Okay...I know this is a bit random to say the least.......But am I just getting old, or is Russell Brand one of the most unfunny people on TV???
Think the same about Harry Hill by the way.

I don't care if it is an age thing....but I'd like to know if it's that, or he truly is unfunny as I think.

He is a prat - and he has managed to get a slot on BBC Radio 2 -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/about/pressrelease_russellbrand.shtml

So now you can add "Unfunniest People On The Radio"....

I wonder how long it will be before he refers to certain parts of his anatomy as he was always doing during the Big Brother show - he is completely unfunny (up there with Chris Evans). Oh sorry, someone finds him 'funny' -

Russell was also crowned Funniest Man at the Loaded Laftas Comedy Awards.
Hmmm, guess that Loaded is on par with the Daily Sport.....

Russell Brand is a funny guy.The King of the Dinkle.One o' the rising stars of stand up.He makes me laugh,cos like oor Billy he can take any topic and turn it into a humerous pun.Humour is a hard thing to do,tell a joke and ye will have two answers.Hysterics or no hysterics.

My mother told me my first dirty joke it was a classic!!!!:lol: :lol:

Russell Brand - never heard of him. If he is like the Billy I assume you are referring to then he can stay anonymous to me!

Russell Brand is the guy who presents Big Brothers Big Mouth.A young comedian in his newbie days.Makes me laugh everytime.The Billy I spoke of is Sir Billy of Connolly....the funniest man on earth,in my opinion.They both have one thing in common,although they are from different generations,they make me laugh.:lol: :lol:

russell brand is like billy connelly?? never

billy, although he tells somewhat blue jokes, is an intelligent and funny comedian. russell is just cheap and vulgar and far to impressed with his own hype.

i didnt say billy wasnt vulgar. i know he tells dirty jokes, i was saying that billy is a funny man with intelligence.
russell, on the other hand, only thinks he is funny. he relies on his cheap potty mouth. none of his jokes are funny, he merely throws in the odd comment about parts of his anatomy and gets cheap laughs.

Cedric, I'm with you on this one, Billy and Russell are both very funny men in their own ways.

Russell has done a cracking job on Big Mouth the last couple of years, his audience interactions are hilarious, he's very quickwitted. Unfortunately, IMO it's his tabloid exploits that let him down, got sick of reading about his mischief over the Edinburgh Festival. :roll:

Yer right his tabloid exploits has let him doon.But then his days of comedy are now when all celebrities lives are under the magnifying glass o' the media.Billy was lucky in the young days o' his career when he was judged on what he did on stage.

Bet ye today his exploits would have put the Dinkles stories to shame.:lol:

I will bet you £100 that in twenty years time hardly anyone on the planet will know who Russell Brand is.

Russell Hobbs is funnier.

Russel brand doesnt matter in my eyes, I think he is as funny as a dose of Syphyllus(spelling).

I never liked him, in those multicoloured jumpers on GMTV, his horoscopes never seemed to ring true to me....

Russell Brand, Caroline Tate - both just as bad. I cannot stand people whho use the foul-language shock tactic to try to raise humour. People laugh more out of embarrassment than in humour. I was watching Open All Hours the other night - now that sort of stuff is classic humour - subtle, funny.. and harmless.

You leave Catherine Tate alone! Her characters are based on acute observation of modern society and are hilarious! Everyone knows a 'am I bovvered tho?' teenager! :lol: She's far funnier than Russell 'one-joke' Brand.

Maybe Caroline Tate is less funny than Catherine?

Hard to imagine though, her style leaves me cold. Perhaps the observation is acute but it's not acutely funny to me. French and Saunders were another act that did nothing for me, I think they thought latterly that if they were cruder they could be as funny as male comedians. I personally feel that comedy is one of those things that men do better.

I have no idea who Mr BRand is. I laught at Catherine Tate but often reproach myself for doing so. The 'language/interpreter sketch last week was so very funny - I almost fell off my chair.
