And this is why Top Gear USA is not funny - the show is "geared" to the lowest common denominators (Denham and Palero).

you know when you arrive at a party late, and everyone's been drinking for a while?

the jokes they are telling, to which everyone's laughing to.. just doesn't seem as funny to you?

See thats where you are wrong, I think the joke could be funny if someone else told it











In England ,about four pints in, then yea maybe it might be .

I get British humor you all are a bunch of smart asses with stiff upper lips, witty and dry as dirt.

ok, i just watched the DVR of the latest episode with the trucks going through Alaska, and I have to say, I really enjoyed the episode.

I think the team finally hit their stride here. They felt natural.. it didn't have the wit of the brit version, but was entertaining on their own american merit.
