I've watched most episodes of top gear, and I couldn't tell you anything about cars

I still can't understand why Clarkson punched a producer when Hammond was available.

I love Lee Mack and i love Top Gear. I honestly don't know why people are so bothered that someone else has an opinion different than theirs. It doesn't stop you enjoying it.

Yeah but top gear it’s not about cars it’s about three middle-aged man having a breakdown

The fact that so many fans have lost interest in the franchise now that the big three have left should tell you how much of the show's appeal was really about the cars.

Top gear, to quote a comedian, 'is like watching your dads mates having a mental breakdown'

Looks like Lee Mack has got his wish anyway...

Top Gear and now the Grand Tour has never been about Cars it's a comedy show with 3 men and the show is loosely based around Cars.

I think Lee Mack would do great on a car show, cause he'd always claim he doesn't like cars and rant about them but would be going 'phwoar' every time he sees or drives a sports car.

Laughing as he was on Top Gear recently

At this time of his life, Frank Skinner looks like Alan Partridge did when he had a nervous breakdown, became addicted to Toblerone and drove to Dundee in his bare feet.

Looks like this video touched a nerve with a few people in this comments section. Look, not liking Top Gear isn't the worst thing to happen since [insert national disaster here], it's merely an opinion, and there's no need to get so anally pained because of it.

Hated it that much he's been on the show🤣

I love top gear mostly for hearing jeremy say "yeeeesss" whenever he speeds up in a whip.

Ruby Wax, as usual, barely able to keep her mouth shut, even when it's someone else's turn.

The reason top gear was so popular with the trio, was because it was more than just information about cars, it was the entertainment they provided while using cars.

Kind of agree with him. "This car can do 0-100 in 6.3 seconds". Yeah. Handy. For all those street races I'll be getting into

"I'm not talking about your heavy drinking days Ruby.." brutal. I quite like Ruby, but @ 0.52 that is a face of someone who has been slayed. Lesson; don't interrupt the Mack.

I've never watched Top Gear for the challenges, it's always been to see reviews of the more futuristic vehicles (I still want that quad bike that turns into a jet ski)

This video made Top Gear fans cry :(

Top Gear isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's a cartoon and has been since Hammond had his drag crash. I'm that guy that watches all the reruns on Dave because it's entertaining and some of the stuff they do like driving to the North Pole, buying cheap cars and driving them across the rainforest is brilliant.

I'll admit to knowing nothing about cars but loving the old top gear

Probably one of the most successful programs the BBC has ever produced, but everyone claims to hate it. Something doesn't quite add up......

This is what you call good three way banter. Lovely stuff:)

top gear now is crapper than top gear then. Then it was Clarkson creaming his pants over the latest Ferrari. Now it's just a gang of lads pissing about in cars. the cars are just incidental.

I love Ruby so much, she`s the only comedienne who can literally make me cry with laughter. God bless you Ruby

Jaguar is the name of a large cat from Central America. Hence, Jag u er is the British pronunciation of a Central American word. Ergo, Jag u er is incorrect.

If people watched Top Gear for the cars, it'd still be just as popular as ever.

Top gear was good. Then it became a panto full of fake reactions and setups.

Didn’t he go on Top Gear just the other year tho to promote his new sitcom tho?

Cars are not boring. they are amazing. but that said. everyone deserves their own opinion.

I love Lee and I love Top Gear so this is really interesting to watch, I do understand where he's coming from but Top Gear is just hilarious

The beauty of Top Gear is that you don't have to like cars to enjoy it. It's just three arseholes being funny and doing entertainingly silly car-based challenges. What's not to like?

I love Top Gear but I can fully understand why people hate it! To each their own =)

As much as I love Lee Mack, I think his argument falls down a bit when he mentioned he owns a classic Triumph. If he really didn't care for cars as much as he claims, he wouldn't have gone to the lengths to acquire and maintain a vehicle like that.

Now, I Love What Lee Does, And i Was Expecting a More Convincing Argument, Then It All Went To Shit At The, (1:50) Mark When Lee Unashamedly Admitted To Driving a : 1966 Triumph TR4A IRS - But That's Not The Point !!!!!!! Well Yes Lee, That Is The Point My Friend . . . . : 0 )

Top gear is an entertaining comedic show that is wrapped together with a loss theme of cars. Personally I like cars but wouldn’t watch it without the humorous trio and their drastically different personalities

I just had regular interest in cars before I started watching Top Gear, but now cars make up a big part of my life. And I noticed that Lee who said he had little interest in cars , mentioned the year , make and model of his car in full, with a certain amount of pride. No interest in cars?

