The Secret Policeman's Ball

[Adawg4008]

policemen dont have balls, stupid

[Fluffybutt1965]

Until just 7 days ago, for reasons I'm not quite sure of, I had never heard of this genius. Now, I think I've seen 1000 youtube videos of him and am looking for more. This bloke is so quick and sarcastic and intelligent and hilarious all rolled in to one.

Amazing talent. Wish he would come to Australia (yes, I saw that he's been here before but that was obviuosly years ago, so he needs to COME BACK TO AUS RUSSELL !!!

[Dustyj13]

@Fluffybutt1965 you should listen to his old bbc radio podcasts, hours upon hours of brand's brilliance

[ShrimpyBoy101]

@Fluffybutt1965 google "Russell Brand Novamov" and there are plenty of his stand up shows!

also, check out russell brand ponderland on 4od.co.uk

[gmctruck68]

Russell Brand has a wonderful Jena Sa qua and lyricism that is unrivaled.

[backinburntcity]

@gmctruck68 Je ne sais quoi, non?

[gmctruck68]

@backinburntcity the way he carries himself and projects himself to the world...jena sa qua

[backinburntcity]

@gmctruck68 I understand, but you're spelling it incorrectly. :) It's "Je ne sais quoi", literally French for "I don't know what". Just letting you know...

[robiluvspandas]

i love the part where he quietly goes "ill read it out from my mouth" .. lol

[ant8tfive]

the sun newspaper. written by aload of public school southern puffs. in some articles when say a celeb cheated, they always say ROMP lol ROMP. who the fuck sez romp? oh john i met this girl last night took her back to my place and gave her a good old......ROMP, yeah romped her all night. LOL then again the only people who do become critics or writers are public school dorks anyway. put it this way if you have got a talent, you dont become a critic, or a newspaper writer.

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

admittedly an acquired taste. but i do love his left wing intelligent humor. thumbs up if you agree

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

'IF YOUR GONNA HAVE A FATHER FIGURE, IN PRISON!, PROBABLY BEST TO HAVE ONE WHO AINT ALSO A PAEDOPHILE, HE AMY ABUSE THAT POSITION'

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

[tawashy2009]

[ThePurpleSpeck]

I severely doubt it, given his reputation in the press...

[24682emily24682]

Lmaaooo!

[TheAverageFox]

At his funniest I think.

[rawrdinOsawrr]

'you are essentially an oxygen thief.' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

[thenevereverboy]

I very much hope Dave Franklin the Oxygen Thief has seen this! Russell is brilliant! :D

[owenhunt]

I was first getting into Russell Brand a few months ago, after abhorring him a few years ago. This performance was one of the swaying factors in that he expressed a tangible and agreeable attitude, on such matters as the Dave Franklin Oxygen Thief.

I like to write a little, and I wrote a joke about growing old and how someone could become an Oxygen thief, so when I saw this I just empathised with his jocular world outlook completely.

[dramaticafantastica]

every single joke is stupidly funny, like rolling round ont floor laughing funny, with no breaks to get your breath back, it's like being beaten up expect alot more satisfying!

[dramaticafantastica]

erm....did u reply to me by accident? im not sure that had anything to do with what i said.

[GuitarsForGroupies]

'You are essentially an oxygen thief'

hahahaha.

Xxx

[mainface]

i would never buy that shit paper again after they put the boot into our lads in iraq has to be said tho, the sun has the best football coverage of any paper

[murunmurunmurun]

never speak again

[mainface]

wind your neck in you clueless cunt, you cant blame the soldiers on the ground for the war, most join up to protect their country some to learn a trade not fight a bullshit war for money dont bother responding to this,because i wont reply again, i find wankers like you looking to get into pissing contests on sites like you tube a little embarassing and a waste of my time

so run along you frightfull bore

[JamaicanBacon102]

some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed now didnt they.

[mainface]

no mate, it was just another twat trying to make everything into a race row boring

[jadorephotography]

despite his 'bad image' hes actually quite an intelligent man, you can tell he hasnt tried had with these jokes, it comes more naturally.

[petemakky]

he is a genius, have you read his book? amazingly written

[yofellaisfly]

"do any of you have a friend that you like, fucking hate?"

gets me every time!!

[clubpenguinlifestyle]

the bit that gets me is "if your gonna have a farther figure in prison" bit lol and the meer man bit lol

[aapie15]

can i find the whole thing somewhere?

