Russell Brand

[METALMAN]

Did anyone hear his interview of Morrissey on 6 Music a while ago? I thought it was really good.

[Pesci]

Oh yeah, Noel Fielding is a twat too.

Ugh, yeah. I swear I'm the only person I know who doesn't like him. I think he made me laugh once or twice when he was on Buzzcocks, but for those few times there were a whole load more where I just didn't find him funny at all.

I've been a fan since he was so good at the BRITS last year. From there I checked out his first stand-up DVD (wonderful), TV series (sketchy, although I thought Ponderland was great) and finally got in a habit of downloading the podcast. I think the radio show is probably his best work because, as has been pointed out, he's funnier when he's being himself and not playing the "S&M Willy Wonka". The back and forths with Noel Gallagher and the occasional Noel Fielding appearance are great, and his recent interviews with his Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-stars (Seth Rogen was on this week) have been really fun. Great to see him absolutely KILL on Leno, because with the Sandler gig and the upcoming Judd Apatow movie, it's clear he's got plenty of backers in Hollywood.

Sometimes Brand annoys me othertimes I find him funny. I'd heard of him before I saw him doing any comedy stuff, he worked well with Noel Fielding on The Big Fat Quiz of The Year, and he's funny when he's not talking being bawdy for the sake of being bawdy. On the subject of Fielding, I always feel he's not a solo comedian he works best when he has Jullian Barrett to play off both visually and comedically. I do actually think Jullian Barrett is funnier than Fielding though.

[Vamp]

Everytime he's on TV I simply think to myself "Oh, that tosser's not dead yet then."

[Dingle]

He works very well with Morrissey and I don't mind him on the radio show. But I still hate the guy other than this. He's funny when being intelligent.
