I read a few threads about this and am not sure I get the joke. Is there deeper humor apart from "it's clearly not their hands pointing at the map"?

[-]

JobeRogerson@reddit

Only people who understand a certain type of humour will find it funny. I can’t describe how but it’s just funny to me.

[-]

michaelloda9@reddit

I don't understand why some people don't find this humours. They literally where asking "why" or "what does that mean"... Like, what do you mean? It's a joke, there's no deep meaning in this

[-]

Born-Palpitation1833@reddit

If you have to explain your joke, probably it's not a good one.

[-]

Raspberryian@reddit

But if you look close. He does actually have pink nails. And also regularly paints at least one black

[-]

saintmsent@reddit

I thought there was some backstory or context that I'm not picking up, but oh well

[-]

MrRgrs@reddit

It's just a kind of throwback to their Conversation Street intros

[-]

Outrageous_Stand_246@reddit

The one with the high heels? The guys were definitely wearing the heels on that one.

[-]

GeoHog713@reddit

Its funny bc those are clearly ladies' fingers and none of the trip are ladies. So they obviously had their assistants do it, bc pointing at a map is beneath them.

Jokes are always funnier when you explain them

[-]

81jmfk@reddit

And on that terrible disappointment…..

[-]

Engine-earz@reddit

I was intently staring at his finger to see if he really had nail polish on...anyone else?

[-]

I think this is a reference to the show Eurotrash which is obviously referenced in the name of the episode. I could be wrong but wasn’t this a running gag of Antoine De Caunes? (No use pretending I didn’t watch eurotrash anymore 🤩🍑)

[-]

thenuclearpinball@reddit

James's hand was bejeweled- why didn't Richard have any decoration?

[-]

shatred@reddit

Seeing this in the episode made me laugh way too hard.

[-]

cheftommyt1974@reddit

If you pause just after they pull out in the shot. It sure the fuck is his nails

[-]

Made Me uncomfortable. Wasn’t as funny as it was… uncomfortable

[-]

mattchampagne1@reddit

Does nail polish make you uncomfortable?

[-]

InterstellarTowel@reddit

Only on a man’s hand

[-]

michaelloda9@reddit

Well that's cringe

[-]

InterstellarTowel@reddit

Yea

Please try chewing on a loaded gun

[-]

alvik@reddit

Leaving your house must be so hard. I've seen a good amount of men wearing nail polish recently. Not to mention the goths and punks.

[-]

InterstellarTowel@reddit

Their choice. Why would I care?

[-]

alvik@reddit

I don't know why you'd care, but you clearly do considering you said it makes you uncomfortable.

[-]

InterstellarTowel@reddit

You’re weird

[-]

ophi-birch@reddit

Wow...you're a pitiful man, so insecure about himself and his masculinity that he can't even bear nail polish on a "man's hand" when it wasn't even a man's hand. I'm sorry for you.

[-]

InterstellarTowel@reddit

Gross

Except it’s not a man’s hand?😬

Woman’s finger… time to put ya glasses on!

[-]

EX1500@reddit

That’s because it very obviously isn’t Jeremy’s hand.

[-]

I noticed that, those were girls’ hands, pink and green 😉

[-]

[-]

ThlintoRatscar@reddit

I'm hopeful that they're not just any ol' lady's hands.

I'm hopeful that they are specifically Abbie's.

And that she gets paid a ton for the shots.

Are you retarded OP?

[-]

Minigiant2709@reddit (OP)

Are you....? What a moronic comment

[-]

bullitt07@reddit

Nobody is talking about the fact that you actually think that is Jeremy Clarkson’s finger OP.

[-]

Arinvar@reddit

Hey did you guys see that joke in the new TGT special that went for like a full 2 minutes and was so obvious the only way you'd miss it is if you didn't actually watch any of the show.

[-]

Lympwing2@reddit

Is that not the joke

[-]

gmangieri314@reddit

Hahaha. Now we are.

[-]

opq8@reddit

Yeah, while the close up shots all had the pink fingernails, the zoomed out shots facing Jeremy showing him pointing did not.

[-]

TallTom70@reddit

And they are wearing a different jacket

[-]

No_Doubt_About_That@reddit

Some say it’s the finger of the person that ‘served’ them in that shop.

[-]

Lolxgdrei787@reddit

exactly. its just a chefs kiss from production

[-]

cruelcynic@reddit

Lol, that's certainly not a painted up orangutan sausage.

[-]

12bnseattle@reddit

Aside from it not being any of their hands, does nobody know what "eurotrash" means? Where the whole play-on-words title comes from??

