Carnage a Trois

Surprised no one is discussing it.

Great episode and now I know why no one really buys French cars but the French. Didn't realize French society sees actually liking your car as Bourgeois and decadent. Eww.

Oui.

I watched it this morning with my 14 yo son and kept having to pause it because he was laughing so hard I couldn't hear it. Good stuff.

I actually Googled why the french hate their cars- and you know, I found discussions in quora which validate what was said on the show.

100% fact. It's a trip.

I didn't think it was one of their best efforts. Either that or I am getting tired of their schtick.

They did say awhile back part of the reason they are turning it down is that the material is getting stale. Running out of ideas.

Hammond had some really funny lines in this one - as opposed to being the oafish doof.

Can anyone explain the napkin over the head during meals?

I think it was a jab at French abstract concepts. Just, weird.

I do like all the French philosophers as opposed to Australian ones , LOL

I think it has something to do with eating an endangered bird.

If anyone thinks anything in there was factual, well.... ah, got no time for this...
Some funny moments, but yes they are getting old and a bit stale... If you want good Clarkson, watch Clarkson's farm ! no, really, it's good !

I've tried watching but can never get past Clarkson's jackass personality - regardless of whether it's real or "a character" he plays.
