Found a Jeremy Clarkson meme that sums up this week’s events in America!

For the record, I have no idea if this meme has already been posted on the subreddit before, but if not, it’s turning out to be an evergreen one. 😅

I feel like Jeremy would vote for Trump
KeithCGlynn@reddit
I don't see it. Clarkson probably a republican for sure but I think he is the smart kind. He would definitely be able to see that Trump has some really bad ideas. Clarkson voted to remain in the EU. He wouldn't like Kamala but would reluctantly vote for her.

He did call Kamala an idiot

I don't know... Jeremy is right wing for the UK, but Kamala is also right wing for the UK.

Probably

That’s the short clip where the meme came from! Thank you for finding it on YouTube and sharing the link on this subreddit for our enjoyment. 😀

Lol cry more

For the record, that meme is from the very first episode of Clarkson’s daytime talk show back in the 1990s. I wasn’t able to find that specific clip online, but if anyone is here stumbles upon it (the full episode had Boris Johnson on as a guest) feel free to post the link in the comments!
Another thing to note: Clarkson has consistently poked fun at Americans and the US in general throughout his career (not to mention other countries and nationalities). If there’s a memo stating that we can no longer do that anymore, I never received it!

The thing I’ve noticed about Clarkson, yes he belittles many others and yes he is quote Euro-centric in all things. But. In his humor, he dishes it out but can also take it. Same cannot be said for many others.
jofijk@reddit
Also, I'm pretty sure he made fun of the UK just as much if not more than other countries
BeachHead05@reddit
I like his shows. Very entertaining. Couldn't careless about his politics. He's British. I'm American. Unless he becomes American his views on American politics is background noise
Tellittomy6pac@reddit
Let’s not make this subreddit political.
Maldovar@reddit
Jezza repeatedly called Hammond's Monster Truck the trump truck and spent a large chunk of Sea Men ranting about Jeremy Corbyn
Ok_Muscle_3770@reddit
Top Gear has always referenced politics throughout it's entire run.
Phonixrmf@reddit
Still... could be worse
PlatoDrago@reddit
Top gear was filled with political humour. The grand tour had its fair share too.
Whelan-Dealin@reddit
And as always, they were completely impartial on TG, because of course they were on the BBC!
Craneteam@reddit
We already share his weekly column which is usually political
Socratesmiddlefinger@reddit
True, but it is his political views we are interested in, not anyone else's.
scramble_suit_bob@reddit
Just this week’s events? Did you just start paying attention this week?
GuestExciting6896@reddit
I don’t get it. What happened this week here in America?
XuX24@reddit
I always wonder if after he is gone if we are going to have another guy like him.
TSMKFail@reddit
This will always be relevant cos 'Murica is a shithole.
Socratesmiddlefinger@reddit
Is it better than where you come from, because there are only a handful of countries on earth that are near peer to the US?
CopiumAddictsBeware@reddit
Nah man it's not that bad. I'm not saying I'm loving everything about where we're at but things could get orders of magnitude worse. We might look back on these times and wish we were in them again, but I hope not.
That_Competition1031@reddit
I am sorry, can someone provide some additional context? Or is it just another „oh no, Trump won, we are so doomed”
Byttmice@reddit
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
OGCelaris@reddit
As an American I agree.
CopiumAddictsBeware@reddit
Hopefully things get better but we've been on a steep downward slope headed toward a cliff since the COVID stuff.
prongslover77@reddit
Me too buddy. We belong in the trash at the moment.
Ajsarch@reddit
It’s fine on this side of the pond. Jeremy understands humor - you’re not Jezza.
Hayburner80107@reddit
It’s amazing the sheer number of dumb Americans who took his insults personally; I always laughed at and enjoyed them.
CopiumAddictsBeware@reddit
Jokes is jokes I don't know why everyone is so wound up all the time
TOHSNBN@reddit
My favorite jokes in Top Gear were the ones making fun of germans, they were always hilarious.
I am german.
Squirreling_Archer@reddit
Clarkson is very likely thrilled about it
SubjectiveAssertive@reddit
I miss his chat show, spud-zukas, liquid nitrogen, interviewing an environmentalist and offering him a lift in his Ferrari
