1st was pretty good, 2nd episode was whack.

the part about the vulcan was done better by top gear/chris harris, the army part just extended too long, and the joke about the celebrity was **** at the start. oh and the driver is annoying af too.

I feel like.. that driver isn't actually red-neck enuff..

It feels like he's just faking it.. 

They should've gotten jeff foxworthy (too expensive)..   or larry the cable guy (cheep),  cuz these are real red-necks.
Basically, there's three American stereotypes. They are; everyone from New York is a money-obsessed ultra-evil corporate intent on spreading as much misery as possible, everyone from California is a tree-hugging hippie whose vocab is restricted to the words "like", "dude" and "ohmygawd", and everyone else in America is basically that driver.

Now of course I know none of those are true, and I enjoy a stereotype joke as much as the next man, but this is so in-your-face and so long and drawn-out, plus it's a really ANNOYING stereotype, not even a funny one.

Holy ****, people think New Yorkers are shrewd and sophisticated money hounds?

This has always been the stereotype in my mind, even though I lived there for a year
[big ass youtube video that doesn't minimize in comments]
Well, that's the international stereotype, at least. I'm sure state stereotypes will be quite different from within the US itself.

Basically, this is what outsiders think the US is like.

Series overview so far (as of episode 4): Pretty solid, perhaps not as good as the three of them in Top Gear, but much better than the trainwreck that was Chris Evan's Top Gear

I feel a little bad that Evan's got stuck in that deal, because if he had an original IP he could have absolutely crushed it. Really smart and knowledgeable guy in a **** situation.
