Horne and Corden

[Xena Worried prince]

is it a Hit or a must miss show ?

I have to admit that I have tried and failed to find more then 10% of their new comedy show funny

Is it me or are they just trying too hard to reap in their 15 minutes of fame at the moment ?

[snorky]

it is shit

[david_carnell]

What snorky said.

One-Trick Ponies...

[snorky]

its up there with Ab Fab & little Britain as something I just cannot get and cannot fathom.

[Xena Worried prince]

Thank the lord that it isn't just me then !!!

Just read that their film has only grossed 384,000

What a pity as they have some real talent (Gavin and Stacey) but they haven't really been able to demonstrate it in other formats so far.

[mockney piers]

Likeable chaps, half decent comedy actors.

Dreadful show, truly nothing to even raise a corner of the mouth. Less milking their fame than making very poor decisions about where to go with it. See also Lesbian Vampire Killers (or rather, don't)

Lesbian Vampire killers says it all really doesn't it. If I were family I'd disown them.

I wholly agree. For one thing, I find the title ambiguous and confusing. Is the film about:-

a) Lesbians who kill vampires

b) Killers of lesbian vampires

c) Lesbian vampires who are also killers (kind of a tautology, non?)

d) Two unattractive men who would like to make sexist comments about and later stab to death gorgeous women who don't want to have sex with them, while pretending to be in a comedy.

Fatty and Smug are awful. Clearly their agent has wandered into the BBC and said they'll do a sketch show for cheap. Just pay those two huge fees and they'll save on the rest by writing it themselves and doing it cheaply. BBC gets current hot talent on TV, Horne & Corden get paid a ruck load of money, nobody laughs.

They have two jokes - one is sniggering at homosexuality and the other is that Fatty can wave his belly around.

Has anyone seen the Al Murray sketch show? I have heard that is almost as bad.

[Cassius]

Miss miss and then miss again.

[LegalEagle-ish]

Yep, I concur!

[jaybee82]

The most talentless pair of misfits to grace the telly this year.

[northlondoner]

Agreed. It's pretty poor stuff. But compared to two pints of lager, its Seinfeld.

[LegalEagle-ish]

How dare you - (old) Two Pints is pure class, topped only by Family Guy!

[Moos]

Glad you said that, LegalE - I like 2 Pints too!

[woofmarkthedog]

Poor & smug however....

we sat and watched an episode of the Goodies on dvd & then the England match, my 4 year old pointed out that the Ukraine manager looked like Tim Brooke Taylor

Agreed he did...mmmm

[JetSetWilly]

even gavin and stacey post series one was crap, the sketch show is even worse and the various chat/game/charity show appearances, cringeworthy.

good article in y,days guardian about the pair and their fall from grace.

[red devil]

Victims of their own success.

Series 1 was written whilst Corden and the actress who plays Nessa were unknown. Lots of time, no deadlines. Then all of a sudden demands for the second series (which is ok), Chrimbo specials, and now this series and that film...think Noel Gallagher after the Definitely Maybe & Morning Glory albums...

[ralphation]

What, coked up to the eyeballs?

I heard they didn't write "Lesbian Vampire Killers" - which is surprising given how poor it is and how obvious and childish the humour. I imagine it was made a little before they got quite so famous. Nonetheless, they still agreed to do it so shame on them.

[BigPhil]

Horne has just collasped at some show he was acting in , He looked so lifeless , everyone thought it was part of the act. it took 5 minutes of him lying there for someone to realise it wasnt acting

[woofmarkthedog]

What COCAINE in showbiz...........whatever next "Roofers" on a Friday nite in the BI***P on it next

Shi* no

Moos said "Glad you said that, LegalE - I like 2 Pints too!"

and the rest, Moos: we've seen you at the drinks!

Horne and Corden are on the beeb so everyone knows they're hopeless - Al Murray is on ITV so no one knows whether or not he's unfunny.

[ratty]

Some bits are amusing, some bits not.
