Richard Ayoade and Greg Davies. Bad Dong.

@@jamesp5408 YES THE BAD DONG BIT. that one kills me every time. also the "your mum" one always gets me.

@@gwenhyfarbeati "Your mom/mum" is evergreen. It was funny in the 1970s and it's just as funny now.

@@jamesp5408 oh for sure, i just meant the specific richard ayoade bit with jimmy! i had to stop saying "your mom" out of reflex when i accidentally said it to my own kid LMAO

He is always great on Countdown as well.

It was coz he was in proximity of 6 other funny people

Unpopular opinion, Corden was genuinely quite funny before he ran off to america

I just really dislike his schtick. It's all "I'm awful. Just Awful."

@@bigted6351 yeah he's great in big fat quiz and he's amazing in Gavin and Stacey

It's an old clip

May be the only funny sing I've ever heard him say

that is not high praise, if he said something even remotely resembling a joke it would be the funniest thing i've heard him say

Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut

Well it was really low hanging fruit, so pretty much in character for him.

as you should

Heidi?

​@@janeeyre1990 hahahaha,insert Jimmy's laugh here.

understandable

​@@Maya_Pinion aH aH aH aaaH!

Jack Whitehall?

That's not a very high bar for "genius" but I guess it was amusing...

@@SebHaarfagre It appears SebSk, Lord of Comedy, Definer of Genius, has spoken.

Definitely. It’s why Jimmy quietly quips “classic Cordon” when he says it.

Ironically there are two JCs on this episode who have a problem with sharing

@@mrfashionguy1 Those initials must be a bad omen then! LOL

jesus christ is crying reading this @@pmason6076

@@pmason6076yeah. if ya don’t keep your audience happy, they’ll crucify you. The JC curse

Singing in space and being the first singer in space are very close to the same thing, but I'm confident that because Hadfield wasn't a singer by trade that it still just barely counts. I guess if we replaced the words "first singer" with "first vocalist" it might be more acceptable.

@@Gustavae just because he was an astronaut doesnt mean singing and being a musician arent in his trade as well lol your trying to split hairs here

At the time of this episode it was 2012. I believe Hadfield did it in 2013. But you are correct he was the first to do it in space since Brightman canceled her trip.

@@veenoir1991 ok then prove he was a professional singer or amateur singer in community theatre and you'll have a point. Singing is not part of the astronaut role. he may do those things but it is not part of his job

@@anotheruserism not only is he in 2 bands, he recorded a 12 song album in space. What the fuck are you even on about lmao

I wish Uk television was available for all of us in the US. I really miss when we used to watch UK comedy.

Cheers to that

Thank you, kind sir.

Well now we need to know which part you mean!! I’ve watched almost all the episodes and I’ve never noticed it🧐

@@fattyshrek3962 it might be 0:34

Dedicated singer I guess?

Turns out she wasn't, regardless of whether you count that. At least judging by a quick google search, she had to cancel it and never took it up again.

Don't forget that Brightman was once married to Lloyd-Webber. She's probably so accustomed to him ripping-off other composers and claiming their music as his own, she thought she could just lie and no-one would notice.

@@decodolly1535 😂🏆

This is from 2012 though

Then you only read what you want to read, to support your narrow biased opinion.

Cordon hasn't always been a twat.

@@spuzzdawg I feel like only after gavin and Stacey tho but that’s only like 3 years of not being a twat tho

What are you talking about? Corden has always been a little annoying (as almost all comedians are, that sort of the point). It wasn't until he got to America that we totally corrupted him or something and he really got unbearable. I don't mind him all that much in this era of his.

He was good on this

I reckon it will be good for him. UK doesn't tolerate celebrity bs behaviour.

@@heartshapedisle Which is why we got rid of him in the first place.

some people live such sad lives.

Nah you're alright

CBS stupidly thought "he's got an accent too, they'll love him like they loved Craig." No. Craig was intelligent and entertaining. He made the show HIS. Corden was a bore.

I was beginning to think he lost his mind on the last big fat quiz because he started telling anecdotes that were either just not funny or they were downright disturbing like getting a dog's schlong dragged across his face...

Yeah the only funny moments were his

There was a point where it got a bit too much. It’s more fun when most of them take it somewhat seriously and for a year or two no one was.

Not in 2012, it wasn't.

@@mulrich Did it take that year off? Fair enough I guess, must be exhausting to maintain a meaning for almost a century.

@@snr0n while the noun version meaning "suspect" can be dated to the 1920s, and the adjective meaning "suspicious" can be dated to 1955, it didn't enter common usage until 2018, six years after this show was recorded.

