Season 15, Episode 1
Guest Star: Nick Robinson
IN Top Gear Season 15 premiere Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig come together to check out the Bentley Continental GT. However, all this leads to the appearance of Reliant Robin. This is the episode where Jeremy takes his Reliant Robin car for rides over and over again and it just keeps going, showing that it is possibly one of the most reliable and reliable cars ever made.. What’s even more reliable is Jeremy himself, as his comments as he rolls the car are hilarious.
Jeremy made so many deadpan and offhand comments during accidents (“ok, that’s convenient“), which made every time he rolled the car even funnier than the one before. The episode even has a moment where Jeremy rolls the car into a parking lot full of similar cars and everyone just watches in awe , which justifies the joke perfectly. This is one of the episodes where the story relied almost exclusively on comedy, and it worked perfectly.

Season 20, Episode 5
Guest Star: Steven Tyler
In season 20, Jeremy and James decide they want to find which SUVs are best for caravan holidays.. The two then go test drive different cars, which is where the main joke of the episode comes into play. The episode even deals with low-hanging branches when Jeremy and James are in a parking lot at night and mention that people are “dogging” there, which apparently refers to one of the slightly dirtier references in the series.
What makes the joke work so well is the look of horror on James and Jeremy’s faces when they realize they’re right. However, the funniest moment was when James and Jeremy went to the hardware store to do some shopping that had to be seen and believed. What’s even better is that they continued to take many of the purchased items to the dumpster and toss random items “on the tip”.

Season 14, Episode 6
Bolivia Special
Considered one of the best Top Gear An all-time special, Season 14’s trip to Bolivia was also one of the scariest and funniest. In the episode, Clarkson, Hammond and May traveled to Bolivia with £3,500 to buy local used cars. They then have to use cars to travel along the coast of Chile. As they move into the Amazon vegetation, the episode features some of the most breathtaking scenery of the entire series. However, it also features one of the deadliest moments.
They will have to overcome a 40-mile mountain road known as El Camino de la Muerte. (Death Road), which features some of the most terrifying moments of the entire franchise. Since so many people have died there over the years, the guys know the danger, but this episode is smart enough to offset the horror with sharp humor. The jokes start from the beginning when each of their cars needs serious work, to the end when Richard drives his car down a hill because he’s too scared to do it.
22
Season 3, episode 13
Mongolia Special
This Top Gear This episode is another one of the show’s best specials as the team heads to Mongolia. The special, dubbed “Survival of the Fattest”, saw Clarkson, Hammond and May sent into the desert and set their missions in a format similar to reality shows such as Survivor. The guys had only a limited ration and flat backpacks with parts. TThe rations had to provide them with food, and they had to use the parts to build their own vehicles.
The goal is to build a vehicle that will help them get out of the wild and back to civilization before their rations run out. The humor here doesn’t come from unnecessary gimmicks, but rather from the chemistry between the guys and their ability to invent and create things, while also allowing them to make jokes and poke fun at each other as their frustrations grow. There’s even a joke about Richard not driving because he always crashes his cars.

Season 7, Episode 4
Guest Star: Ellen MacArthur
Top Gear Season 7, Episode 4 remains a fan favorite, with beautiful Italian supercars and guest star Ellen MacArthur, a famous yachtswoman. In this adrenaline-pumping episode, Clarkson, Hammond and May are each given £20,000 to find and buy an Italian mid-engined supercar. Hammond meets the men in a 1979 Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino, Clarkson in a 1974 Maserati Merak SS, and May cheerfully chases the couple in a 1975 Lamborghini Urraco hitched to a tow truck.

When the group set out to test drive their new cars along the 20-mile circuit from Bristol to Castle Combe, May immediately “pays off” the purchase of a £3,000 Lamborghini under budget. Throughout the episode, May can be seen fixing the car through all the tests and circuits, with the electrical problems just starting to be his problems. Men can hardly contain their merriment with the variety of uses each of them face. At the very end, Clarkson suggests: “Yes, you can buy a supercar for under £10,000, but for the love of God, don’t do it!”