[-]

Puggapi@reddit

I always thought it was just due to the irreverent satirical style of the Jean-Paul Gaultier, Antoine de Caunes show which the goings on of Europe were the subject, hence it being called Eurotrash, then the Grand Tour altered it to Eurocrash cos cars

[-]

Puggapi@reddit

A play on the title of the show Jean Paul Eurotrash a popular show hosted by Jean Paul Gaultier and Antoine de Caunes in the 90's - 00's on channel 4 giving a satirical look at the goings on in Europe

[-]

patataskr@reddit

I’ve been waiting for this…

[-]

Bayek-_-@reddit

What was the gag behind it?

[-]

Dramatic-Swimming-72@reddit

What is so confusing about mr Clarkson’s stance on transgender issues? He makes no bones about it. The bacon lesbian and tomato (as he calls it) community means nothing to him. I’m not being hateful it’s just a statement of observation based fact.

[-]

Dramatic-Swimming-72@reddit

All it was, was a mockery. Plain as day.

[-]

Ok_Guitar2170@reddit

They all have pretty feminine hands.

I think that's just a cheeky edit and maybe a prank on the orangutan.

[-]

restore_democracy@reddit

Yes, people talked about it when it came out.

[-]

AlanDevonshire@reddit

Also one of the other guys had green finger nails ( I can’t remember which one)

[-]

Demosthenes-storming@reddit

James May had greena and rings with chains, lol

[-]

paturner2012@reddit

All of them had very gaudy fake nails... I think it was their fingers?? I think it was a bit about the types of people who would take that kind of road trip for holiday.

[-]

glanked@reddit

They would point at the map and the closeup would be some woman’s finger, none of them were actually wearing nails

[-]

gary_mcpirate@reddit

It was most definitely girls fingers

[-]

eveel66@reddit

They were “ALL” wearing nail polish… Jeremy, James and Richard. Only thing is they weren’t and those were women’s hands

[-]

Stranger_00_dangeR@reddit

A lot less sausagy of fingers too

[-]

thejappidoo@reddit

Why would you point out the polish when he’s already pointing to Poland itself?

[-]

EddieGrant@reddit

Literally the first thing I saw come out of this special was somebody pointing this out.

[-]

According-2-Me@reddit

All of them had Women’s hands point at the map instead of their own.

[-]

All_Hail_Figgleforth@reddit

I don't know if it was just a silly non sequitur, or if maybe they were making a tongue in cheek reference to the transphobia wave that is sweeping the western world as of late.

[-]

michaelloda9@reddit

No, it's just painted nails

[-]

michaelloda9@reddit

Literally everyone's talking about it and that's not his hand

[-]

plumppshady@reddit

Each time they pointed at the map there was a different womens finger pointing for each of the lads.

[-]

[-]

TheLewJD@reddit

Nobody? Seen about 12 posts this week

[-]

Socalshoe@reddit

They're replacement shots. I think I saw a hand representing James with rings and green polish. I'd credit it to a tired producer and an editor who were like, "Oh, so you don't want to shoot these simple pickup shots? You think we should just fix it in Post? Well, here, it's fixed. That's a lovely shade of pink, Mr. Clarkson."

[-]

linusSocktips@reddit

gentlemens sausageeeeeee

all the map fingers were colored and interesting. They would have filmed it months ago, so no possible relation to the fact that it came out during pride month?

[-]

FS1120@reddit

I think because we all got the joke about it being totally different hands at the time and carried on.

[-]

ScreamingMini2009@reddit

If you look closely, most of the fingers pointing in this scene are lady’s fingers

It isn’t funny now you’ve explained it

[-]

Ridikiscali@reddit

Definitely a female’s finger.

[-]

DocZ-1701@reddit

I was too busy laughing about the joke already... 🤷

[-]

RockyJayyy@reddit

Even James may had blue I think? When he pointed at the map

[-]

SirLostit@reddit

Could be blue…. I thought it was green.

[-]

timsredditusername@reddit

It was blue, but also black

[-]

SomeHorologist@reddit

That ain't his hands

And if they are, so what? You got a problem with painted nails? Let the orangutan be fabulous

[-]

wenoc@reddit

What is there to talk about? So he has nail polish, so what?

[-]

SpinachParticular452@reddit

George as a "hand-model"

[-]

Azyall@reddit

If you watch closely, there is one shot where Jeremy is wearing the same bracelet as the female nail-painted "stunt hand", so it was clearly an in-joke of some kind.

[-]

pagadqs@reddit

Nothing to talk about - it wasn't their hands pointing at the map.

[-]

wallaba4@reddit

I think those are Jennifer's hands. I reference back to when he said he would legally change his name if the P1 lost the challenge in the first episode.

[-]

glorykiller6969@reddit

So from what I could tell it definitely wasn’t they’re hands judging by the fact that in one clip you can see a part of their sleeve and it doesn’t match what any of them are wearing and I’m pretty confident those are women’s hands in both Jeremy and James’ case.
