    It wasn't THAT bad...

    It was OK i guess, i wasn't really expecting much. I'm a 15 year old girl so i thought i would give the show a try and see how it was. The majority of my friends hated it.

    The series has finished now and its quite forgettable as i'm struggling to pick out a funny scene.

    I was kind of disappointed with the show actually, i liked them both in Gavin and Stacey but this wasn't as funny as i wanted it to be. The same with the movie. Which i was reluctant to see.

    If you like repetitive, ongoing jokes you will enjoy this show, but overall it's just OK.

    Pinnacle of comedy.

    I quite enjoyed Gavin and Stacey, so I was looking forward to seeing the two boys with their own sketch show. "What could go wrong?" I asked myself. And the answer, was nothing. From the joke where the fat one wobbles his belly to the joke where the thin one rolls around on the fat one, I was in creases for the entirety of the first episode. By the time second episode came around, I was a little cautious - could they have lost their touch? Would the material have gotten stale after the first, mindblowing, series of sketches? It was a worry, to be sure!

    Once again, however, I was not disappointed. This time around, the fat one and the thin one were being superheroes, with an hilarious homosexual subtext as the fat one hugged the thin one for a clearly uncomfortable length of time, and touched his leg as well. But, even should this prove a little too "close-to-the-bone", as it were, for some viewers - fear not. There were still some classic moments, such as the sketch where the fat one wobbled his belly again, or the camp news reporter getting into all sorts of sticky situations - much to the dismay of his boss back in the studio!!

    I'm four episodes in now and I can't wait until next week's. I hope the fat one and the thin one do some dancing again, because that was just the bee's knees of comedy. The only complaint I have is that I could not be in the audience for the studio section - Fingers crossed for a season 2!!!

    excruciating

    I've always felt that Horne and Corden are overrated in the flavour of the month Gavin and Stacey but it seems they are beginning to believe their own hype.

    This " sketch show" represents the nadir in a shameful line of allegedly comic failures the BBC has produced in recent years.

    The arrogance of the duo is that anything they do is funny and they don't really have to try..they're not the first TV celebrities to think this of themselves and they probably won't be the last.

    The thing is: fat people are not intrinsically funny, homosexuals are not intrinsically funny.

    The thin one is not funny and quite dour but he is not offensive.The fat one is just downright annoying.He has no talent at all.

    Avoid...and pray they don't get a second series.

    Thoroughly ignorable, frustratingly unfunny.

    Not only because of the puerile, idiotic subject matter of the sketches but also because of the simple lack of comedy are Horne and Corden utterly depraved and without hope walking alone in the comedy world. A degree of skill in comedic acting of course does not imply a skill in comedic writing, Horne & Corden being the perfect example. How the two ended up with creative control… well, I shudder to think how the producers couldn't seem to tell them that the material being filmed just wasn't funny. I disliked it from episode one but I gave it a fighting chance. However, instead of fighting it floundered, and not once in three episodes have I laughed. And don't get me wrong, I'm a fun guy. I'll crack a smile at the worst of times, only Horne & Corden was worse than I thought possible. And it's a shame, too. I really was prepared to like it. I like them both so much. Or at least I thought I did.

    The sketch show is of course a dangerous beast, the best some do is pack a decent amount of laughs into the first few episodes before the whole affair gets stale, but these two idiots have managed to produce a purely depressing programme in which the sketches drag on with no real jokes of any possible identification. Sit through a Xander sketch and try not to squirm. Switch off as the two morons dressed in super hero outfits ramble on about God-knows-what, but it sure as hell isn't funny. Then turn off the TV.

    This programme would have been thoroughly ignorable if it hadn't been for the BBC's hype of it and the popularity of Gavin and Stacy.

    I can't believe it's comedy

    Firstly I'll confess to being one of those strange people who don't think that Gavin and Stacey is the most wonderful sitcom in history, but as much as I could do, I tried out Horne and Corden with as open a mind as possible.

    I need not of bothered, I can sum it up by saying throughout the shows I've seen, my mouth has literally dropped open in amazement, at just how unfunny and lame this show is.

    The 'studio' segments are dismal only serving to show up James Corden as a deeply irritating 'man of the moment' and sadly once into the sketch parts, it doesn't improve. Numerous 'ha ha look at Corden's belly jokes' are bad enough but the 'gay northern reporter' is comedy reaching a new low.

    I'm all for offensive comedy personally, but to work it really has to be funny, nothing I saw in this debacle reached that level.