Lee Mack is letting the jealousy eat him alive.

Top gear used to be about cars, it told you their features, functionality, and whether it was a good buy or not. This was the day when Angela Rippon was a presenter. Then it turned into blowing up caravans and I never watched it after that.

Gotta love the sheep in the audience constantly clapping and cheering

And he was just on Top Gear.

03:20 the wideshot of those three makes it look like Clarkson, May, Hammond from left to right

Frank: What do you drive, then? Lee: As it happens, I drive a 1966 Triumph TR4A IRS....but that's not the point...(audience laughing) It's not the point, is it, because - Frank (incredulous): That's not true, is it? Lee: No, it is, yeah. LOL

Lee doesn't like Ruby, he has to be the loudest person in the room, she's his nemesis.

Serbian warlord Ratko Mladic has really let himself go.

It's really a combo of these reasons for me also, plus the general pompous blowhardery.

Lee Mack had to say it was an IRS version of the TR4. If that isn't car nerdy I don't know what is 🤣

Lee ended up going on Top Gear 😂

Yeah, well, Lee, you don't know or care how all the modern wonders around you work. At least there are people who do have an interest in that kind of stuff so that you can continued to be furnished the newest neat thing.

where can I find the rest of this episode?

I've seen Lee in a few pictures wearing what looks like a luxury watch. Does he care how that works? Would a 20 quid Casio not have done?

Lee Mack: "I don't like Top Gear" Also Lee Mack: [Appears on Top Gear]

Something tells me he just said that to be controversial. Especially as he says nobody is interested in cars.

Don't ask Jeremy Clarkson for a free car, because it might upset him? He does his best work when he's upset. That's like giving Lee Mack a barely believable statement on your panel show, and not expecting him to explain it, on the spot.

I like classic cars, and very few modern cars, and im not a car nut at all, but it was one of the funniest shows ever.

Top gear wasn't about cars. It's was about three mates having fun and doing stupid things. Clarkson saying anything to outrageous the politically correct. Cars were only props.

I'm not in to the middle aged man, scripted humour but I do love the camera work on top gear, really amazing shots.

Wasn't Lee Mack once the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear? If he puts the show into room 101 and he appeared on the show, doesn't he go into room 101 by default?!

Couldn’t agree more with you Lee 👏🏻

But I love Top Gear 😭 I don't even like cars, I just like the trio

I enjoyed top gear. Being a automobile enthusiasts they covered auto's that I wouldn't have any chance of driving, the chemistry between all three is also a big part of the show.

Excellent choice with the Triumph Lee! Those late 60s British working mans sports cars are beautiful, MGB GT too

Top Gear used to be about boring reviews mentioning how many cupholders a car had. Then they realized they could make a comedy show of sorts where they just fuck about and they all became millionaires.

People don't watch Top Gear for the cars, they watched it for James, Richard, Jeremy.

If I want to see and hear something usefull about cars i switch to “Harry’s Garage” on youtube. That’s a proper car program.

Top Gear is as much about cars as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is about maths and English

Three men wallowing in their midlife crisis.

Says the whole world finds cars boring then goes on to talk about how much he loves old 60's cars, kinda killed his whole argument right there

I bet the Would I Lie to You episode with Hammond was a bit awkward...

Some top gear numbers/facts can be useful in real life. Torque can be handy when you're on a motorway for example.

The thing I would put in room 101 would be people who brag about their holidays at dinner parties to people who haven’t been on holiday and can’t afford it

Then he went to guest in Top Gear oh the irony.

I recently returned to driving after 5 years. Traffic jams, red lights, tailgaters, bikers who come from nowhere, overtaking then slowing on motorways. I sold the car, and have gone back to public transport and taxis.

He says he has no interest in cars but as soon as he got some money to spend he went and bought a classic car because he found it beautiful, well that's the whole point isn't it? We love cars for their beauty, or technical prowess, or for their performance or simply because of how they make us feel when we drive them, that's why you see some dude with a big smile behind the wheel of a 2000s hatback with a dent in it, if that's what he makes him happy versus a million dollar supercar what's the problem? Yes car design has changed but if you say all modern cars look the same you clearly haven't seen enough cars, with different shapes, different engine placements, different interiors. I find cars fascinating but I can't afford an expensive one and the trio has made Top Gear into what it is now, as soon as they left some people have stopped watching the new generation of TopGear, I gave it a shot, it's a good show, but it's different from when the urangutan, the hamster and the spaniel were there. They spoke to car enthusiasts, not just technical specs of the cars, they did the challenges where the script was written in a such a way that is made 3 middle aged men in 3 old scrappers enjoyable to watch. So you grew attached to the jokes and the emotion of driving, instead of learning about a new front differential and gas mileage.

