Russell Brand Brings the Laughs

The hilarious Russell Brand visited Ellen and had everyone laughing. He also shared some details about his past troubles, and what he's learned.

[@radaradaitsbob]

I could listen to this man speak all day.

[@Sekii1994]

I agree!! people often only refer to him as "Katy Perry's ex-husband", but he is so hilarious and intelligent! He even got his own show in England :)

[@SethDoesVlogs1]

Seki Deschanel in live in England and that is Russell howard :/

[@ty666ty]

SethDoesVlogs No Russell Brand did have his own show, in 2006 Russell Brand's Got Issues,, in 2007-09 Russell Brand's Ponderland and his most recent 2013 Brand X.

[@sdolo222]

You can! He has is own channel called 'Russell Brand' where he uploads daily 'trews' videos. Trews is a made up word, short for 'the true news'.

[@siy8230]

Yeah his Trews series is awesome. I don't get why some people don't like him!? I can only assume it's jealously at his higher than theirs intellect & his traditional good looks.

[@Kalernor]

When he talks it's like hearing someone read from a book. That vocabulary.

[@tia5757]

Kalernor so true

[@alisalauzon9291]

Yes, he is very unique,possibly a genius!! Lol...

[@paullevine2834]

completely

[@keithhinchcliffe5629]

That's the point; he reads, voraciously. He's not a genius, simply disciplined. If you read a book a week for a year, you too would have a very impressive vocabulary. It's not rocket science.

[@DamianSzajnowski]

@@keithhinchcliffe5629 Not necessarily but possibly.

[@ExtremeTG]

his vocabulary is just, wow

[@WeeeWriter]

There is something very spiritual and deep about him. I think he adds humor and laughter to perhaps make people feel more comfortable about him.....almost like releasing his wit slowly into the conversation without overwhelming and intimidating others. Hmm very intriguing indeed.

[@Consolous]

That's exactly what he does. Humor is the best way to create rapport and calmness. It's also for people to trust him better, as opposed to someone just preaching their beliefs upon you (we know who have done that)

[@michaelmyers492]

Typical american girl. You see a shallow celebrity and you think he's deep and spiritual

[@Kookie-zc3gt]

@@michaelmyers492 what qould you know, michael.

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

Michael Myers every famous person isn’t shallow. And judging off his recent work Russel is in fact very spiritual

[@allahm-ast3mnlywlatstbdlny164]

mashallah

[@laurameli001]

I love Russell Brand he's such a smart man. Some people may not pay attention to what he says because he's a funny man, but he really has an interesting smart point of view.

[@piedpiper1234]

So glad he's sober now :) he's such an intelligent guy you can easily tell

[@parjacpar3077]

+Nsha76 he is always sober when on tv

[@LyingSecret]

+jacky Parker They said 'now', you should see some of his TV work when he was still under the drugbrella, RE:Brand as a great example.

[@questionsexe3631]

I was thinking the same thing. :)

[@peach22hope18]

newnew Armyyyyy

[@jamilahchoudhury6175]

Hey fellow army 😊. Totally agree

[@fergj26]

He is like the real life capitan jack sparrow.

[@paxas03]

Omg you're right xD

[@paullevine2834]

LAST OF THE TIME LORDS!

[@lolag.9620]

YES HE IS!!

[@prestonmoore9996]

capitan

[@nurulkertistika]

On point

[@TheKiwiOfDoom]

Just hearing him talk is a hobby of mine. That man is so eloquent, so fluent...I wish I could talk that way.

[@KJBTRUTH]

Pen Guin you can. Just start practicing

[@username-yn5yo]

you should be glad to know he has a podcast :)

[@Evija3000]

He's so fluent in his speech, and I'm not talking about the accent. If I were in his place I probably couldn't utter one normal sentence =P

[@wintersongs1]

When he is serious, he speaks really well.

[@catchmeifyoucam]

Russell speaks so beautifully and he is absolutely hilarious! this made my day

[@jk1637]

The way he just stares at Ellen while shes talking is absolutely hilarious. Russell Brand is a legend in our generation.

[@shaya550]

i love how his one liners gets americans all riled up, he does it on purpose and i love it. he's intelligent and has selective comedy. i see you russell :P

[@misshitokiri]

I'm not sure about the Americans you know but most I know, including myself, love him.

