The Tempest -- Russell Brand "Riff"

[korikittemidnightsun]

Ah thats good :)

[1650million]

True genius.

[KaylaTKennedy]

I'd love to know if his story was based off previous character analysis and research or if he was making these decisions for Trinculo as he was saying it. Either way, amazing to watch.

[captainsplifford]

As someone who has played Trinculo before, I can say that he's got that character down better than just about anyone. Love it.

[JLGH4ever]

i find it impressive that his sentence structure is very Jamesian. this is making me turned on. ... badly... just by sentence structure!

[OnlyTheBestDnB]

wow, he can speak words out of his mouth.

[jamesacalderwood]

"ah thats good"

[theatreangelina]

if ever there were a perfect player for the part of Trinculo...Russell Brand it is. He is the real life Trinculo almost without trying, but I'm glad he's done his character analysis! :)

[BrendaTheEnormous]

talking............just keep talking til its funny or profound....when its neither?,,,keep talking!!!!

[BrendaTheEnormous]

he works hard at least

[sangyedorje]

he's just connected to reality, he's freestyling

[RussellBLove]

i love russell

[yuriythebest]

"You're the only person I know that can do that"

[hazel72]

i just think he's the most amazing person in the entire world.

[unchainedheart]

@hazel72 i wholeheartedly concur.

[esprit15d]

when he said "I've been riding on the tidal wave of that laugh ever since," i wanted to stand up and cheer. Also I loved it when he said "I'm a royal, not of birth but of my own making" or something like that. Just really excellent.

[st3ve]

Also cut this pirate talk right now: the chance of any of pirates ever being in any way silver tongued or articulate and not being a simplistic monosyllabic smell is just ridiculous.

[BastasGirl]

I'd be telling a lie if I said I liked him all the time, but that was possibly one of the most fascinating things I have ever watched! It's amazing how well he stayed in character and how quickly his mind works to be able to improvise like that. Bravo Mr Brand!

[1000facesgirl]

Russell Brand = Word Sex

[jammy41]

Jack Sparrow

[cheesepuff5292]

Wow. Genius.

[greenteawithcitrus]

"That's good...."

Hahaha, Russell is so fantastic. I wish I could live inside his brain, just to see that magic as it's being formed.

[137sammage]

I love how he gets so excited about what he's saying. :D

[moyga]

The way he talks reminds me of Noel Fielding. I like this kind of scat poetry they do, playing with words.

[slammerjammy22]

was this scripted? Its so eloquent- the way he delivers his lines is amazing- love you russel!

[gangstarlimp]

he should be in 1 ov the pirates of the caribian

[nickpetie]

This is what you get when a drunk Hank Moody from Californication and a cracked out Marry Poppins make love in Alice in Wonderland

[XxxxxCluelessxxxxX]

It's like all his sentences are pre planned in his brain and when he says them, they just flow right out. Fascinating.

[inter835]

you dooooooom

[Jimprovize]

The 5 people that disliked this couldn't keep up with his flow of awesomeness

<3 Russell Brand! <3

[sweetlouis123456]

@Jimprovize couldnt said it better myself. i always think the people who dislike russell is a classic case of envy. hes so talented, funny and smart .

[KristenBellChannel]

Heey Russel ? I think I love you ♥

[dancerhollie]

hes good

[1123581321kiera]

Brilliant!

[arnjums]

I would kill for his curls!

[tristanoutlaw86]

ah thats good

[ravioneu]

I don't know exactly what I just saw, but it was incredible. What planet is he from?

[FangnclawXD]

lol! He should be in Pirates Of The Caribbean as Jack Sparrow's brother, he may not be as hot, but he's sure is as weird and fascinating...demented even. (thaz a compliment btw) XD

[ilda19xD]

this guy make me laugh omg i have tears of happiness :') ahahah i love your job kisses from some one in portugal xD

[TheBAGman17]

this reminds me of the ADD song.

[jennyoriley]

Definetly reminds me of Johnny Depp

[sweetlouis123456]

@jennyoriley better than johnny depp. i cant see depp doing this

[97PetLover]

isn't he married to Katy Perry? or is that some one else

[zoeandsally]

@97PetLover Yeah, it's him :)

[xXxVURDAHxXx]

You're sparkly as I'm.

You're talented as I'm.

Lovely energy and accent.

I like necklaces, bright jewels within.

[CrippleCrowx]

He'd have been great in the new Pirates Of The Carribean film :L

[EveryAvery1]

hah i love russell

[orso1thought]

Okay, most of the roles i've seen him in, he's a complete idiot, but that was brilliant.

[MsPippaLuv]

Absolute Brilliance!!!! A man of many amazing talents!! <3

[MissySimpleM]

He reminds me of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow.. they should cast him as... Julio Sparrow- Jack's long lost son!

[yeahitsSharm]

4 mins of non stop talking? whoa katy perry must be one lucky woman to have such a talented husband.

[MaryBunny357]

I think he´s a kind of crazy

[bboySteez]

He'd give Jack sparrow a run for his money he would

[MsPippaLuv]

@bboySteez personally i think he would have made a better Jack Sparrow then Johnny Depp

[jjakotya]

Ah Russell, you never stop your wounderment of the english language...... Fantastic mate :-)

[Northfacegrl95]

How does he keep talking!? He's gifted

[holanessa]

this is brilliant. he always amazes me. i love at the end how calm and humble he sounds when he says "well that's good"

[gretchman]

So unbelievably quick...

[ctcoyote16]

Cocaine? Ecstasy? Has everyone else seem to neglect the fact there's a dozen different water bottles out on the table, all with varying amounts of water in them...

