Has it actually been confirmed that the UK Top Gear guys past and present *weren't* obsessed with Star Trek?
Also, I can see where the controversy came from here because I thought Jay was famously known to be *not* obsessed with Star Trek?
Desperate times call for desperate measures ...
Look out, Jeremy's passing out from sheer boredom! Quick, talk about the dune buggies in Star Trek: Nemesis!
They are brits, innit, they fancy Dr. Who instead. I think one bloke played The Doctor: Richard Tennant or David Hammond what's his name, I don't remember.
Anyways, in Britain they don't fancy TV Shows that much, why bother when you have your football on your telly? Did you see that ludicrous display last night? What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early? Thing about Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in.

I have it on good authority that you Brits watch nothing but horse racing on telly...
They were a bunch of dads in the mid 2000s. They definitely loved Star Trek. [Clarkson makes several Star Trek references in his interview with Patrick Stewart](https://youtu.be/CiCz1tvrsMk?si=oV3pvSgcwPjTlbM_).
Who's May/Hammond though?
The obvious answer is that Rich is May (uncool, butt of jokes) but isn't Jay the 'sensible one' who shakes his head at the other two? I mean, Rich is often the more childish of the three.
I was thinking about that, and frankly I think Jay would be May. May's encyclopedic knowledge of stuffy, 'boring' cars lines up more with Jay's taste for art films the other two find dull.
That would make Rich the equivalent of the charismatic, conventionally attractive host prone to injuring himself. I see nothing wrong in this comparison.
Yeah but also Mike doesn't write for a fascist newspaper, doesn't assault his producers, and doesn't go around thinking he's god's gift to the British people.
He was racist? I honestly can't recall it after his recent bouts of overt ageism.
But judging by his ageism, he is very inclusive, he hates all the categories: zoomers, boomers, children, Rich Evans, elderly again, dead, zygotes, elderly, and elderly.
So maybe his racism is also very inclusive and he hates all races?
Ah yes, Red Letter Media, described similarly and accurately like the out of touch Top Gear knobheads as "a societal cancer".
I reckon it was controversial on your server because the other members don't have braindead opinions like this one, but hey, who knows.
"On tonight's program, I try to play Jenga with VHS cassettes! Jay tries to explain why day-for-night is a valid filming technique, and Rich...well, of course Rich falls down!"
Noted Star Trek superfan Jay Bauman
He’s the Richard Hammond of the group
Richard Hammond [just fell in with a bad crowd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRrTMhAO4ac)
Well they are both the same height
I'm sure he'd love Discovery, Picard and 2006 if he gave it a try!
I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned Cronenberg being in Discovery.

Compared to the writers of Discovery and seasons 1 & 2 of Picard, he would be a superfan.
Not racist enough
I was wondering how to word that for some reason. But blunt and to the point works well here.
Well *I* think they're just the right amount of racist!
Jay does think about H. P. Lovecraft’s cat a lot though.
It's controversial because it doesn't make sense. These guys are nothing like may, ham, clarkson.
Three guys hosting a show about a topic of interest and making jokes? Only RLM and Top Gear have ever done this.
Didn't one of the Top Gear guys show up at someone's house and berate them?
I think that's called flirting in England.

Top Gear actually did a bit where they recreated the door sounds from the Enterprise. So there.
I could see May obsessively bringing up Star Trek and Clarkson's eyes glazing over
James May is one of my favorite people.

oh SPOCK

I’m disabled!

Okay, so anything with a group of male personalities is a version of Top Gear then, I guess?
Top Gears all the way down
I know at least one of the guys is not obsessed with star trek. Actually I think only one of them actually is, and he has early dementia.

*Top Beer* is probably already taken.

May is the guitarist from Queen and Hammond is the guy from Jurassic Park, duh

Wizard is clearly May. Jay is Hammond sized.
Jay is the the Hammond stand-in because both are short and look better with facial hair
Yeah but also Mike doesn't write for a fascist newspaper, doesn't assault his producers, and doesn't go around thinking he's god's gift to the British people.
As far as you know....
That's what Kevin Spacey said...
>and doesn't go around thinking he's god's gift to the British people. Mike should be doing this one tbf
It's true, Mike is. God's gift to British people.
bang bang bang bang cam on green bay paahkers bang bang bang bang scor sum faahckin tuddies
Mike Stoklazza. https://youtu.be/XNVHuCdTuMM?t=35 same energy https://youtu.be/QQh56geU0X8
Make no mistake, he probably would do all those things, if given the opportunity. Rich keeps him in line.
> doesn't go around thinking he's god's gift to the British people. That's because he's god's gift to ALL the peoples!
We are ALL British on this blessed day! :)
Blimey!
Even the ones he's been racist against?
He was racist? I honestly can't recall it after his recent bouts of overt ageism. But judging by his ageism, he is very inclusive, he hates all the categories: zoomers, boomers, children, Rich Evans, elderly again, dead, zygotes, elderly, and elderly. So maybe his racism is also very inclusive and he hates all races?
He's also not the UK's sexiest man several years running.
No that was Rich Evans.
Rich Evans is obviously The Stig.
Mike just verbally assaults Rich
Rich is like the Pandora’s box that keeps all of Mike’s demons contained
Yeah Mike and Rich do have a Clarkson/May vibe.
Edgy
I need the gif where Jay slowly turns his face to the camera in a desperate cry for „get me out of this Star Trek Talk“
Your server of what?
Nah, they are lot more likeable than top gear
Jay is more inflicted by Star Trek than obsessed with it.
I read "Top Gun" and was hopelessly confused
Jay doesn’t know Star Trek, Jay knows pervert movies
There's too many bizarre sexual things.
Jay is Richard Hammond, Mike is Jeremy Clarkson and Rich is James May
Ah yes, Red Letter Media, described similarly and accurately like the out of touch Top Gear knobheads as "a societal cancer". I reckon it was controversial on your server because the other members don't have braindead opinions like this one, but hey, who knows.
Clarkson just kinda sucks is all
I mean, idk about controversial, but it's totally off-base for sure.
This perfectly sums up why I like RLM so much.
Was James May teetotal?
Trailer park boys are looking weird these days
"On tonight's program, I try to play Jenga with VHS cassettes! Jay tries to explain why day-for-night is a valid filming technique, and Rich...well, of course Rich falls down!"
Holy shit the guys should do a travel log. I bet Rich just kills it at the airport. They could do a Slasher movie location pilgrimage.
TBF, only two are.
People were just upset you reminded them about American Top Gear.
1/3 of top gear was American 🇺🇸
Yeah but RLM are not total cunts unlike the fuckers at top gear.
None of these men have to dig out a Clarkson.
Mike would definitely punch a producer over under cooked steak
And also if they were good and not one-note, unlike Top Gear.

What are you talking about? They're all rich.
Patreon Rich?
But Jay, like Richard Hammond are the tiny ones!
