* Episode 1 introduces Jeremy's vitriolic hatred for the Porsche In a rather humorous way: The trio did a comparison of performance sport coupes where both James and Richard opted for the Porsche 911 Carrera S over the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and BMW M6. Back in the studio Richard repeats to Jeremy not to say anything in retort. Jeremy remains true to his word by not saying anything... The camera then shows the back of his blazer is a sheet attached that has "COCKS BY PORSCHES" written on it. It is at this point that both Richard and James say they both bought Porches. Jeremy (and those standing behind him who can see the sign) can only help but laugh as Jeremy closes out the episode.



* Richard Hammond living up to his "Hamster" nickname twice in the series, both pertaining to cool cars. Fist in Episode 3, during the Cool Wall segment Richard eats the picture of a BMW M6 after a scuffle with Jeremy to keep it off the Sub Zero section. Then again during the awards ceremony in Episode 6 when Jeremy declared he wasn't going to give the award to the Porsche 911 and instead give it to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Cure Richard taking the card away from Jeremy and eating it while playing keep away from the other presenters like a dog with a bone. The segment ends with James trying to get Jeremy to continue while reading sillier and sillier awards with Jeremy refusing to continue because Richard "will just eat them all", all the while Richard is in the background ''still eating the card''.

* Series 6, In Episode 1, Jeremy pits a Range Rover against a tank. During the challenge, he starts leading the tank around a bush (complete with waltzing music), prompting this line from one of the crew.
--> '''Tank Crewman''': He's turning in circles, the little [[SoundEffectBleep *bleep* !]]
** Jeremy Clarkson was able to outsmart the tank's crew, but not for long.
* In Episode 3, during the Heathrow to Oslo race:
-->'''Clarkson:''' Right, Channel tunnel strai-
-->'''GPS:''' Now turn left.
-->'''Clarkson:''' ''(With an exasperated look)'' The Channel Tunnel is straight! I can read! You useless harridan!

-->'''Richard:''' Hold on. THAT. Was. Shocking. I have seen ''Series/Thunderbirds'' and I never saw Alan flying along, listening to Boston, eating a bar of chocolate. Neither did I see Virgil suggesting they stop for a cappuccino. They were both focused on the job in hand.

** Richard's rant up till then was pretty funny:
-->'''Richard:''' Hold on. THAT. Was. Shocking. I have seen Thunderbirds and I never saw Alan flying along, listening to Boston, eating a bar of chocolate. Neither did I see Virgil suggesting they stop for a cappuccino. They were both focused on the job in hand.
-->''(after James reveals that his car broke)''
-->'''Richard:''' Yeah, I did wonder if you were going to mention that, because it wasn't in the film. In the end, neither Thunderbird Fat nor Thunderbird Slow actually rescued me. No, an actual rescue person had to come and save me. And can I just talk about the four days - FOUR DAYS - of misery I endured whilst you two dawdled from breakfast to breakfast in your heated trucks.
-->'''Jeremy''': No, I'm sorry, there isn't time.

** After all of Clarkson's teasing of Hammond for not buying "a real Ferrari", his look at the car's maintenance history reveals that his own Maserati Merak SS isn't actually an SS - it just had an SS badge added to it at some point.

** After all of Clarkson's teasing of Hammond for not buying "a real Ferrari", his look at the car's maintenance history reveals that his own Maserati Merak SS isn't actually an SS - it just had an SS badge added to it at some point. Clarkson nonetheless tries to claim this as a blessing in disguise, pointing out that this means his car only has to reach [=190bhp=] in the horsepower test -- Hammond's and May's having returned results of [=194bhp=] and [=117bhp=] respectively -- rather than the 220 it would be for an SS model. And then he gets the actual result:
--->'''Hammond:''' (laughing) What is it?
--->'''Clarkson:''' (quietly) 80.
--->'''May:''' What?
--->'''Clarkson:''' (even quieter still) 80.
--->'''Hammond:''' 80?! (he and May laugh uncontrollably) They've all gotten away! There must be a big gate open on the back, and all your horses just got out. Your car is ''garbage''!
** Near the climax of the challenge, what could have been a scary moment when the engine of Clarkson's Merak disintegrates while he's travelling at speed on the open road -- taking out the car's brakes into the bargain -- ends up doubling back into hilarity when he ends up having to ditch the car in a hedge in order to bring it to a halt. This, combined with the fact that their ultimate destination was meant to be a lap-dancing club leads Clarkson to sum up the situation as follows:
--->'''Clarkson:''' I must say, I was hoping to end the evening in a rather different sort of hedge, but there you are.

* In one episode, Hammond's road test goes far over budget. Clarkson promises to do his road test on no budget at all, then proceeds to immediately break his promise by traveling all over the world to exotic locations as part of his test. Upon cutting back to the studio, James May drops a legendary insult on him.
-->'''May:''' You are an ''apocalyptic'' dingleberry.
* During the news segment of Episode 4, Jeremy is talking about a newspaper piece that claims gay couples are banned from the studio audience. He dismisses the claim as utter nonsense; cue five men dressed as the Music/VillagePeople standing directly behind Hammond and May for the rest of the segment, complete with huge fake mustaches.
* In Episode 5, the trio try to create car art and bring an art dealer for his opinion, for which he has only seven words to say:
-->'''Clarkson:''' Is there anything here that catches your eye?\\
