James Corden, Camila Cabello, Billy Porter and Idina Menzel stopped traffic in LA for a flash mob to promote a dumb movie

Isnt this the entire outrage over this non story? The fact that he was supposedly blocking traffic? One poster here joked about a woman not being able to get to the hospital in time to deliver her baby because Corden blocked the street. If Twitter knew what exactly went down this would've gone undetected, just like all the previous times Corden has done this.

The issue is that the driver is a captive audience and is being subjected to something fucking obnoxious against their will. Not where and how it occurred. How is this a mystery? Is the driver supposed to be grateful??

It seems the driver in the video was having fun, this seems like a bad take from OP, first they didn't stop traffic because it was at a red light and two the driver was having a good time watching celebrities do stuff, nobody was harmed just had fun

This is such a first world problem if I ever saw one. Maybe it's because I live in Mexico and street clowns juggling during stoplights for some tips is not uncommon to see. So what if a tv show presenter and some famous singer did a minute long musical in front of your car? It's not like they offended you, or scratched your car. It's over in a blink and you get to move on. But no, we got to make an outrage over anything dont we.

The driver runs a PR Twitter account called @filmupdates and was probably paid to be there and post the video.

James Cordan is that one guy who cannot read the room. No one wants him around, hear him talk, or have anything to do with him. The room is the world btw.

This looks a little light hearted doesn't it? Doesn't seem like the people in the car were bothered by it. No way in hell is it as bad as the imagination song they did at beginning of the Pandemic. 😭

Not a fan of this guy myself but I've seen him do this before. They are not blocking traffic, they just run out and sing/dance when the light is red. The whole article just screams bitch-eating-crackers.

Why would you do a remake of Cinderella? Have any of the not-Disney remakes of fairytales done well outside of Snow White and the Huntsman? I'm more annoyed at the laziness of the adaptation choice than the rest of this.

It eternally bums me out that Guillermo deal Toro and the guy who made Over The Garden Wall are wasting their talents on a Pinocchio remake.

Like, I'm sure it's good, but really?

Pandemic Flash Mob is a good name for a band, well used to be I suppose. Given the plague we're living through.

The top comment is one of my all tome favorite reddit posts.

Hey James. You won't remember me but me and my friends sat at a table next to you and Harry Styles + some others in Manchurian Legends in London's Chinatown about 6 years ago. We didn't bother you but you were a massively entitled cunt who yelled and treated the waitstaff like shit and when one of my party politely suggested you calm down, you got really aggressive and threatening (in a chubby way. Like a boozy panda.) So my question is this; why did Harry seem so cool, while you were such a massive throbbing bellend?

The whole thing is part of reddit legend.

Yeah Corden is just so obnoxious and this video didn't help matters. I'll give it that it did originate the "idiot sandwich" meme from his late night show. And only time I've watched his late night show was for then-representative Katie Hill showing up as a special guest.

Plus (granted it was only a sketch) seeing Gordan Ramsey throwing salad at Corden felt cathartic.

I highly doubt they "stopped traffic". If past flash mobs done by Corden on his show tell me anything they do these seconds long mobs only during stoplights and the second they turn green they run to the sidewalks. I'm sure we'll see the finished version in his show in a few days. You can all relax a little.

This. It's as if people don't know this happens on his shows regularly and want to get outraged instead.
