Oh.

Friends.

The one where a burly Brit host ruins everything.

    Something’s wrong with the world when an absolutely insufferable dose like him becomes a multi-millionaire and yes I am bitter.

    1. Redundant Proofreaders Society

      He’s talentless, smug, annoying – yet seems to be everywhere on the box. Like Philip Schofield. Can’t understand it.

      2. Broadbag

        At least Schofield proved himself on kids TV, he was great at that, see also Ray Darcy, and then they think they are ready for proper TV and the rest is history, in Darcy’s case at least lets hope it stays history.

    I thought he was good in Gavin and Stacey
    Then I thought he was a knob
    Then I heard him on Desert Island Discs talking about how he lost the plot when he got famous and thought he was okay again
    Then he went to the US and became a knob again

    Mind you, I used to like The Killers so what would I know?

  3. Charlie

    He’s a talented lad and a nice bloke. Yes, he’s everywhere and it’s occasionally irritating but he’s a victim of his own popularity.

  4. Toe Up

    It’s also strange that he is a CBS host presenting a reunion for one of most successful NBC shows of the past 30 years.

    The US networks are usually very parochial with a view to promoting cross platform synergies.

    In everybody’s head – “Keep smiling, pretend you care, cash-in. I can’t believe I’m being paid for this!”

    fair play to him but I never ever got how or why Corden was so special, major mystery, he must have some serious talent management people in the backoffice there kerrchiiing

    as for Friends, I never ever got it either, eventually even started to grate on my nerves a bit…happy for people who like it and enjoy it but I’d usually even leave the room if it’s on

    Curb or Frasier on loop no bother….could even watch Raymond pleasantly but not Fiends

      I think the best, relatively unheralded US sitcom of the past ten years was VEEP.
      Superb.

      1. nicorigo

        It would be because Veep is produced by Armando Iannucci. The scottish numero uno amuser.

      2. Unreal

        Thanks I will check it out
        Why don’t you ever do your movies any more?
        They were good

    of all the stereotypical types i met in England, his type: the arrogant white English guy was the only insufferable one i met and there are many like him. suppose the equivalent to our Ross O Carroll Kelly. we all know from life that people with arrogance do seem to go far.

    So no one told you life was gonna be this way
    Lockdown’s a joke, you’re broke
    Your love life’s DOA
    It’s like we’ve all been paralysed by fear
    Just obey another day, a week, a month
    Or even a year

      I’ll pretend for you!
      That it’s all about saving other people

      I’ll pretend for you!
      That we care about the OAP’s

      I’ll pretend for you!
      If you pretend for me tooooooo!

      ;)

      Yup, think it’s about time we quit our day jobs dude… oh wait. Crap!

  9. Casual Observer

    Grow up.
    Give up that nonsense, please..
    You come across like an only-child, an attention seeker. with no parents in control anymore.

    I’d bet my wages that you’d be terrified of breaking ANY laws.
    f_lawless my botty.

    Progression comes from breaking rules…
    …not from being whatever it is that you pretend to do.