[kkflazy]

This is damn funny

[KDogMcHoodie]

lol i love russell brand!! haha his voodoo dolls should b taken away and burned.... LMAO!!!!!! XD!!!

[YoungCub]

And for some reason the expression at 3:12 reminds me of Chris Rock

[YoungCub]

This is damn funny

[blue0daisy]

lol i love russell brand

[a1TOOz9]

What a Sillywabbit u r...or did u mean rabbit?! Some1 BY this guy the sun! 8 )

[sillywabbit1349]

if you can't spell 'buy' then the sun is for you!

[DukeAngus]

Don't by the sun!!

Liverpool!!!

[Dupeo42]

"Voodoo is very REEAL!"

[dodoegg1]

imagine if this was on telly now, the joke about Ian Huntley "after he killed those children" would have certainly faced backlash by the same Daily Mail reading morons that made so much of a fuss about the whole Sachs ordeal.

[fenn23x]

What , Ian Huntly's Practicing Witch Craft , Oh Your Joking

[zutroy85]

Brilliant!

Sun readers = brainless scum

[mightyboosh4ever]

If Your Gonna Have A Father Figure xD LMAO Russ <3 so sweet :) my fav celeb, next 2 noel fielding ;D Heavily Armed Paedophiles YAY Lolz

[AnnaRodge]

wow this is amazin, i laughed so much!

I dont know much about voodoo but....

ha i love him!

[Roxanne2k8]

russell brand is so funny

[treehouse722]

Shows what an incredibly bright chap he is.

[Dr0ctave]

I'm not a fan of Russell Brand, but that was fucking funny. Perhaps I should give him another chance.

[boxpilot]

Me too.

[Taramriel]

No don't because you're a complete cretin if you were offended by the recent events.

[Dr0ctave]

I wasn't offended by it... I just thought it was a bit nasty. It was quite funny (that song was really funny), but I wouldn't have liked someone to discuss my sex life with my Grandad. It upset Mr. Sachs and Georgina, and I don't think they should have done it, although I admire Russell for standing up for himself and telling the BBC to bollocks, rather than crawling back to them like Ross.

All this fuss is bloody ridiculous. It's just a media creation. I don't think anyone was offended really.

[ukstreetracer]

No youre a complete cretin for being told what to think by the tabloid press. people say and do worse things than that on the telly every week.

[Taramriel]

I don't read tabloids so your point is invalid. Try again. And you also confuse me, you actually seem to be agreeing with me, because I'm supporting Brand and so are you in your last sentence. So I'm not sure what your point is, if any.

[ukstreetracer]

dont read the tabloids? some sort of muslim communist are we? :p

i thought you said 'wernt offended by recent events you are a cretin' sorry!

[Taramriel]

O_o no problem

[NEWversionofOLDskool]

i'm going to used that

"you are an oxygen thief"

i love it

(and russell of course)

.x

[SenaraBryluen]

fucking genius, class! :-))

[william131211]

vry funny! lol

[muppetmadness]

He really reminds me of Andy Parsons when he says "Voodoo is very real..." :D. Brilliant piece.

[GameHead286]

he done this in the applo

[wellabecky]

yeh i thought he had :D i'm not going mad! lol

[duncan01234]

voodoo is a completely misunderstood religion by nearly the entire british public most of peoples ideas are basically from christian propoganda spread during the colonisation of the caribean to promote christianity and supress voodoo

[ratbag87]

Ye like were really that botherd!! Were watching this because of Russell Brand not because of the fact hes talking about voodoo!

[duncan01234]

oh im really sorry i should never try to spread truth about a completely misunderstood religion that suffers mass prejudice from nearly the entire western world, i mean just listen to the people who wrote in those letters

[ratbag87]

Im not sayin that you shoud not spread the word as im sure its interesting!

Its The comedy side of Russell Brand were more bothered about not the fact hes talkin about voodoo!

[duncan01234]

well i think people should no if your not interested then so what it dosnt take more then 10 seconds to read the comment and as nearly the entire video hes talking about voodoo i think its pretty relevant

[Angelindisguise17]

Just in case, im gunna say again that i didn't interpret it as oxygen fish but someone else did. N i said the same thing as u :-)

x

[Angelindisguise17]

Luv russell brand!!

LOL i know it says oxygen thief, but

embemz123 im just wonderin why you find it funny if he had said oxygen fish it doesn't make any sense.

