Corden & Becks on Sport Relief

[chirpychirpy]

I know it's all for a good cause, but what did you make of the James Corden / David Beckham sketch? Personally, I didn't think it was funny - just weird - and I didn't 'get' it.

I found it mildly amusing.................but I only like him as Smithy (not Beckham.....I love Beckham)

Well rehearsed/ set up, funny in parts, all for Sport relief so all good!

[Sachs]

Already did methyl x

I don't think you got the joke methyl. It was all set up and filmed at last year's Sports Personality of the Year Awards. The famous faces were "keeping" their faces straight.
A worthy cause.

David Beckham and James Corden - absolutely brilliant!! What a good sport David Beckham is. No-one was offended at the awards - it was all good - all for a great cause!! Lighten up!!

[1955]

It was making fun of David being a gay icon!!

[sanden]

Brilliant stuff, especially the Becks bit - I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saw JC on Jonathan Ross - he said where other personalities gave them maybe 20mins to an hour to film the sketches, DB gave about a day and a half free of charge - that is truly in the spirit of the cause. What they produce from that is pretty irrelevant. Personally, I thought it was great.

it wasnt making fun of him being a gay icon. It was just a sketch prentending he trained them all. I foun it hilarious and good on beckham

[Panic Button]

That peeing marathon woman, whose name I forget, was not just keeping a straight face.
She was seriously not amused.

I don't find him funny either.

[4getmenot]

they were all in on it, if you watched the making of it later you'd have seen they were all up for it

[1955]

You mean Paula Radcliffe

[4getmenot]

although it was all scripted and I dont find him funny in other things. I remember him when he was in hollyoaks

[Panic Button]

Yeah, that's her.

James Corden is a here-today-gone-tomorrow would-be comic (and I use the word quite wrongly) who is funny in his own mind. In a year he will be forgotten like the wallpaper that used to hang in your living room but has now vanished without trace. No malice intended, just my opinion.
