I have nothing against Russell Brand. In fact, the dude often makes me laugh, and he’s very brilliantly mastered the art of the internet, Twittering constantly (and much more intelligently than most celebrities) and putting up regular videos of himself being mundanely obnoxious on his website. No, it’s Russell’s crazy adoring female fans that I don’t really get, like the ones who went NUTS when Russell put up a video of himself getting a haircut and showing just the hem of his new knickers. It’s clear that Russell is definitely making fun of them, but they fall for it anyway.
Dear Russell Brand’s female fans: keep up the adoring (and scary-identical) sycophantic comments, but just know that Russell is laughing at you. (Also, those poor other people! It must be almost like having to eat your lunch at a table with Robin Williams.)

why Russell, why!!!!?? just kidding.
I have a friend who says she totally wants to have sex with this guy. Whatever, have fun getting crabs.
Thanks a lot for the false hopes! I thought he was getting an actual haircut, instead of just the ends.
Some part of me hoped it’d be the end of his “if I wasn’t a celebrity, this haircut might be mistaken for mental illness” joke.
Yes, it’s funny. I laughed at it the first time he said it. All those other times after that, not so much.
“Twittering intelligently” LOL
I remember reading something recently where he said some things that amounted to social commentary that I thought were really spot on and funny and I felt I had to change my opinion of him. Then I realized it was Bertrand Russell. (I’m not trying to be cooler-than-thou, this really happened!)

You should get to 3rd period. The bell’s about to ring.
GOOD COMMENT. VERY CRITICAL.
Da Cake Eatur? Is that you?
The comments section has become such a wierd mobius strip of irony I can’t keep up anymore.
Probably because I’m a 57 year old man.

Hayley was pointing out that people who know a lot about Russell realise he is an attention seeking little kid. Russell admits this and does it regardless of whether people are watching/recording… in this case i do not believe Russell was laughing at his fans. although i’m sure he is aware of his power; that he can pretty much do anything and people will look at it and comment.
i’m actually scared to post this, people can be so harsh on these forums.
I’m going to assume that you’re being ironic, in which case, spot on.
Hense.
It’d be like Robin Williams with a camera. Did you see the one where Russell woke up some guy by hugging him? The poor bloke’s still half-asleep and has to deal with a fully-awake Russell, a few others, and a camera recording his reaction. I suppose they’re all used to it by now, but I still feel sorry for the guy.
I’m willing to bet the response to that video was something along the lines of a uniform, “I’d like to have you wake me up in bed!” Hence the showing of knickers. It’s more the garnering of attention than laughing at them. He’s also sending himself up, as usual.
Seriously, though, the man probably has all kinds of microscopic nasties living beneath those undergarments. It’s not the most arousing prospect.

haha i just wrote a reply to your comment on the conan backdrop entry, thinking that you were just an idiot. but given that you posted the exact same comment twice, i have to conclude that you are just hilarious.
i thought it then, you said it right there. awesome
Truth: Given.Thanks Julie.
But who’s more “pathetic-” the blogger or the person whose Google alerts force them to comment on said blogs? Mindamite.
Oh oh Lindsay! You appear to have ignited a fire at Russell Brand Fans HQ. . . .
no kidding! “To the haters, if you’ve ever seen him with his fans, AND LOOKED INTO HIS EYES WHEN HE SPEAKS TO YOU, you’d know he loves his fans.” just your average ordinary fan who happened to notice this blog post after their 15th google search today for Russell Brand. eesh.
We’ve been infiltrated by Russell Brand stans! I hope this ends up like when there’s a negative post anywhere about Clay Aiken and the Claymates just don’t quit.
What is going on up in this place?
Thing is, Russell Brand would fuck every last one of those pathetic creeper commenters. EVERY. LAST. ONE.
…which makes me ashamed to say that he could totally get it. If his hair was un-teased.
haha.. this is better than the twilight-o-caust that gabe wrought!
go russell groupies! go!! (just please go)
I am super surprised I assumed that stereogum viewers would enjoy Mr. Brand’s humorous stylings.
