The British version of EVERYTHING America does is superior, apart from morbid obesity.

>>15888101
American Top Gear > British Top Gear > Australian Top Gear

>>15888101
especially politicians with bad hair

>>15888122
Finally, a fellow American top gears fan. It was pretty comfy; three friends who talked a bunch of shit to each other travel across America. I really liked it; who cares if it's not the original

>>15888122
You forgot Canadian Top Gear
Literally all we could afford was a bicycle with a lawnmower engine attached, though

>>15888137
I didn't know Canadians were hillbillies, I might actually like them.

>>15888089
>JEWS!!
Fuck off back to /pol/ faggot.

>>15888128
Ok chud

Help us, yuropoors. We're being forced to watch trashy TV, we have no other choices. They're doing this to us on purpose.

>>15888101
We made the office funny

Outside of the city? Quite so, yes. One of my managers is this cool old lady who grows her own weed
Muskoka is pretty touristy in the summer but living here is really fun

>>15888089
Favorite episodes? For me, it's Black Pearl

>tfw the instant dislike and terrible first impression Gordon gets from David, one of the owners
>tfw Gordon drops the entire structure of his show during the last 5 minutes and spends it completely admonishing one of the owners who's acted like a total dick the entire time

>>15888363
lmao steven's a cute

>>15888361
When do the tourist start to thin out in Muskoka, around October?

>>15888101
>The Office
Enough said no matter how popular it is and I know how frowned upon that is here.

>>15888408
Do you think he pounds a lot of female vagina?

>>15888435
I once worked with a guy I thought was a total flamer. Classic high pitched voice, spoke with his hands, all that kind of stuff.
Later found out he pulled cooch left and right thanks to his very accessible, flamboyant personality that a lot of gay men have. I could believe that if steven doesn't bat for the other team he gets it on the reg

>>15888363
wait hold on though
is david right? what is the difference between a maine and canadian lobster? I understand the "false advertising" angle, but realistically do they taste different?

>>15888490
price. the dude was ripping off customers.

>>15888422
Generally end of October to beginning of May is pretty un-touristy

>>15888504
oh yeah good point, ramsay was talking about how he uses the canadian for filler or whatever in pasta.
but is there a difference in the quality of the meat, something in how they're processed? david is right that they're the same species in the same waters or is it purely marketing that "maine lobster" is better than "canadian"?

>>15888512
Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out one winter.

>>15888537
not sure, I'm pretty far from the ocean and don't know much about seafood. want to know about how crawfish is better from the creeks where I am from, in comparison to the shit they eat Louisiana, I can fill you in?

>>15888577
hell yeah dude, spill it

>>15888089
very interesting because based on your description i think i'd much rather watch the american version, which is accurate.

>>15888588
They get plenty of spunk and meth

>>15888588
the creeks here are clear running water with rock bottoms, and in LA they raise them in big muddy, presumable man made ponds where they swim in their shit all day. factory farming is necessary to keep all of these pieces of shit humans alive, but it's god awful tasting food. one of the big foods that people complain about not liking, but never had one killed in the wild, that taste fucking phenomenal, is turkey. I would highly recommend you killing you're own bird this turkey day if you've never had one. if that's not really an option, I think some people sell them.

>>15888629
Turkey hunter here, and while I love most game I kill, wild turkey isn’t as good as mass factory farmed

>>15888629
interesting, I guess that makes sense. I'm in the midwest with a decent creek system and I know a lot of folks love the crawdads they get vs what's around elsewhere

>>15888690
blimey mate, you gotta be right buggered to think that

>british version

Everything after that is hot garbage

>>15888845
Ok chud

>>15888845
agreed, of course retarded cunts will lash out at anything remotely non-contrarian.

I am English and I will admit the American version is better, no one watches Gordon for anything else but angry scottish noises
When was the last time you heard someone bring up the F-Word? Exactly

>>15888537
Mainer here, there's absolutely no difference in quality, only branding. It's cheaper for me to get it locally, but most of the time you're paying for the name Maine lobster. Also, climate change is pushing the range of habitable waters for lobster further north. Maine lobster could become a thing of the past. A lot of companies are looking at introducing abalone as a replacement.

>>15888903
The USA version has these annoying sound cues and music that plays constantly throughout the episode. I'm convinced the sound designers are laughing at us because I can't imagine anyone appreciating this obnoxious shit.
As an American I like the UK episodes better solely for that reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFtLvkqHIds

>>15888953
I've watched the UK version just as much as the US, they both have shitty music that plays the entire time.

>>15888876
Is it your goal to go into every single thread on this board and say this randomly to people that mostly don't even act like /pol/tards?
Here have a (You) seems like most don't even respond to you anymore.

>>15888993
There's shitty stock music but it's much less prevalent. In the US version of the show every time theres an argument happening or anything confrontational the show plays the same tense music track it plays in every episode and drops the violin screech every 20 seconds.

>>15889045
same frequency, I don't think you've actually watched the show, you're just repeating what you've read in the youtube comments and are trying to sound cool

>>15889045
This, I like the US version because, let's be honest, the people going apeshit is entertaining but Jesus, after a few episodes it just starts to melt my brain with the fast cuts and dramatic music, while the UK version is a perfect background noise documentary I can leave on for hours.

>>15889036
Ok chud

>>15889056
Shit bait or you are to retarded to recognize some of your states and thought that's the UK.

Lmao I just looked it up and that fat Mexican couldn’t keep it open long enough for the episode to air and a stabbing ha[penes there

>>15888809

>>15889066
Yup, I can binge the UK version for a few hours but I can't watch more than one US episode at a time

>>15888101
The British version of Masterchef is boring. I dislike how They like to be overly emotional on American tv, of course. Everyone does.

