The former Top Gear hosts may have come up with a joyful, silly name for their new show on Amazon Prime.
Buzz Feed reported – after an investigation – that a law firm closely associated with Jeremy Clarkson has recently registered the trademark “Gear Knobs”. Usually, re-vamps and spin-offs are not that catchy from the get-go and require some time to get used to, but this particular title is brilliant – if the rumors turn out to be true, of course.
We don’t know if the new label mocks the BBC’s own show, but it’s a clever pun, providing a bright epithet to the three motoring Stooges. As any British person might tell you, the word “knob” can be used as a derogatory term in order to describe a silly, goofy (stupid) person.
As the new show slowly takes form, Clarkson, Hammond and May can leave the Top Gear fiasco behind them and offer a truly interesting spectacle. In fact, we have no reason to doubt that, especially with Amazon’s alleged $250 Million contract.
