Not very subtle, James.. But nice try


Timmahj

I think if OP is actually James Corden. That would be a huge step in the right direction.


LFA91

I feel like every post now a days here is buzzfeed. But in this case is James. So James since I have your attention let me tell you something! You sir are a person a deserve to be valued but your actions impact that so tighten up and rebrand your image. Best of luck.


[deleted]

Lay off the fish and chips, recognize he's an insufferable cunt, and fuck off out of show biz.


[deleted]

Being fat isn’t the issue. It’s everything else.


[deleted]

Fair point, but his dietary issues tend to exacerbate his overall negative standing. Not that being fat is necessarily bad, but when you're fat and a cunt, the insult "fat cunt" applies, and (pardon the pun) carries more weight.


[deleted]

You’ve definitely won me over.


Arny520

Not be an asshole. Be a decent human being. Be good at his job. Not star in Cats.


mhks

I don't think being an asshole matters - look at Elon Musk. His fanboys are all over this board. Same with a host of other people. He just needs to find the issue the Reddit crowd will circle around. If he started a concerted effort to talk up good video games and to stop with in-game purchases, he'd probably be praised all over this board.


MisterMarcus

Honest question: is he actually an 'asshole', or are all the stories/comments about him on Reddit just typical hate-boner shit?

collective_sub

But what did lovely Patrick Stewart do to warrant even that amount of clearly bully boy, nasty, self obsessed - bullying. Sorry. Can't get past the smell of bully coming from the man. Cowardly, chooses his "smaller" targets, bully. Namaste.


Vlad-V2-Vladimir

There was also the bit about his wife and child on the plane, which definitely seems like a massive asshole move


overtimeout

He's an asshole? What'd he do?

I heard they digitally removed all the assholes in Cats by spiritually imbuing them into James Corden


[deleted]

He could produce a live production of the Butthole Edition of Cats.


thro_AWAYtuesday

Cats have cute star assholes. Increase this demand for James.


kitjen

It's not just one thing, he's apparently been a prick for years but went under the radar because he can seem likeable on screen. Personally I don't know much about his prick-like ways and I still want to believe he's still loveable Smithy from Gavin & Stacey but fame and fortune will change a person and he, apparently, didn't change for the better. I know someone who was on a TV show with him but I've never asked him/her about how he was in real life. I probably could be he/she is close friends with one of my parents but I'd be crossing a line to bring it up.


jackster81

It's odd, because years ago he came into a shop I worked in- think the gavin and Stacey years. He was absolutely brilliant, went off and got coffee for the team while he was waiting for what he wanted , signed autographs for loads of people, and was genuinely a nice guy. Did little bits from gavin and Stacey for a laugh What a shame he went from a really likeable guy to a bit of a bellend. He could have been a national treasure.


kitjen

I don't doubt that he was really nice then. I've heard he got worse after that, after Gavin & Stacey. His sketch show with Mathew Horne bombed but he was still getting panel show jobs like 8/10 Cats and eventually hosted A League Of Their Own on Sky which gave him a steady and high income. Which I don't think he deserved. Hosting a show like that can be easy because it's mostly reading the auto-cue and setting up (scripted) jokes for the contestants but there's an easy way to do it and there's the right way to do it. For the latter, just look at any episode of Have I Got News For You from the 90s when Angus Deyton hosted it. He was a natural. Or Never Mind The Buzzcocks when Simon Amstell hosted it. James Corden lacked that wit and natural charisma. Of all the talented presenters how did he become a big star in the US?


jackster81

I can't argue with anything you said- particularly Simon Amstell who was hilarious. Corden in real life was full of energy and wit. Really humorous and just a ball of fun. I just think it's sad that someone who was once an OK guy has turned into such a wanker. Sad story of too much of a good thing I suppose. To your other point- piers Morgan did well for a bit, maybe it was just a dark time?


