@imlan123 No he isn't unless you're a 14 year olg girl who thinks intelligent and cultured is someone doing Captain Jack Sparrow impressions sprinkled with sentences that have zero meaning.
@Vennegoor10 Ah, I see what's happened. You've read an interview in which Stewart Lee says Russell has nothing meaningful to say and taken his word for it. You wouldn't have, for example, read his recent Guardian article on the London riots, or watched his speech at Oxford, or even read what he ACTUALLY said in response to the Big Brother racism scandal. No, you've just looked at him, thought "he's a bit odd" and thought he can't be of any merit. He dressed like that before Jack Sparrow, too.
@imlan123 I've been aware of Brand since he first presented BBLB, so good try. He's a faux intellectual who thinks uttering large words in sequence makes him sound clever. It does to eejits. I've seen several inteviews by him and even read some of his awful booky wooky. He's an intellectual for our age - i.e. not one.
@Vennegoor10 "good try"? I don't see any refuting of anything I've said, just you re-phrasing what you said. His Guardian articles? You're telling me he makes no good points or arguments in them? Bullshit. He's a comedian, meant to make people laugh, and you've only experienced him when he's doing that, not when he's actually being intellectual. Both you and Stewart Lee need to get off your high horses. Judging him for how he looks? Really? Are you a child?
@imlan123 How he looks is relevant to his general overall fakeness. Add how he speaks, his faux Hollywood marriage to a bimbette, his serial shagging which of course doens't happen now he's found lurve, and what you have is a pre-packaged dollop of fakeness.
@Vennegoor10 Oh fuck off. You don't know anything about his personal life, his relationships or whether or not he's fake. It's the worst form of narcissism to believe that because these people are, in your eyes, less intelligent than you that they can't have meaningful relationships. His girlfriend isn't a bimbette (an irrelevant title), she's a fairly competent musician, and there's no evidence for anything you've just said. Also, a "dollop" wouldn't come packaged. That's like saying a spoonful
@Vennegoor10 I am the biggest Stewart Lee fan around, but yeah - Russell Brand really is one of the most cultured and intelligent comedians around these days. You realise that in spewing that "BUT HE'S A DISGRACE WITH AN IMMORAL WIFE COS OF HER BOOBS" crap, you're acting in exactly the way your average inadvertently hilarious Daily Mail reader would? You should watch some of his speeches.
@yoshting Understood it, but don't agree with it. I don't think the Daily Mail is relevant, lots of people thought the Sachsgate thing showed him in a terrible light (although Ross was ten times worse, frankly). I think his persona is completely fake, and if there's any intelligence in there at all, it's buried under a character.
Relax children, you can like a comedian without liking everything they say.
It is allowed. There's no rules preventing you from only liking certain aspects of a routine. And if he makes a joke about something that you thought was good (such as a book or a fellow comedian) you can choose to laugh or not. It doesn't mean you then hate said book or comedian. It's just comedy, it's not a manifesto.
@fizzb100 Totally agree with you especially since there are people who dislike Stewart Lee because he's pedantic, meant for liberal hipsters, right/left wing shit, etc. They draw these so-called political and cultural reflexions and they forget that it's entertainement (at his best in my opinion). So who's pedantic now by having such a high esteem of comedy? For me it's all about providing a kind of "dead angle" to make laugh at everything with everyone...
@Harvesterofmetal And to conclude, of course cynism deals with exageration, especially when it's for comic effect. Every cynic stand up comedian will tell you so. In the US, Bill Hicks, D.Stanhope and G.Carlin, in France, Desproges... When I'm not ok with their sayings, I'm not getting mad like this shit was for real, I just don't laugh. No need to fill nearly 6 pages of comments in this video to do that. It's not about freedom of speech but it's about not being a douche.
I want to like Stewart Lee, he is really funny a lot of the time. Very intelligent and an expert performer. However, it is an uncomfortable experience watching him. For all his holier than thou approach, he resorts to the most basic form of bullying, name calling and mocking. His entire act is sneering. His satire is funny when he is does stuff like the carphone warehouse bit but when he starts to attack people personally it's uncomfortable. Genius or smug twat? It's a fine line.
