It appears that in a recent episode of The Grand Tour, in which he is joined by fellow "comedians" James May and Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond likens males consuming ice cream to be something that homosexuals would do, and quite importantly, something he wouldn't do because he is a heterosexual.

Obviously this is hilarious and he is just saying it because it's a joke like one of those funny racist jokes which they do on Top Gear which are ok because they're just fun charismatic lads doing the banter and telling it like it is.

[BadenBadenLily]

Can confirm. I'm gay, and I love Ice Cream cones.

 

[SystemBug]

fracas me boy

 

[Busty]

Somewhere in Amazon someone is jumping for joy.








Seriously.

 

[GringoSuave89]

If ice cream is gay, I'm flaming.

 

[Carl]

I love ice-cream, that's why I don't need to come out as gay

 

[androvsky]

Even Clarkson thought he lost it... within the bounds of all three of the hosts taking turns being cartoon parodies of themselves in this series.

 

[Quonny]

i always knew i was the gay

 

[Spiral Insanity]

It isn't funny though. And it is offensive. But I guess they really want to target 'bro's'.

 

[Slayven]

Homophobia is hilarious

 

[Silver Arrows]

Fuck Top Gear. Of course, car guys will defend this just like the did Clarkson punching out that director.

Good thing I ditched them out a long time ago for better car shows that don't have knobs for hosts.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Jesus. What a dumbass.

 

[Gaogaogao]

oh right, those guys do suck

 

[HStallion]

Shit I must be gayer than a rainbow because I loves me some ice cream.

 

[Frozenprince]

Yeah probably need to fire the writer who gave them that one. Reminds me of the fudge packer joke they made last run of Top Gear.

Shit isn't okay.

 

[andymcc]

Complaining about being concerned with not looking straight while wearing a mostly unbuttoned pink shirt? 🤔

 

[Hollycat]

I'm a lesbian and I love icecream

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Then bring on the dicks.

 

[Beartruck]

Its almost like there was a reason BBC was forced to cancel their most popular show.

 

[HStallion]

The swirled one is called the Michael Jackson. You don't want to know the chocolate cones name...

 

[Haly]

Yeah ice cream is pretty gay.

(nsfs)

 

[pswii60]

Have you decided to report this exclusively to GAF after watching the latest episode, or are you repeating something you've already seen reported?

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I love ice cream. And get a new shirt bruh.

 

[Princess Viola]

Can confirm

I'm lesbian and love ice cream.

 

[i_am_ben]

can confirm. All of the guy's I've slept with have loved ice cream.

 

[Sandoval]

Well he isn't wrong... but it's also for everyone else unless they have lactose sensitivities.

 

[Durrzerker]

I have a dick in one hand and an ice cream in the other at all times

 

[Slayven]

Yeah probably need to fire the writer who gave them that one. Reminds me of the fudge packer joke they made last run of Top Gear.

Shit isn't okay.

They need to stop getting their jokes from the 80s

No you didn't because there is no better car show. Of course calling it a car show is a oversimplification.

 

[GameAddict411]

The whole show have been a disappointment and grossly over funded, but they also had to throw in some offensive jokes.

 

[negitoro7]

Their schtick is really tired and old now. I enjoyed Chris Harris and Rory Reid segments on the new Top Gear much more than the Grand Tour show.

 

[Sanjuro]

Hey, did you know ice cream is really good for you? Lots of homosexuals.

 

[WedgeX]

Conflicted. His eating less ice cream means more ice cream for the rest of us. But also hate this homophobic shit.

 

[tapedeck]

I'm straight but I love Ice-Cream....

Send help.

 

[Frozenprince]

Hammond has always been the "country" one of the two, as well, he lives in rural Wales and is a bit of a cunt.

I like the show, they're funny, it's entertaining.

But he and Clarkson are assholes.

May's good people though.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Have you decided to report this exclusively to GAF after watching the latest episode, or are you repeating something you've already seen reported?

I want you to guess.

 

[Silver Arrows]

No you didn't because there is no better car show. Of course calling it a car show is a oversimplification.

There is. For one, there's Regular Car Reviews, which is just as funny as Top Gear ever was, with none of the douchebaggery.

 

[Qblivion]

He has made some pretty questionable jokes in the past.

Is it the Lex Steele?

 

[pswii60]

It isn't funny though. And it is offensive. But I guess they really want to target 'bro's'.

And it's not like it's a choice, I was born liking ice cream.

I want you to guess.

You can't always have what you want.

 

[Silver Arrows]

He has made some pretty questionable jokes in the past.

Questionable, yes. But he sure hasn't punched out any of his coworkers in the past, or peddled racist, transphobic shit in Britain's newspapers, or said racist jokes...

 

[Wallach]

genuinely bizarre, even as a joke it doesn't really make any sense

 

[Sax Russel]

/pat

 

[OnimaruXLR]

First the Mexican food thing, now this. What is wrong with English people? Does anything that isn't boiled resemble vomit or emasculation to them? Would fried ice cream, a Mexican specialty (in the US anyway) be considered the food of effeminate bulimic???

 

[Ivan 3414]

The swirled one is called the Michael Jackson. You don't want to know the chocolate cones name...

You could have at least marked that as NSFW

 

[Frozenprince]

I wonder what the point of the joke is even supposed to be? Licking ice cream is a bit like licking cock?

Boy howdy that's hilarious.

Yeah shit is just awful, no excuse for it.

 

[Bane]

I fucking love ice cream. Bend me over, I guess.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I wonder what the point of the joke is even supposed to be? Licking ice cream is a bit like licking cock?

Boy howdy that's hilarious.

Considering TG's/TGT's target demographic, this is right up their alley.
