Clarkson and Hammond are hilarious in their antics, but May’s humor is often genuinely clever. The older I’ve gotten the more I’ve come to appreciate his dry, sarcastic way of speaking.
Though I just realised that it’s kinda like puns except applying it to phrases and ideas instead of just words with multiple meanings. It’s all about the edge cases around communication, pointing out things that are implied, or assuming things that aren’t implied, deliberately misidentifying pronouns, switching subject and object of sentences if the structure allows it.
Not that there’s anything wrong with puns, it was just an interesting realization.
Ya know, having only seen this as an image, I thought Hammond was giving a thousand yard stare and saying this, but it makes way more sense for May to have said it.
James can come out with some of the funniest lines.

Deadpan IMO is the best kind of humour.
