[moomeen]

I HATE this guy.

[ben250158]

@moomeen ...you're probably on the wrong video then

[roflcoptermobiliobil]

@moomeen why? cause he told an offensive JOKE... he is comedian dumbass... if you can't take a joke then you might as well live in a cave, because youll be offended EVERYWHERE... what was it? the jonas brother purity rings, which them themselves are immature to even own, and were just a scandal to make money, or was it because he didnt like bush? IT WAS A JOKE what he said.... and sure obama did bad, and russell promoted him... SO DID HALF OF THE FUCKING DUMBASS POPULATION... grow up...

[the1missingchannel]

@roflcoptermobiliobil alright goldilocks calm down

[roflcoptermobiliobil]

@the1missingchannel hate is something that shouldnt be jumped to the conclusion of, you by disagreeing are sub consequently condoning hate...

[the1missingchannel]

@roflcoptermobiliobil Well I like Russell Brand, I just felt like posting that comment

[flipcamvlogz]

@the1missingchannel I like R.E.M. and russel brand

so its a win win

[patichavez]

oohhh

me encanta!

[mergistribu]

i want to hear him singing this song... with a mandolin.

[TaylerKatyCat]

I actually love him so much i swear he can do everything ! :D <3 <3

[neilwilson557]

russell is fucking awesome

[bbBumble28]

I think I would pass out if I got to meet Russell. I love him so much

[ruiolas]

I've seen it about 10 times now...

[Staff777]

Ooo OH!

[jtrem12389]

i love how he starts to sing as the strings break

[pbrskater26]

Damn thats funny

[MUSICLOVERwwmm]

Hes not even playing the right chords

[moonsugar1]

@MUSICLOVERwwmm He's not even playing the right notes!

Mind you, he's better at the Mandolin than he is comedy... lol

[MUSICLOVERwwmm]

@moonsugar1 lol yea

[JimmyMeBoy84]

@moonsugar1 no hes fucking hilarious he makes me scream and shit myself with laugher! if you don't like Russell why are you clicking on a video which clearly has 'Russell Brand' in its title? If you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all!

[moonsugar1]

@JimmyMeBoy84 Well firstly i was replying to someone elses comment, secondly I play the Mandolin and people were asking if he's actually playing it, which he isnt because his fingers are over the wrong frets, and thirdly this was a bbc advert I saw on television so I already had something to say about it before i watched this...If your such a comedy fan then how come you cant take a joke? Take a day off will ya! Theres worse people on YT to have a go at! lol

[MichaelKhanTV]

LOLOL

[lapickleslol]

OH! NO! lmfao !!!!!!! hahaha

[JakeSCANDALS]

I wonder if he really knew how to play Losing My Religion

[neilwilson557]

russell brand is fucking awsome

[christopherdevaney]

he the man!

[RemnantSRT440]

I'm not a fan of Russell brand but this was funny

[EloraSmith]

Awesome ><

[museken]

I never saw this before it was priceless. How many times have you drove by a Tavern with that Fender hanging on the wall in blue neon knowing you can play it. Is it even real. This is very funny because mandolins are known for strings breaking(people don't loosen the strings after tuning them). It seems to me he really played that...what caused the strings to break so original..5 stars!

[TheMissyclark124]

That was awesome mandolin playing! LOL I love when wfter he broke the guitar just put it back and made like nothing happend! Classic!

[HeavenlyValo]

He was quiet good there for a minute wasn't he?

[amsiermann]

im not gonna invite this guy to my house

[SparkLeTonGue]

@amsiermann Why because he broke a ekulele? Haha I wouldn't chuck him out if he broke a ekulele of mine...then again my brother already broke my ekulele, too boisterous.

[izvunzemen]

@SparkLeTonGue it's ukulele what your brother broke. the instrument in the video is a mandolin.

