[@user-jq1nm3bu1m]

Darquise Reinhardt I get what you’re saying, but it was clearly a joke given the delivery of the statement. And he rushed straight to them at the end and thanked them while shaking their hands.

[@tringreyshepard3879]

This video was made a lot funnier by them attempting accents

[@TheChickenlittle11]

None of them attempted any of the others except for just French.

[@Bronzescorpion]

@@TheChickenlittle11 Some lines are easier for some accents. The stretch of the vowels in lonely made for an easy French. If there were th that could have been switched for a s/z, it would have made for an easy German e.g. "that was awkward" becomes "zat was awkward".

[@joooooolea]

“yew lwook lonelaye” from the first guy absolutely killed me oo and the last one gosh

It's just like the British panel show 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' where they do the same thing. They knew what they were paid for!

@@owainhughes7770 Exactly! Owain Hughes, huh. But do you?

[@davidsinnott1894]

The audience saw the clip and cheered for number 2 a little after he said “you look lonely” the first time without the accent. Kinda gave it away.

[@CLICKFORCAROLINE]

David Sinnott she heard the clip too just didn’t see it

[@5abijattz1]

CLICK FOR CAROLINE but everyone else seen the clip so they knew it was him

[@VirtualShowingsTN]

Right? And Sutton is a smart cookie.

[@josephbarra9383]

Yep. Ruined the game.

[@devilofheaven13]

So I think she didn't guess who he was first time. That's why they gave her hint by making all other four participants to speak with accent, and #2 no accent. Voila

[@samanthamasse668]

Love James but did not expect when clicking on this video to see him bully a bunch of scrawny nerdy men

[@anugrahadeborah6362]

Exactly right 👀

[@hannahsmith3344]

there's a TV game show in the UK that has this game as a segment in the show - i think James is taking from that - they make fun of the whole line - i'm sure they know what they signed up for kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZy0anWIlrJ2na8

[@redheadredemption1573]

He's been a comedy writer for a few shows, including the Pete Holmes show and this one. That may have been the acting highlight for him, but he's had a nice career

[@rubygomez2848]

I know James was trying to be funny but he came off as rude

[@owainhughes7770]

Not rude at all. Just purely channeling his British humour which is a lot less sensitive and harsher... they all knew what they singed up for. I thought it was kinda funny, reminded me of Jimmy Carr or Ricky Gervais

[@owainhughes7770]

For all those who don’t know who she is: She is a broadway icon (and my personal idol) it’s ok that you don’t know her because now you get to experience the awesomeness that is Sutton. Now I STRONGLY encourage you to go listen to her shows (anything goes, shrek, thoroughly modern Mille, young Frankenstein, little women) and even watch her tv show Younger if you want. She even makes an appearance in Gilmore Girls:A Year In The Life. She stared in the short lived series Bunheads. She’s just really talented and amazing ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND HAPPINESS ❤️❤️❤️

[@katbowl9971]

Sutton is extremely talented. I loved Bunheads. Wish it would have lasted longer.

Bunheads was my shit but I hate they took the show off.

[@typingnoises]

I just heard someone tell me I look lonely 5 times. I almost forgot this was a tonight show clip and not real life

[@jessicadoucette893]

why was james being so mean to the guys? it's just uncomfortable...

[@brnexus7475]

Because he was the fat kid always bullied and now that he's got some fame and power he feels he can be the bully now.

[@fightclub6291]

I think he thinks it's endearing?? I get that he's British and they can take the piss...but he just seems like a jerk to me in most of his interviews. Like he's basically accomplished nothing relative to his guests...but still needs to talk more than he listens??

[@NikoleBensing1693]

I am so glad Sutton picked the right Nate Fernald. Poor Nate, he seemed so uncomfortable until she got it right.

[@jennhoff03]

He looked uncomfortable to me afterwards, too! ;'D But he was certainly a good sport for doing this! :)

[@gracie.elexis]

ok but number 5 is absolutely adorable

lol i love how James is just bringing every part of British TV to America as if it's an original idea. Never Mind the Buzzcocks, anyone?

[@katheriner10]

I was thinking the same thing! If people liked this they would have loved Buzzcocks, Simon Amstell is a considerably smarter comedian than James lol. Though I think this segment is perhaps best left in the past.

[@jordiel8393]

Yes it is I like James but this bit is old never mind the buzzcocks was awesome and that version was way funnier

The humour seemed a bit off this segment and show with Sutton. Idk why, but James seemed a bit more rude and biting than usual :-/

[@meanvillan666]

NH.-B that’s his British humour showing. Our humour is more harsher you could say and is more “offensive” but it’s all jokes

[@CandyWorld30]

I think James was a bit rude to them

[@owainhughes7770]

CandyWorld30 Nah, that’s so tame compared to British comedy, James already has to notch it down to provide cheesy American comedy, but that’s wasn’t rude at all. Probably one of the funniest bits. You should check our Ricky Gervais / Jimmy Carr if you think he’s bad.

Don't go to britain

[@tamchachua]

British folks, who used to watch Never Mind the Buzzcocks on BBC around a decade ago where they did lineups like this? 🙋‍♀️

[@ss.92.]

Tam Chachua yes!!!

[@robertbrauer6718]

Corden did this bit a couple of years back with Kevin Bacon. A whole bunch of viewers pointed out at that time that this is basically just a rip-off of the ID parade from NMTB. But, since Buzzcocks isn't being made anymore, I guess it's cool.

[@tamchachua]

@@robertbrauer6718 I think Corden's safe because his audience is primarily Americans who don't realise it's a somewhat stolen act. I often rewatch the old Never Mind the Buzzcocks specifically ones with Simon Amstell, reminds me of my uni days in UK. It had just effortless humour and I used to love the 'guess the song bit'. Such shame it ended!

[@elsiemacdonald]

Yeah I was about to comment that

[@nadiahassan5307]

James Corden always rips off his bits anyway, he rips off Graham Norton, and so no surprise this is from Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Eddie knows what is up lol

This is probably embarrassing for everyone involved.. probably not a good skit.. kind of bashes each person, and left the actually guest uncomfortable.

[@meganfedds]

It's UK style. They're a bit tougher over there and not so worried about offending everyone. It was a regular segment of Nevermind the buzzcocks and the guests are completely in on it and are trying to look a certain way. It was always very very funny