[@misshitokiri]

Do you actually know a lot of Americans are you just talking about what's on the media?

[@BeachCrew100]

Shay A are you British?

[@jumbo7165]

@@misshitokiri well the world knows Americans ain't that bright... they score 25th in western world education out of 28 countries 4 years ago lol

[@tomh93MUFC]

Russel Brand is such a genuine guy. His tribute to Amy Winehouse was beautiful, and that quote at the end of the video, is so unbelievabely inspirational

[@marthat2892]

Russell Brand knows what he is talking about! Its the way he says things rather then what he says that triggers ones inner truth! Thank you Russell Brand!

[@Katya2801]

I love how eloquent he is! His language is soo beautiful!

[@CupOfTae_SugaKookies_Sprite]

I feel like Russell is the type of guy to randomly circle answers on a multiple choice test he didn't study for and still get an A+

[@muncangel5993]

so love Russel and his mission

[@barbaramullins4233]

Russel has come so far in his understanding of his own power to change his own world and thus the world around him. One of the few famous people who use their game for good.

[@guccilittlepiggy]

Brilliant and articulate

[@veganath]

We recently lost two wonderful compassionate VEGETARIAN COMEDIANS, in Joan Rivers & Robin Williams, it is wonderful that there are still wonderful compassionate VEGETARIAN COMEDIANS of the likes of Ellen DeGeneres & Russell Brand to nurture the light of Love, Love for life, ALL life

[@Ghost345621]

Sorry what do mean by vegetarian? Like literally or something else?

[@veganath]

It is label attributed to human people who don't eat non-human people, mostly out of a sense of intimate connectedness to life, ALL life.

[@TheMattymorgan]

who gives a fuck

[@veganath]

Mat James If u were a non-human on the receiving end of human indifference to your welfare, u would

[@Khanaseur]

Well if they died that really doesnt help your case then does it?

[@jAcKK1233234]

russel brand is so funny love this dude, he so smart and makes people feel good about themselves.."i was addicted to crack cocaine weed alcohol and leaning in a certain possision while looking out a window" lol

[@DreamerDebora1]

he's a freakin' genius~

[@SuperTroy18]

I love when his accent makes his “th” sounds turn to “f”s or “v”s. “Don’t Get too attached to material fings.”

[@TheSestren]

Best Russell Brand interview I ever saw, was his one with Jeremy Paxman... Paxman usually interviews serious political figures and grills them half to death, so to see him interview Russell and them have a genuine intellectual conversation was pure joy. Worth checking out.

[@Flowanda]

His choice of words are always so beautifully put...I would love to be around him all the time

[@legolaslover1238]

hes soo cute with his english accent

[@VictorAFP]

***** Realistically she doesn't actually know what Great Britain is. I wouldn't necessarily take it as a positive thing.

[@sourpatchtkids]

I just love this guy. This is who I want to meet. I've never really wanted to meet a famous person before but he is amazing.

[@Hercub]

My face....at the end...I WAS IN SHOCK!!!....he said that speech so well:)

[@wolfywox]

How can you not love this guy? "...Moving about. Sitting in this position..." Just hilarious. Not only that, he's very well spoken and speaks from the heart. That bit at the end was beautiful.

[@kira12n]

i just love how he talks. not only his accent but his vocabulary too

[@essey2131]

Russell Brand is my favorite person, ever.

[@Trysmiling]

God I love Ellen but I don't think she quite knows how to handle the Brand.

[@Aadibass]

+GiGi who does?

[@Trysmiling]

Aadibass I know. I think I would have to just sit back and watch.

[@Trysmiling]

***** LOL it does. I never thought of that. Sometime I say things like, "Don't mess with the Brand" or "You will get Branded". I'm just silly like that.

[@Trysmiling]

Sky Dalbah LOL.. I know.

[@apocapylsegaming4542]

conan can, I think haha

[@sentosaco]

Ellen wasn't ready for this man's genuine intellect grown from severe hardships.

[@aprilherr6340]

Russell has an excellent message! I appreciate this man being on the planet.

[@NH-tb2sm]

They need to bring him back for the final season.

[@Twirlyhead]

I think Russell's mind works so much quicker than speech that the part of this stream of conciousness that actually makes it out of his mouth is the edited version. Seriously.