Season 11, episode 1
Guest Star: Alan Carr
The challenge of creating the best police car ranks first among the best Top Gear episodes. It gives gearheads £1,500 to buy any used car and turn it into an epic police cruiser, better than the diesel Vauxhall Astra used by UK police forces. Hammond and the team had to work hard, but the results were entertaining.
The comedy of this episode comes from the host’s decision to go the route of James Bond’s gadgets instead of creating realistic police cars. May installs a rear-mounted paint gun on his Lexus LS400 that is unlikely to help catch criminals, and Hammond fixes a self-deploying spike strip on his Suzuki Vitara that doesn’t work as well as he hoped. Plus, there’s a funnier moment when the trio chases a “most wanted” criminal who turns out to be none other than the show’s test driver, The Stig.

Season 14, Episode 2
Guest Star: Michael Sheen
Season 14, Episode 2 is definitely one of the funniest. Top Gear episodes in which the hosts build their own electric car. Feeling that the G-Whiz wasn’t a good enough electric car, the presenters decided to build their own, which they first called Jeff and then renamed the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust. One can always expect the hosts to botch such an attempt for comic purposes.and so they built a box car that could be considered one of the ugliest in the world.
Instead of leather seats, there are plastic lawn chairs, and to troll Hammond, it comes with a clear roof rack that fits his “big head.” To further prove they’re not serious, the presenters cheat on an EU road test and even use Stig’s strange-looking cousin, who prefers to have solar panels on his helmet, as a test driver. An Auto magazine the review of the car at the end of the episode gives it a rating of 0.5 out of 5..

Season 11, Episode 3
Guest Star: James Corden vs. Rob Brydon
Another absurd task: the team needs to buy an Alfa Romeo with their own money. However, there is one catch. No one can spend more than £1,000. Hammond, Clarkson and May, hoping to prove their prowess in collecting cars, carefully select cars to test. Clarkson returned with an Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6, purchased for just £450. Hammond buys an Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0i and May returns with an Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 Twin Spark. Unsurprisingly, their £1,000 luxury Italian cars don’t do this job very well.
The team is excited to meet their new acquisitions on the race track and compete alongside other competitors, most notably the Porsche 911, in a fun display of engine power, or lack thereof. the team suffers many mechanical errors. The immediate car troubles, desperate attempts to maintain dignity and friendly competition earn this highly acclaimed episode one of the funniest in history. Top Gear story.

Season 18, episode 1
Special offer for India
Top Gear While the season 18 special starring India cogs has come under fire for appearing to be more scripted than other episodes, there’s no denying that the humor is on full display. In this episode, then British Prime Minister David Cameron instructs the hosts to:stay away from india“, since they want to go there to improve trade relations between the two countries. Of course, the guys ignore the orders of the Prime Minister.
All fans choose British luxury cars for their trade mission – May with a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Mk1, Clarkson with an XJ-S Celebration and Hammond with a Classic Rover Mini Cooper.

The episode began with Clarkson showing off a 3-litre V6 version of the Ford Mondeo, urging viewers not to miss out on this “underrated” car.

Season 17, Episode 4
Guest Star: Rowan Atkinson
The episode where the trio travels on trains was very interesting. Clarkson and company believe that cheaper trains need to be madeso they attach caravan carriages to the cars and put train wheels on them. The work done on the cars is impressive, but it’s what happens after that makes everyone laugh. First, the trio decided to go through endless shadow arguments with each other, arguing which was better: May’s “traditional” train (an Audi S8 attached to four caravan carriages) or Clarkson’s “Sports Train” (a Jaguar XJ-S convertible attached to open-top carriage).
Some of Jeremy Clarkson’s best quotes Top Gear happened in this episode, and since the fight for supremacy never ends, they decided to fight for it.

Season 8, Episode 1
Guest Stars: James Hewitt, Alan Davies, Trevor Eve, Jimmy Carr, Justin Hawkins, Rick Wakeman and Les Ferdinand
The Renault Espace Convertible was a chaotic and fun episode. The story revolves around a trio trying to create a convertible to carry passengers by turning it into a Renault Espace. For the presenters, once again it’s complete chaos. Despite the best efforts, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, but the audience is always there for those moments. A trip to a safari park to see if the Espace can serve as a tour van only results in the roof being blown off and destroyed by a monkey.
Even better, the tattered roof gets stuck in car wash machines, resulting in a fire that forces Clarkson, Hammond and May to flee for their lives. The first road test of the season features a Nissan Micra convertible, described by Richard as potentially the most awkward car in human history. Clarkson decides to introduce a new addition to the show’s lineup: Top Gear The dog, affectionately known as TJ, is a Labradoodle described as a “hybrid.” Oddly enough, TJ isn’t a big fan of cars or May.

