wicka posted:The problem with Top Gear/new bad show is that they realized everyone loved the fake stuff the most. So now everything is super tightly scripted, and they’re all awful actors. What? It was more like they realized how big a hit the 1500 quid porsche challenge was with all the impromptu poo poo that happened from naturally filming it and tried to recreate the same poo poo over and over this time via script form rather than letting it to chance. If you watch that predecessor to the 1500 quid challenge it was them buying 3 boring cars and driving it across the UK or whatever and back. It was dull and nothing happened.

I once read through a Molex connectors catalogue from the 90s that I came across at work. It was then that I realized the joys of Molex and how they enhance my everyday life. Molex, for all your connectivity needs.

My gut feeling is that they hit gold on the cheap car challenges early one with some crazy poo poo happening to some cars and then felt pressured to repeat that kind of excitement in later series even if it meant forcing it.

You want more Mansells passing out trying to push their out-of-fuel cars across the line and more Nelson Piquets passing out on the podium and more Senna's having to be lifted out of their own car because their arms gave out like 20 laps ago.

1500 wants cars so difficult to drive and so demanding that drivers would have to be rotated out every 3 months because the brutality of them would cause severe fractures and organ failure after a single race.

I want a doctor to hold a press conference saying that unless Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen stop driving they're going to die from internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, I then want them both to say they will keep racing.

DOCTOR: Niki, you have to stop racing.... you're a burnt testicle! LAUDA: Wir sind uns im klaren, daß dieser Krieg ja nur damit enden könnte, daß entweder die germanischen Völker ausgerottet werden, oder das Judentum aus Europa verschwindet. Ich habe am 1. September 1939 [sic] im Deutschen Reichstag es schon ausgesprochen. . . daß dieser Krieg nicht so ausgehen wird, wie die Juden sich es vorstellen, nämlich daß die europäischen arischen Völker ausgerottet werden, sondern daß das Ergebnis dieses Krieges die Vernichtung des Judentums ist. Zum erstenmal werden nicht andere allein verbluten, sondern zum erstenmal wird diesesmal das echt altjüdische Gesetz angewendet: Aug' um Aug', Zahn um Zahn!
