[Misc] Clarkson what do you think of him?

[Icy Gull]

Well?

 

[Swansman]

I have a friend who has a car and says he is shithouse

He loves Alfas so your Skoda driving mate is wrong

 

[Bozza]

I largely like him.

I suspect CLARKSON is largely an act he puts on, with considerable success, whilst Jeremy Clarkson is probably a decent chap. I certainly think he comes across well int the Farm series and I find the Grand Tour a good watch, if often quite predictable.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Who?

 

[Doc Lynam]

I remember a comic saying the worst gig ever hey got hired for was a posh meal in London. Clarkson was in the audience and proceeded to try to work out the punch lines and heckle him. When the comic turned on him the room sided with the golden boy Jeezer. Clarkson just sounds like a ****.
And who needs to sing a racist song when reviewing cars and calling people slopes?

This, I suspect that he has found a way to be outrageous and offensive for money and exposure and he is milking it. Sometimes as he dances around the line he steps over it and goes too far.

Either that or he is actually a bellend and just happened to get paid handsomely for it.

Certainly makes good TV though.

I think he's a dinosour and a f***ing twat.

he was a good journalist but fame/money and the trappings have just given him too much license to be an utter bell end.

I'm fairly sure most of it is an act, but if he's not a weapons grade cockwomble, why would you do it? Even his daughter thinks he's a twat. case closed.

 

[jimhigham]

Other - not bothered.

This.

He used to be wry and knowing, an agent provocateur. Over the last few years he's gone full dickhead. Never go full dickhead.

 

[Icy Gull]

I should have added, I’m a car fan/I’m not a car fan to the options. I reckon most who like him also like motoring, those who don’t prefer a bike or a hike

 

[Justice]

The steak incident proves what a bellend he is.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Tedious

 

[Icy Gull]

Tedious

Why even open the thread then?

 

[BrianB]

An utter knobhead .
However , inadvertently with the help of Caleb and the farm manager has done a good job of highlighting the problems in farming today - that he was happy to help start..

 

[herecomesaregular]

Agree it's an act but a bloody tiresome one nowadays and it's still him, just dialed up a few notches. So, still a bellend much the same way as Piers Morgan is, imho.

 

[Motogull]

He's Crystal Palace in human form. Unsightly, uncultured, plain, in an undersexed position, messy irritating noise.

 

[BadFish]

I love how the discussion has morphed into, 'is he actually a bellend or just pretending to be one?'

Either way it's not great is it?

Can we change the poll options?

 

[Stat Brother]

This.

Well that took a turn...






...thanks.

He makes me chuckle, sometimes in a 'OMG, did he really just say that' kind of way, sometimes in a 'normal' way but in Clarksons Farm he gets a 'aw, he's alright really' vote from me. Yes obviously he has gone way to far at times but I'm a forgiving type of person.
