[VIDEO] Russell Brand MSNBC interview on Morning Joe
Don’t mess with Russell Brand.
During an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the crew constantly belittled the British funnyman until he’d had enough. Then he decided to strike back. What ensued was a hilarious, entertaining backlash from Brand who proved he is a force to be reckoned with.
The interview immediately started off on the wrong foot.
“Alright, joining us now, he’s a really big deal. I’m told this. I’m not very ‘pop culture,’ I’m sorry.”
Russell gives her the stink eye. A glaring, laser beam, stink eye. You can’t blame him, what a horrible introduction. And the WAY she said it…
The interview then lightens up for a bit with Russell being classic Russell, and the crew of Morning Joe isn’t quite sure how to handle him. The downward spiral begins around 4:45 when the male of the group, Brian, tells Russell he can’t understand his jokes, at all, while listening to his stand up routine in his car on satellite radio. Russell responds that maybe he should focus on his driving and perhaps it’s “for the better.”
The blonde (who has hair like Princess Diana) chimes in. “This is my first Brand experience….I think it’s not listening to him, but it’s sort of just taking it all in.”
“You are talking about me as if I’m not here, and as if I’m an extra-terrestrial. You know I’m from a country that’s near to you,” Russell chimes in.
The blonde looks mortified. “Any more questions? I’m a little nervous,” she says.
It’s gets uncomfortable quickly and blondie scoots her chair away from Brand as the others try and do damage control. But the British female, the ginger, makes things worse. “Would you do therapy with Willie Brand?” She asks the blonde. “Because that’s where he’s heading.”
Russell blasts back, ”You shouldn’t say “HE” when a person is present,” Russell continues. Refer to the person by their name. That’s basic good manners.”
So the ginger repeats, “That is where ‘Willie’ is heading.”
“WHO is Willie?” Russell asks. It’s clear the ginger is calling him Willie, but who knows why. Ginger laughs, and Brian looks defeated.
Russell then takes over. He spits out everything he is promoting and where you can find him on the web, then he tops it off with some lovely snark before making fun of Blondie gripping her water bottle like a “shaft.”
“These people I’m sure are very typically good at their jobs…you’re conveying news to the people of America. People of America, we’re going to be okay, everything’s alright. These are your trusted anchors.”
