He never shuts up


Just blasts out every dumb thing that flashes across his dizzy mind. Rude

reply

LMAO. Who's he being rude to? The people who click his video to listen to him? Did you want to get a word in edgewise, with someone who can't hear you?

reply

He is guest on panels and talk shows.

reply

So then it should be easy to post a link of him being rude. He's literally used an example on how to defuse others being rude.

reply

That's "defuse", JFZ.

reply

He's right though. I attended a seminar on 'how to defuse others being rude' last summer and it was all clips of Russell Brand.

They taught us such things as 'Interrupt a conversation by loudly talking about yourself', 'Interrupt a conversation by loudly talking about your penis (but call it something like your 'dingle-wingle' so they don't get too upset)', 'Witter on endlessly in flowery language that sounds plausible until people work out you're using half the polysyllabic words incorrectly', 'Tell people if they want to see change they should stop voting (I am very clever)' and, of course, 'disarm them with crude sexual remarks that you can pass off as your on-stage comic persona, my liege.'

It was very enlightening.

reply

Yep, using clips of Brand being an outright prat would definitely illustrate how to stop people being outright prats. That would work very well. Fighting fire with fire. Brand's normal personna would have been the perfect example of "How to be a rude dickhead and get thoroughly hated."

I especially liked "'Witter on endlessly in flowery language that sounds plausible until people work out you're using half the polysyllabic words incorrectly". Perfect. Typical Russell Brand.

yup , thats what I remember of him when he was proper famous.
I'm mainly remembering some satire show taking the piss .

"New board game - Russel Brand's wordification!"

reply

We can only hope that this trouble he's having will finally persuade him to wind his neck in.

reply

edited it, feel betta? Are you less triggered? I'll have mom send tendies down, right away.

reply

Talk about being rude..... Maybe I should use some of Russell Brand's tricks to defuse your rudeness. Nah, not worth the trouble.

And, btw, it's not "He's literally used an example..". It's "He's literally used AS an example..."

reply

Okay. I'm calling you professor from now on. I write with a certain style. So I'm not letting you change that.

reply

Hahahahaaa! "I write with a certain style".. oh, man.....

[Translation: "I sometimes accidentally omit words that are absolutely essential to the meaning I'm trying to convey"......]

Hahahaa! Why don't you take a leaf out of Russell Brand's Style-book, and write ten polysyllabic words where one simple word would suffice?

"certain style"... smh.....

reply

Yes, if you knew anything about writing, you would know tone and style are important. When I want to come off like a snarky prick, and purposely sound like a mook from Brooklyn. When I want to be a pretentious prick, I WILL use a bunch multi-syllabic words, but I will never EVER waste my time using spell check or grammar. I want people to go for low-hanging fruit and trap them because all's it does it make them come off as petty, Tom Petty, and weak. Okay Professor of Logic? Do you own a dog house?

reply

Hahaha! Priceless!

reply

"Yes, if you knew anything about writing, you would know tone and style are important"

You don't have to -know- anything about writing to write well. All you have to do is express a thought using the english language correctly, with the english grammar. That's all.

Also, there's no TONE in writing, so this is a peculiar thing for you to say. Tone only exists in other forms of communication, not pure text, which is why people misunderstand SO much, as some people like to IMAGINE a tone that just isn't there (because it can't be).

You can INTEND for there to be a tone, but it won't be there for the reader, so you might as well forget this 'tone'-nonsense.

Style is DEFINITELY not important! It doesn't matter what 'style' you draw some beautiful scenery in, as long as it's a honest expression of yourself! The same goes for writing - HOW do you even have a 'style' of writing anyway? Do you use words in a very weird way? Do you seek to encumber your communications by the utilization of verbally excessive strand of interchangeable characterizations?

Even Bruce Lee spoke strongly against styles, because styles limit and inhibit what should be a free and flowing, honest expression. You can't be a good martial artist and express only style.

The same way, you can't write well if you express STYLE instead of your honest self.

No wonder you didn't quite understand the difference between 'power' and 'feelings' in your other post. You said it's all about feelings, but it's not.

