It's The Little Things

[ulstermayniac]

Let's talk about our favourite or the funniest bits of TG, the little things that just happen that make you smile and laugh.

I am watching the racing motorhomes film and James has just grabbed a frying pan and thrusted his arm out of the window and started banging on the motorhome that was trying to ram him off the track. The clanking noise combined with James' baching movements is just very funny.

Also, when Jeremy and James are in London, trying to use the parking metres and they were both reading the foreign words on the display and at the same time they both shouted out 'Pagmento!' in a faux Italian accent, that makes me laugh a lot too.

What other bits like those do you guys like?

[ulstermayniac]

Also, when Richard is on his horse, trying to catch Jeremy in his fox-car, he is going through the forest and then shouts out 'Ow A tree!!' and then later on he says 'I've never jumped, I've never done that before' and he seemed genuinely worried. Poor chap.

Those sideways glances James does to the camera.
Especially when he realises what he's done wrong when the Aston wont start.

Also my heart skips a beat when he turns to the camera and smiles

[Liz]

I like the way Jeremy and Richard say 'Ma', instead of 'My'

And when Jeremy and/or Richard insult James, and he just pauses, ignores them, and carries on! ;D

[ulstermayniac]

When that person shouted at James through his £10k Lambo and he said "No, it's not a kit car, it's a Lamborghini, phillistine." the disgusted expression on his face then was pariceless!

[ulstermayniac]

Also when James was talking about a Rolls Royce and he said in his faux German accent 'This car is nicht for the fingerpoken', that was funny.

I remember him saying that but I can't remember what episode it was in, can anyone help me on that one?

[maureen]

I used to love it in older episodes when Jeremy would annoy or agravate James and James would throw something at him.

[ulstermayniac]

Did he really?!

[24octane]

In the roadworks episode (S9E01), James throws his helmet at him, not too long after that he destroys The Megaphone of Inspiration.

I love Richard's noises of panic/frustration/whatever, as demonstrated when the 'Damper Van' is about to go down in the reservoir. That always makes me chuckle just a little bit.

[ladyblue]

There is something funny about the look James gives to the camera just before the clip with Miss Jackie Stewart shows him how to reduce his track times.

[maureen]

There was also the time that James and Richard were racing Jeremy to the ski resort in Switzerland. As soon as they spotted each other, James threw his suitcase and Jeremy's car. ;D ;D ;D

I'll never forget the one moment that really still makes me laugh. Richard announcing at the top of his lungs, "I AM A DRIVING GOD!!!" and the way his head wriggled in that one.

[jacqui]

I love the way James (and this is going to be difficult to describe as its a visual thing) says "No" haveing previously lent back a little and throws his head forward as he says it.

Hope that makes sense

[maureen]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. He cracks me up when he does that. ;D

[jacqui]

Oh good - I love it makes me laugh too ;D

[TheDaisy]

Jeremy's 'Muttley' laugh. TOH does that too, and it cracks me up every time.

Agree Daisy ;D
James' laugh can have me stitches too - especially apparent in his adventures with Oz. My mates say I laugh just like him when I get started I take it as a compliment

[ulstermayniac]

I love it when Jeremy is signing off the show, he looks into the camera and says goodbye and smiles and gives a little wink. OH WOW!! It's like he is just winking just at you!!

*shivers* I love it!!

[Vixen]

My fave bit is in the English V Germans ep, when Richard beats the guy in the suit. When he opens the door and just shouts 'YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!' in his face ;D

Oh, and the smile in Inky's avatar.... *swoon*

Yes! That's a good one.
And the bit at the art gallery, when James says 'Their brains are BIG'.

I know exactly what you mean jacqui

And I agree UM, that last wink to camera does feel very personal!

When Jezza is scared of something like the monkeys in the safari park. And speaking of which, I love when Richard yells out "That's lion porn!" Gets me every time.

Richard's horse really chipped in (got to close) to that first fence. He had a much easuer time when horse was in stride over the second
fence. Used to foxhunt many moons ago. Not for the sport mind you, for the constant nips off certain "cool" adults flasks. ;D

I always laugh at James in the background shot of Jeremy telling
Richard he's built the mini stopping wall on the wrong side of the ski jump. James is doubled over, stumbling around he's laughing SO hard. (Olympics)

And then there's the Winnebago scene on the Bonneville salt flats.
Clarkson....I know it's you,,,,,I'm on the throne.......Your tidying that up! ;D ;D -j

[ulstermayniac]

Yes! The way he says what he does, 'Infantile pillock' so definite and funny.
