He's funny. To be honest, having seen him on Jezebel, I wasn't quite sure what he actually did (other than, you know, the screwing.). I've been watching his clips for a bit now and laughing.

I always saw pictures of him on gossip blogs, and figured he was probably really weird and not the kind of comic I'd enjoy. Then I saw him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and realized I was wrong. The whole special that story comes from is hysterical.

I haven't seen this clip before. It's funny. I too love Russel Brand. He is very appealing to me for some reason. The accent doesn't hurt either. I was just talking about him and the Forgetting movie on Metachat not too long ago. Besides the hip gyrating and womanizing, I loved his easy-going, nice guy personality.

I can't stand him. Unfortunately he comes from Essex.

He's not very popular in England. I read his Wiki not too long ago and it seems that he has been fired more than once for being over-the-top offensive.

I laughed when asked about his firing of his MTV show (dressed up as Osama Bin Laden shortly after 9-11) and he said something very nonchalant about being on crack (really) at the time. The way he said it was incredibly funny. I listened to a radio interview with him and he had all kinds of fabulous comebacks. I can't remember them at the moment, of course.

I have a reluctant affection for him too, because of Sarah Marshall.

I saw him being interviewed on MTV (Canada) yesterday via Skype from his bathtub... when a red-toenailed, obviously-female foot accidentally came into view from the other end of the tub, he insisted it was his own. Cheeky fucker.

this guy's genius. Never seen him before, only heard about him. Thanks for the post. (I've watched something like a dozen of his performances from this...)

my vote: charming, interesting and off-the-cuff. i likes it, me.
