He was the most pompous person on the show!

He was annoying, but came across great when he slated them all for being pompous tossers about his book. Did well there.
Not really, they had a good point, people work hard on important stuff that can educate and benefit us all but instead we seam to celebrate faux whacky twats like Brand. He was fucking appalling as ever.

I honestly see nothing to like about him since he first appeared on telly!

FOr anyone who hasn't used it, iPlayer is pretty cool and really good quality. Far better than youTube for bbc stuff.

I've never been able to stand Russell Brand, but I found myself warming to him after this, albeit somewhat reluctantly. It might be because when I'm pissed up on booze at house parties (ie not sound system parties iyswim), after I've drunk myself into "the zone", I start prattling on in a rather similar way. Oh dear. I'm not as camp though. And my hair's better. 
As for HIGFNY in general, I thought everybody on it last night was really funny - noticed Hislop's LOL too!

Yeah me too. I just watched that 8 minute clip on youtube and hmmm gotta say, even as an admirer, the toilet 'gag' had not even a vestige of funniness about it. Should've been first out on edit.madzone said:What can I say?
I like his word play, the speed of his thoughts, the seeming randomness.......

It wasn't a gag, it was an attention seeking diva behaving like a child.

I just think he was on the wrong show. Mind you, I thought that about all the Big Brother spin offs he did, too.
And I hated his Russell Brand Show, or whatever it was called.
I just don't like Russell Brand. He is not clever and he is not funny, and he certainliy wasn't either clever or funny on HIGNFY!
IMHO, of course

You are not wrong... perhaps with a different host and a different other guest it might have worked, but when the other people on the show were Brooker, Dee, Merton and Hislop he was always going to be painfully, amusingly and gloriously exposed as the twat some of us have always thought he was.