Stewart Lee's capable of some truly fantastic and insightful material, but when he has to make stuff up to discredit other comedians I lose faith in him a bit. Russell Brand is a very intelligent and cultured comedian and I find him an odd choice for Lee's attack. It's the academic arrogance that annoys me (belittling adults who enjoy the Harry Potter book etc.). Shame.
Really don't like all the snobbery which seems to come out from the fans of Stewart Lee.....I like Russell Brand and Stewart Lee.......Where does that leave me?
It is like those who like Lee exclusively think they hold some high ground and are able to determine what is good comedy and what is bad, i.e. Anything other than Lee=not good.
I agree. Even some of Stewart's own material references the fact that he often "pretends" to be above and superior to anyone. I'm sure he has no malice toward Brand, Howard or McIntyre.
I'm not a fan of Russell Brand, i don't hate him either. If you see some of Stewart's other stuff some people would also think he's anti scottish, anti muslim, anti british and anti life. But it might just be that he's a comedian, often mentioning that he raises such issues for "comedic effect".
Hey thanks for uploading the entire show :) I've never watched any of his stuff before so this is my first taste - it's nice to have an entire show to watch. I love British humour and also dry humour, but I'm taking a bit to warm up to him. I'll keep watching though, maybe it'll grow on me. Afterall, a lot of you guys seem to really love his stuff :)
"russell brand was contractually obliged, to look meaningfully into the camera, making a serious face, and to condemn racism in the strongest terms possible....whilst dressed as a cartoon pirate" LMFAO
Brilliant, just brilliant particularly in the midst of all that laughter when after he read an extract from Martin Luther's I Have a Dream speech, you could hear a pin drop :)
Personally I enjoy Stewart Lee's stand up better than the sketches and t.v shows he gets involved in. I think there is too much 'avant garde' social critique that he tries to cram in when he has a chance to think about it. With stand up his natural dry wit and sarcastic delivery really come to fore and he is hilarious without over intellectualising, although there is intellectual content. Stewart Lee's reading of other peoples foolishness is class. I would hire him as a spokesmans anyday!
Brand on BBLB was very funny, Mtv's DFC he was good to....mad cunt. But he is quickly turning into a fucking joke. He tells bad jokes so much he is slowly turning into one himself.....ironic that.
i quite like russell brands standup ,stewart lee is seriously good and a master of his art ,but brand has his place and isnt as stupid as lee has made him seem
@whitebigpolarbear i liked Brand doing bb big mouth and other presenting and think he's on another plane with comedy acting (although he'll have to sell out with bad hollywood vehicles). his standup is really weak though and i am forced to buy his dvd for my mum every xmas and it's one of the things i dread about the impending festive periods. Stewart Lee is the best standup in all my 32 years that i've found. Can anyone suggest other good ones to me please???? 29 characters left...............
@moley8791 to be fair ,you wont find much better than lee,for me its quite simply as good as it gets .. paul kitson is great,but its dependent on styles ..i personally like jimmy carr,frankie boyle,rob newman even gervais.....also some u.s is very good with mitch hedburg,demitri martin....all are good
The quote he attributed to Russell Brand about Racism was actually entirely fabricated by Stewart Lee, hmself. This bothers me a bit, as he doesn't need to do that. He could have easily made a similar point without making something up to try and make Russell Brand appear stupid. I'm no fan but it's clear that Russell Brand is far from an idiot.
@Hogeyz That's a good point; Stew actually addresses it in the extras for the DVD (you can find it on youtube, he gets quizzed by Johnny Vegas) and in his book 'How I Escaped My Certain Fate', where he says that he probably wouldn't have done it now. However I am more bothered by the fact that Mr. Brand is smart but constantly dumbs himself and his act down to such an extent that people think that he is capable of the sort of dumb comment Stew puts in his mouth.
I agree completely. Ruseell is fast becoming everything Stewart hates in modern comedy and it's a shame as he the potential to offer a lot more, certainly more than Frankie Boyle or Russell Howard anyway That's what hollywood does I suppose. I just don't think Stewart needed to fabricate a quote, he could have easily found a stupid qute on racism from anther prominent TV figure than making one up.
