....... is a cock

The guy is just not funny. I've never found him funny. I've tried, and I've tried, but my patience is gone. He's just an annoying prick that feeds of funnier people around him.

That is all

Agreed.

Exception to the rule is he was funny as fuck in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

He's funnier than Jo Brand, Lenny Henry and, erm.

I never found Little Britain funny, but did like Little Britain USA.

Jo brand has made me giggle once or twice.

Just the once or twice, but still once or twice more than Russell brand has.

Out of interest what triggered this outburst?

Would like to add Get Him To The Greek.  was wankered when I watched it but from what I remember he was quite good in it.

I saw him in stand up a few years ago and he was a different kettle of fish to the more high profile gubbins he’s widely know for.

Cracking routine did his homework on the area and did a cracking piece pawing through the local rag at some of the stories.  

Big fat quiz of the year 2009 (watching it now)

Which fortunately had the brilliance of David Mitchell to make amends.

Follow up to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I still hate him... but I remembered reading something he wrote on his blog for Amy Winehouse in the paper and to be honest although obviously its not on the subject of how funny he is but it is brilliantly written, very intelligent.

We all did that back in 1987. Unfortunately its 2012 and the same three jokes are still coming 1. "Men" 2. "Cake" 3. "Fat".

At least R Brand is original if not yours and my cup of tea.

Jo Brand raised a titter on QI once or twice.

Did she use a crane?

The Big fat quiz of the year which had him and noel fielding on it together first time round was the best one ever.

I can take or leave brand in all honesty

On a positive note though.

Tim Minchin's a funny cunt.

He is a complete twat

Stroke the fur, stroke the fur!  That movie had me in stitches.

His old radio stuff was funny too. He had his time and wore out, it happens.

i absolutely hated this film and found it not funny in the slightest. I do also think brand is a grade a wanker however i did enjoy the big fat quiz of the year with him and noel feilding. Maybe my opinions just dont count  :hmmm:

Russell Brand is undoubtfully talented and a pretty intelligent guy.

I don't think Hollywood is the greatest fit for him but his podcasts were brilliant on occasion.

I met Brand a party after a Carter gig a few years ago and I can confirm he is a grade A cunt.

I have seen 2 films with Mr Brand in and all I can say is that when he acts he doesnt act he is just himself.

Not good in an actor, not good in general, just not good.

He was brilliant on radio.

I've grown to like him, very witty and intelligent, and can take the piss out of himself.

Not funny in my book,seems a nice guy but not funny at all,unless winding up old men floats your boat.

I have never really seen Russel Brand live or any of his films so have nothing to add to this debate.

However, caught some of Live at the Apollo at the weekend and saw a fella called Josh Widdicombe who raised a couple of laughs.

I've been to a few of his shows over the years and I actually met him once I think it was in 2005. Came across as a genuinely nice guy. I loved his radio shows he used to do with Matt Morgan and the podcasts aswell. Good stuff.

I don't care one way or another about him as a comedian, but am insanely jealous the fact the lucky bugger has more than likely had his old man buried deep in Katy Perrys pooper.

There are funnier songs going off in the Town End every home game.
