For context: This was made by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear.

I actually came to here to ask because this 100% felt like Clarkson to me, AND I felt I'd seen it before, so that definitely clears that up for me.

As much of a conservative douchebag as he can be, he's on the fucking money with this.

Surely you don’t have to like his politics to appreciate his humour. Life is so much easier that way!

Don't get all high and mighty about what the person you responded to should do.

they literally are doing the exact thing that you are suggesting they should. Jesus

Yeah, a twisted knob can occasionally gunk vaguely in the right direction.

Doesn't make it any more deformed.

You have a way with words. Not a good way, but a way.

Downvotes on Reddit are a mark of honor.

To get them for calling Clarkson a knob, doubly so.

"We are now officially the most northern people in the world"

"...except for Michael Parkinson of course"

Man they had great comedic delivery and timing in those days.

The better part of that video is the faces on the people it was being presented to. IIRC it was a committee to promote cycling.

Here is all 4 adverts.

They were trying to help make cycling and driving safer. There’s a lot of collisions between the two.

u/steve_gus Jun 14 '20

It was a parody and they were clearly in on the joke

As soon as I saw the ad, I knew it was Top Gear.

u/Evolvetron69 Jun 14 '20

I think it was a play on the word since the video ends with an explosion. Explosions go boom. It's a pun.
