Sheesh, Russell is extremely overbearing and Rachel is rigid and seems too sensitive. I can tolerate Rachel, looks fine. I can't tolerate Russell Brand, he's like the annoying kid who's eaten too many sweets.
I'm sorry but I love Russell Brand. He's like... he's loud, hyperactive, camp and very bizarre. I do find it annoying how he looks at the audience every time he makes a joke but I still like him as a comedian despite that.
@emerodriscollpaton Russell Brand and Johnathan Ross made a prank phone call to Andrew Sachs saying that Russell slept with Sachs granddaughter (who to be fair was part of a dance troupe called the Satanic Sluts) and people got all outraged and this was meant to air during the time when people were all angry at Ross and Brand so they didn't air it. And Russell resigned from the BBC. I reckon the public were a lil too harsh on them both...
russel brand was pretty much harassing rachel stevens that whole episode. what a loser.. although he is a funny comedian.. i also hated how he didn't let greg talk that one time, and kept cutting in loudly
Even before 18:26 I was just think that it's a little sad that a woman can be really beautiful and never be expected to be interesting, clever, talented, or funny, because they're doing their part by just looking good. Whereas the other females of the world have to have noticeable attributes like a great sense of humour or a world of talent to get positive attention.
@jettison27 yeah, how many times do you see boy band members who fit the some bill? It's the same for dudes. Not to say there aren't attractive interesting, intelligent, talented people, but it's the same across both genders. Your just looking at it from a feminist point of view and ignoring all the brainless good looking mimbos out there along the way.
I really liked Russel Brand before I saw this episode. The way he looks at the audience every time he says something "funny" is a bit sad. I've never been able to look at him the same.
@DelbyC in 2008 russel brand and jonathan ross made some offensive 'prank calls' on an 80-year celebrity called sachs, which caused a major scandal. russel quit the bbc and jonathan was on 12 weeks of unpayed leave. since then anything to do with brand has been a bit of a minefield.
I remember meeting sway when i was in school 6 years ago. He was standing outside Sainsburys in Angel. He told me to stay in school. Well i'd have no choice in this country.
He had to drop the anti semitic card hahaha, typical Jew. As much as i love Amstell, the fact that i predicted he would not like them dissing Barbara Streisand because shes Jewish just solidified some facts. SO yeah take the piss out of everything and everyone, as long as they are not jewish. whatever man...
I guess those type of jokes just fly over your head. He is playing on peoples sensibilities about antisemitism, its similar to a lot of black comedians; a classic example would be the militant black guy from Balls of steel.
To all you losers leaving stupid comments about Russell- If you hate him so much why did you actively seek out the only episode of Buzzcocks with him in it, you pathetic c*nts! You're lifes must be pretty sad if you spend your time searching for videos deliberately just to leave petty comments about one of the currently biggest comedians! If you don't like him, don't f*cking watch him, OK?
This is probably one of my all time most hated Buzzcocks episodes. I feel like Russell Brand is just trying to steal the show with no prevail. It's just annoying. I know his flamboyancy and exaggeration is part of his act but it's just too much. Greg Davis should have been captain, without Brand at all.
If you don't want to look it up: The Daily Mail reported on Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand saying some dirty things on Andrew Sachs' voicemail. The Daily Mail referred to Mr. Sachs with inflamitory terms like "national treasure" in order to get their readers more fired up leading to approximately 17 complaints to the BBC about the radio bit. Brand resigned from the Beeb in the melay and Ross was suspended for a few weeks.
Simon describes Russel as having "anarchic wit" at one point.
I would have thought pathetic stupidity is more accurate. I understand some people think he is funny but I just don't get it. To me there is nothing funny about Russel Brand, he's just a thicko who knows some long words and flashes them about in a desperate attempt to seem like he is clever rather than the tediously annoying little cock he is.
I can tolerate Brand on his own but when he's in the company of the greatness that is Greg Davies and completely hogs the spotlight like a spoiled child I am not amused.
@Gamesmaster148902 No it's not unaired. It was aired a couple of days before this was uploaded :) But it's filmed as a part of season 22, and wasn't aired until after season 24 because of the "Sachs scandal". Whence the "long lost" comment.
@MetalGearCherVik So, apparently, Brand and Jonathan Ross sent mesages and songs to Sachs' phone joking about the fact that Brand had slept with Sachs' granddaughter.
Brand was fired from the BBC and Ross suspended without pay. For the jokes, that is, not for the sex.
@xxAdamaBanguraxx Russel Brand and Jonathen Ross called Andrew Sachs (Manuel from Fawlty Towers) and said things about his grand daughter because Russel had had an affair with her. This was blown massivley out of proportion by the gutter press as everything is, resulting in Russel leaving the BBC and Ross being suspended.
@annaakhmatova yeah i guess calling an old man and making lewd remarks about his grand daughter on air is a good thing for a BBC employee to be being paid for.
@falcoboat I'm not saying it was a good thing I'm saying it was blown out of proportion. Ross said "he fucked your granddaughter." Which was true. There was no reason for them to say it but then again there was no reason for Brand to leave over it. I don't even like him, but I hate the Daily Mail. It's the catholic church for the 21st century.
they cut out a really good bit when simon was reading from russels book! russel basically predicted his own future (referencing preston)saying that he wont stand simon mocking his slightly vacant wife who he may or may not have by the time this thing airs lol
