On Monday, New York restauranteur Keith McNally took to Instagram to ban James Corden from Balthazar after he was reportedly rude to his staff:
In the post, McNally called Corden the "most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago." He also said he demanded free drinks after there was an error with his order.
This whole fiasco inspired a meme moment online. Here are some of the best:

I’m sorry, but when you’re as talented as James Corden you get to treat people however the fuck you want. That’s the price we pay for the undeniable magic he brings to the table. And I’d gladly pay it, and so would all of you. He’s THAT good.
