yendiYou know how some people have a genetic thing that makes cilantro taste like soap?
I've got the equivalent gene for the "comedy" of Jeremy Clarkson. Hearing him makes me want to punch him in the balls, and that's when he's not saying stupid and racist stuff (in other words, when he's actually talking about cars). Clearly, lots of intelligent people think he's amazing (about half my FB feed, at least), but I don't get it at all.
Which makes him cilantro.
I know everyone's got their cilantro (or their "crappy fast food that people seem to devour instead of something tasty," or their "crappy generic TV show they watch instead of the good things that get cancelled"), but this is one that I just can't wrap my head around.
Anyway, here's my favorite Stewart Lee video, which is NSFW, and probably just as cilantro-esque to a bunch of people:
