Hot Ones Superfan Brett Baker Reacts to Russell Brand's Musical Tribute

Brett Baker has long been known to Hot Ones fans for his "Power Rankings" on Twitter. Now, he's known to the Internet at large as the subject of Russell Brand's impromptu Hot Ones musical performance, delivered in the throes of Blair's Mega Death Sauce with Liquid Rage. Before the episode came out, we warned Brett to expect something special and film himself watching it for the first time. Here are the results.

The people have spoken. Get Brett Baker on Hot Ones or at the very least give him a job.

[@jctai100]

He's got a job, probably a better paying one too

[@Nathankinamorh]

Brett does local producing. I've been telling folks Sean should visit Brett for a NE food event involving Bull testicles and hot sauce.

[@baburao87]

Sean: He's this random TV producer from Lincoln, Nebraska who just loves Hot ones. Brett: *laughs* I'm not random, btw.😁

[@ZzgravityzZ]

That's a better idea than just having Brett on the show. Hot Ones hit's the road for the hottest testicles in Nebraska.

[@101wormwood]

I have the hottest testicles in nebraska

[@jasonphillips7535]

get brett on hot ones

[@tootone]

Jason Phillips this!!!! we need to do this!

[@joechill6639]

For real, not even in a 'wouldn't it be nice' kind of way either, I genuinely want to see how he'd handle the wings. My prediction is pretty well but make it happen Sean and WE'LL SEE.

[@Nathankinamorh]

I'm gonna keep posting this as it is relevant, as a Nebraskan. Sean should meet up with Brett for the NE Testicle Festival (nationwide unique food festival), that would make for much better entertainment. Also easier and more time to plan.

[@joechill6639]

My brother I'm sure there is a good name for it being called that but they should seriously rethink it.

[@CallsignJoNay]

+1,000,000

[@kcfamilam5109]

Obviously Russell Brand tops the list now: the hot sauces only made him stronger.

[@tommyraimondo4655]

KC Drummer He took out Action Bronson for the top spot. He got like God powers after eating each new one.

[@shaneomahony6022]

Tommy Raimondo it was honestly scary

[@edwardrangel6317]

KC Drummer you're forgetting about YG

[@nukert658]

check out tommy chong... that man killed it.. but yeah russell brand did amazingly well too

[@CandleAshes]

he barely actually ate any, just kind of licked them lol

[@Hemorapker]

Bring Brett on to eat wings!!!

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Yeah lets get Brett Baker on for a Ghost pepper! :D

[@hotsetbye]

Hemorapker Bret got my vote

[@axelmailman]

Do it!

[@jeffwilliams8464]

Hemorapker abso-fuckin-lutly

[@The-Underbaker]

Yes! I'd much rather watch him than Russell Bland!

[@chronotrigger8864]

"I'm not random by the way." Those feels tho

[@kodguerrero]

Lol we are all random

[@johncloois3301]

I just started reading the comments as they got to that part and of course yours is the first. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johncloois3301]

@@kodguerrero "Random" was my nickname that some friends gave me.

[@gustaveriksson113]

Completely random question, what is your favorite RPG for the Snes?

[@Alliancelegacy]

Ya, think we all felt that. Guess it's just a different perspective when you're "famous".

[@TheMixmastamike1000]

Bring him on the show!

[@IETCHX69]

He has earned it. R. B. was the bestest one IMO.

[@TheCGReviews]

u got your wish

[@nikkicarpenter4871]

Owwww, my heart! That was too adorable!

[@norgepalm7315]

Nikki Carpenter id break your heart

[@thatguy6183]

Nikki Carpenter I'd break that back

[@SpeakOut17]

tbh was that even necessary like damn calm down boys

[@thatguy6183]

Dhanyiiaaa she should take it as a compliment

[@solitaryfox69]

Ah yes, who can forget the indelible beckoning of the romantic heart, as the smitten youth serenades his beloved with the gentle "complimentary" murmur "I'd break that back".

[@ISayEssays]

Brett Baker: exists. Russel Brand: I'm gonna better this man's whole career.

[@Alliancelegacy]

Or call him a "Faker"... I dunno. Feel like disclosing peoples actual names on the show is probably something they had to cover up with money. Hopefully he got paid well. Knowing tv producers, he didn't get paid at all.

[@zachmercer2615]

Need a Brett Baker update interview...

[@centralscrutinizer5848]

when he calls him Brett Butler... 😂

[@joechill6639]

The fucking guy from Suede hahahaha

[@centralscrutinizer5848]

Tales From The Riverbank I think you're thinking of Bernard Butler. Brett Butler is the woman from Grace Under Fire... lol

[@rarecandy2437]

i thought i was the only one who caught that hahahaha

[@joechill6639]

I was thinking of Bernard Butler and Brett Anderson from Suede hahahaha oops

[@anwarabdullah6723]

I was thinking of the baseball player

[@jugglingdrummer]

The audio editing and music selection work during Russel's song was freaking amazing! Big respect to whoever did that work

[@ThatChrisMurphy]

It was original music composed for this episode by Dillon DeRosa, who has since composed synth tracks for the Justice League

[@Artofficial1986]

In that moment Russel Brand displayed more creativity, talent, charisma and overall awesomeness that I think I have ever done in all my life. He made up a song on the spot and sang it brilliantly, I love this guy.

[@thejointblog6936]

"I'm not random by the way" I knew he'd be offended by Sean's comment.

[@Levipaulsen]

Russell: "Is there a leader board?" Sean: "yeah I guy name Brett Baker makes 'em" Russell in his mind: (I WILL be on that leader board)

[@janetsnakehole9345]

This is lovely, I watched the episode before Brett and was hoping he would be moved. Humanity at it's best.

[@00000jaxx00000]

I'd love to see Brett watching Russel watching Brett Eating wings while watching the clip of himself watching Russel sing a song about him while eating hotwings!

[@GashPlague]

We've gone too deep!

[@getrealtv3625]

HOLOriginal I had to reread this 4 times to understand😂

[@assymcgee8773]

GETREAL TV id just like to say you can't have Brett watching Russell watching him watching the video because Brett can't be watching two things at once.. You could however have russel watching Brett eating chicken wings while watching the video of himself reacting to the video of him watching Russell sing while he's eating chicken wings

[@FredHarris]

Hot-ception

[@Nexus-6]

+HOLOriginal Wingception.

[@MrJambot]

The thing about this is that he has to go to the top of the list anyway just based on how well he handled the sauces, especially the final four. I couldn't believe how little he flinched!

[@ronindebeatrice]

little Nancy girl bites is how.

[@MrJambot]

nah, wrong son

[@introspectah]

Even girl bites have been sufficient to take down many a man. Russel clearly had something to prove. His masculinity, i venture (knowing his character).

[@mattmmilli8287]

MrJambot rly? Higher than gunplay for instance ?

[@MrJambot]

No sweat, hardly any inward breaths, he just slightly more surreal.

[@rosariosamuelD]

This is one of the most genuinely entertaining things I've seen in awhile lol. Brett's reaction is so priceless. Can we please get another video of Brett on here?! He deserves an episode of Hot Ones!

[@MrLordbungus]

I love this community, especially that a fan of the show has other fans wanting him on. good job everyone involved with first we feast! This is the new form of entertainment.

[@brettsbaker]

John Durn I've been blown away by the kindness & general spirit of everyone's reaction. It's incredibly uninternet-like.

[@justinreedflynn]

If Mr. Brett Baker has a channel you should post it up!

[@Nathankinamorh]

He produces local news. He fine. We like hotsauce in NE.

[@Nathankinamorh]

I stand corrected, got a link?

[@eleven61]

Im sure they asked him if he wanted a shout out. He has three videos on his youtube, calm down he ain't a youtuber. Whats the point in shouting him out if he isnt going to upload anything?

[@kajlik]

I got flue, today sucked. This video made my Saturday so much better. Thanks Hot Ones, thanks Brett Baker. What a legend. Get him on the show please.

[@brettsbaker]

Feel better soon! And thank you :)

[@kajlik]

Thank you for sharing the love Brett Baker, you big-hearted little list maker :)

[@sanriscribbles]

This made me so happy. Thank you russel for doing that and thank you brett for being an awesome dude. And Sean man, you rock!

[@dianefitzpatrick7774]

Hello Brett Baker in good'ol NE. Much courage and prayers to you from a Cornhusker in the TN. state. I hope you get a visit to THE FEAST!! I'm so proud!!

[@AbNormalFitness]

That had me smiling the whole time

[@JennRighter]

I shouldn't be surprised that Russell started out saying he was terrible with spicy food yet made it to the end with little obvious reaction. My favorite episode of Hot Ones by a landslide.

[@alieninstallation50]

Props to whoever is doing all of the music and audio effects!

[@jeremymdgt]

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A VIDEO OF RUSSELL REACTING TO BRETT'S REACTION BECAUSE THIS IS ADORABLE AND THEN BRETT REACTING TO RUSSELL REACTING

[@brandonmorton6883]

There needs to be a BRETT BAKER episode! Please do it!

[@Montsterr]

This was so dope and it speaks VOLUMES of everyone that make Hot Ones happen.

GET HIM ON THE SHOW PLEASE

Thank you! I was hoping to see his reaction video!!

[@stopstalkingmegoogl]

love this. connecting a fan with a guest like that is so fun and nice.

[@TisTheoCapable]

Brett needs to come on the show! Love this guy, has a warm demeanor

[@EliasReda]

Brett is such a kind and genuine dude, you can see it on his face. It's funny that I am saying because I have only know him for 2 minutes.

[@oscarnilsson4906]

So great to watch this. A lot of love to both Sean, Russel and Brett

[@jeffwhite7214]

"I'm not losing my mind." Proceeds to lose his mind.

[@BrettBaker]

Hmmmm... didn't realize I shared the same name as an internet star :)

[@brettsbaker]

I'm more comfortable with "internet novelty".... Tho there is another, more well known, Brett Baker that plays the trombone. So us Bretts Bakers are doin' alright.

[@Russ96]

Brett Baker And I'm a Russell, so lemme sing you a song ;)

[@jamiecal11]

how do I get in on this Brett Baker action, I need a piece of the pie too.

[@Stringz]

wow! im glad i got my brett baker time in early! spoke to him the day of, that was great celebrating that with him.. what a great song too!

[@onyxfeathers]

This was so sweet! I am so glad you guys reached out to him for this reaction, it was so pure. Brett Baker don't quit your power rankings!

[@DGame1234]

Now Brett got a reunion with Russell plus a new song. Amazing things do happen

[@KILLINGitSINCE]

But to be fair, even without this Russell handled the sauces like a champ and should def. be in the top 5.

[@TheStocktonSlab]

Bring Brett on the show ! He'll be our super fan stand in for the rest of us.

[@OhItsLynx]