[ptcrippen]

I want what hes having

[mcrkid22]

I saw a clip... To be honest, I'm kind of disappointed by his performance. Maybe it's just that I'm not used to modernized shakespeare, but I don't really want Russell in this... He's a wonderful actor, fantastic comedian, completely brilliant, but his accents a bit rough. Shakespeare should be more silky, and less edgy, IMHO.

[sp00kyb00ts]

@mcrkid22 Um...he's playing a jester. I don't think his accent is mismatched to that role.

[esprit15d]

@mcrkid22 But Trinculo is of this sort right?

[violentandcool]

He's obviously insane. i like him, though :D

[joecaton93]

If I had to pick someone to talk for England...

I would pick Russel Brand, Love him :)

[grayad]

hes such a crack head..lol

[blackxbamboo]

He's amazing.

[blackxbamboo]

He's incredible.

[joecaton93]

If I had to pick someone to talk for England, I would pick him.

[Icouldkillamonkey]

Isn't Terry Jones amazing.

[CCCoNeTiMe]

Alfred Molina should check out some battle MC's sometime. Whilst no doubt impressive, lyricist's been doing this shit for a minute.

[xxTaKe2xx]

why are there so many water bottles on the table ?

[Amandat170]

I wish I had his energy.

[DobermanCrew]

@Amandat170 i wish i had his weed =)) LOL

[KBROCK3R]

This dude would make a great character in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie

[ASLCheck]

@KBROCK3R That's exactly what i wanted to say!

:D

[DEVADlP]

It would be awesome a transcription of what he says for a foreigner like me :)

[ZanderSmith10]

@DEVADlP Julie Taymore-Mr.Trinculo is that your first or last name?

Russell-Trinculo actually a nickname because of me love of trinkets brightly colored things objects (idk)…anything really twinkles sparkles anything that a magpie might lie its claw upon that’s where you’ll find me if I see something sparkling even the glint in the eye of a fair maiden I’m on it thats me way that always been me way see you can put

[ZanderSmith10]

@DEVADlP me amongst any kind of filth any kind of scum ..anything bejeweled or sparkling or attractive ill be all over it like a rash not the harm rash like or any kind of malady nor any kind of dermatological disorder no, no, no why look at me skin pearly it is some would say look at it phosphorescent so it glints like oil like oil upon a puddle. So of course I was born to scum I always knew I was never meant to move among them my father a look

[steedchick]

Wtf was that????? lol I friggin love this guy...hahahahaha!!!

[LikeC10ckw0rk]

Epic is an understatement.

[blackpython]

This is absolutely brilliant. What a talent he is, not just a pretty face. When you impress Alfred Molina, you know you're doing something very, very right.

[eduardo00178]

Was it the Jeffrey effect, from the "Get him to the greek"? UOW

[sting8209]

amazing ability to just 'riff' on any subject, really. he has incredible talents.

[vanessahjkeys]

He was born to do Shakespeare! Takes great intelligence to ad lib like that. I'm impressed.

[Maven1992]

@vanessahjkeys

He was born to do shakespeare? He was horrible in that movie... as was the movie as a whole. Don't expect to see it win any awards unless you're thinking of razzies. Yes, he's a great improviser and can ad lib like a mad man. He's very funny and talented at comic ad lib but that has nothing to do with shakespeare. In fact, Shakespeare allows for less VERBAL ad lib than any other playwright. If done well, Shakespeare should usually have NO significant verbal ad lib, just physical

[vanessahjkeys]

He was born to do Shakespeare!

[strafgod]

Extraordinary in his ability to extemporize. The cogent thought manifests itself in cogent speech without a wasted synapse. "um...?", "uh...?" unneeded locutions in his case. Shakespeare, Julie Taymor and Russell Brand - all treasures. Now tell me a little something about your character's backstory...

[mrjamesgrimes]

Holy crap was that improvised?? That was amazing

[blablablabla9826]

i'm sorry but what does katy perry see in him?

[endokurtology]

Please tell me this is improvised. This is bloody ingenious 

[Aphrodizzle]

Maybe they shoud've made the Trinculo movie, as I've heard from several people the Tempest adaptation is a bit boring.

[TheJ3nnipher]

katy perry gets to sleep with him :D

[GeekeGirlxxJA]

its kinda amazing how he's able to do that  0_0

[ianiva]

Russell is a genius! His ability to improvise in such a way is truly staggering!

[dontlookinyourcloset]

wtf he scaring me

[surfergirrl66]

I need some of whatever he's on

[furballvie]

@surfergirrl66 its called talent, and if you dont have it you cant just go and get you some ^^

[queenrosered]

@surfergirrl66 I'll have a truckload of it!! I ADORE Brand!! :D

[lunaralan]

@surfergirrl66 Yeah, but he's really high most of the time. But who am I kidding, he's so cool!!

[BanThisChannel]

@surfergirrl66 clean for years, so it must just be life! i loved your comment, though.

[Hyattiee]

Holy crap, he never stops to breathe... o_o

[notnek011]

Russell Brand is a genius.

[1kingofutube]

kinda hypocritical, first theres no such thing as God, then God appears and now hes the enemy

[lizzy4liz]

@1kingofutube I agree, who is he to say there is no God? But its hilarious how he never stops talking and is going on and on! :D

[esprit15d]

@lizzy4liz I know that RB believes im God. I'm wondering if that was just what he said for the character. Particularly in the context of The Tempest, I could easily believe that Trinculo would believe that.

[Vampgirlrules]

:D
