I love your dog though(btw i meant Monty Python and litte britain)

[McShowoff]

Thanks. I think my dog is the best part of the video by far. And I love Monty Python, but I don't know Little Britain.  I think a great example of the difference between British and American humor is "The Office". The British version is hysterical, but it is occasionally (like Gervais's "Extras") just excruciating to watch. The American version doesn't get so dark, for better or worse.

It's nice.

Your sense of humour is unique.

However I really doubt you would be on that TV show.

Sorry its just very unlikely for everyone.

But don't get me wrong.

Thats how people win the lottery.

Luck.

[McShowoff]

Thank you. I agree with your assessment as well.

And americanized Top Gear will self destruct. A huge part of what makes it funny is it's British humor.

Even if car guy celebs like Jay Leno and Tim Allen hosted it, it wouldn't fly.

no1 can compare to the british one!

I'm surprised it has keys in the ignition and not a screwdriver

@beefbutcher if you notice, the guy drives like a bit of a tool. burns off at lights, ect. 25mpg is reasonable for a hatchback that's getting carelessly driven.

"I'M ON A BRIDGE!"

Yes its a joke 25MPG - 32MPG for a little hatch.

It's shit! In America it's pretty damned good though! In the UK it's fucking terrible!

[getalife04]

Man when I heard that they were thinking of doing an "american" top gear I was like oh god this is going to be funny. Because I am an american and I just don't think that say its an american top gear show as a good idea because people are going to compare them. I heard they asked jay leno to do it but he turned it down and I don't blame him.
