Funniest Friends reunion reaction memes as James Corden steps in as host

Could this be any funnier? Most people were happy to finally see the much-anticipated trailer for the Friends reunion, due to be shown in the US on May 27.

The HBO Max show, honouring the iconic series' 25th anniversary, will be the first time that David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt Le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston have been filmed back together.

It's been 17 years since the sitcom six returned their keys to Monica's purple apartment and left their coffee shop Central Perk for the last time.

But some fans were outraged when they discovered that James Corden, now a successful US late-night TV host, will be chairing the interview.

Others went straight onto social media to show off their meme and gif skills, and the results are hilarious.

Some don't like the idea that our British export is in charge. Others reference James’ career moves - should we call them his pivot? - from the co-writer and star of Gavin & Stacey to his appearances in musicals.

And oh. My. God, some of memes are pretty mean. So James, if you’re reading this, don’t get too upset.

The reunion is sure to be one of the most successful shows of this or any year, so ignore what these haters say. In Joey’s words: “It’s a moo point. It’s like a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t matter. It’s moo.”

Relax, James. We’ll be there for you.
