Disappointed by this. Tom Hanks was chastised for sitting comfortably when it did no harm, yet he didn't call out the ridiculousness of the whole _manspreading_ bs and even agreed with it. Pretty annoying that even a big Hollywood star couldn't call out how dumb it is.
Briansimon2 Well he said "sleazy type of guy" do it and apparently "you're a really creepy guy or hogging up space". Which is what manspreading is. The truth is though, it doesn't exist.
sisbrawny to be honest... if youre sitting on the train with your legs a metre apart, thats creepy/sleazy af. its only ridiculous if, for example, Tommy boy here, was sitting comfortably on the train.
sisbrawny What he's talking about is what Potato Raptor is saying, people who are spreading their legs way too far where it actually looks stupid. I agree that the whole "manspreading" thing is dumb, but there's still a difference between guy simply having their legs open and guys looking like complete idiots by having their legs like one meter apart from each other, and it's the latter that Tom Hanks is talking about.
Maybe he's just channeling his British predecessors -- after all, Alan Carr does the same thing on Chatty Man. Believe me, it's not just a Graham Norton thing.
liina000 Old Johnny Carson was like that, would be an hour and a half. Would bring the first guest for his/hers 5 minutes and they would have to sit on the couch as the next two or three guests would come out and the lest 15 minutes of the show would be all of the guests shooting the shit about topics or anything. All were required to stay, but someone along the way said they had to go and it ended.
sisbrawny because it's mostly just internet drama that doesn't affect most people, so they just ignore it like all of the other great internet debates of "Which starter pokemon is the best" "Xbox v Playstation" and "Console Plebs v PC Master Race"
Except it has a definition. So it has a meaning. How do you think these things start? 'Selfie' wasn't a thing until people gave a name to it last year. Words get invented and attributed to stuff. That's life.
"Word" A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes. As much as I hate the word "manspreading," the sentiment attached to it, and the type of people who came up with it (if it wasn't invented by sexist cunts with an agenda it would be called "legspreading"), it is in fact a word.
99% of the time a guy does that it's because the seat next to them is empity, woman just can't get through the day without finding something to complain about.
Yeeeah... Manspreading is a serious problem. Nothing like world hunger or even cyber bullying right? Riiiight... God... Seriously though? Is this really something to make such a big deal about? XD
@@andrewsindler1436 wait how is that implying? She is just saying there are bigger issues out there than "manspreading", this has nothing to do with comparing the two examples of something larger.
I don't know, not quite convinced. Maybe I'm just too used to Ferguson but he had a way of making the show funny/engaging no matter who he was talking to. We'll see
Craig was Craig, and brilliant at it! Cordon's changed it up and fair enough, has his own style, so it isn't fair to compare. He's doing some interesting things - let's see how it evens out after a few weeks :)
Cordon needs to up his "improv" game so he can have a normal conversation with the guests. Having him look down at the note cards to have a conversation with guests comes off as a bit cold. Cordon comes from a more scripted side of comedy so that's something he needs to work on.
Actually it has more to do with how our pelvis, femur and muscles are arranged. Sitting with legs together is uncomfortable mainly because you have to keep muscles tense in order to keep that position. Altho it probably is nature/evolution's fault and the reason is not crushing our genitals, as you stated correctly.
He only appears to be imitating Graham Norton to you because you aren't old enough to remember all the other talk show hosts who have used the same formats for decades
chumleyuk Not at all. I probably remember a number of American and British talk show hosts for the last 40 years. It's not the format I am speaking of. It's the personality and how he interacts with people.
So nice to hear three women discussing man spreading. What happened to “real” men in this country? You remember... guys that act like men and don’t apologize over every little thing that offends SJWs.
I don't get this "manspreading" bullshit. Sure, if it's a crowded bus or a train you should keep to your own seat, but sitting with your legs apart is just way more comfortable. It feels better, and if you want to get technical it's better for your sperm count (there's a reason the balls are on the outside of your body) and it minimizes sweat and risk of fungal infection. I don't get why someone would be offended by a guy sitting with his legs apart, unless it's taking up space that others could use.
Tom says he was on the #2 train in NYC, but it looks like he was on the #1 or #3 train. The #2 train has a different interior (white walls and ceiling, light blue seats). I take the #2 train a lot and I've never seen it with those red/yellow/orange seats. Just some NYC subway minutiae :)
Yes, Males pelvis's are narrower than a females, as well as having narrower Ischium bones, the pelvis is naturally directed outwards, as an individuals Femur is positioned horizontally, hence why when at rest legs naturally fall outwards in line with it's own anatomy. Greater strength is required in order to sustain their stability. And also due to the Hip Flexors and aductors becoming tight when seated.
So someone takes a photo of him probably without asking, saying hello or ANYthing with curtesy and sells it to a paper and then he has to justify himself for the way he sits? USA is just too weird for me sometimes…
Kunis loved Ferguson as she did his show first after she had her child. You should just watch the interviews he had with Craig compared to others and it shows.
I think people (particularly women) don't understand that the reason that any man does it is because you don't even realize you're doing it in the first place. Happens to me all the time. It isn't because we're trying to be douche to anyone nearby, it's just sort of natural thing to do since we have a 'eggplant' sitting in between our legs. It's also kind of embarrassing to do in public so don't think that we don't take any shame. It's always exaggerated of what it looks like and women make it look a lot more douchier when they try to immitate a guy doing so, it's an ongoing cringe. It's not easy to sit down and have your balls squeezed because you don't want to have a lady throw chemicals at you.
hey James Corden, i love your show, I watch almost every video in this channel. in lieu of manspreading, have you seen BuzzFeed's video on women trying manspreading? it's so stupid that I wanna hear you make a monologue about it. keep up the good work.
Did he just say he was enjoying a ride on the number 2 train? Was he implying he was taking a shit on the subway?! I think that's the real concern here. Headline news: Tom Hanks poops in public transportation.
"You're either a sleazy guy or taking up two seats". How about the 3rd option: You have thigh muscles and big balls. Take a look at how Dwayne is sitting in this interview: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3cljaQ_RoAg.html It's a normal way for a guy to sit.
