I appreciate your LOL.
Michael McIntyre JUST ANNOYS ME.
I dunno if it is the hair or his giddy over excitedness as he tells a joke but I don't much rightly like him.

Michael McIntyre used to really annoy me, but he's now one of the funniest comedians currently working, IMO.
Never had much of an opinion either way of James Corden, but have been feeling more 'positive' towards him of late.
Baasically, you have to realise that the 'crying with laughter thing' Corden does isn't fake, it seems to be genuine.
After that he isn't so annoying.
When I'd only seen him on one panel show doing it I thought he might be a bit of a tosser, but he does it all the time, so I guess it's just how he laughs.
He's all right really!
I used to think Corden and Tony Way were the same person. Their faces in my mind would blur into one. Dunno why? Where did Corden come from and how long has he been around? And when is he going back?

Coorden. Hmm... Was in Teachers as a geeky pupil when I saw him first. And in that film History Boys.
I should imagine both he and Tony Way will be well pleased about this.

Was it their? That one always catches me out.
Yep.
James Corden singing the Ting Tings- That's Not My Name was the highlight of the show, surely?
So, what did people think of the 2009 episode?
I welcomed the début of Charlie Brooker as a panellist and felt that him and David Mitchell made a very funny team.
I felt there were no overly huge personalities this year to dominate the show (Corden last year, the combination of Fielding and Brand the previous two) which I'm still in two minds about.
No Walliams = Good
Still can't figure out why people keep inviting Rob Brydon on panel shows. He may be a funny comic actor and writer, but panel shows don't seem to be his forte.
I've always hated these, the guests, the format and the length. But had it on this year, in the background and thought it had some funny moments. Nothing memorable, but at least I didn't feel the need to change the channel.
Jimmy Carr's laugh annoyed me right from the start.
Ross and Brand were, at best, tiresome. The latter displaying both his (occasional) wit and his complete lack of skill in delivery. Together, running their entire performance on the back of the 'scandal' 14 months ago. So terribly mundane.
I always enjoy Claudia's appearances on these things. She's a lot of fun. Brydon was good, but I'd probably agree that the format doesn't utilise his talents appropriately.
Mithcell and Brooker by far the best team, but whilst Charlie was quite funny and refreshing, I found David to be, well, a bit dull if I'm honest. I think I'm suffering from over-exposure to him.
Overall, B+. Could do better.

It would have been unwatchable without Ross and Brand. Brooker was a laugh-free zone.
Ross and Brand were just irritating. I quite like Rob Brydon on quiz shows, actually. His little man in a box voice (I hadn't heard it before, perhaps he does it a lot?) made me laugh.
Brooker and Mitchell were too quiet, I usually find them both funny. Think they were just drowned out by Ross and Brand. They weren't particularly animated, mind. There seemed to be a lot of shots of Brooker turning to Mitchell and going "what?!" which just sort of made it look like he wasn't particularly enjoying it. Though Mitchell looked quite bored, too.
I LOVE his little man in a box voice!
I've heard it two (or three?) times now, and it hasn't got old.
