AIBU to think this is very funny (and well deserved?)

YADNBU

That's hilarious

DurhamDurham · 05/11/2014 20:53

The problem is when ever I read anything that Russell has had to say I hear it the voice of Phil Daniels now Grin

Trills · 05/11/2014 20:54

That video is really well done!

fairgame · 05/11/2014 20:56

YADNBU its the only good thing Russell Brand has ever featured in Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 05/11/2014 20:56

Love the video

Chandon · 05/11/2014 21:06

love the subtle put down of just saying "park life" after anything he says.

It is not rude as such, which makes it a better putdown.

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/11/2014 21:08

I hope this follows him around forever.

dementedma · 05/11/2014 21:14

He did write a truly brilliant article though on what it is like to be an addict. Having an alcoholic brother, he really did get it spot on as far as I am concerned.

NickAngel · 05/11/2014 21:16

Brilliant.

Snatchoo · 05/11/2014 21:17

I love this! And agree, the only thing worth watching with Brand in it.

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/11/2014 21:17

I think it's a shame he doesn't focus more on that area demented, because as you say he has written articles and done talks on it and it is something he could really help people with. Because of his past experience and success at getting clean/sober.

Unfortunately he seems to be determined to be some kind of revolutionary instead.

Comito · 05/11/2014 21:17

I thought it was fucking hilarious. I am now going to mentally append everything he says with 'parklife'.

TheRainDrops · 05/11/2014 21:25

Oh Alex James you handsome devil you....

Oh, er, great vid and that too! This is going to stick with him for a while I think.

KingJoffreysBloodshotEye · 05/11/2014 21:32

Mildly off topic but doesn't Phil Daniels have the most awesome voice??

Grin
championnibbler · 05/11/2014 21:39

I hope he never lives this down.

effinandjeffin · 05/11/2014 21:48

Yanbu. It's brilliant.

Wantsunshine · 05/11/2014 21:50

This is great

Minikievs · 05/11/2014 21:54

Russell Brand is a prize twat. I love this, hope it haunts him, the arrogant arse.

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 05/11/2014 21:54

I think Russel is brilliant. Why so much hate? [quickly dashes off before someone can tell me why I'm being so thick] Confused

NoArmaniNoPunani · 05/11/2014 21:56

I find it all a bit smug, middle class people making fun of a working class chap for using big words. I don't like Russell brand at all but I think this is cunty.

raltheraffe · 05/11/2014 22:03

I think its brilliant

ThursdayLast · 05/11/2014 22:07

I think Russell Brand is cunty enough to stand up to this Grin

I also think the subtlety of it is a lovely antidote to RBs hyperbole.

ThursdayLast · 05/11/2014 22:08

Although I didn't watch that vid sorry.
I'm talking about the people who retweeted RB with 'parklife' added Grin
I'm sure that vid isn't subtle at all

BlueBrightBlue · 05/11/2014 22:11

Cunty? is that a middle class expression?, never heard it before, but then I'm common and if I swore I'd be a chav right?

KneeQuestion · 05/11/2014 22:13

You're common and you've never heard cunty?

I agree, it is cunty.

I don't like everything RB has said, but I don't think he deserves the derision he gets.
