Chris Moyles and James Corden. Have they sold their souls?

[MickeyTheBrick]

Does anybody else find that the omnipresent Corden is not funny at all? The same question regarding Chris 'Radio 1 Saviour' Moyles. I have listened to/watched him several times, but have yet to find him funny, witty, entertaining. It's not that I don't 'get him', it just seems that there's nothing to get.

I've never found Moyles funny. Just rude and offensive. I used to find James Corden funny but I feel he uses his weight as his main punchline and after not very long, it becomes old and not funny any more.

A lot of our new crop of 'slebs are one-trick-ponies.
I reach the end of their 'ability to amuse' quite quickly.........much as life, really.

I don't know about Moyles but Corden's Smithy is usually the best thing on Comic Relief...

[pa___ul3]

James Corden - "I'm fat and jolly"
Jo Brand - "I'm fat and miserable"
Frankie Boyle - "I say things you wouldn't"
Gina Yashere - "My mum's Nigerian"

that's their entire act covered!

[boxtops]

Don't like either of them.

[Everhelpful]

Neither do I,boxtops.

Moyles looks like he needs a good scrub and isn't funny. Corden sounds (and looks) like he's swallowed a four year old girl and she's calling for help and isn't funny. He was okay as an actor delivering someone elses well written lines but a high pitched voice and stretch marks lose their charms quickly in my humble opinion.

Both a waste of space - and quite a bit of space, too.

I laughed till I cried when James Corden was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks with Germaine Greer.
Funniest thing on tele in years.

[Canary42]

What a relief - other people find Corden clueless.

[weecalf]

Television is not great at the moment .I would rather watch a good topologist any day.Or what do you call those people who cut various animals ect out of hedges ,riveting ,Ship builders are riveting also

....so are people who put fasteners on pairs of jeans.

I have to agree re Cordon and initially I didn't 'get' Moyles at all. However the radio is on all day at work here and always Radio 1 and I have to say that Chris moyles has somewhat grown on me. Ys, he can sometimes rant on oblivious of the fact that he's on radio and therefore supposed to be entertaining the public, not just airing his grievances. But he does amuse me. Unfortunately his side kick 'Comedy Dave' leaves me cold and even more so since Olly Muirs stepped in for a week to cover his absence and was 100xs better than him.

But then I am only one .........

i think thats a sign of modern times though, we have a lesser attention span/tolerance. we like them, and then as soon as they become really popular, we like to hate them.
