Mock the Week.

I'm not sure what the c**** name is (Jack Whitehall ) but his incitement to violence can be seen at 00.33 sec on the link below.

This cretin says it with real hate in his voice, I'm sure the BBC will love to receive the complaints, don't disappoint them.

    Given the show and the other comments made it's pretty clear to me it isn't meant to be taken seriously - otherwise we should be very concerned about iPods being raped...

    It's what they said about racism masquerading as comedy in the 60's and 70's .

    Your view is very simplistic ... I'm not even going to bother arguing.

    My iPod has been traumatised by this evil show. It now refuses to get in my car in case something unspeakable happens to it.

    Maybe, but I think people should wake up to institutionalised bigotry and discrimination, it effect us all.

    I apolgise for any offence caused.

    Mock the week has a go at absolutely everyone and so does Clarkson.

    And sometimes they're very funny.

    The Beeb hatred of cyclists is endemic. From sneering Jeremy Vine, James Martin to that oaf Clarkson. It is also the same at local news level as well. The cycle hating content of the Beeb no longer shocks me as I believe most of them are just plain ignorant. I don't think anyone at the Beeb has ever been on a bike, save for Paxman. This is probably why he doesn't take any crap.

    Clarkson is at least funny - this guy is just a t*sser - not worth getting worked up about - no one will remember who he was in two years time

    They have great fun winding up people who take themsleves a bit too seriously :wink: . A mate of mine who thinks I've gone a bit nuts over cycling sent me this link, had to laugh:-

    Top Gear ran a commuter challenge. Hammond is a keen cyclist and it must have been clear that he would beat the others hands down but they put him on a bike and did it anyway.
    So not too anti-bike, then.

    Jack Whitehall, eh? Wheeling out there big guns then. I think we can handle him and his 'comedy'. And I really don't think he has any influence on motorists. Just googled him, and he's barely old enough to buy his own drinks. I really don't think we need trouble ourselves.

    A bit of light hearted comedy is hardly the biggest threat to us. Get over your victim status for christ's sake. Just listen to yourself. :P

    Personally, I don't class most of the stupid attitudes expressed to cycling/cyclists as bigotry. Most drivers, even the impatient and careless ones, don't hate cyclists any more than they hate pedestrians - most of them rode a bike at some point in their lives. It just comes down to many people being impatient, selfish and short-sighted in whatever mode of transport they use, whether it's a car, bike, motorcycle or their own two feet.

    Oh come on, he is not inciting violence.

    He is the weakest contributor to the sketch (too many words/not enough funny) but some are very good.

    Completely agree, this is the key reason any of us have problems on the road, if every one learned to relax and gained some patience deaths/injuries would plummet.

    Fat chance.

    Really, if you are this easily offended / outraged you should probably stop watching TV.

    This. Especially mock the week, family guy & south park etc etc etc.

    The BBC aren't anti-cyclist, put the car vs bike thoughts back in the stupid comment box.

    Not sure I can agree that racism is in any way comparable to a third rate comedian hamming up a dislike of cyclists for a low rent comedy skit.

    And don't 'apologise for any offense caused' when you called someone a fucking idiot. Clearly that was your intention so either MTFU and stick to your guns or STFU.

    I`ve been driving for 28 years and I can honestly say that the standard of driving on the roads now completely astounds me and it really isn`t just the world against cyclists. As a previous poster said, if people would just relax a bit more and show a bit more courtesy to other road users then the roads would work a lot better

    lol

    Talk about taking things too seriously!!! Lucky Frankie Boyle's no longer on the show, not sure you could handle his comments without having a full scale protest/war against the beeb.

    Anyway, as satire goes us cyclist are easy targets, just like short people, ginger people, men, women, the disabled etc....... Lighten up :roll:

    I think Andy Manc needs to stop exhibiting so much Bigotry against anyone who isn't as into their bikes as he is, from calling all car drivers c**ts to comparing this to racism....or he'll get us all a bad name!

    Andy,

    If your logic is taken up by other groups, then you are effectively outlawing all forms of comedy.

    Comedy by its very nature is poking fun at some group or individual/

    Let's relax a bit....here are a few of the best one liners from the one and only JC (Jeremy Clarkson) :wink: . Should have the Beeb's complaints department scratching their heads wondering why the switchboard is suddenly besieged by a 'Mr. Angry' from Manchester :lol: At least it'll keep him occupied for a bit.