So funny! definately higher than 41st greatest comedians. i was just looking at a list of the top 10 comedians and apparently chris rock and robin williams are in but bill hicks, richard pryor and stewart lee arent good enough, fuckin sacrilege!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What is all this buzz about this fat old man? I don't think I've ever found a comedian funny from south of Derby. This jerks frm the f-ing midlands so he shed have sum NORTHERN SOUL in his set. But its like a rant. Where are the jokes? Nothing he talking about happen to me. Ever. I want joks about mi life. Id love to ve on BB and I bet this guy wud 2. He looks like he needs the munny, lol.
@cardiffwilly I've read a few dumb posts before but that drivel you wrote is impressive.
"Nothing he talking about happen to me. Ever." - Which comedians make specific jokes about the life and times of Cardiffwilly? Why would anyone want to hear about that?
No doubt someone has made a joke about McDonalds workers, is that what you mean?
" Id love to ve on BB and I bet this guy wud 2. He looks like he needs the munny, lol." - You truely must be a laughable idiot.
@Robbingtonfish what hav u got agenst people who werk in macdonnalds? they welcomd me with open arms wen all the other restraunts turnd me down!!! i wanna comedian who talks bout things like gettin stuck on a busy train or family weddins looooool!
@cardiffwilly You are taking the piss out of my spelling?!?
hav, u, agenst, werk, welcomd, wen, restraunts, turnd, bout, gettin, weddins, spellt. Forgetting the pathetic grammar and punctuation, this is still a abhorrent level of illiteracy. If you are looking for fart jokes or knock knock jokes look elsewhere, there are plenty of comedians who cater for that particular brand of low brow, mindless rubbish.
@Robbingtonfish what hav u got agenst high order gimps? i hav made loads of frends since i became a gimp, an it helpt me throo loads of difficult isssues!
@cardiffwilly Well Cardiffwilly, you really got me there. I expect I wont be able to sleep tonight after you pointed out that fatal gramtical blunder.
I think you are only looking to get a rise out of me, and in truth are not as thick as you make out and are as bored as me,(hense why I bothered to reply) but I am wasting my hangover time away.. I wonder what your excuse is....
@owenhunt I'm not angry, never was. As I said, just hungover yesterday and was looking to waste some time, if anything it worked out perfectly... Watched some Stewart Lee and laughed at the childishness of cardiffwilly.
This has got to be one of the Funniest and original stand-up routines of modern times;and i say this purely because the Big Brother race scandal was something that got SO MUCH out of hand in Britain.
This routine is pure pathos and truth;and Stewart Lee is a truly orignal comedian.
In a sense it's true what the Carphone Warehouse says - as Stew points out, their only value is the profit motive.
But racism hurts profits - if a section of society is pissed off with you, then it won't buy your products. Or if you disregard that group you lose out on sales. So racism really is at odds with pure capitalism.
Yeah that pseudo-intellectual toss really grinds my gears, i also hate Russell Howard's "Tell a joke then do a juvenile impression of the subject of said joke for 3 minutes" bullshit!
Here's a Youtube video of a funny looking spider "Nurrr... look at me i'm a funny spider with a speech impediment... nurrrr!!!"
I believe the joke is that Carphone elected to sponsor BB despite the prior knowledge of all its other content that may or may not go against the "values of Carphone", and their sudden rediscovery of those values when it was most advantageous to improve their profile.
I worked for CPW at the time, and the email distributed around the entire company was yet another example of bollocks from Chucky Dunstone.
Russell Brand didn't actually say the stuff about racism that Lee attributes to him, it's hard to find it quite as funny. That said, it's really interesting watching him try, somewhat unconvincingly, to justify himself in the Johnny Vegas interview that's included as a special feature. Russell Brand didnt give the best speach about racism but it is not right to make something totally up and pretend that the quote is true.
Hang on, you're saying that Russell Brand didn't say that? Oh my god I've been deluding myself into thinking that a funny line in a stand-up comedy show was actually fact rather than being part of a routine. The world must be told.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not all comedy has to be based on truth but in this case, where he's making out he's quoting another person then it really should be. Besides that was the least funny part of the whole routine and could easily have been left out.
The way he explains himself is a joke. He obviously knew it wasn't what he said, he was exaggerating for comedic effect. That's what they do. Russell Brand fanboy much?
90s Comedien is even funnier... or maybe I just like vomit talk (involving Jesus) more than the precisly honed excellance that 41st is... I guess it's a matter of taste...