It's ALL about power. It's not even about money, as TPTB easily creates and manipulates money any which way they want, and money is an artificial concept anyway, used to enslave people - money is debt that acts as chains, if you want to use a 'style' of expression (Tarot, in this case).

It's all about power and the sub-section of power; CONTROL.

reply

Yeah, after reading your first sentence. Yeah, you don't know writing, and never took a college writing course in your life.

reply

Agreed, OP. He needs to just pull his fckn head in, shut his trap, and disappear from public sight. He's a wanker of the first order. Total dickhead.

reply

OP is Another Classic leftwinger brings nothing to the table as usual.

reply

I'm baffled how you've managed to somehow make this into a political left right thing.


Usually when this happens its because the subject of the discussion has , in the past , said something political and has got themselves onto the GOP's kindergarten style BFF or MortalEnemy list and the goppers will pour in with either love or scorn as the party line dictates

reply

Er, Moviechatterer, you just contributed to the political content of this topic yourself.... ;)

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass what political stance Russell Brand takes. He's a barefaced fool no matter what side he's on.

reply

He's a barefaced fool no matter what side he's on


Brand is not someone you want on your side, whichever side you're on.

There's a rather good article from Peter Hitchens -- someone whose politics I profoundly disagree with -- in which he pegs Brand quite well: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12533021/PETER-HITCHENS-Trying-argument-Russell-Brand-like-playing-chess-squirrel-given-place-national-debate.html

And there's an old clip of Sean Lock absolutely nailing him currently doing the rounds on social media too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sEanhc3-dY

reply

"Arguing seriously with such a person is like trying to play chess with a squirrel, which might move the occasional piece without any real idea what it was doing, but at the next moment will overturn the board, scattering the pawns, kings and queens, and chattering shrilly as it does so."

Brilliant!

Yes, Brand is not someone you should take seriously, regardless of your political preference. He's simply foolish. The man should shut his mouth, quietly take himself away out of the public gaze, and rethink his life choices. But I don't think it would do him any good. A fool is a fool.

I have to say, I tend to be more on Hitchens' side of politics. There are some who think Brand's prattling is aimed at the Left, and they mistakenly applaud him for what they perceive as his alliance with their views. But I think he's neither one thing nor the other. He's a buffoon without the self-awareness to know what he is.

He's a perfect illustration of the well-known quote: β€œIt's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

.

reply

Oh, the prattle definitely used to be aimed at the left. He's been through a few different phases: at one point he was the Artful Dodger crossed with Jesus. Then he became Che Guevara. And now he panders to a demographic of right-wing Americans on YouTube.

I have no reason to believe he was sincere in any of these incarnations. He's very obviously a massive egoist. The main thread through his career has been attention-seeking and what's best for Russell Brand in any given moment.

Politics really doesn't enter into any of this on any serious level.

reply

Yes, exactly, that's how he seems to me, too. It's all about Him. But he's such a damn fool, he doesn't mind making himself look foolish in order to get that attention he craves. I don't really think he's pandering to the Right. It's more like as you say, he's pandering to himself. I'm more inclined to the Right, but I absolutely loathe the man, no matter what he says.

I just despise fools.

I NEVER SHUT UP EITHER...I DIDN'T RAPE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THOUGH...SO I GOT THAT GOING FOR ME.πŸ™‚

reply

Now now, Kowalski. He's "Guilty until proven innocent"?? That's not like you.

reply

YOU'RE RIGHT...THAT IS MY BAD...I'M A BRAND FAN TOO...FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL AND GET HIM TO THE GREEK ARE FAVORITES OF MINE.

reply

And you're honest. :)

I haven't seen any of the movies he's been in. I've only seen him on TV. But that's been more than enough for me...

reply

HE PLAYS A SINGER NAMED ALDOUS SNOW IN BOTH FILMS...FOR A BAND CALLED INFINITE SORROW...THEY EVEN RELEASED AN ALBUM ...I LOVE BOTH MOVIES AND THE MUSIC...EVERYTHING ELSE HE HAS DONE IS HIT AND MISS...MOSTLY MISS WITH ME.

reply

Maybe his lawyer can shut him up.
