You've exposed my ignorance, I didn't know you were quoting an actual double act. I thought that was some bizarre stream of conscience. If you put yourself in my shoes the gif makes sense.
I wouldn't say fan. I just like to exaggerate when I'm around people that don't like him in order to annoy (sorry). The last time I watched a full episode of the show was probably three years ago. I certainly like Hammond less than him for reasons I can't fully explain and don't really have an opinion on James May.
As for Farage I think you picked the right word there: "personable". He's got a certain charisma and UKIP would be nowhere without him, perhaps slightly more popular than the English Democrats. As a politician I think he's quite gifted, a good speaker and I believe he's motivated by genuine passion, something rare in UK politics.But it's just a shame about his policies. I wouldn't mind if it was just a Eurosceptic party, I think that's a legitimate position. But to get where he has he's had to take an anti-immigration line which brings all the wrong sort of people to his side, party members and voters included, so the whole issue is tainted now. When I see him I see a man trying desperately to hold all the idiots in his party in line. Without him that party is over. I imagine trying to keep it afloat is pretty stressful.
That was a kind of long winded and roundabout answer but I hope you found it illuminating.
BONUS EDIT
Made me think of this song.
