Russell Brand shouldn't be allowed near a telephone.

The comedian, turned actor

Huh? Since when has he been even remotely funny? And certainly can't act. Forgetting Russel Brand more like.

Not even sure why R2 put him on, I guess to encourage people to go out on a Sat night?

A 30-odd year old guy making leaving obscene and offensive remarks on an answering machine, about the person's granddaughter, should be a matter for the Police. The person in question is a 78 year old man and I imagine he or anyone else would be genuinely shocked and disturbed by such an irresponsible and stupid prank.

He started out as stand up comedian i think.

I think he's a very intelligent guy somewhere inside, he's just got a lot of issues that make him who he is i guess, and his way of getting through life is pretty controversial.

I did write out a nice little and grown up paragraph/semi review on his radio show a minute or two ago but Trio leaped on my mouse and somehow deleted it all.

So.

In summary of what I did say:

It's all about him, his willy and how amazing he is. It'ss a complete egotistical jargin like mess. All in all, it's as smelly as a big doggies doo doo.

See I find him quite funny :/

I think he's gone too far with the phonecalls but he does make me laugh.

I've only ever seen him do some documentary on the BNP and that was quite amusing plus he was on Jonathon Ross some time ago and he didn't seem too bad then. The hoax phone calls are a bit desperate TBH though and the fact that he's done it before means he should be held accountable this time IMO.

I think he can be hilarious - just sometimes his ego and jibberish/tenuous links and ramblings are a bit WTF.

His phonecalls are way too far. There's pushing the boundaries and well... just taking a huge leap over the line.

I can appreciate he has a lot to be proud of and certainly has every right to talk about it - but not when interviewing people on his radio show and then constantly yabbering on about how many birds he's knocked up and didn't even know there names!??!

Whether it's improved or not I don't know but it was like car crash TV.... but in the respect that it I genuinely made me want to crash my car whilst listening to it.

If that's true and he thinks that's in the least bit acceptable he's an idiot and I will never watch anything with him in again.

He is, always has been and always will be a wholly unfunny pillock and how he ever got his stupid ugly face anywhere near a TV camera is beyond me. If he just vanished off the face of the earth entirely and was never spoken of or heard from again, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I just read a very long interview with him and a couple of things jumped out..

MTV finally sacked him when he turned up the day after 11 September dressed as Osama Bin Laden.

Around the same time Brand lost his Xfm job for, among other things, reading out pornographic Sunday Sport letters on air.

I'm with divine.