My favorite episode is the one that got pulled because the owners got so pissed about how bad they looked, they sued Gordon and Fox, so now you can't find it on youtube/fox's website anymore

https://nola.verylocal.com/oceana-grill-sues-gordon-ramsay-over-old-kitchen-nightmares-episode/10242/

>owners are two fat Arabic guys who run a seafood restaurant in New Orleans
>both of them are constantly exploding in anger and lashing out at their staff; people are constantly getting fired only to magically get rehired days later
>Chef is a fat slovenly mess, can't cook or clean to save his life, and when he gets nervous/anxious he starts twitching and stuttering

This one has it all

If americans didn't appreciate obnoxious shit it wouldn't have been a ratings hit.

>>15890760
those numbers are false, most of them are from bots

>>15889597
Look at the people running that restaurant there's no way they have a dish "too spicy"

same species but canadian lobsters have harder shell.

>>15888923
Maine lobster is slightly sweeter but most people cant tell the difference.

>>15891457
American one is kitchen nightmares, the other one is just kitchen

>>15888809
Cope harder, mutt

>>15889100
Him refusing to call Gordon English because he wasn't born there is about as English as it gets.

>>15890743
water is wet

you could tell that guys farts smelled like semen the moment he started talking

>>15891487
It's really not. The waters off of Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia are basically identical to those off of Maine, and in a lot of areas are less polluted. Same species of lobster, growing in the same conditions. The only difference is the imaginary line of the international border. What if a lobster just off the coast of Eastport moves a couple miles north and is then caught? Is it suddenly less sweet because it's no longer a "Maine" lobster?

>>15888089

The British show was an interesting concept, produced nicely and well considered approach.

The American version is rancid offal, just like all the other diarrhoea reality show bullshit that they produce. This shit is completely unwatchable, nonsense at best, and at worst, exploitative.

>>15888258

This is different though. It's a reflection of a much deeper, more concrete rule: If you remove Ricky Gervais from something, it will improve that thing.

>>15888242
who under 30 watches tv anymore?

>>15888124
LOL I'm posting this to Facebook!

>>15888839
Not a Gervais fan at all but The Office is legendary and Extras is decent.

>>15888206
>kittens and puppies it's all their fault

there was a good american one with an old couple who were well meaning but incompetent, with their run down college town hotel. they couldn't afford a chef so they had the mail order bride doing sushi that took 2 hours to serve. the husband got rekt in a car accident so he couldn't do shit, and they were living in one of the hotel rooms.

>>15888206

What's your favourite episode /ck/?
I personally think the British version is superior.

>>15892251
I only watched the American version desu, didnt really care much for the restaurant/cooking advice in the British version especially since its mostly Gordon jacking himself off to his passion, where is your passion? We need to get that passion back into you.

Flemings for the bio hazard duck and the foil swan.
Moe and Rami because those guys were fucking clowns and I refuse to believe they werent putting up a show for TV.
The one with the fat spic owner where her ex boyfriend is the head chef and cooks a chicken he dropped in front of Gordon.
The Pajeets in episode one for how disgusting it was.
The Burger joint run by the son of an Australian mafia boss.
NINO
Amys Israeli money laundering company.

I like all of them desu, Ramsay is hilarious when he is funny and the show just hit the mark between freak owners, a wacky production and Ramsay getting angry.

>>15892295
>where is your passion
Right! The main reason why your restaurant is failing, is because you're not thinking about cooking 16 hours a day. STFU Gordon!

>>15892295
>The Burger joint run by the son of an Australian mafia boss
>not appreciating waygoo beef

The wife seemed like a grade A cunt as well. The son prob offed himself while his gf made loads off her onlyfans

>>15891599
>"free" healthcare
>still the most fucked up teeth imaginable
>entire inbred island looks like theyre one missing chromosome away from being potatoes
You britcucks are funny. Do you have your internet loicense paid up m8? Wouldnt want to get picked up by the bobbies for browsing an anti-muzzie website now would ya

>>15888089
Which one was the jewy episode?

>>15892251
They both have their appeals, thing is you just have to approach them with that mindset. The brit version is all about building up an actual character arc of people in trouble looking to genuinely get help and change. The american version is for watching complete losers get their assholes reamed for being shit.
though I will say the music cues on the american version are annoying as fuck.

>>15892357
The American version is about;
>watching freaks try to run a restaurant
>Gordon Ramsay eating shitty food that makes him sick
>the most disgusting fridges in America

>>15891615
He's not english because he's not fucking english, it wouldn't matter if he was born here or not

>>15888089
I remember that French chef. I looked him up and he's a chef in Alsace. Looks like he's doing well.

For me, it’s Algoma.

>>15888537
>>15888923
>>15891485
It's the same species in the same waters but with different diets because it might be the same ocean but the waters are colder so they have different environments to find food from. The diet is what dictates the flavor of the meat and the cost difference. Ramsay is right, the other guy is being a pedantic know it all, without knowing what he is talking about

>>15888101
>apart from morbid obesity.
We're catching up on that. America can't compete with the muchy box.

>>15899440
are they allowed to sell the labiaplasty leftovers?

What's your favorite episode of British nightmares lads?

For me Its gotta be Piccolo Teatro or the Fish and Anchor. Piccolo Teatro is fun because of the fun seeing the irritating owner and the interesting twist on vegetarian food. Fish and Anchor is fun of course because its the closest the British version gets to the American version with an actual emphasis on the husband and wife relationship.

>Fat Mexican man uses his step-daughter's line of credit to finance himself another restaurant when his first one failed, brings the exact same cooks, ingredients, menus, and even silverware from the first failed restaurant, and continues to have his son-in-law float his dying business, then gets angry at him when he calls him out on his bullshit, including a roach infested kitchen
