About the This Is Brilliant But I Like This Meme
Two stacked panels from Top Gear. In both, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond stand on a driveway between a small white Volkswagen Up! and a larger red Ford Fiesta, a grand white European building behind them. In the top frame, the subtitle reads "This is brilliant." and they gesture broadly at the cars. In the bottom frame, "But I like this." appears as they step closer to admire the Fiesta. Clarkson wears a blue button-down, Hammond is in purple, and the green hedges are perfectly manicured behind them.
From Top Gear (BBC). Two panels show Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond standing between a white Volkswagen Up! and a red Ford Fiesta in front of a grand European mansion. Top panel: "This is brilliant." subtitle as they gesture at the cars. Bottom panel: "But I like this." subtitle as they admire the red Fiesta. The format lets users label two options where one is objectively better but the other is personally preferred. The baked-in subtitles stay in the image. For a cleaner two-option comparison, see Drake Hotline Bling. For choosing the wrong option on purpose, see Two Buttons.