    "I'm sorry, but having a DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. If you've got even half a scrotum it's not going to happen."


    "We start tonight with the highlight of my childhood. It's the Ladybird Book of Motorcars from 1963, and as you would imagine it's full of rubbish really. Just endless boring grey shapes, until you get to page 40, where you find the Maserati 3500 GT. Now this for me, when I was little, was like kind of Jordan and Cameron Diaz. In a bath together. With a Lightning jet fighter. And lots of jelly."


    About the Porsche Cayman S: "There are many things I'd rather be doing than driving it, including waiting for Bernard Manning to come off stage in a sweaty nightclub, and then licking his back clean."


    ..."the last time someone was as wrong as you, was when a politician stepped off an aeroplane in 1938 waving a piece of paper in the air saying there will be no war with Germany"


    "America: 250 million w * nkers living in a country with no word for w * nker"


    On the Alfa Romeo Brera... "I only have to imagine this in black, with tan leather and I'm nursing a semi!"


    Illustrating the lack of power of a Boxster - 'It couldn't pull a greased stick out of a pig's bottom'


    "The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite"

    "Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you."

    'The air conditioning in Lambos used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw'

    "Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what... BEING STABBED?"

    "The only person to ever look good in the back of a 4-seater convertible was Adolf Hitler"

    (Fed up during the caravanning trip): "You aren't allowed to have a party, you aren't allowed to have music, you aren't allowed to play ball games, you aren't allowed to have a camp fire, you have to park within two feet of a post, you have to keep quiet, you have to be in bed by eleven. This is not a holiday, it's a concentration camp!"

    "This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that's much to shout about. That's like saying "Ooh good I've got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases."

    (Mercedes CLs55): "Braking in this car is so brutal, it would be less painful to actually hit the tree you were trying to miss."

    "I don't understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?"

    "I was reading The Mirror the other day and came across a letter from a reader who wrote, 'I was riding my bike to work when this red Ferrari pulled up next to me. Out of the window, Jeremy Clarkson shouted 'Get a car', and drove off.' What I actually said was, 'Get a car you hatchet faced, leaf-eating Nazi."

    "Britain's nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe...probably because they don't have wheel-chair access"

    "Much more of a hoot to drive than you might imagine. Think of it, if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under the tweed. I do, and it helps."

    "If we are being honest HIV is a pathetic virus, it can only live in the air for 6 seconds and it takes 10 years to do what ebola does to you in 10 days!"

    "Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It's like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You'd just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke's sweaty face."

    "you can't have this car with a diesel, its like saying, I wont go to stringfellows tonight, I'll get my mum to give me a lapdance, she's a woman!"

    Tonight, the new Viper, which is the American equivalent of a sports car... In the same way, I guess, that George Bush is the equivalent of a President.


    Jeremy said this of the Porsche Cayenne! "Honestly, I have seen more attractive gangrenous wounds than this. It has the sex appeal of a camel with gingivitis."


    "Now we get quite a lot of complaints that we don't feature enough affordable cars on the show......so we'll kick off tonight with the cheapest Ferrari of them all!"

    On the Lotus Elise: "This car is more fun than the entire French Air Force crashing into a firework factory."

    "Now as you can see I lost the battle to have two engines on the back because of three very important reasons. One: weight. This is 600 Lbs and that's the same as having a whole American sitting on the tailgate..."

    In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was.

    "the DB9 has rear seats but no mammal yet created, not even when God was on the LSD trip that gave us the pink flamingo, could fit into them."

    Assessing Hammond's crash:
    Clarkson: "you can see from the tape that the tyre is starting to come apart. Now why didn't you spot that?!"
    Hammond: "I had a lot on: I was doing 288 mph."
    Clarkson: "What do you mean you had a lot on? I can be in the office on the phone, doing the paperwork, kids are shouting at me, wife etc, but if a lion walks in, I'm going to notice it!"


    "There are footballers wives that would be happy with this quality of stitching... On their face"


    "I don't often agree with the RSPCA as I believe it is an animals duty to be on my plate at supper time"
    "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]
