Top Gear - Funniest Moments from Series 1

Funniest moments from the first series of Top Gear UK with Jason Dawe.

[d-d-i]

Looking down on this, the reason why Jason didn't work and was removed after the 1st season was because he felt like a part of the audience, laughing to all jokes Hammond and Jezza threw out, and lacked the sort of charisma and precense what May has. When May arrived, he brought in that sort of sarcastic nerdy side of things, and fell perfectly into the group with his quirky and unique personality.

James May sure did lose a lot of weight

[dylan__dog]

James was really that touch of brilliance they needed to make the show legendary

1:08 Here we have The Stig before his redemption, when he was still under the influence of the Dark Side of the Force.

The bit with Jason running, is literally the only Jason bit that I remembered.

[BradTheThird]

We all know that Richard Hammond got the job because as he was leaving the audition he referred going home to Cheltenham as "Going back to the 'Nam"

This is that old, Jezza was still sporting his 1990's leather jacket and an afro

[PrayingToTheAlien]

As much as I think James May is awesome, I sometimes wonder how the show would’ve turned out with Jason...

[drock]

It is amazing how the early seasons of Top Gear that are almost 20 years old are still entertaining, relevant, and funny.

[SuperFam]

Glad they didn't fire hammond and got rid of jadon instead.

[kevinhibbard]

Ive never seen anythng before james mays first show.

[mrflibble]

It's so strange seeing someone else sat there in place of James. Especially someone with so little personality and presence.

[andrewcollinson]

Ah so this is what The Beast did before The Chase.

Video should be titled “Why Jason Dawes didn’t make it past the first season of Top Gear”

[mschirantan]

Jeremy, the only guy who gets away with things he says. Literally grouped bunch of people and called them fat, ugly, gay and everyone just laughed

[tomchorley]

Me: Ohh wow this take me back! I wonder how well this has aged?

Jeremy straight away: LOOK HOW GAY EVERYONE LOOKS!!

[kevinwest]

I never knew they had another guy other than may. I honestly thought it was a crowd member at the start.

10:14 this chap could’ve been James May with a wig

[royalbloodedledgend]

This feels like it’s from an alternate universe without James May

"It's RAW!"
"Where's the lamb SAAAAUCE?!?!?!"