[izvunzemen]

@SparkLeTonGue or is it ? :D

[SparkLeTonGue]

@izvunzemen Oh....no mine was a ukulele not a mandolin haha

[phailez]

@ESPSuperV Many rockstars have played mandolin, that doesn't make the mandolin a rock instrument. Many jazz musicians have played the organ, you don't call everyone who plays organ a jazz musician.

[SiriusxStar]

why the hell are the comments ful of people who dont like russell brand why watch it if you dont like him??? !!

[killaudio19]

infant sorrow!!!

[SydneyBrit]

CUNT

[robg71]

@SydneyBrit....Talentless Cunt

[tabber87]

What is the appeal of this fucking douche?

[lovingbritpop]

@tabber87 Gorgeous hair gorgeous legs and lots of wit? :))

[SparkLeTonGue]

@tabber87 I really don't get why people like you go and watch videos of people you don't like. I NEVER watch videos of Justin Beiber and all those pop stars....because they don't interest me. So why do you guys watch vids of ppl you think are "fucking douches"? It's take some of your internet data too ya know..

[tabber87]

@SparkLeTonGue I watch whatever YouTube recommends.

[LumiereJones]

@SparkLeTonGue I guess they think they'll find likeminded individuals among the "garbage" and then they can all rally together and tell us how exactly fucking douchey Brand is... I also think some people have too much time on their hands, I mean you can fucking watch a whole video of someone puking and say "OMG that was fucking disgusting", but the point is your watching this video of something you find vile in your spare time... get a hobby.

I liked the video.

[dutchgoing]

@tabber87 No idea....



[MidnightEkaki]

lol

[TheRomanStalker]

Go Mandolin!!!

[DeathChipmunk]

Love his little hair flick at 0:36

[jnnja11]

It doesnt matter what you play, its how you play it and the heart you put in it that decides if you're a rockstar, whether your playing a Fender Stratocaster or a classical mandolin.( BTW, fender makes mandolins too.)

[videogeek32]

fail.



[KyleB1988]

coombehs a poof!

[CarpMagic95]

lol sometimes i like this guy and other times i think hes a bloody twat, but what evers right, this is well funny lol

[Requim434]

even though i personally don't like russel brand. this is so fucking funny

[bffalicia]

Russell is hella funny no matter what he does. Epitome of coolness!

[quagmire475]

fucking hilarious!!!

[TheHillSideMafia]

hahaha "OH OH NO!!"

[xiheartcherx]

dont find this funny and i laugh at everything!

[faultlines2000]

love how he's about to start singing when the string breaks.

[OneAndAHalfOne]

its a mandoline

[retard8011]

What is he playing?

[ddadoom]

FUCK YOU! just cos you're a braindead cunt who dosent understand words with more than two syllables, dosent mean everyone is, try to get a bit of background info before you judge him, and just for the record, he IS Cool!

[Macsk8ing]

Russel Brand sucks.

[bollipopman]

I kinda just lost my heart to russell when i first saw this.

[cuntmeinsir]

Wrong key Russell

[juampygh]

JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJJAJA XDDD

[MBGamingLegends]

BBC radio 1 - same shit 7 times a day

BBC radio 2 - amazing classic songs

[Lesroisdumondejhv20]

jajaja

[larachael71]

lol...go Russell!

[alishmika]

I must have seen this 20 times now and it still makes me laugh every time. If anyone else had done this, it wouldn't be funny. Russell Brand is the best!

[Rasha5377]

@alishmika That could have been a random hotel worker and it would have been just as funny. Brand didn't add anything more than an eye-catching personality to make someone not flip the channel for a moment.

[kinneas]

@Rasha5377 U jelly bro?....... yea u jelly. Go be jellyfag somewhere else gayboy.

[Rasha5377]

@kinneas I wasn't trying to hate on Brand at all. Just saying that the commercial's concept was funny on its own merit. And for the record... why do you talk like the chinese guy from "The Hangover?"

