Didn't even get a chuckle out of me... The show already takes itself lighter than lightly, so there's really no reason to parody what is basically a parody already, especially when you're not funny.

too true :good:

The only bit that made me smile was the "I have an erection" bit - that's probably something Clarkson himself would come up with.

Well, all of the impressions from the BBC show (Dead Ringers) from which this is taken are too knowing. They're also too obvious and get very repetitive.

The show is shit after the first time you see it.

BTW - he also does a tiring impression of Blair and Bush - it stopped being funny the second time he did it.

:bah:
