russell brand - C or D?

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.

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!

the daily mail REEEEEEEALLY hates women, doesn't it?

how in the world does someone like jonathan ross become anyone's "£18m star player"? i seriously can't discern anything about him which could make him that popular?

I think it's more that middle class women hate women and the Daily Mail is more than happy to play to their needs.

lexotm

I just cottoned on to this whole thread. Dud. Definitely dud.

In the same bag as Simon Amstell and Fearne thingy off GMTV.

"£18m star player"

Lex, I was being sarcastic - £18M over three years, £6M a year? Did you see him taking the piss out of Daniel Craig on Friday? "If you give me your watch, I'll give you this drinks coaster with a picture of Ricky Gervais on it"

no i know you were being sarcastic but presumably the bbc thinks he's worth that, and he has the ratings to back it up...which is what i'm wtf about.

"If you give me your watch, I'll give you this drinks coaster with a picture of Ricky Gervais on it"

i mean eg i don't even know what's supposed to be funny about this?

he is suggesting that the coaster is as valuable as the watch!!!!!!!!!

No you don't understand, Ricky Gervais coaster is the name of my dog!

That's worth 18 million quid of anyone's money(xp)

how much did they used to pay Wogan? and he didn't even need a desk
