And ask ourselves what that says about us and our unconscious, that we persecute the truly innocent, chosen ones.

Forgive me father, for I know not what I do.🙏🙏🙏

Is anyone else getting Charles Manson Vibes off him?

Yes, yes, yes. I was just going to post the same.

He's frighteningly intelligent...which is what makes him incredibly dangerous.

Hahahaha hahahaha...

Parody is fun.

He's an arsehole. Followed by other arseholes. End of.

Arsehole is a very easy name to call someone and I don’t deny his is one.

What I’ve done in this example is to pinpoint RB’s usage of words, which he thinks is clever. Doesn’t fool anyone.

Yes, there are lots of other RB-alikes and there always will be, it’ll be like whackamole trying to stop them all popping up.

MagentaRocks · 20/09/2023 20:59

Is that anew TikTok he has posted?

SabrinaThwaite · 20/09/2023 20:59

It’s all very well using big words but it’s always best to know how to pronounce them.

Although “seismic” isn’t that unusual.

TheaBrandt · 20/09/2023 21:00

He is a thick persons idea of an intelligent person

A verbose twat, sure. Frighteningly intelligent? Nah.

I remember all of that shite trying to be clever language he used back in the day - never impressed me. Arse of the highest order.

He's still doing it now. He used "Baroque" and "metastasized" in his brief defence of the allegations. Dick head.

I'm not convinced. He might know a lot of big words but I doubt he knows what they mean as he's pronouncing some of them in a fairly creative way.

It's seize-mick I tell ya.

ToWhitToWhoo · 20/09/2023 21:02

Errr, what are you on?

LikeARainstorm · 20/09/2023 21:03

The actual Brand defenders sound so loopy, I can see why people think the OP is genuine. That video is very weird, the way his teeth are clenched throughout - he just looks unhinged and sounds ridiculous.

QueenOfTheHighCs · 20/09/2023 21:03

Not intelligent enough to pronounce "seismic" correctly....

Funking twat

Stoic123 · 20/09/2023 21:04

Can anyone explain what he meant by this: "Most of my life has been an extension of the grandiose idea of what glamour would look like if it had to have a kitchen" (Russell Brand, Guardian)?

Wondering if I'm missing something.

Epochal was interesting too.

The slightly worrying thing about people like him (and I know of one person who’s very unpleasant) is that though they’re generally very unpleasant with lots of hot air, and don’t carry out their threats, sometimes they do.

I don’t think RB is quite in this category but someone I know who’s similar to him (and a lot older), I’m not quite sure what he’s capable of.

He could keep pseuds corner going forever.

FedUpOfItA · 20/09/2023 21:08

I've come across a few ex-drug addicts that talk like this. I do think in long term users brain chemistry is permanently altered and they just become idiots even if they were once smart.

itsmyp4rty · 20/09/2023 21:09

Oh bless him, it's amazing how he can say so little with so many words.
I've got a prayer for him.

A Narcissist's Prayer: That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did... You deserved it.

Hullabalooza · 20/09/2023 21:09

Grotesque excuse for a man. Always thought so. Send him to a desert island with Kanye West. Let them fight it out over who has the bigger ego. Perhaps Trump and Johnson will drop by. And then a tsunami will strike…

LetMeEnfoldYou · 20/09/2023 21:11

Totally @GonnaGetGoingReturns I've worked for someone who is a bit like this, and he's the worst cunt I've had the misfortune to deal with. Men who are constantly on transmit are incapable of listening to others and understanding that they have feelings and interior lives of their own.

Absolute and total narcissism.

QuickDraining · 20/09/2023 21:12

I think he's saying sometimes we don't know what we are doing. And we are continually reborn. Ergo, he is a different Russell Brand, might not have been in the room at the time. I quite enjoyed that piece.

bringbacksideburns · 20/09/2023 21:13

Why use one word when 15 slightly connected ones will do?

I’m gobsmacked by the apologists ( mostly women), this scary sermon and the fact he’s worth something like £50 million.

And isn’t his wife currently heavily pregnant? Poor woman. 😟

YouJustDoYou · 20/09/2023 21:15

He always came across as very "sticky" looking/creepy/gross to me. Never knew what anyone saw in him.

BigGlenda · 20/09/2023 21:16

He is strange and creepy. I feel uneasy just looking at him.

Much like your excessive use of capitals.
