I haven't seen Ocean's 8, but one of the most frequent comments I've heard or read on it is that it was decent, and that, "surprisingly, Corden wasn't able to ruin it".

Before appearing as himself in stuff an doing some of the worst sketch comedy on record, he was a perfectly fine actor.

James Corden is the worst. I think I hate him more than anyone who’s been on tv. A League of their Own seems to have a bunch of regular cunts who are annoying whenever I see an ad come on (which I mute). Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Rednapp, John Bishop, and Romesh bloody Ranganathan who seems to be on everything. They can all fuck off. 

Jason Byrne popped up a few months ago when I was watching something and was so annoying and unfunny and tryhard that I actually got annoyed about it. I hope he’s never let back on tv again.

He's a bit one note but I like him anyway. He's a good voice actor and I like the movie podcast he does. Also your opinion is completely invalidated by calling Good Place 'flawless brilliance'. A laughable assessment of a really patchy show.

A man after my own heart.

For me, Ryan Reynolds. The smarmy cunt soaks up any scene he is in and turns it into smug gash. One of those guys who is probably a good lad and a great laugh to have a beer with, but on-screen he's a total dick wipe.

I only barely scraped through Deadpool (mainly as he was under a mask the entire time) and his understated performance in the new Pokemon movie is not filling me with much hope.

I haven't seen Gavin & Stacey, so I can't attest to his earlier work. Thoroughly irritated by him in Dr. Who, though.

Pretty much what I said when I reviewed it but only because everyone else in it was so superb. He was also in The Lady in the Van but thankfully fucked off after a few seconds long cameo.

I can't believe I forgot the most obvious answer - Ricky Gervais. Ubiquitous enough to crop up in guest spots and cameos a lot and generally socialise and work with people much better than him. Consistently ruins things just by being part of them.

The correct answer. Astro asked for 'actors who ruin your telly' and this is absolutely Gervais in everything he has ever been in, or will ever be in. Never was the US Office worse than in the two minutes he cameo'd in it. He will sap my enjoyment from anything no matter how much I'm otherwise entertained by it.

I’m with you on Ryan Reynolds. I barely got through the first Deadpool either. It’s the smugness and irritating voice.

I wasn't even referring to Gavin and Stacy, he's in a load of average British films from the early 2000s. Starter For 10 is one. I remember noticing him and thinking "he's not bad that bloke" before it all went drastically wrong.

From what I've seen him in, he's been nothing but annoying, but I have heard from various people he's pretty good on stage - he got plaudits for his performances in The History Boys and One Man, Two Guvnors in the West End.