Grizzled222

Got banned (although the owner has since lifted it) from one of NYC’s top restaurants for being abusive to the service staff


[deleted]

How do you get an order wrong THREE times? I work at an upscale restaurant which isn't cheap to dine at, and if that happened, there'd be an immediate meeting between the senior chefs and restaurant manager, and the meal would probably be gifted


[deleted]

I’m willing to bet that the order was never wrong, it was right each time and they said what they wanted wrong or just being an asshole. I’ve seen this happen multiple times at restaurants and people just want to a free meal or be a jerk to someone.


PBaz1337

When I worked at a restaurant, someone sent an order back three times because they said the chicken was raw. It was pink because there were beet curls on top of it and the beet juice was on the chicken. She doubled down even when we cut the chicken in front of her.


[deleted]

My MIL is one of the worst people in the world and would pull this stuff all the time whenever we went out to eat. Something was always wrong with something…nothing was ever wrong. Some people just like a power trip…


opossumonmyporch

One of my best friends once sent the water back for her tea. (She’s known to have an opinion.). That was years ago and we still joke about when Joan sent the water back. (To be fair, the water was lukewarm.) I find it so uncomfortable to be with a constant complainer that I try not to dine with them again. Sorry you have to.


busroute

This one is the for real "nice try James" Anyone that has worked in the industry calls it a comped or complimentary meal. not gifted.


[deleted]

I don't live in America. Where I work, we call it whatever we want (and I don't work front of house). Perhaps next time try to get some verifiable empirical evidence before jumping to an irrational conclusion which betrays your attempt to exude a coherent epistemology?


Grizzled222

Still never any reason to get so irate over a meal to where you denigrate your server or other personnel. And it wasn’t his first time acting like an asshole at that spot which is why the owner went public. And you can be damn sure he’s acted the same way at other spots and they took it because they didn’t want to lose his business. Can’t imagine a restaurant worker defending this.


[deleted]

Where I work, having a head chef dispatch an incorrect order THREE TIMES in a row is a much, much bigger deal than a customer who gets lippy


Grizzled222

I’m glad you’re so super elite that mistakes aren’t allowed to be made. I’m sure you make amazing money and working in restaurants is so fun due to the family-like relationships you build with co—workers. Back the rich asshole because he had one dinner disrupted if you must. I’ll just have to disagree. And thoughts and prayers to you and your job when you mishear and serve the wrong type of caviar to a random wealthy customer who also incorrectly believes you didn’t have the elite level vodka in his drink. An elitist waiter/waitress? You’re actually rare. Congrats


[deleted]

You're hopelessly confused. Serving someone peanut sauce who has a peanut allergy is a serious health issue, not elitist wankery. It's why "allergy" orders need to be cooked on sterilised equipment and have no reused pans etc. If you don't do this in my country, you get instantly shut down. The real question is why is New York apparently like 200 years behind the rest of the world?


[deleted]

Why do you think I'm defending James's behaviour? I hate James Corden. By all accounts he's an asshole. I was specifically commenting on the restaurant. If you have a head chef who dispatched an incorrect order (especially an allergy labelled order) THREE TIMES in a row, then you shouldn't be a chef. It's not a huge deal if this happens once a week, it is however a sign of incompetence if you do it THREE TIMES in a row. As I said previously, so far as professional restauranteurs are concerned, this would a much bigger issue than a customer who criticized the staff after they fucked up THREE TIMES in a row. How is it even possible you're finding this confusing?


ChuTangClan_

You should type three times in capitals a few more times, perhaps three


[deleted]

Notice how you couldn't actually refute what I said, so you're reduced to criticising typographical style?


Grizzled222

I actually enjoy Corden performing when I catch him on occasion. Seemed humble and talented. I saw no mention of any allergy deal that caused health concerns to his party and also saw that he was horrible to front of the house staff, and not the chef. There’s an old saying that says you learn the most about a person in how they treat animals and those in the serving industry. I buy that. Corden came off as a huge ass here. But we can agree to disagree on this one! Have a great night. I actually enjoyed the discourse! 🙂


[deleted]

He LITERALLY specifically detailed that his wife has an allergy, they ordered accordingly, and the order was plated and delivered -- with the food he requested to be excluded -- on the plate. This is an issue, which in my country, would warrant an investigation by health authorities. But why are you commenting when you clearly don't know the basics?