[kinneas]

@Rasha5377 Yeaaaa u so jellehhhh

[TheOldSpirit]

@kinneas Lol omg liek ur so cool from 4chan. get a life dickhead.

[kinneas]

@TheOldSpirit u so jelly brah

[oRiOnBuGs]

@alishmika he is i love him

[vlaSINda]

Hail Russell Brand

[777Mario2]

What a ganster

[PinkPufflePie]

ahaha...this is funny like,

"oh hello...who left this mandolin lying around" :P

[Demonmixer]

And so came Aldous Snow!

[aceisgreat2008]

I wonder if he has the same response during sex

[aceisgreat2008]

I wonder if he has the same response during sex?

[007hor]

@aceisgreat2008, what, snapping his banjo string? OUCH!

[thehillbillyscotsman]

@007hor thats not a banjo its a mandolin nothing alike

[007hor]

@thehillbillyscotsman, guess the joke went straight over your head.

[1nV1nC1Bl3BaLaM]

Wtf

[DrFringo]

pause at 0;44 ,you can see other mandoline on the table :D

[josey5673]

i hate him he only acts and looks like a rock star he makes no music it pises me off mad people these day say there rokstars but theyre just cokstars

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 who said he was a rock star you dumbass?? he is cooler than you, you must be a fat 15 year old with no life , and you are just jealous of him, so fuck off, and you play yourself because you clearly dont have anyone to have sex with

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis lol ur making asumptions of me that are opposite of russell brand obviously ur the one with no life if u have to defend soemone who doesnt give a fuk about u and u dont even know and yes he does portray himself as a rokstar without playing music so stfu

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 He is a fucking comedian!!!! what is wrong with your head, o now I see, you are american, that explains everything, united kingdom owns america...

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis no united kingdom got beat by america so many times i dont even like america but being psyched about uk is retarded and now ur calling out america i thought british people like u were stereotypes congratz uve proven urslef a failure once again

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 1 - learn how to spell before comenting  2 - england got beat by america so many times, haha, in what? that doesnt even makes sense!, united states were a colony of england, we own you, we will always be bigger, stronger, and more powerfull than america is,united states and their surrounding countries are totally out of control, except for mexico, they are cool. 3- congratz?uve? yourself?only children talk like that!how old are you?10?

[Plecebo1996]

@coldplayandoasis I love how you have a go at someone for their spelling and spell the word "commenting" in that very sentence, wrong. Such irony.

[coldplayandoasis]

@Plecebo1996 i did one mistake, you do like 20! see, just listen to this:" i love how you have a go at someone for their spelling" have a go???? at someone?? I knew people in america were stupid, but you, you are just out of the line!, Russell Brand is from england, that might be why you are jealous of him, WE OWN YOU! , mexico is cool, cooler than america, and you didnt answered me, are you 10 , or 11??

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis alrite im not gona keep fighting u u are an idiot out of porportions have a go is corect english u know the language uk created so ur retarded were typing like this to shorten what we say cuz unlike u we dont stay on this website 24/7 to reply to coments all day and dont say u dont becuase the time it takes u to answer back is consistent so u realy r a loser and im 14 and kids dont talk like that so just stfu and america beat britain atleast 3 times uk never beat us

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 you are 14? you are a fucking kid, goodbye, you americans think you know everything, but, he is a comedian, not a rockstar, his look is weird, but thats how he is, and america beat england 3 times?? when?? what do you mean with beat?? in a soccer game? in rugby? and you are the idiot, its 8 on clock, bed time for little girls, and answer, beat in what????