@cardiffwilly I've read a few dumb posts before but that drivel you wrote is impressive.
"Nothing he talking about happen to me. Ever." - Which comedians make specific jokes about the life and times of Cardiffwilly? Why would anyone want to hear about that?
No doubt someone has made a joke about McDonalds workers, is that what you mean?
" Id love to ve on BB and I bet this guy wud 2. He looks like he needs the munny, lol." - You truely must be a laughable idiot.

@cardiffwilly You are taking the piss out of my spelling?!?
hav, u, agenst, werk, welcomd, wen, restraunts, turnd, bout, gettin, weddins, spellt. Forgetting the pathetic grammar and punctuation, this is still a abhorrent level of illiteracy. If you are looking for fart jokes or knock knock jokes look elsewhere, there are plenty of comedians who cater for that particular brand of low brow, mindless rubbish.
You 'truly' are a gimp of the highest order.

@cardiffwilly Well Cardiffwilly, you really got me there. I expect I wont be able to sleep tonight after you pointed out that fatal gramtical blunder.
I think you are only looking to get a rise out of me, and in truth are not as thick as you make out and are as bored as me,(hense why I bothered to reply) but I am wasting my hangover time away.. I wonder what your excuse is....

This has got to be one of the Funniest and original stand-up routines of modern times;and i say this purely because the Big Brother race scandal was something that got SO MUCH out of hand in Britain.
This routine is pure pathos and truth;and Stewart Lee is a truly orignal comedian.

In a sense it's true what the Carphone Warehouse says - as Stew points out, their only value is the profit motive.
But racism hurts profits - if a section of society is pissed off with you, then it won't buy your products. Or if you disregard that group you lose out on sales. So racism really is at odds with pure capitalism.

I believe the joke is that Carphone elected to sponsor BB despite the prior knowledge of all its other content that may or may not go against the "values of Carphone", and their sudden rediscovery of those values when it was most advantageous to improve their profile.
I worked for CPW at the time, and the email distributed around the entire company was yet another example of bollocks from Chucky Dunstone.

Russell Brand didn't actually say the stuff about racism that Lee attributes to him, it's hard to find it quite as funny. That said, it's really interesting watching him try, somewhat unconvincingly, to justify himself in the Johnny Vegas interview that's included as a special feature. Russell Brand didnt give the best speach about racism but it is not right to make something totally up and pretend that the quote is true.
DnKprincess 2 years ago
Hang on, you're saying that Russell Brand didn't say that? Oh my god I've been deluding myself into thinking that a funny line in a stand-up comedy show was actually fact rather than being part of a routine. The world must be told.

Not all comedy has to be based on truth but in this case, where he's making out he's quoting another person then it really should be. Besides that was the least funny part of the whole routine and could easily have been left out.
