+WAKE ME UP INSIDE I feel like Smithy sometimes: "Yes, we can!", "...Because we belive in you...", but, idk things have changed - its all about mony, ther is no more national pride =(

Sam Duncombe Indeed :) It's liberating almost, the world really is everyones and all these man made border restrictions are complete horseshit, made up by stupid religions and bullshit politics hundreds/thousands of years before I was born. You would have thought by now we were past all this "this is why I love being British" bullshit by sadly not. And on that note, this is why I love being a human :)
Jingoism is dead. We're all just children of the same sun. Just specs on a little orb. Family, health and happiness is what matters. Literally nothing else matters. Proud to be British, Spanish, American, whatever. Not important. Let the rich play with politics. Family and friends. That's it.
@@angelefarrugia9901 this is a very poor attempt at humour. Paula Radcliffe doesn’t deserve this type of treatment . One of Britain’s greatest female athletes
I love this bloke. I love the seriousness of the sporting legends he pays out. They know it's a joke. Everyone one of them know it's an honour to be sledged by Smithy. James this was a masterclass.
Since then we've had the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, when Britain came 3rd and 2nd respectively. We've had a British champion at Wimbledon twice. The England football team are even now getting ready for their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years. Whatever Smithy did, it was good work
To be fair, he didn’t specify what or which world cup. I’m sure we can invent some new sport and become reigning champions at it before the rest of the world catch up. Although, seriously, UK sport has got a bit better in recent years (England football the exception I’m led to believe)
I'd never heard of this guy until youtube runs of the late late show. Today I've watched the entire 3 series of Gavin and Stacey, then this. Brilliant.
I just wrote a comment I think you will.agree with he should have staid in smithy character in carpool karaoke and offer all the major stars advice and offer them free plumbing and not share his food with them.lol
I had no idea who this fellow was when I stumbled onto the video a year or two ago (I was born in Britain but have lived overseas most of my adult life). He's inspirational; I know about him now and watch the video regularly. Smithy (Corden) is brilliant.
so much sensational and inspirational. Smithy you are the great! Your speech is more than a motivational video. Love England but I am from Pakistan, my beloved country!
That when his talent started to decline because now he is slowly dumbed down over there.. this was more fun than a whole year of James Corden Late Night in the US
@@pretext107 no jealousy at all. Think he's an obnoxious prick, started out with nothing and appreciated everyone he met. Now thinks he's the biggest thing ever and everything he does has to be about him.
Yes, we forget, they (famous, celebrities) forget WHO they are owing to what people call "success", they're being blinded by materialism and therefore, 'lost their way' and muddled everything up in their lives.
Excellent! Even funnier was that I actually thought this was a segment from the *real* Sports Personality of the Year. Took me the whole clip to work out that it wasn't... :O
I remember watching this when I was 8 or 9 and I was watching the whole thing waiting for "you got a poorly knee" and then he said it and I died of laughter
If only we all had the balls too do that, stand up in front of a room full of achieviers, slag them off and end up with a standing ovation.....comedy at its best ☺ pointing out someone's flaws and have them react in such a way is mind-blowing and inspiring, you can see the bromancy between Freddy n James spark 😂 laughter is the best medicine, thank you James Corden
We are already great. Decency. Respect. I've not lived there for over 20 years but keep in regular with my parents. My dad died last November so it's only my mum.
@@god-fearingenglishman5254 Comment is from a year+ ago and before Bruno signed. Utd are doing well at this point but the teams' still nowhere close to the one in the vid
so funny, can't believe didn't see this all this 6years, lol when he said your knee hurts, or when he was like how Giggs wasn't called for England, lmao James is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
And if you were acting and did really well at your acting "job" I'd likely say excellent performance, about you!!! Look for the beauty in our Planet rather than the ugly, as you are doing here. Criticizing others that are only being positive is a waste of time that gets you nowhere really fast, and in this case, makes you look really cruel hearted with the whole cutting off his head thing. I wish you didn't have the "vegan" word in your name because you are giving vegans a bad name, the vegans I have ever known including myself, spread love and respect. And since you were once a "brilliant" actor, maybe instead of criticizing other actors, you might go and be brilliant again.... never too late to shine... and become a kind hearted person! CHEERS!
***** you are the biggest fucking idiot on the planet 'it's just acting everyone can do it' well actually its a profession that pays millions to its top acredited actors, no one gives a fuck if you did a tv advert because your mom needed the cash when you were a baby, this was an amazing performance one of which YOU nor many other actors could pull off.
He was meant to be joking, but he was absolutely right about them all.
So true :) exactly what I was thinking when watching.

Back when Cordon was funny and didn't piss off to the US .. Bring back Smithy !
Kieran Temple Gotta go where the money is, in my opinion I think he's lost his funny side

Well done Smithy to have pulled that off, my heart is still racing :)
I love this bloke. I love the seriousness of the sporting legends he pays out. They know it's a joke. Everyone one of them know it's an honour to be sledged by Smithy. James this was a masterclass.
right at the end.... Sue Barker mouthing "have a word" cos Lineker was crying.... quality humour
this is one of the greatest speeches ever
It really is!
Since then we've had the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, when Britain came 3rd and 2nd respectively. We've had a British champion at Wimbledon twice. The England football team are even now getting ready for their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years. Whatever Smithy did, it was good work
After saying all that, it must've felt awkward when he accepted an OBE for essentially being himself.
I gotta say that ..somewhat ...inspiring speech truly did leave me in tears...
OF LAUGHTER. Well done Smithy!
'Can we win the World Cup? Yes we can.' That went well...
Didn't even win the euros
We can... But we are not going too
see the bright side
you got a point at the group stage against the strongest team in group D
Louis Smith I
To be fair, he didn’t specify what or which world cup.
I’m sure we can invent some new sport and become reigning champions at it before the rest of the world catch up.
Although, seriously, UK sport has got a bit better in recent years (England football the exception I’m led to believe)
Smithy for Prime Minister! Bloody brilliant!
and this is why, at his prime in theatre, this man was incredible to watch! I loved watching him in the theatre
This actually makes me cry.. its such a good speech and soo true :)
I'd never heard of this guy until youtube runs of the late late show. Today I've watched the entire 3 series of Gavin and Stacey, then this. Brilliant.
If you take away the satire of smithy a lot of the things he said were very true issues in sport
you can see that the people who don’t watch gavin and stacey are just genuinely confused ahaha
the guts to do this though, just imagine yourself in that situation. very well done smithy
Still gives me goosebumps 8 years on.

Yep I am!

Can we Wimbledon? Yes we can, Smithy is psychic.
Can we win the World Cup? Oh wait
***** Scotland's part of Great Britain.
immybob09 I don't see me mentioning the World Cup in my original comment.
Shazia Dar you saying Smithy is psychic he said England can win the World Cup we didn't even make it past the group stages!!
Get goosebumps everytime I watch this video, truly insperational.
is that sarcasm?
The Paula Radcliffe part literally makes me want to pee myself with laughter... OH.
Why is this the most patriotic speech ever given in Britain?
2019, this still makes me smile, soo damm proud to British ❤️

the best 13 and a half minutes on youtube
The amount of people commenting on this who just can't take this as a bit of laugh and a joke is ridiculous! Lighten up!
Proud this got voted the best ever Sport Relief sketch ever last night. An iconic moment remember it so well.
This was inspirational, well done Smithy, your a legend

Never get tired of this corden was brilliant he right with what he says here even if its in jest