[RichSummer107]

"i think of it as a friend............ but do any of you have a friend you just FUCKING HATE!!!" best part XD

[JessicaLloyd91]

this is on his dvd

[OwenTheHarrold]

oxygen thief. not oxygen fish.

[embemz123]

you are essentially...and oxygen fish hahahaa a genuine lol

[dodoegg1]

how did you interpret that as oxygen fish? and what the fuck is an oxygen fish? a tortoise?

How would that be funny. "Dave, your a tortoise".

[Lukeeeeeo]

[MRSKNOXVILLEx]

[maximumcobblers]

[corie617]

i love russell brand. he has made some mistakes in his past, but he's a genius. i have subscribed to his podcast on itunes :)

[Mynameiscaryn]

i will fight for the russell brand army if it comes down to it. i will help him become king of the universe. he says he's a revolutionary... i say he's a god!

[flashpro62]

@Mynameiscaryn I wouldn't fight for him...

[wimwom1]

All Sun readers are oxygen thieves.

[Oscar301]

Dave Franklin is an oxygen thief!

[lodge909]

they should get russel on the boosh

[VamLoveAndKisses]

When I first saw Russell Brand, it was on Friday Night With Johnathon Ross, and I thought he was making a bit to much of himself for attention, and that he was a bit wild and up himself. But now I have grown to love him, and for thowe very reasons I do. I have watched so many videos of him, I have even half inherited traits from him! lol WE all love him! We can't hide it!

[fatboy0607]

i think he useed to take horse tranquilizer

[desperado2207]

read his autobioraphy, he took everything :)

addicted to heroin for a while,

but i do love him :)

[fatboy0607]

lolz

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

@fatboy0607 ketamine.

[pippaxdyllan]

Right i dont know much about voodoo

Lmao

[croft78]

Very like Ricky Gervais though!

[Patroels]

Who the f*ck is this Amy Winhouse-wannabe?

How ever funny he may be (and I do think he's funny), that hairdo makes me sick!

Okay, Russel: Don't have your hair cut. But at least wash it once a year, eh?

[kahn200697]

hes a celeb ... he washes his hair more times than you've had hot meals .. piss off back to your own videos jolly forigner stop hating on our national treasures

[kingdomofheaven666]

how dare he insult Russels sexy grand apparel!

[kingdomofheaven666]

he had it before amy....

[Patroels]

Sorry guys, didn't mean to insult Amy!

I don't get it. Kahn200697 is putting him up alongside some of the greates comical geniuses (all of which are british BTW):

The guys behind Monty Python, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Rick Mayall, Adrian Edmonson, Jimmy Carr and the list could go on for ages...

"he's a celeb"... So the fuck what?

Oh, and what does Kahn know about his shower routines?

I for one don't want to know!

[TheCheshireSpider]

Ahaha clever guy, so funny!

The Sun must and will die.

[BroadwayBabe121]

Russell does make me laugh. I don't know why, he just makes me laugh. I think hes an aquired taste. I've aquired to him quite nicley. =)

[vladtaltosfan]

[MustaPerhonen]

Yeah, it's oxygen thief. Oxygen fish doesn't make sense.

[booshxbitch]

[fatboy0607]

[loobylou145]

The Mighty Boosh sucks!! Russell Brand Rocks!!!!!!!!

this kicks ass "oxygen thief" classic!

[ILoveGirlsAloud61]

:O Russell Brand rocks, yeah but THE MIGHTY BOOSH DOES NOT SUCK!

[charliebad]

Like their stage show, I have to say I've tried many times to get into their tv programme, but apart from a couple of silly laughs I just can't. Annoys me because I love abstract crazy comedy. I have to say they're not funny unfortunately. This is the best sketch by Russel ever though!

[youcocksmoker]

charliebad is a twat, i love brand but his routine here is just form his own live act, word for word. the boosh are completely immense what are you on about, best double act since reeves and mortimer

[DramaQueenBee]

i don't think he's that funny...I PREFER NOEL FIELDING AND THE BOOSH!!!

[booshxbitch]

I like Noel Fielding to but I like Russell equally as much.

[chaddy2012]

Oops, I meant 4.37 to 4.40 lol

[chaddy2012]

4.37 - 4.30 classic

[CtpAids]

Lol. The Sun is shit.

[ellie758]
