Culture David Beckham James Corden Prank Uk

James Corden pranking David Beckham with a fake statue is brutally awkward

sudshr47 March 12, 2019

Sometimes the best pranks are the simplest ones. But not always. Every now and then, it’s the most elaborate jokes — ones that include hidden cameras, fake statues and a whole host of actors, for instance — that really hit home.

Enter James Corden. After hearing that David Beckham hadn’t seen the finalised version of a statue of himself that LA Galaxy are planning to unveil at an upcoming ceremony, the Late Late Show host decided to step in.

“I thought it might be fun to switch out the real statue with one that we made a little less flattering,” says Corden in the clip above.

Cue nine minutes of wonderful, wonderful awkwardness. Read more…

Entertainment Movies Tv Shows Northern Ireland Northern Ireland Conflict Uk

Derry Girls’ portrayal of Northern Irish women is a breath of fresh air

sudshr47 February 26, 2019

An inaccurate — and extremely irritating — TV and film stereotype is doing a disservice to the women of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Often, in TV and films, female characters from the island of Ireland are portrayed as victims. But, Derry Girls — which returns to screens on March 5 — is turning that tired-out trope on its head.

The TV show — the most-watched series in Northern Ireland since records began — tells the stories of Erin, Orla, Clare, and Michelle — four teenage girls at a convent school in Derry, Northern Ireland. It’s set in the ’90s during the Troubles — the three-decade sectarian conflict between nationalists and unionists. Read more…

Chris O Dowd Donald Trump Kal Penn The Late Late Show With James Corden Uk

Chris O’Dowd tries to guess what Trump’s laugh sounds like and it’s horrifyingly funny

sudshr47 February 22, 2019

Comedian Chris O’Dowd can only presume that U.S. President Donald Trump is not familiar with his work. This is due to the fact that the comedian and actor has never heard the president let out so much as a chuckle.

“I’ve never heard the man laugh!” O’Dowd told James Corden on The Late Late Show.

Corden then asked O’Dowd and the other guest of the evening, comedian Kal Penn, to try and imitate the president laughing — with hilariously high pitched and slightly unsettling results.

It that really what Trump’s laugh sounds like? No one knows… Read more…

Kal Penn tells hilariously unnerving story about not getting paid for a movie

What do you do if you’re working on a movie that’s two days from wrapping and you still don’t have any money to show for it?

Well, if you’re Kal Penn, you go on strike. In the clip above from The Late Late Show with James Corden, the actor told the story of an independent movie he was shooting in India that he hadn’t been paid for — and what happened after he refused to show up on set in protest, on the advice of some Bollywood actors.

What follows is an anecdote that’s both funny and a tad unnerving. Read more…

These super slow motion close-ups of birds are totally mesmerising

sudshr47 February 21, 2019

Getting close enough to watch a bird of prey blinking is not an easy thing to achieve. In fact, it’s safe to say that, IRL, it would be pretty much impossible.

Luckily, we have The Slow Mo Guys on YouTube to make this gorgeous sight available to us, up close and in super slow motion.

Thanks to their super slow motion shooting, the clip above gives a pretty spectacular view of a golden eagle blinking sideways using its nictitating membrane — a see-through blinking eyelid.

Fascinating. Read more…

If you were wondering when the jokes about Fyre Festival are likely to stop, the answer would appear to be: not anytime soon.

Culture John Oliver Late Night With Seth Meyers Politics Uk

John Oliver has some stark thoughts about the 2020 elections

sudshr47 February 19, 2019

Are the 2020 elections worth going into in any great detail at the moment?

John Oliver isn’t so sure.

“The bar’s pretty low now,” the comedian and Last Week Tonight host told Seth Meyers. “Whenever anyone announces for president now you just go, ‘Sure, fine — yeah, added to the list, you’re fine. Kamala Harris, great. Bernie Sanders, great. A tortoise, walking across an abandoned Wendy’s parking lot? Has he got an exploratory committee? You would work as well.'”

Oliver thinks that right now, there isn’t much to see when it comes to new candidates putting themselves forward.

“It’s dangerous I think giving it too much attention right now when there’s plenty of other **** we should be looking at,” he said. Read more…