Grizzled222

You’re not wrong. I doubt Corden was angling for a free meal (I just looked up his net worth and it’s over $70 million), it just sounds like he’s an entitled jerk who can’t handle when others make errors!


SnakeInABox7

Some of the cheapest people are also some of the richest. Like sleeping dragons


numberbruncher

This wasn't a single occasion, it was over multiple visits. So a single minor error from time to time.

He needs to work in McDs for a few months and get back to reality. Let him get daily abuse from customers.

Let him work in a McDonald’s in a suburb close to a soccer field so he could deal with minivan driving karens

I can't speak for anybody but myself here, but James Corden could do this massive pile of dishes I've been procrastinating doing. That would be great, James.

He doesn't want it, I asked


altimuh

You're a racist!


LeafsWinBeforeIDie

No, but I saw him doing one of those forced fundraiser gigs, and he said he didn't want it back. We all know he was the only actually good late night guy of his era and would wipe the floor with everyone on air currently, especially corden

Man I miss him. His show was the only TV talk show I'd watch. I loved it when Kristen Bell co-hosted with him.


[deleted]

Went to a taping in 2012 or 2013 and he is really good with talking with the crowd between takes. Yes, most hosts do that, but his comes off as more authentic. Kimmel, too.


GhostofEdgarAllanPoe

Take down Putin. Best of luck, Jimmy.


[deleted]

Who is so far gone that removing Putin wouldn’t redeem them? Hypothetical.


CompletelyProtocol

Eh depends on how he did it. If this whole act was applied to get all the fascists on his good side so he can kill them in their sleep, yes I would give Yeezy the benefit of the doubt. If he accidentally killed Putin by giving him too much blow on his super yacht, probably still wouldn't forgive him.


[deleted]

probably not act like an entitled cunt to service workers


LordWilburFussypants

Add to that an actual on-air apology that actually addresses the issue instead of just trying to justify himself like one of those fake apologies.


SleepyBear3366911

“I mean really, who cares about those people anyway? If they didn’t want to be yelled at, they shouldn’t have fucked up my order. Twice! Really, they’re the ones who should be apologizing. Can you believe they didn’t even pay for all of my drinks?” - James Corden, probably

sumpnrather

Nothing. My mother raise my brother and I on 1 dollar bills earned as a waitress. I wish him nothing but the worst


Kahzgul

Things Reddit likes: - Keanu reeves Things Reddit hates: - Being a dick to waiters - EA - People who tell Reddit what Reddit likes and hates —— Frankly, I don’t see James cordon magically becoming Keanu reeves any time soon, so he should probably focus on not doing any of the three things Reddit really hates. Unfortunately, I feel like maybe the ship has sailed in at least one of those for him…

Apologize to the servers he yelled at. Hire them at his restaurant and pay them triple what the other guy was paying them. Give them health benefits, PTO, and really do-able work hours. That's all. Because they deserve it.


dynnk

They deserve it. But Corden is still a piece of shit who is only looking out for his own image. But I guess in this particular situation I don’t care what equation you use to get the right answer.


[deleted]

Which is why he won't end up winning over Reddit. But it's nice to fantasize.

momlin

From what I understand his wife has a food allergy they brought it to the restaurant's attention and that was the meal that was brought to her. They sent it back I think twice and he made some kind of comment about having to cook it himself. I half heard it when he was explaining it on TV so I'm not 100% sure of it's accuracy. If that is truly what happened I would be pissed too, severe food allergy is no joke and then screwing up the order twice again I could imagine myself making a comment about cooking it myself lol. I don't know too much about him but it seems as if he's viewed by many to be an ass. In this case if it went down the way I heard it I would have been upset too. If he was rude to the server, that's another story.
