Best of Noel Fielding & Russell Brand

Clips from Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2006 only..

[@nawal8821]

russel speaking in a dramatic shakespearean way to try to talk his way out of everything is hilarious XD

[@itschrispretorius]

i too have indeed taken on the same shakespearean dialect in everyday life as a 26 yr old millennial lol. it has a very desirable effect.

[@itschrispretorius]

@caring-is-creepy LOL. not elevated enough

They did perform a sketch at a fundraiser for children's cancer for the Goth Detectives

[@huggablecharliepie]

They are goths. Too depressed to get out of their coffins to start writing

[@Shrasha]

I would generally watch that...

Because they’re goths they are working on it but they’re only on the first scene. Taking a sec

They’re very smart, I’d argue rob brydon was the most intelligent tho

[@WolfiKurisu]

I love how Noel, one of the weirdest comedians on TV, can't keep a straight face near Russell.

[@davidfish3067]

fancies him, obviously.

[@nickgonzalezbrown2503]

Noel Fielding never has a straight face..

[@daskillz69]

***** Was that a gay joke?

[@nickgonzalezbrown2503]

No, just a 'Noel Fielding always looks like he's giggling' joke. :)

[@kendrikMN]

Russell has such a large vocabulary it's beautiful

[@GeneralLeiaOrgana]

It's beyond gorgeous

[@ScottZ370]

I would say its rather prepossessing

[@Supemonk3y]

that dosen't make sense, but because i had too look it up i would have assumed you were right

[@djdutch2790]

What was the Nostradamus reference he made tho? I dont get it :/

[@billyemorris]

DjDutch nostradamus made prophesies. russell claimed that he and noel ("like nostradamus before us") were seeing into the future

[@TheSteelStallion]

That panicked "What should we do!?" from Russell Brand lol

[@eliz7212]

Nothing we have in the USA can touch these shows. Brilliant

[@thatcher00]

Yeah British comedy tends to be the best

[@seangerald2898]

You obviously haven't heard of George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Richard Pryor. Just like the Revolution, I'd say we won this war too.

[@thatcher00]

Clearly you haven't heard of tommy cooper, jimmy carr,russel howard, frankie boyle and basically every other british comedian

[@seangerald2898]

Oh I have. I just know that just like the U.K. as a whole they're relegated to second class citizens on the world stage.

[@Z3noparadox]

You've got a pretty huge chip on your shoulder. There are some good US comedians, like Louis CK. And I agree with George Carlin. But imo, in general, American comics are weak. Look at Daniel Tosh, Dane Cook, Kevin Hart, Jeff Dunham, Tracy Morgan, Carrot Top. Compare that with Jim Jefferies, Tim Minchin, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese to name a few

[@idkahandle]

+Jonathan Reite (Jonrei) It was British occupation in the carribean, I think.

[@jackknights345]
