russell brand - C or D?

And Pam Grier.

Russell Brand's Ponderland on Channel 4 has been the funniest thing on TV for a long, long time.

In Bed With MeDinner for 15-year-old girls

In Bed With MeDinner for 15-year-old girls with jokes.

In Bed With MeDinner > all other comedy of the past 20 years.

Fuck me, I must've been watching something else then.

i have been enjoying it too (as i mentioned elsewhere, and to my surprise) and had spotted the similarity to medinner (the public information films, for instance).

i like that he is not afraid to mock himself - he showed footage of his arrest, his clip from the bill, and him singing along with hammers fans (whilst recounting the stories behind them all). he does strike me as a cross between ross noble and noel fielding.

RUSSELL BRAND has always hero-worshipped MORRISSEY - and now his dreams have come true with an invite to be in his idol’s next promo.

Russell told me: “I’m off to LA to be in Morrissey’s video for a couple of days - mad, isn’t it?”

Not at all, Russell. At least you won’t c*** it up like the numbskull from the NME.

Russell’s also making a documentary on the ex-SMITHS star - a nerve-wracking gig keeping the Manc misery-guts happy.

It’s a task that would definitely cause the dinkle to shrink in fear.

fyi i was smoking crack in 2006

Brand and Moz can talk about Celebrity Big Brother 2007 together.

i like the programme he does on more 4 at the moment. his anecdote about trying to ask out one of the williams sisters was really funny (and endearing, just cos hes so honest).

Charlie Brooker had a piece defending him in the last Guardian guide (which opened with Brooker admitting that all his friends were egging him on to tear into Brand when they heard he was writing a column on him).

I still haven't LOL'd at any Russell Brand, though. I can appreciate that he's clearly very clever (did Dennis Miller ever make it to the UK? Miller is a reference point for Brand, which is... not a good thing), and his redemption tale is impressive, but no laffs for me.

I can appreciate that he's clearly very clever

Not that clearly

No, I guess you're right, but I think even detractors can admit he's pretty quick.

WAU

Care to share some examples of Brand adlibs, SS?

Didn't seem too quick on "Have I Got News..."

Loathe as I am to cite the 'you wouldn't think it was funny if it was your family being attacked, Mr Brand' but...

I thought this thread was going to be about sports jerseys and shit

I hear there's an Northampton ILX poster who looks like an unsuccessful rapist. Maybe I should call the police.

OK, I'm in Northampton until further notice. What is good to do in Northampton?

Ek, he's fugly.

-> Clearly a sign I'm no longer "with it"

what, a right pointing arrow?

Best comedy in the world

Russell Brand has the demeanour of someone who is getting absolutely raped by his agent on royalties. Would any of ILX's namedrop kliq care to comment?

Crime expert and ex-Flying Squad chief John O’Connor yesterday said the “jokes” were “criminal”.

That's a bizarre sentence to just drop in the middle of the story, I don't know exactly why.

Georgina was said to be “mortified”.

I should think so too. They are horrible knickers.

arghh put the warning BEFORE the link. lol.

Wow @ that story, what a horrible, obnoxious asshole if it's true.

So the BBC has four choices about what to do next:

1) do nothing
2) punish Brand
3) punish Ross
4) punish Brand and Ross

Obviously they're not going to do anything to upset their £18M/yr star player Wossy, and they can't be seen to be taking no action at all, so it's out into the wilderness for Brand.

Or just apologise and see it if blows over.

I don't think Brand's apology is going to cut it though...

"I would like to take this opportunity to issue a personal Russell Brand apology to Andrew Sachs, the great comic actor who played Manuel, for a message Jonathan and I left on his answerphone, but it was quite funny,"

Somebody should punch him in the nuts.

Well yesterday the BBC were claiming that they hadn't even received a complaint from Sachs. Today they're all "sorry sorry sorry sorry". Brand's apology kind of misses the point - it's not the swearing, it's saying "lol I shagged your grand-daughter".

And as for saying the Daily Mail is a right wing reactionary load of tosh, well fair enough, it is - but Russ son they'll be gunning for you now.

Hard to decide who is the bigger cunt, normally Ross would win this contest hands down but Russ is coming up on the rails

Yeah, nobody slaps the wonderful Manuel about the head oh wait...

I would like it if Cleese were to weigh in on this now.

I don't think he even likes to be reminded of 'Manuel' does he? Or maybe that was a long time ago and now he looks back fondly on it?

Sachs that is, altho' probably Cleese as well.

Hmm, the Daily Mail are going after a different angle...

i.e. their usual one. Look at these shocking photos! And we've got more!
