About

This Is Brilliant. But I Like This a memorable quote uttered by host Jeremy Clarkson on a 2014 episode of Top Gear. Online, a screen-capture from the scene has been used in object label image macros featuring the quote to express appreciation for one thing over another.

Origin

On February 16th, 2014, episode three of season 21 of Top Gear aired. In the episode, one of the hosts Jeremy Clarkson says of the Ford Fiesta his partner Richard Hammond is driving "This is brilliant." However, he claims the Volkswagen Up! he reviewed is better, saying, "But I like this" (shown below).[1]