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis alrite so its 8 for u so that means the past 4 coments it was 2 am for u see u are a loser rite after someone send u a coment you respond rite bak so u ar on clok america beat britain in Revolutionary war War of 1812 and curently were far superior and britain isnt biger and stronger then america dumass i hate being in a flame war but u wont stop ur such a loser is this all u do cuz aperantly it is

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 you just went to google and typed "USA beats UK" and you found the war of 1812, okay, that war was when we admited the independence of usa, you didnt win, we admited the independence of you, and that was because FRANCE was with you, you were indians!!, and you said that 3 or more, but you oly mentioned one, which was not a good example, and yes, I send comments at 2 am, right now its 2:14 am so?? my bed time is not 8 like your's little baby, am we will always be more powerful than you

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis cant u count revolutioanry war war of 1812 and being beter then u curently is fuking 3 not one and u just admited urself a loser if ur up on 2 am u shouldnt be on youtube comenting on shit u obviously have no life to keep comenting this long u just wait for mycoments dont u loser

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 please, stop, i mean, go to school kid, i work late, and my computer is on, and in the mail, boom, and idiot response, I dont care what you think, i mean, please, you clearly didnt found the 3 wars, just one (FAIL) and well just go to sleep lttle girl goodbye, you think you know everything but you dont know shit! and the real music comes from the UK, usa has fucking hanna montana, and justin bieber, and other supid disney "stars"

[josey5673]

@coldplayandoasis ur retarded revoultionary war and war of 1812 is 2 not one uk is techno now and has jessie j ur a loser and the more u talk the more loser u are im beter then u becuz idc about this website or sum retarded brit who thinks hes beter becuz british imperialism destroyed the world dont bother comenting bak ull just prove urself a biger loser and im not gona respond to u

[coldplayandoasis]

@josey5673 sorry, why am i a loser, cause you keep saying that, and, well i think you are a loser, i mean i am brit, i live in italy, and i am working in one of the best organizations of designing, i have a girlfriend, since 4 years now, and i simply dont have time for you, im living my dream, im gorious, i think the reason you call me a loser without reason is because you are a bigger louser, you most be the typical 14 year old fat guy that the girls make fun of, you can reply, i wont answer

[Plecebo1996]

@coldplayandoasis Firstly I'm from Australia, the land of awesome. And secondly I don't understand what you're trying to pick me up for. Saying "have a go at someone" is perfectly fine English and I spelt all words correctly. The fact you are bringing up age means you are obviously insecure about your own. I guess I'll have to leave this conversation as I don't want to bully a young child and find solace in the fact I have a better life than some dirty Mexican piece of shit using his first PC.

[coldplayandoasis]

@Plecebo1996 mait wait, im sorry, I wasn't trying to talk to you, it was for the other guy, im from england, the reason I talk about mexico is because I went like 2 months ago and I tought it is a wonderful place, ive been to usa: new york, los angeles, and its beautiful, but not better than manchester, or london, i have only been once in sydney, and It is beautiful, but still no better than UK, were the good music comes from. :P i didnt realize i was talking to two persons, have a good day

[Razmass666]

@josey5673 ffs, what he have is called a STYLE, its Rocknroll, if you ask me, he looks like he's a clean Sleaze Rocker,

See it like this, everyone that wears big clothes and have a cap on their head is a Famous rapper?

Its a fuckin style,

[phailez]

@josey5673 Music does not dictate the type of clothes you are allowed to wear. He does not pretend to be a rockstar in anyway, if you think playing a mandolin is anything near being a rockstar you might possibly be retarded.

[palkian90]

@phailez yeah you're right, mandolin is way cooler

[MrPelicanPants]

@phailez Um, Peter Buck is a rockstar. He plays one.

[MaesterTed]

@phailez

Bob Schmidt from Flogging Molly says hi :D

[tabber87]

@phailez Yeah, I mean Jimmy Page never played a mandolin...

[huho0o]

[adamocovic]

@guapotomask not a banjo man its a mandolin

[danielkay1994]

@guapotomask im not sure, its not like he's getting the positioning wrong.

[hlm2880]

@guapotomask Yeh he is miming it, they spoke about it on the old radio show 

[tristanoutlaw86]

@guapotomask no shit

[zdiamond97]
