James Corden should fuck off

the mythchild forgives you

Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar was the best thing about the M&W sketch show IMO.

Football Sketch was the best

The sketch with David Mitchell becoming the Fuhrer right at the end of WWII is the best I think.

neil s otm

the mitchell and webb situation predated peepshow, no?

MOEBIUS LOOP

Football Sketch was the best

In case I actually need to spell it out, that post was pretty heavily taking the piss.

Taking the piss out of what? Sorry, as someone who has been at the sharp end of abuse due to my, ahem, glandular problems I'm a little touchy on this subject. Just looked like a cheap jibe to me.

Reasons why certain posters upthread might have had such an, ahem, visceral reaction to him.

Also, as far as I can tell, "Look at me, I'm fat" is what he does for laughs, errrrrrrr, largely

This is true.

Just ingore me everyone I'm Having A Bad Day and really should be lying down in a dark room with some fine wine and cake. Carry on.

Ingore?

Man, mention of wine and I've come over all Pavlovian

Must drink wine. Must drink wine. NOW!

^^^^
That could easily be a sketch show character catchphrase.

Phil Claydon’s instantly forgettable lad’s mag farce Lesbian Vampire Killers is an appalling waste of a perfectly decent title. James Corden and Mathew Horne are two witless slobs who go for a hike in Norfolk with an industrial quantity of condoms and end up being savaged by a posse of groaning 18-year-olds with plastic teeth, few clothes, pneumatic breasts and three brain cells between the lot of them. It’s profoundly awful.

ILX otm.

how the hell would this be profoundly awful?

I saw the sketch show, and I have to say the performances are excellent, but it's not actually that funny.

xpost presumably the fact that it's awful is a given, but considering a low expectation threshhold, it's awful even by that standard?

It's a bit like being profoundly deaf.

Vampire movies are ripe for spoof and this doesn't stray far from the path of modesty trodden by Hammer House.

Impish Swede MyAnna Buring and Paul McGann as a vampire-hating vicar both play it brilliantly deadpan.

Once Horne and Corden are split up, with the vicar teaming up with Fletch and Lotte falling for Jimmy, the laughs start to flow. By the end of the movie your critic had lost control of his funny bone.

Other reviewers will say that Lesbian Vampire Killers is another British comic flop, but The Sneak won't be driving that stake into its heart.

By the end of the movie your critic had lost control of his funny bone.

funny bones are uncontrollable by definition.

a vampire movie spoof! is no sacred cow safe from horne and corden's rapier wit??

this week's time out has the two of them bowling, with the strapline "comedy with balls"

i'm confused about exactly how much cojones it takes to air sketches about a flamboyantly homosexual war reporter who is scared of violence

another article has a picture of them fencing, with the strapline "comedy with weird masks and long thin sharp rods"

it's become this kneejerk assumption that all comedy is "edgy" or "courageous" - so you get guys like horne and corden who are about as unedgy as it gets - they practically revel in their inoffensive normality - but headline writers just can't help themselves, it's hardwired in

Apparently Corden is doing a cover of "World in Motion" with the England football team for next year's world cup. This has the potential to be the single worst piece of recorded music of all time.

did he really have to have a piece of paper to hand for every joke on buzzcocks?

Any point watching that episode on iPlayer?

None whatsoever. What could have been a passable episode of Buzzcocks was ruined by his table slapping guffaws at every single thing Phill Jupitus said.

Garofalo didn't even get an opportunity to speak other than to take part in yet another joke about Blue, jeez, you'd think they could find someone else to rip on in 2009, dispite her obviously being the funniest one there.

Ok, I'll watch Godfather Part II instead.

just discovered this cunt's existence thanks to the speech debelle thread.

Mercury winner Speech Debelle was booed by Take That fans as she tried to rap one of their songs at a London event in honour of the group.

Debelle chose to rap her way through the 1993 hit single Pray, leading to boos from some of the 500-strong crowd.

She was also criticised by host James Corden, who said "anyone can rap", before launching into a rap of his own.

not to defend debelle, but what the actual fuck, this james corden dude is intolerable and needs a fucking punch in the face. how the hell does he have a career?

dude, michael mcintyre is the bbc's big money comedy act- obv. comedy is dead, james corden ate it.

Still, it's clear Ruth Jones is obviously the genius behind "Gavin and Stacey", thanks to these interventions.

A bit more detail:

Speech Debelle was booed by fans of Take That last night (November 25) when she attempted to rap the band's 1993 hit 'Pray'.

The Mercury Prize-winner was jeered off-stage at the launch of the boy band's new video game, SingStar.

Debelle, real name Corynne Elliot, reportedly upset the 500-strong audience with her cover, and when they booed, she said: “I'm a rapper. I don't do Take Shit.”

Her reaction prompted host and star of Gavin and Stacey James Corden to respond, saying: “That was shit, anyone can rap”.

both of them should fuck off anyway

http://broken-tv.blogspot.com/2009/03/comedy-showdown-ii-horne-and-corden-and.html

^this is still great

I watched G&S last night and laughed quite a few times, although mostly at the bits with Gavin and comedy Welsh people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIqHE-_qORU

Just saw the actual clip - excruciating. Debelle's a mess, and makes the tactical error of calling the band she's supposedly celebrating "Take Shit" but then Corden is such an obnoxious, bullying shit that you have to sympathise with her despite yourself.

nothing about that entire thing is defensible but debelle is pretty much AS indefensible as corden...argh

defending constituent parts of the indefensible

His "rap" is better than hers.

"Nobody disses our four boys"

WTF have they just come back from Afghanistan or something?

yeah, armed with loudspeakers

everything about that clip is just horrible. noone comes out with any credit and they all need launched to the moon on a rocket.
