes dating back to the 4th or 5th century. it was copied by north america at a later date and re named

[Moonshape]

@butchd2010 SEE! STOLENNNNNNNNNNNNN

[bowen1966]

@F0xSH0X1 that has to be best reply ever, you've made me laugh out loud, and i'm not joking, but are you sure about the french toast?

[bowen1966]

@F0xSH0X1 that has to be best reply ever, you've made me laugh out loud, and i'm not joking, but are you sure about the french toast? i hope you are

[swaggassault]

@Moonshape well not all things....well maybe yes.

[rconlowtank]

@Moonshape whats that supose to mean america makes good thines im from the usa home of the free thank u very much and we made the 2and best and fastest car it is the ssc ultimate aero did i mentio we make good gun and food thats y some americans are fat bc its goood food

[DamazViccar]

@swaggassault If you ask me, much of the original's charm stems from the presenters' copious use of language. They are artists.

The American version's hosts use empty, default words such as sketchy, awesome and dude and whatnot. They might improve with time, but truth be told, they cannot hold a candle to old timer, battle-hardened BBC journalists.

[Immortal4Aday]

@swaggassault there is an american top gear?

[huangyishi]

@swaggassault

If you think American sucks, try Australian !

[LightmanOver9000]

@swaggassault So does the Australian one.

[Maca68]

@swaggassault There's an American Top Gear?

'nuff said.

[Garcia117]

@Maca68 ya but not that good

[Maca68]

@Garcia117 I was being sarcastic.

As in, I was basically saying "Are Americans TV executives THAT stupid they would actually try to copy a show that is popular purely because of the presenters, and their chemistry, and not the cars?"

[citrussage]

@Maca68 They aren't 'copying'. It's a BBC franchise show. Do you know what that means? The BBC held the auditions for presenters. It's their idea to have a TG USA, or Aus. or Rus. No one copied anything. And the TG US show is coming along nicely. I'm American, I can relate to the guys and the cars they choose.

[citrussage]

@Garcia117

[JBofBrisbane]

@Maca68 - I've seen a small part of American Top Gear. It isn't that much of a copy. That makes it better than Top Gear Australia for a start.

[Live1052]

I'm the same with the watch bezel thing! Drives me nuts. That and when I'm sitting at a bar I always like my beermat to be squared with the edge of the bar, and my coffee table bas to be square on the rug which has to be square to the floorboards! Its not full-blown OCD though I keep telling myself. Just an idiosyncracy!

[hoax1992]

1:21...scary face behind May

[superkryp13]

what season and episode is this?

[awelillow]

I dont get it... whats wrong with the watch???

why he cant stand it?

[eggduelkicks]

@awelillow jeremy spun the wheel around the face (some watches have it, most are for different purposes) so that it didn't line up correctly. people with ocd need things to be in proper order, such an incorrect alignment would be quite unnerving to someone with ocd. 

[Moonshape]

@awelillow Google 'OCD'

[Ascendsct]

he left. .lolololol.

[hiddenbutdeadly]

1:08 FALCON GRAB!!!!

[LaChocolatZeprys13]

my brother is like may. not like the tampons, just the clock.

[420ispeace]

Im the SAME. Ive been known to get up and straighten crooked mini blinds at other peoples homes! It just drives me NUTS!!

[A16AdamWalker]

I wish James was my uncle

[ficacci]

i hate those clocks too...!!!

[xRAMxDOD]

may has ocd

[099psp]

lol at 1:10

[DrarryForever]

Ugh, i feel James' pain so much.

I would rip the watch off of Clarkson if i were James.

At least he's got good self-control. XD

[monsterenergy713]

Clarkson has a rolex

[2AgentSmith2]

@monsterenergy713 some rolexes probably

[TG1212able]

James reminds me of my grandpa. Could just sit and listen to him for hours.

[MisterGasMan]

could watchs these guys forever

[khiangtelian]

why james can't stand the watch?

[pinkuggboots1]

@khiangtelian Because he has Obsesive Compulsive Disorder and the watch arrow is round the wrong way when it shouldnt be. I actually get where he's coming from, it would drive me insane aswell :)

[aplaingirl]

My God I love these men.

[ChiiPanties]

James is so damn adorable.