​@@mulrich Nah, Partridge’s Concise Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English has the adjectival "sus" (for both "suspicious" and "suspect") going back to 1925. I'm sure you're not the only one who clearly learned the word for the first time through Among Us - nothing wrong with that at all, I can think of a fair few words I learned from games myself. But your own personal awareness level has no bearing on the fact that plenty of us were laughing at the hashtag being about "sus anal" at the time. Also, out of curiosity, how common does a word need to be for it to mean what it means? Is there just, like, a top 100, and everything else is nothing?

There's a reason why he's clinically obese and has failed the multiple attempts to lose weight lol.

He's got a physique to maintain.

😂I’m trying to work out which of the other four men on the show you’re leaving out (I’m hoping it’s Jonathan Ross)

When he was dancing to "Call Me Maybe" I got a very British Chris Farley vibe.

Because Richard sometimes goes AWOL and Gabby wants to win lol!

Man paid two pound fiddy to say that

Corden is actually a pretty funny dude, gets a bad rap because funny bloke does not always correlate to good late night host. I thought he was hilarious as smithy in gavin and stacey

@@jycegaming8530 he was playing a character while reading someone else's lines in Gavin and Stacey. That doesn't make him a funny person, it makes him an actor.

@Jyce Gaming he's just a rude wanker, seen plenty proof with my own eyes

@@Bren688 he literally wrote the script too...

@@fraserchapman2861 I think it was more like Ruth Jones (Nessa) wrote it and Cordon just helped a bit, then got writing credits for a little input. A bit like Robbie Williams and his "song writing credits". Smithy was a great character but no one will ever be able to convince me that James Corden is a funny person.

I’m definitely not questioning those two being on your list, but I do wonder about the word only. Specifically, I’m wondering did you see the episode with Mel B? I don’t think I realized how much she ruined the show until someone uploaded the episode edited without her.

@@hollybigelow5337 oh yeah Mel B didnt help that one for sure, good thing she was just one of thise celeb guests, or is she on another one? i really hope not lol

@@Vaisero I only saw the one. I hope so, too.

From how many I have seen, Mel B is only one episode. You can tell she really regrets agreeing to be on the show.

Three teams enter… one team leaves!

it's basically just a gimmicky excuse to have comedians banter. it's sort of a faux game show, but there's no real winners or losers, it's just for the sake of having fun. mock the week is similar, they do it almost like jepoardy mixed with who's line is it anyway, where they pick a topic, sort fo tell jokes around a recent news thing, then take breaks by, picking a topic and doing a minute or so of stand up comedy about it.

5:42 huh?

@@JuICyBLiinGeR is English your first language because that is a completely different thing than the title states. Furthermore he camly sat there after he said what you are reffering to...

Finish that thought. Made the episode unwatchable.

Jacks alright, Corden is just irritating and leaches off other comedians

Interesting how I found neither Corden nor Farley to be funny.

Anybody who puts corden and Farley in the same sentence should be beaten with hammers.

@@KentBuchla and there are people who didn't find Mr Bean funny so what's your point? Oh right you don't have one. I don't think much of Cordon but obviously others find him funny. They wouldn't have given him a show for that long if he didn't rate.

Take it back right fucking now. What an insult to Farley and his memory. Corden is the UK version of Fallon. Always laughing at .. nothing.

First off, it’s an amazing coincidence and that’s why it was so funny. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t also unfortunate but it’s not our fault for noticing and laughing. Secondly, who on the PR team didn’t notice what it said when written as one word for a hashtag??

If you read the title you would have noticed that this was Big Fat Quiz of 2012.

Typical unoriginal internet comments. This is actually one of the few times Corden shines. The energy and attitude just works perfectly in this show. Completely different than his cringey 2008 big fat quiz which he took himself way too seriously.

He looks like a drunk high school kid thinking "Oh man, this will be HILARIOUS!!" then laughs.

The only reason he's bearable is because he's paired with Whitehall, that's it.

But you can't polish a turd.

His delivery is absolutely lame. He likely doesn't write his jokes

I agree!!! He said the dumbest thing any human has ever said in this clip!

Mel B was the absolute worst... her bad attitude towards the concept of having fun made that whole show feel glum.

anyone is better then Mel B.

That's not a high bar and he barely scaled it

Anyone’s better than Mel B

The only good part of Mel B is when the rest of the panel started roasting her at the end because they were sick of her shit.

The guy next to him? True.

Nope. Wrong.

Jack and James deserve each other 😔

Actually, I thought they were pretty funny in this, Chuckles.
