It's almost irrelevant that he isn't funny, that's not the purpose he serves anymore. He's just trashy magazine fodder.

File alongside Jade and whoever wins Celebrity Big Brother.


Too right about the lack of substance pookie but don't you think that he is the last person concerned about it?As i said before,he wont last for long because ultimately his palette isn't varied or that sophisticated enough to endure a long career or one that will be remembered in the future but for the little he does,he still remains quite funny.Wanker or not,i couldn't care any less.

he has got the shelf life of an over ripe banana.

i fuckin love Russell Brand, i find him so funny. the shit he comes out with is off the wall humour which i suppose you either love or hate.

he's class.

sonicl 01.15.2007 07:14 AM

Russell Brand is an eminently slappable man. And punchable. And kickable.

His "humour" doesn't do much for me. But I am an old fart.

Russell Brand, Lee Evans, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, The Mighty Boosh- all shite. It's people like them who steal the focus from the real original comedy such as Dean Learner and Vic Reeves.


Couldn't agree more. It's like Britain has a crisis at the moment where we have really bad comedy as well as really bad 'indie' bands just coming out all over the fucking place.

Russell Brand can go fuck his dead dog.

At the risk of invoking the ire of Brenda, I did have the misapprehension that Brand was a sack of arse until I actually was forced to watch one of his shows (other than that Big Brother nonsense) and I was entirely disappointed to find myself laughing at him. He's clearly a cunt, but he's quite an amusing one.

I have a friend who, like many of you lot with music, contends that you won't see the best comedians anywhere other than at small stand-up shows (although she has a soft spot for Stewart Lee). If I could be arsed to go to more shows I'd agree with her. And I wish I could remember the name of the chap who, in front of an audience of 12 (including the evening's other acts) caused me to physically piss myself with a joke about beating his wife because she expressed a liking for rabbits.

sonicl 01.15.2007 03:10 PM

No ire here, Brenda doesn't go in for ire. Your friend is dead right about the best place for comedy being at a small stand-up gig where audience and performer can see the whites of each other's eyes. I used to go to one in the upstairs room of my local pub, saw loads of great acts, quite a few of which have gone on to Radio 4 fame. Sadly the promoter gave up doing them because of lack of audience, but that was his own fault for putting on a three-month run of unfunny acts. I miss those evenings though.

Well after a couple of pints im quite funny, but i dont deserve my own show and a 20 minute interview on Jonathan Ross. And if he's entirely style over substance, then i dont like the style, quite apart from not liking the substance.

sonicl 01.16.2007 04:10 AM

I think you'll find that Russell Brand's entire appeal is based on substance(s). He certainly has fuck all style.

After a couple of pints?What has this got to do with anything?Most people are ridiculously funny when they're off their faces(well,a lot of them anyway) but i'm not sure what it is that you're trying to say.

sonicl 01.16.2007 05:49 AM

No, Porky, you've got it wrong. Most people are ridiculously funny when their audience are off their faces.
