"Sometimes My Genius…It's Almost Frightening" is a memorable quote uttered by television host Jeremy Clarkson on an episode of the British television series Top Gear.

Origin

On March 10th, 2013, the episode "Africa Special: Part 2" of Top Gear aired.[1] In the episode, Clarkson ties a log to the rear of his car as a make-shift handbrake. Commenting on the success of the device, Clarkson said, "Sometimes my genius…it's almost frightening" (clip below).



On March 11th, 2013, Tumblr[2] user purveyor-of-sin shared a GIF story of the scene with the caption, "Sometimes my genius is frightening." The post received more than 2,300 notes in less than seven years (shown below).
