    Why do people seem to hate him so much?

    I read about some restaurant incident this week, but Corden had already apologised for that and acknowledged that he had acted like an idiot. I only know him for his "carpool karaoke" videos really, but even though his overly cheerful style can be somewhat annoying at times, I can't hate him for being somewhat annoying.

    Is he the next James Blunt that people hate for no apparent reason, or have I missed something?

    No I think he is just disliked because he is smug and successful - I dont think he has done anything particularly bad anywhere
    The Blunt one was even more bizarre though because all I have found about him is he is a thoroughly decent bloke

    I think he's admitted that early in his career he wasn't very nice to people.
    I've always pretty much ignored him tbh. I put him in the Ant and Dec category really. Highly overrated for doing very little.

    He’s made it big time in the States so he’s doing something right

    There's plenty of documentary type stuff on YouTube about him. Vile fella.

    This long read helps....



    Lots of horrible stories about him including one where on a plan journey he ignored his wife struggling with their baby.

    The video of him with Patrick Stewart is a fairly cringe watch and I think shows his petulant side.
    James Corden might be a lot of things, but I draw the line at him being labelled a comedian.

    Search ‘Limmy James Corden’ in YouTube. He pretty much nails it.

    I don't hate him, as you say he seems a decent sort but I really can't stand his singing...

    Got no issue with Blunt at all. I find his music offensive to the point of bordering on satanic, but I just don’t listen to it. He always comes over as a decent enough bloke, who can have a laugh at himself when he needs to. His Twitter is class at times.

    Corden however. Cnt.

    I love how self aware Blunt is. Threatens people by saying he'll make more music always makes me chuckle

    It’s a British thing Tomi, someone makes it big and without doing much wrong the hate crowd have their moments .
    I don’t particularly like his entertainment and mostly turn him off when he’s on , but I wouldn’t chase him down on social media or anywhere tbh , he’s not my cup of tea but he is others cup of tea no need for hate and spitefulness .
    We do get it in Barnsley as well with some of our own celebrities .

    I remember seeing a dare/forfeit thing on his own show where his guest (who seemed to dislike him) said he could avoid a forfeit if he could tell him the name of any of his cameramen. He did the forfeit.

    He also once turned up at a Writers' Guild meeting to advocate for being able to pay writers less.

    This isn't a case of slagging someone who does well, the bloke is a ****.

    Jimmy Kimmel so a rival light entertainment presenter. His mask slips pretty often.

    I saw him road rage in Camden town, one afternoon. Pedestrians not crossing the Delancey Road quick enough, in front of his DB7. Penis head.
    Mike Leigh gave him a good start in acting, 20 odd years back. But he spunked it to be a fat token celebrity. **** house..

    I can't understand why the Yanks have taken to Corden so much, because hes a complete yanker. And hes a talentless unfunny one as well!. :eek:
