For anyone wanting to know what Jeremy meant when he said 370 Zed drivers would not be invited to any wife swapping parties because they would appear "Oddie".

Quoting Wikipedia, "William Edgar Oddie, OBE (born 7 July 1941) is an English author, actor, comedian, artist, naturalist and musician, who first became famous as one of The Goodies.

A birdwatcher since his childhood in Birmingham, Oddie has now established a reputation for himself as an ornithologist, conservationist and television presenter on wildlife issues."

Still doesn't make any sense...

That cleared it up.:confused:

Damm English humor!

If you don't watch TG just move on...
 

You may need watch the clip again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1onxsrS--E

Here is the logic behind the dry British sarcasm...

Jeremy calls the 370Z a "hen".

What type of person would want a car that looks like a hen?

Who but a bird watcher.

Bill Oddie is a bird watcher.

Therefore, if you drive a 370Z people will think you are like Bill Oddie.

Come on. There has to be someone else on this forum that finds this funny...

Anyone...:confused:

Now it makes more sense. Jesus, you really have to be up on UK TV to get that one. I was pretty amused with the "Bimmer owners go to swingers parties" line though...

UK humor is a lot different than American, I watch a few shows from the other side of the pond and I get most of the jokes but some go right over my head.

Someone get Chubbs over here to this thread :icon17:

John

...why can't you be a bird watcher AND a swinger?

Look at your avy. LOL

Ya I was really confused, but I do see what He's saying lol!

First it didn't make sense so it wasn't funny.

Now it makes sense but still isn't funny.

British Humor FTL.

OOOOH NOW IT MAKES SENSE, he likes to watch birds.....


OK, yeah, I still don't get it either. Why couldn't he just make a fart joke like the rest of the world........

Jeremy ends up calling the Z a "racing hen" haha. :icon17:

I was curious though however, because he mentions that the 370Z had 326horse power. Is it supposed to be less than 332hp in the UK?

Its only British humor……………has anyone ever seen the British series “The Office”? I cannot watch the rip-off American version!
