Page 1 of Dear god- Corden and Horne

This confirms my lack of faith in British tv.

I knew this would be terrible. Two mates were yesterday claiming it was funny, so I`m watching the repeat to know that my opinion is correct.

F*** me, I expected for it not to be very funny, but this has far exceeded my expectation for how s***e it would be.

21 seconds I knew it was going to be ludicrously bad, the way they were doing the "we`re big time" ego push.

Then the first sketch come on. Really bad.


I`ve actually watched that Gavin and Stacey and it`s alright. Not worth the hype it`s been getting, but worth a watch, although I thought the Christmas special was poor.

Hey! I really enjoy Gavin and Stacey and I though Horne and Corden was alright. There was a couple of times I laughed out loud - which is rare for me with British sketch shows. I also thought Corden`s sketch with the England footy team was one of the highlights of Comic Relief (though that`s not saying much). Out of the sketches, the one with the old school friends meeting in the park was good, and I thought Corden`s Ricky Gervais was a great impression.:)

I actually saw them perfoming some of these sketches at a charity gig, and it was one of the highlights of the night. Really good performers in front of a crowd.

I watched the Al Murray one the other night (and I like Al Murray), but I thought it was much worse than H&C.

I agree with Ben. I thought it was pretty good (not actually great though) - and that Al Murray wasn`t.
About 5 minutes into H&C, I was feeling pretty disappointed, but then things picked up and I enjoyed the rest. The `old schoolfriend` sketch was brilliant, as well as the camp reporter.
According to the Radio Times, next week`s episode is better, as well.

Absolutely dire. I really enjoy Gavin & Stacey but this just left me sitting there thinking `when are the funny bits coming`?

Corden did an amusing Gervais impression, but that was it - not holding out a great deal of hope for Lesbian Vampire Killers now sadly.

I thought it was just terrible too.
The fat one`s sketch with the England team was good, but their sketch show was dire.

I like James Corden from times I;ve seen him on NMTB (and such other panel games) and also I liked the thing he did for comic relief with the England team

I dont really watch sketch shows anymore - I just dont think they are funny
(Little Britain, Catherine Tate but to name a couple)

The last "series" I watched was Harry Enfield and that was probably at least 10 yrs ago

I dont really find the office funny either - and that I felt was just a sketch show with every sketch in the office with only one set of characters

Give me proper stand up any day!!!

Did you see Jason Manford on comic relief?
Boy, did he bomb.... :/

Really?? Going to see him in September, normally been impressed with all his standup/appearances. Hope he was just having an off night or something

Edit¦: Just watched on youtube, thought he was just as funny as normal, the crowd obviously didn`t. Maybe they`d dosed off by that point.

Found all of it rather unfunny, except the last sketch where they danced. That was absolutely classic, and for some reason completely missing from iPlayer.
