James Corden should fuck off

xp - did I dream it or has Gervais done that exact joke (about winning "real awards") before?

best thing Deayton ever did is that KYTV ad where he trips up little girl after she nutmegs him

I thought he was famed as a letch and a cokehead?

don't know to what extent he was responsible for writing on HIGNFY but Radio Active/KYTV stuff was good and he's a reasonable one-note actor

Deayton is fucking hilarious on the first series of "Nighty Night."

The History Boys is one of the worst films I have ever seen, and this gurning scumbag is very much part of its vile parade.

true
I expected hot public school boy on public school boy action and boy was I dissaboynted

not that I want to see Corden do it with another human being

What he said. He's famed as a wit without ever having done anything to deserve it

Allegedly.

i watched the youtube clip of kevin bishop throwing things at the inbetweeners guys as they collected their award ( ) and thought he looked like a nasty coked-up fuckwit. checked out some of his sketches and the reality is far far worse:

so depressing that this is where british comedy is right now. the clips ive seen of inbetweeners aren't much better either, but this bishop guy is the absolute pits. like bobby davro level pits. even if he was slightly funny he shat all over it by being in a fucking natwest advert. is this a new low in vaguely-edgy comedians sucking corporate cock the second it's offered?

I don't mind Kevin Bishop. I think he's probably a complete tool, but some of his stuff raises the odd laugh.

Yeah right, as if James Cordon was ever going to shout abuse at Ricky Gervais.

omg that youtube clip!

Katy Brand "Fuck you Bishop....(to audience) he never paid for our baby..."

think Bishop then says "you're still carrying it"?!

i dunno if he is all that bad - some of these guys deserve to have stuff thrown at them...someone should've clouted him anyway tho. Star Stories has it's moments. it took me ages to realise it's him in those NatWest ads for some reason.

Now Katy Brand, there's a talent for you...

oh dear fuck http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/02/20/article-1151105-0397D6F0000005DC-797_468x428.jpg

yeah what?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1151105/Gavin-Stacey-stars-Horne-Corden-recreate-famous-scene-Ghost-hilarious-new-show.html

bbc as bottomless pit of shit comedy double-act sketch shows.

No-one's ever thought of doing that before

SICK! This man, Patrick Swayze, is dying and they have the audacity to do this?

OTM The Lex!

Much funnier than the show, I'd wager.

xpost

Work colleague was at school with Corden. Really, REALLY hates him.

could lose a few pounds, this guy. a bad example to the kids.

He is vile and totally disgusting

I think Horne's the really fucking evil one, though, with his square chin and squinty eyes and scarf and theiving little fingers. Dirty fucking cunt.

I suppose that most people here saw these two fuckers "presenting" the Brits?
Parodying the pottery scene from Ghost? WTF? Is it 1990 already? Next BBC Three/3/III will be showing this...

Don't really know him, but if he's doing things with Corden then let's agree, both cunts

wow 1990! nice

maybe time for a parody of ICE ICE BABY by VANILLA THE ICE

Someone's already done that - it's called "Ice Ice Baby", by Vanilla Ice...

I would still like to know what the Pinefox has against the History Boys.

I must have missed this Vanilla Ice chap's series on BBC 3

Anybody seen Horne in Entertaining Mr Sloane? I was keen but tickets appear to be £45, so maybe not.

I would still like to know what the Pinefox has against the History Boys.

was thinking the same thing

Horne and Corden, the 21st century Little & Large, except not as funny.

was thinking the same thing

me too. also what, specifically, makes Corden "vile and disgusting" - if not just that he is porky and often unfunny (esp. when not in character).

my Mum likes him because "it's nice that he laughs at other people like Sean Locke's jokes so much"

i like Horne too - esp. recent appearance on Buzzcocks where he and Martin Freeman did the 'look of haplessness and despair' thing together

Brits hosts have performed terribly since relatively acceptable Chris Evans in '95

But they made such a mess of the Brits, not just presenting it incompetently, but peppering their between-act links with unfunny jokes which presumably they scripted themselves. "Craig David hasn't had a hit single for a while!" oh hahahahaha...

Funny because it's true. Oh wait...

you get the Brit awards presenters you deserve for watching that shit

Precisely.

yeaeh, if you don't watch it, you get better presenters!

For some unknown reason I was watching a "making of" Gavin & Stacey show, which directly followed an episode which I also had inexplicably watched.

For my money Stacey is one of the most saccharine actresses I've ever seen. Nothing she says is memorable. I have no doubt that lots of people like her because she seems "sweet", but she brings a whole lot of nothing to the part. Even the guy who plays Gavin is better. You get the feeling that in private he's a bit of a cunt but at least you've got that to hold onto. As for their on-screen chemistry - I know these things are subjective, but I actually thought they were supposed to be brother and sister for the first 3/4 of the show.

So what does James Corden say to the interviewer, while the lighting guys are lining up another shot? "It was like really important for us to have their relationship be really believable - the entire show is built around that - if you don't believe their relationship the whole thing falls apart." Too right.

(Later, Gavin says that he is incomparably thrilled to get to work with the actress who plays Stacey - he says he learns from her, that he's so lucky to play opposite someone of her talent. I think he may have even convinced himself of this.)

maybe the people who like THE HISTORY BOYS and WHITE TEETH would also like a lengthy essay outlining reasons why OCEAN COLOUR SCENE were not very good.

btw, dreadful as White Teeth is for the first 300pp or so, it actually does get worse in the last 200, which is a difficult thing to imagine until you witness it happening

you are talking about the History Boys film and not the book right? so are you also talking about the White Teeth TV series as opposed to the book - or both?

I think I'm gonna use this thread as another excuse to plug Limmy's Show, aren't I? Yes I am. On iPlayer till tomorrow night, one-off pilot (at present), only shown on BBC Scotland, best British sketch show I've seen since The Armando Iannucci Shows, can confidently predict will be better than whatever Corden and Horne come up with.

Corden always makes me think of Andy Richter (and the comparison doesn't flatter Corden):

Tracer re Stacey she's an entirely believable character which presumably serves as some kind of counter-balance to Nessa's general absurdity - at least I think that's the intention. But the believability of Stacey doesn't make her a waste of time imo.

HB film (didn't see play)
WT book (didn't see all of TV series)
OCS band

Gavin and Stacey, despite its flaws, is quite funny I think. The older generation of actors are the best part (Gavin's parents, Rob Bryden, Stacey's mom).

I think I'm gonna use this thread as another excuse to plug Limmy's Show, aren't I?

Not to namedrop or anything, but me and Limmy go waaaaaaaaaay back

Not going there.

The announcement from last night.

So now just a couple months or so of vintage Comics Unleashed episodes left, and trying to figure out if any of the panelists later died by autoerotic asphyxiation at a Holiday Inn during the middle of a weeklong stand at The Chuckle Hut in Tuscaloosa.

No such luck (yet), but last night they ran one with David Brenner, who died almost 10 years ago.
