Flanderization is not YMMV, one trope per line.
Deleted line(s) 7 (click to see context) :
* {{Flanderization}}: It's strange to think a show could start with the cast Flanderized, but without the BBC pulling the reigns on trio's antics, they seem to have become even more of the "cartoon character" versions of themselves.
Changed line(s) 9 (click to see context) from:
* NightmareFuel / NauseaFuel: Clarkson's ecologically-sustainable car, made entirely from dead animal parts. Framed in bones and filled in with skins, it is beyond disturbing the first time you see it, and only gets worse as it starts ''rotting''. It causes a sound guy to lose his lunch off screen and Clarkson to eventually do the same.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Episode 4 features a scene where May builds a car out of bricks, only for the roof to collapse on him the moment he tries to pull away. Hilarious... until you learn that ''the very day the episode came out'', a church roof collapsed in Nigeria, killing 60 people. Ouch.

Pretty sure Clarkson's car also qualifies as Nausea Fuel. (Thank goodness "Smell-a-vision" isn't a mainstream thing...)
