I was talking with some guys I work with one morning and one guy said he prefers Top Gear on the history channel over the BBC one because he hates James May.

I always kinda felt bad for Hammond, you know just because he is so short, and both James and Jezza are 6 ft or over, depending on their shoes at the time.

And he is also brain damaged now.

He came back after his accident, but not really. It is more like he is playing the Hammond character people have shown him on old Top Gear episodes.

it's a big fake story where everyone in the audience is in on the fact that it's a big fake story (and if you're not, he stops half-way through to shout "NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED" at the audience before continuing on) because everyone who goes to see Stewart Lee is a comedy hipster who wants to see him deconstruct the artform as the punchline and not perform actual jokes

the whole "three levels removed from a funny thing" concept is largely only people with goons and broadsheet journalists, but it's equally hilarious that people are able to watch him and be willing to take it at face value

the last show of his I saw opened with five full minutes of him running around in circles on stage and loving with his mic stand to uproarious laughter from the audience because it's just like what a comedian poor people watch would do, but he's doing it ironically

it's one of my favourite shows, A++++

loving hell, didn't know who this was until now. I just want to cave his face in. He could be talking about the miracle of one man saving 200 disabled children from a terrorist attack, and how he lost his entire family to cancer, and I'd STILL WANT TO PUNCH HIS loving FACE IN. JESUS gently caress. This is in my top 3 of most offensive things I have seen on the internet. He is about as funny as being repeatedly kicked in the balls whilst being forced to watch re-runs of Eldorado.

I think Clarkson is like 6 foot 5....Hammond is only 5 foot 6....so nearly a foot difference....jeez.

EDIT: They are, so I guess that's part of the gag. Hammond's wife is mildy fuckable, and Clarkson's...is definitely not.

I think the challenge was for a good cause, the issue I had was his adult kids calling him "Daddy"

This is normal with posh/upperclass people. I had a customer who wanted a repair done on a guitar, when I finished it the guy picked it up and said "Oh this is lovely! Daddy will be ever so pleased". This guy was easily in his mid-40's. It creeped me out.

I've also met Stewart Lee and he's not as smug in person. He walked into me around Bath and we ended up chatting about Alan Moore for 5 minutes. True story.

he's been involved in making comedy since the 90s, sometimes alongside other noted comedy writers such as armando iannuci and chris morris so i'm guessing that's pretty self-evident

Your human mentality cries out for vengeance and thrives on the violence you say you can hardly endure.
you guys that hate stewart lee should at least be aware that he's 100% deliberately trying to be an unfunny, narcissistic and pretentious rear end in a top hat character

you shoudl also watch comedy vehicle season 3 because it's probably the best one yet, his UKIP bit is brilliant, drags on too long and becomes unfunny, becomes funny because it's dragged out so long and then gets all weird and surreal
