James Corden's bake-off contest with his staff gets very brutal, very fast

This one's not quite at the Jason-Momoa-judging-pumpkins level, but it's not far off.

In the video above, James Corden and his assistant Sarah assess the baking skills of various Late Late Show staff members — and Corden really doesn't hold back. There are a few handshakes and congratulations, but mostly it's cold stares and confidence-shredding criticisms.

His response to one contestant's banana pudding, which is based on a recipe from his grandma? "I think you've sullied your grandmother's name there." His feedback on a writer's assistant's holiday-themed cinnamon buns? "This looks like a crime scene."

Oof.
