He never shuts up
Just blasts out every dumb thing that flashes across his dizzy mind. Rude
shareLMAO. 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?
shareHe is guest on panels and talk shows.
shareSo 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.
shareThat's "defuse", JFZ.
shareHe'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.
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!"
We can only hope that this trouble he's having will finally persuade him to wind his neck in.
shareedited it, feel betta? Are you less triggered? I'll have mom send tendies down, right away.
shareTalk 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..."
Okay. I'm calling you professor from now on. I write with a certain style. So I'm not letting you change that.
shareHahahahaaa! "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.....
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?
shareHahaha! Priceless!
share"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.
Yeah, after reading your first sentence. Yeah, you don't know writing, and never took a college writing course in your life.
shareAgreed, 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.
shareOP is Another Classic leftwinger brings nothing to the table as usual.
shareI'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
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.
He's a barefaced fool no matter what side he's on
"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: βIt's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
.
There are some who think Brand's prattling is aimed at the Left
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.π
shareNow now, Kowalski. He's "Guilty until proven innocent"?? That's not like you.
shareYOU'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.
shareAnd 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...
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.
shareMaybe his lawyer can shut him up.