Season 9, Episode 4
Guest Star: Simon Pegg
This can be compared to one of the most fun moments in Fast 9Hammond and May try to turn a 1992 Reliant Robin into a space shuttle. A mission that could have been a disaster went surprisingly well. In this episode, Clarkson begins with a controversial argument, dividing car enthusiasts into two categories: those who adore Porsche 911s (like Richard and James), and those, like himself, who prefer Ferraris to the point of fearing for your safety due to potential damage. . Richard counters, asserting the 911’s superiority as a car over the Ferrari, and enters the first segment.
The Porsche 911 and Ferrari are comparable brands, and which one is better usually comes down to personal preference.
Even the always skeptical Clarkson is surprised by how well the whole process goes. Hammond and May have endless clown moments as they try to become space engineers but end up building something that takes off. Can it go all the way? Not so, as the accident allowed Clarkson to burst into infectious laughter again.

Season 3, episode 13
Guest Star: Roy Scheider
“Mongolian Special”, the fourth special of the series, proved to be one of the most popular among fans due to its breathtaking visuals and a provocative premise.

Incredible terrain, high stakes, and well-designed challenges make this one of the best episodes.
Hammond, Clarkson and May are given small portions of food and supplies and are initially tasked with building their vehicle.

Once built, they must travel to Myoryeong, the closest civilization that only has a map. Due to the scarce food sources and cramped quarters, the episode is appropriately titled “Survival of the Fattest.”

Season 19, Episode 1
Guest Star: Damian Lewis
Without a doubt, the first episode of season 19 is one of the funniest. In the season premiere, Clarkson tries to build something. smaller than one of the world’s tiniest cars, Drank P50. The fact that Clarkson thinks the tiny P50 is “too big” speaks volumes about what an interesting presenter he is. Driving the P45 on UK streets and highways is dangerous, but a daredevil does it anyway.
The fact that Clarkson thinks the tiny P50 is “too big” speaks volumes about what an interesting presenter he is.
The golden moment comes when he gets to the point of presenting his invention on stage on one of the top reality business shows. Dragons’ Den. Clarkson lets his delusional side get the better of him, and the fact that he seriously thinks the P45 is revolutionary has everyone confused. As expected, no one invested in P45.
In the same episode, Hammond puts a Pagani Huayra to the test and The Stig sets a track record lap time that lasts over 1,200 days. Actor Damian Lewis from Motherland takes over the Kia Cee’d as the low-cost car’s star, setting the slowest time (it was driven in the snow). However, it’s the P45 that wins in terms of entertainment value.

From filling them with water to test how waterproof they are to riding with eggs to see how many break (a comfort test), the trio sort out jokes and laugh at their misfortunes. Best moment? Hammond’s car fails the handbrake test and rolls down a hill.

Season 13, Episode 2
Guest Star: Stephen Fry
One of the funniest Top Gear episodes are when the hosts pretend to be 17-year-olds buying their first cars. After purchasing the cars, the hosts engage in dangerous teenage activities to see if the cars will hold up. Naturally, fans are more interested in finding cars that are fun and fast than cars that are safe and reliable, like the thousands of teenagers who get their licenses every year.
humor c. Top Gear the episode stems not from problems, but from dialogueA particularly hilarious conversation Clarkson has with an insurance company representative after he discovers that teenage girls have to pay less than teenage boys.

Season 8, Episode 3
Guest Star: Philip Glenister
The “amphibious car” episode never fails to amuse. After the episode begins, the group takes on the task, admitting that it was never completed. Build your own vehicles for land and water. The challenge is to build amphibious vehicles capable of transporting drivers across a two-mile-wide reservoir.
Hammond takes a Volkswagen campervan and reimagines it as an aerodynamic boat, affectionately calling it a “damper van.” Clarkson adds a Honda outboard motor to a Toyota Hilux pickup truck, also known as a “Toybota.” May gets particularly creative by adding the Mirror dinghy mast to the Triumph Herald.

They all quickly snap back to reality as their makeshift “boats” struggle with the task at hand.