I went in expecting to be upset, but I agree. Cars are really boring. A few stand out, like the Toyota Hillux that couldn't be destroyed, or the Spyker C8 that I adore the aesthetic of, but when they sit down and talk about a new sportscar or whatever I switch off a bit (not all the way, cos I know the three will give us some good material from it). I love the challenges, the humour, the Stig, the three guys' dynamic, and even a few of the cars they've shown, but I don't care for cars as a subject.

YES i KNEW I LOVED YOU FOR A REASON LEE MACK

lee mack went on this series of top gear hahahahh

I personally love cars and loved top gear when it was these 3, hence I don’t love top gear anymore but I love the grand tour I think Lee has missed the point, I don’t have anything against him but saying you hate a show because it’s about something that doesn’t interest you is unfair, I don’t care about the kardashians, so I don’t watch keeping up with the kardashians, he doesn’t like cars clearly, so why would he 1) bother watching it, and 2) go on a show to speak about his disliking of the show, I agree with the host, even if you don’t like cars, it’s entertainment, because I agree, you can’t watch it to objectively gain a better understanding of cars, it’s Jeremy shouting about speed and power and sliding around the track in a cloud of smoke, as someone that has been into cars since I was 5 years old, top gear was actually one of the primary influences, but I would buy the top gear magazines as they had a section at the back where you could check out more of the statistics of the cars, like insurance groups and tax etc, I know that sounds boring but that’s how in depth I was, I could go out somewhere with my dad, he could point at a car and I could list different things about it

“Cars are boring” Yeah mate, like your jokes

It’s passed 3:29 min and i’m not starting to laught yet. What an incredible show.

I love Top Gear. I have to say, I was not interested in cars before I saw it, but now I sort of am. Not mechanics, but cars in general. That's how good I think it is. It's just about fun, much more than cars, I think. I mean, they don't talk about cars that much anymore, all that stuff Lee said about torque and suspension stuff, they don't insist on that, do they? They're not those bores you overhear in pubs going on and on about how many MPGs their fucking Jag can do, and how much torque it develops... They are really fun and funny blokes, as it happens the cars in Top Gear are accessories to the fun, that's pretty much it.

To be fair as a petrol head I have to admit most performance specs are completely pointless for driving on the road.

Love Lee Mack

Well, judging by the dislikes, a few people were quite butthurt haha XD I love Lee Mack and Top Gear (though I havent seen recent series that some people claim have become less good), but TG is NOT the best show on telly, that's QI, even Clarkson said that once :D

In my 24 years of watching all sorts of american media, actors, hosts, people from USA, i must say that this woman *by FAR* has an accent that is so annoyingly american that i cannot take it.

He finds cars boring but has a car collection?

I think Lee and Top Gear are both hilarious! And cars are not boring. Lee’s wrong on this one.

He owns a vintage classic car.... ruins the whole "I find it boring" narrative.

Watching actual comedians shit on top gear is one of my new favourite hobbies.

Personally I love classic cars and bikes and aircraft. I have absolutely no interest in the wall to wall cooking programs that are always on TV . Can there be anything more boring than watching someone make a cake , nice to eat though 😁 The original Top gear with Clarkson May and Hammond has more entertainment in one episode than the whole combined series of master chef or cake making with Mary berry etc , it’s all down to what interests you have . Each to their own .

I wish more people would understand the divide between what you want in real life and dealing with what is real life. You are never going to fall on one side or the other. Balance is a good thing and there is no point, nor does it make any sense for life to be simple, certain and straight-forward. If anything, it’s a mess, but that doesn’t have to be a nightmare. I can’t see people returning back to peace and quiet, but both ways of living can co-exist.

How odd. TG is a comedy basically 🤣

He's a comedian making jokes.

Like what Jeremy Clarkson said back in Top Gear if a car show is just talking about cars it would be very boring and bland, Just look at 5th Gear.

Its better than your program not going out !

Hates TopGear, loves The Grand Tour 😂

He must of forgot how much he hated it when later he appeared on it talking about his. Car collection

RIP Dave Myers x

People in the comments logic "I like Lee Mack..I like Top Gear..Lee Mack doesn't like Top Gear..I don't like Lee Mack anymore.." Mongs.
