I saw someone compare him to that one episode of The Simpsons where Homer played “The Cosmic Fool” with a bunch of old hippies and that’s so dead on.

Russell being Russell = a narcissistic charlatan with boundary issues who is only impressive intellectually to the dumbest people you’ll ever meet
Well, it’s happening right now, to a worse and stupider degree, in US politics, with guess who.
Now playing
Just gonna leave this here:
What else could we expect from Bill's brother?
“Frankly, the house was asking for it. Being built where it was, being so visibly flammable, displaying that wood paneling for all to see."
Russell Brand sounds like a poseur that went to 3 sessions of a philosophy class in community college then proceeded to indulge in hard-core drugs for a decade and now thinks he’s “enlightened”. He’s an idiot.
could he be any more pugilistic?
Just Chandler being Chandler
As a lifelong British person, I agree with this wholeheartedly.
“Don’t mind Brian's repeated arsons, it’s just his way."
My brand is repeatedly punching Russel Brand in the face. Can’t do anything about it, it’s just part of my persona.
yeh, it really has only been about ...100 years or so that women have been regarded as actual human beings.
The difference is monetization. Producers probably wanted even more outrageous behavior from Brand, because the public was shocked by it and interested in it. Brand did things like have sex with a homeless person on a reality show IIRC. He and I think Jonathan Ross got fired from a radio show for harassing an older…
Russell Brand sounds like someone doing a bad impression of a British person.
Like, if you started talking like Russell Brand, people would go, “Yo, that’s offensive.”
‘I have always been vindicated’ sounds like Trump-speak
It’s going to take a while to disabuse men of their entitled behavior, especially when it come to their inappropriate behavior toward women. It’s been what? 200 millennia after all. I just wish it could translate to women’s experience in the real world.
Obviously, this is bad behavior. But the AV Club should do more to put it in context.
Weird how people think “that’s just (blank) being (blank)“ somehow makes their behavior less bad. The fact that this is normal for them makes it better, not worse? Reminds me of this line from Taxi: “You have to forgive Louie, he’s himself today.”
I now spend more time on Tubi that any other platform, stream or pay. The key reason? Their selection is all over the map.
