Here’s Everything James Corden Wants Kicked Out, And Brought Back

Pop culture is cyclical. Things are popular for a while, then people get tired of them. Some time later, people remember those same things and make them popular again. 

James Corden does a regular segment on The Late Late Show called Kick It Out, Bring It Back in which he highlights popular things that have grown stale, and other things that need to become popular again. This gallery collects all of the items James has declared passé and previously-passé things that feel fresh again. 

"Saying 'totes' saves time, but then you have to use that time to wonder how you became a full grown adult who says 'totes.'"

"There are a lot better things to bring back than 'not'… not!"

"When in your day-to-day lives do you need that much access to your toes? You look like a low-level X-Man."

"Not only are we bringing back Reebok Pumps, but we’re bringing back hope for a nation of chubby kids who would be lucky, let’s be honest, to just touch the net."

"I love my smartphone but it is without a doubt making me dumber. I’m never paying attention to anything people are saying because I’m too busy playing with my smartphone."

"I don’t want predictive text. I obviously didn’t mean, 'I hate this ducking phone.' Do you know how talented your butt needs to be to butt-dial a flip-phone?'

"I’m sorry, amigo. I have no real problems with you. There’s just no room for you with what we’re bringing back."

"It used to be, people would let their bushes be bushes. Now they’re pruning bushes in different shapes. Some people are choosing to have their lawns with no bushes at all. Maybe it’s the drought?"

"I can’t pronounce it and neither can you. We’re all just pretending."

"Any condiment that can go in my Bloody Mary and on my steak is okay in my book."

“Just shut up. I don’t care. Gluten must have made you more interesting, because without it, you’re boring.”

“When you’re done, you get the pleasure of drinking the sugary milk. They should just bottle that and call it unicorn milk.”

“You didn’t just come from a show. You just came from your mother’s basement.”

“Here are all of my feeling for you as expressed by Terence Trent D'Arby and Sheryl Crow.”

"Here’s a question, 'hot nerds.' Would you rather have sex with a model or build a model of the U.S.S. Enterprise? I bet you answered 'sex with a model.' I know this because you’re a model."

"Actual nerds are responsible for scientific breakthroughs, cures for horrible diseases, and some of the funniest YouTube videos of all time."

“There’s just too many! We’ve had more Batmans in the last 25 years than Presidents, and that’s not a joke.”

"I don’t want to be saved by Superman, I want to be saved by Meg Ryan. I want Tom Hanks to send me an email. I’m just a man, standing in front of a camera, asking Hollywood to make more romantic comedies."

“No one’s going to bring it up at your funeral. ‘You know, the best thing about Jared is he watched all of House of Cards in three days.”

"You’ve only got one life and it’s going to be as big as you make it. If you do it right, we won’t need to bring back rom-coms because you’ll be out making your own."

“I can’t tell if you’re listening to Drake or about to start a snowball fight with the other kids in the neighborhood.”

“You know what headphones are? They’re selfish. You want to walk around letting the world know that you love Run DMC. Plus, you get the work-out of carrying a giant boombox on your shoulder.”

"Just ask a stranger to take your picture. Maybe you’ll make a friend? Then, you won’t have to be taking so many photos of just yourself."

"Sure, sometimes the photos didn’t come out great. But on those days that you nailed it, you never felt more GQ in your entire dame life."

"House Hunters has more spin-offs than CSI. I don’t want to see you ‘flip it.’ I don’t want to know about your 'curb appeal.' The only thing I want to hear is my wife say, 'James, should we watch House Hunters?… not!' Because it was canceled."

"I want to see a Backstreet Boy, pre-bankruptcy, showing me how he has nine televisions in his bedroom and three in his shower."

"Just go outside and ride a bike. If you want to listen to terrible club music, bring an iPod. It’s as easy as riding a bike.”

"It was the great equalizer. You never knew what you were going to get. One day the bottle would land on the girl who looked like Cindy Crawford, the next it’d land on the girl who only talked about dragons."

“If they were really that special, you’d put them on the menu. I don’t want to taste the chef’s experiments.”

“If you have children, this hasn’t gone away. But if you’re an adult in public, it’s definitely frowned upon. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.”

"Sure, people dance to you at festivals, but those people are on Molly. And everything sounds good on Molly."

“Sexy talk downs, baby. You’ve been gone far too long. You were popular in the ‘90s and then you just went away and it makes no damn sense to me, baby!”

"We live in a time where there’s bacon chocolate, bacon liquor, pizza with a bacon crust. Here’s a portrait of Kevin Bacon made out of bacon."

"I'm sorry, bacon. That was the longest six seconds of my life."

"Harry Styles and Leonardo DiCaprio can get away with it, but the guy at the GameStop around the corner… dude, you can’t look like you’re in a TV show called Game of Scones."

"I don’t want to have to go to the airport every time I want a cinnamon roll. There should be a Cinnabon in every Starbucks on every corner."

"I barely want to drink regular water. Let alone water that tastes like what you taste like, coconut water. It looks like the stuff I produce when my willy sneezes. I guess that’s why there’s 'nut' in the name."

"Again, I'm sorry bacon. Never leave me again."
