The laugh he does at 4:59 is brilliant. This is a great clip, everyone should stop giving Russell grief, he's a great guy who's been through a lot and come out the other side on top.
the self harm apologetic thing's completely true, haha i was about 15 sitting in the emergency waiting room with all the drugged up people like 'i'm very sorry, i'll just leave i'm sure it'll be fine without stiches'
I just realized, it is much easier for me to understand him when I am watching him on video. I have to listen very closely to understand his accent here. I think it's because I read lips when listening to people, I never noticed that before.
Just goes to show you what complete and utter bullshit the American medical system is. If they feared so much that Russell was a threat to himself or the public, why should money be an issue! They saw a rich celebrity and they wanted to milk it for all it was worth. Just sickening.
holy shit he's right especially the whole "adjudication process". I went through the exact same experience. they have no idea what to do to you when you "wake up" because most mental health professionals suffer from groupthink. holy shit he's right. thank god for the whole capitalist bit though
was tom and jerry there as well having a laugh? i am pleased they found it funny..... bullying you say? yeah for 6 and a half years, and we are still on the suicide and overdose talk 6 years later!!!! LIttle things like milk worry them...you would think they are the ones who took the overdose and i get i every single day at work..YAWN...axelle_rose
this man is a machine, a digital dictionary wen it comes to talking and getting caught by a mix of fantasy and hilarious experience. I can imagine teachers going nots having this dude in the classroom. its like a shower of grammar and as a dutchy i quite often lose him wile i try not to lough my lungs out. Brilliant.
Does anybody else find this story both perversely amusing and harrowing at the same time? The part where he said about falling through the cracks in the American society made me cringe
I love his story!! It says so much about the psychiatric system, which is so sad really, and he tells it all in such a funny way. I love Russell Brand's talent!!!
this is russell brands radio 2 show whuch sadly because of the whole andrew sachs affair but you were right it is matt morgan but this is nothining more than a mere discussion not an interview
english smackrat..goes to work dressed as ozama binladen the day after 9/11..then has the audacity to go to america and expect to be embrassed by americans...has any one told this smackrat how many americans died on 9/11...
smackrat is a word, he's not literally a rat is he? how many Americans need to die before an incident becomes socially unacceptable to joke about? How about if only 4 Americans die is that okay?
Only in Britain can a man refer to something as 'lovely' and not have a dozen Hemi-lusting, WWE-addicted, NASCAR-tattooed dildo-assclown-dicksmacks point and call him 'fag.' My fellow Americans, our country is indeed slathered in ignorant trash that needs to be flushed.
Unfortunately we have a similar breed of hyper-masculine, elitist wankshafts here in the UK.
Comedy, afterall, has been described as the outcast's revenge and it's only through comedy, intelligence and a tremendous sense of self that Russell has been able to say these things without much regard for what the aformentioned wankshafts think of him.
Thanks for replying! This is cheesy, but can you clear something up for me? In Russell's airport bit about picking up a female friend's bag, he refers to uber-macho guys like that as 'geezers'. I always heard geezers meant cranky old men. Once we understand each other's hearts, we can indeed hold hands across the world one and all and get a day off work.
PS: I'm co-opting 'wankshafts' for my new put-down and running with it. On with the trolling. Excelsior!
Yeah you're right, "geezers" can mean that. But it's sort of become slang for the typical British "Man". Yunno....football (soccer?), beer, buzzcut, loud, crude etc etc.
Butch, macho, jarhead (slang for Marine)... Toward the country (i.e. small towns, cowboy hats, country music) side, there's good ol' boy. That stereotype isn't really seen as negative by the majority of people here, sadly, so I can't pinpoint a mean term for it. Probably something I'm not thinking of, right now. I call them butchboys, but that's just my word.
Thank you. That's so kind. *blushes, but I'm too much man to admit it* How's your world in Jordan? I wanna travel, but I'm poor. Do you have Good Ol' Boy Geezers there? What do you call them? We need to find a universal term for their kind, so when they write back confused after we call them whatever it is, we can let them know how un-hip they are. That'll git 'em. They never check out urbandictionary. I'm from Kansas, Good Ol' Boy Central, so I know.
@SparkyMcBalls Same state here. I am retiring to either Europe or Costa Rica. With or without my wife, so maybe Im a rat, cuz I know a sinking ship when I see one, she on the other hand still buys the TV/Media bullshit beautifully packaged to take advantage of your brain's basest areas that you dont normally access, but drive much of your behaviour. Essentially, they know how to tap your animal brain's desires. Watch The Century of the Self on youtube. I gave up TV, save for like 3 info shows.
thanks for posing, gave me a good chuckle..dont get bored with Russells pace...n also Alan Benetts simple observations, Britishness and witt has me laughing out loud. Loved his book The Van, hysterical. If ever you face being locked up for being insane,saying that you are mad, is the way to get out.
I think he is mad, but in a good way! lol if you get me!
Because if he weren't mad, then he would be like any other guy from Essex, dressing boringly, with a boring job, and we wouldn't know who he was. But if you stare into his eyes for long enough, they do seem to look angrier and angrier! lol just watch them!
hahaha at alan bennet thing, i have some of his audiobooks and although he doesn't actually say that its so like him i was convinced i'd heard it before.
i loved that customs anecdote too, the guy with the dollar note trainers and american flag tie!
this is the show at its best, not the celebrity chat show its turned into, with no trev lock :(
Well, I hate to say this but none of us do...unless of course you know him personally. I don't, nor do I always beleive what's written, especially by self marketers ;).
The only thing I know for sure is this is f**king hilarious!
capitalist hell hole of a nation!! hahahahaha
