russell brand - C or D?

I love the way he drops arcane words into his speech and he's the only person I've heard who's used the crack is moreish gag and made it work.

unfortunately saying '...the SWINE' has crept into my stock of lame tv-derived catchphrases.

example of brilliance: on the caption competition, the screen came up and instead of a caption it just said "winning caption". brand said it was a conceptual ploy a la derrida (or words to funnier effect). that's quick thinking, for a crackhead.

he's on bbbm and...?

side-point: dermot and bblb have really gone off the boil.

I echo this post entirely: "I am torn between thinking he's very funny and thinking he's an irritating nob end. He's probably both. "

I basically don't like him, yet find myself laughing at him.

He needs to become the new presenter of a revived Blankety Blank on BBC prime time.

he should be ok then?

ailsa OTM.

DANDIES HAVWE TO BE WELL-DRESSED

BRAND LOOKS LIKE A TRAMP WITH A SCARF

oh me neither in all seriousness, i just thought it was a nice comical image.

IMPORTANT RIDER: LEGS NEED TO BE GOOD IN FIRST PLACE

Note to self: Search for the stem word 'dand' in future.

However he is very, very good at hosting BB'sBM. Given how many times it's on a week I am impressed that he can keep coming up with new iterations of not just the ballbags/SWINE link, but also "So-and-so is perfectly happy to do such-and-such, but when I suggested it would be quite good to see Aisleyne and Grace wrestling in crude oil in the middle of a desert, they looked at me like I was no better than Gary Glitter...", and the one that goes "Get in touch with us the way the Daily Mail gets in touch with asylum seekers, except use a phone instead of creating a hysterical climate of fear and distrust"...

'... in the way the sun gets in touch with world cup supporters, only with a phone instead of advocating a fifa-inpired kristallnacht on all those who don't have a flag coming out of every orifice' (or something).

I think the basic contention she is making is that she and everyone associated with her are garbage

Yeah, I know she is part of the post-left / anti-anti-anti-feminist whatever, I'm just trying to figure out the logic.

There is no logic beyond "fuck you! ha ha, made you look".

Anna Khachiyan is from the anti-everything Red Square podcast

Brand was defended by various conservative public figures, including Anna Khachiyan of Red Scare, the Tate brothers, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and Ian Miles Cheong

She definitely has found her people

She also hangs with Greg from Succession, who has allegations similar to Brand's against him

I have yet to understand why anyone thinks Red Scare is something worth paying attention to.

It’s the pull of anti-establishment being a good view in and of itself. Same reason 4chan is popular

I’ve no idea why my links to tweets aren’t showing up properly anymore.

You have to replace x with twitter

twitter dotcom embeds work but not x dotcom embeds, aiui

xp

I can't hear anything at that link (probably because I nuked my account), is she talking a bunch of nonsense? because she seems like someone who could go that way.

Talking a bunch of nonsense. People shouldn't be able to accuse abusers anonymously. "Those are the rules, I didn't make them."

lol

Are you sure? He’s a rapist not a racist

Russell Brand's dad in 1970?

The voice is spookily similar. Great video!

I just don't think anybody could be afraid of someone talking with a megaphone through the sunroof of a brown Mini.

russell re-branding himself as a philosopher guru reminds me a bit of neil strauss trying to make the pivot into positive lifestyle influencer after years of being a rancid detriment to society. it's all just a grift, and they still try to trade in on their bad-boy image as giving them bonafides of a different sort, it makes them a veteran of certain wars, allows them to reflect upon their behaviors as if they're at a complete remove while enjoying still having the image of people who have had those experiences.

There’s an explicit connection too, I remember being 🤨 at seeing brand’s blurb on one of Strauss’s sex pest manuals (this being post rb’s supposed reformed character)

see also Bill Cosby

Born again

LOLOLOL it’s like a bad version of The Ruling Class.

Standard trajectory for cunts. Andrew Tate becomes a Muslim, Russell Brand becomes a Christian.

Don't forget Shaun King

quite appropriate that he was baptised in a river of sewage

The 48-year-old comedian had previously called baptism an “opportunity to leave the past behind”

So just let it go ladies, let's move on shall we

Just had a look at his comments section. Most of them seem to be from people who are also born again

They're burying the lede that Russell Brand has finally bathed.

my bibley wibley

Well now he's probably fit to marry Katy Perry

Irl lol @ bizarro
