Is that they get all riled when the presenters make fun in their general direction (mocking guys called Keith, or the american population in general, for example), but forget that the core of the program's humor are the presenters making fun of themselves, their country, their country's conventions. When the guys confidently march out in one of their creations or crappy challenge cars, they're not seriously expecting admiring glances for their geniality. When they make fun of the british for being lazy or going on caravan holidays, they don't expect people to believe things are that awful, that's called comic hyperbole. For every time they mention that the Corvette is built by a fat man in Kentucky, they mention ten times that british sports cars are built in shacks by lazy midlanders. The presenters don't take themselves seriously, but these people do, and, in my opinion, when you can have a laugh at your own expense, you can have a laugh at other people's as well. Oh, and the irony of a guy called Jeremy mocking a guy called Keith wasn't lost to the show, trust me.

Some people are too sensitive.
However, they do use the same jokes frequently and that wears on peoples' nerves.

Maybe, but such is the way with clichés. I for one enjoy the chaotic nature of trash talking because that's my day to day in a nutshell.

I swear it must be great to be one of the hosts. When they know easily who is stupid by who takes the show seriously. Especially when the culture in the UK is filled with satire and sarcasm. James May must be cracking up just looking at articles put Top Gear on a level higher than BBC News

Must be really, imagine getting the chance to host a show that's not about cars, but about having fun with cars, with your two best buds that you like and hate at the same time. Even if the presenters aren't exactly like that in real life, and Top Gear isn't a live show that they just improvise at will, the illusion is good enough to stand even to the most anal viewers.