[@teenytinychicky]

I could seriously listen to Russell Brand talk all day! I just want a cd of him talking about anything! haha

[@ANNA7171493]

I love him!!! Funny ,smart and sensible Guy ! What else you could ask for??!

[@donbrask]

He was addicted to drugs but moved on with his life, I am addicted to video games and stuck in my house for a while.

[@nikhilsukumar23]

Don Toronto it's easier. Is it possible to get a job that is related to video games. You could try building games or game apps.

[@jarasimonson4040]

Sorry I have to add a 😉💕

[@catchmeifyoucam]

i keep replaying his speech. is so well said. and i love how it kind of rhymes. love russell

[@kristinguynn4868]

I was not expecting him to be so profound, but he's absolutely fabulous!

[@aliens4everandever]

Damn! His speech at the end. Beautiful!

[@littlegirl-lc8lh]

Hi, Brand thank you for the great work! Take care. Hi Dege!!!!!!! 😎☺️🌼

[@emelkaragozlu]

the last sentence.. he is on point!

[@NatashaCobby]

I love Russell Brand, he's absolutely hilarious, and is actually a very smart guy, what he said was so true, and you can he lives by whta he says, even hough he his successful and wealthy, he's true to himself and doesn't care what people think about his self image :)

[@raffy_rodriguez]

Russel Brand is a man who conveys simple ideas with too many words.

[@musics4me]

His last point. Oh my, his little speech at the end there. That touched me.

[@kiwi007]

Extremely intelligent, I wonder what his IQ is..

[@RuLeZ1988]

+kiwigal1965 IQ doesnt matter, trust me. Because an IQ-Test doesnt measure the creativity and the meaningful mindset like Russel has.

[@Egoblivion]

+Jan Dmitri I believe that wit, being about speed of information retrieval, plays a larger role in any timed test, and most IQ tests are timed.

[@Egoblivion]

+Daniel F Modern theories are pointing toward at least 8 different intelligences. I think there are more. Check out Howard Gardner's work.

[@danielvandam]

At least 140

[@Egoblivion]

+Daniel F Oh, most certainly exceptionally difficult. Howard Gardner's work is new and offers a broader approach to "measuring" intelligence.

[@smokeywilly4364]

Very intellectual and attentive Russell. You pay attention to everything people are saying and pick apart each sentence like you’re doing intricate surgery. Carefully dancing around each word. Your ability to control and manipulate a conversation is like vocal art. Keep up the strong willpower you silver tongued devil.

[@1fantasticartisticgirl390]

Absolutely love him I could listen to him all day .😍

[@LazyTelevison]

Ellen even had to give an ovation to his beautifully articulate synopsis.

[@mucholuv2u]

He is such an eloquent speaker! I could listen to him forever..

[@TheMaxinfiniti]

HIL-ARIOUS, and a genius. He is a modern day George Carlin. Respect

[@gusalthorp6138]

no but like for real, nobody really understands how much i lovelovelovelovelove this bloke

[@yasameenmohammed4366]

He is probly the funniest person ever!!

[@moonlessnight14]

People really underestimate just how intelligent he truly is. I think he internalizes a lot of it, but he's extremely perceptive if you watch his specials and other interviews.

[@SwiftnLevineforlife]

he says "hello, im feeling very well today. im very honoured to be here in this chair." and im cracking up XD

[@KistCa]

what he said at the end of the interview is sooooo truth.. i really admire him for that!

[@kodatastical]

He reminds me so much of my cousin. Of course, they are both awesome.

[@MsAcapellaCovers]

Wow! He is very educated, eloquent and has a remarkable vocabulary!

[@dawnjones82]

I love Russel, so intelligent and funny in such a unique way. Would love to meet him!

[@tessa7793]

He is so right ! Respect for getting sober Russell and keep intruiging us with your eloquent speaches

There is nobody on this Earth that can put words together like Russell can - He's got a way with them that is so unique :D

[@OrganizedChaos246]

He has made such a remarkable comeback. I love him!

[@pleiadian13]

Entertaining and free of toxins. Excellent work Russell Brand. Plus it's true, beauty from within, find that and find happiness:)

[@DamianSzajnowski]

So true, the closing thought. Fun thing is, once you internalise this, getting power (fame, money, influence in general) helps you grow and pass more good.

[@sofietje881]

They really get along! I adore both of them!

[@sjadee]

I'm very honored to be here in this chair .... Oh really.... Yeah i really like it

[@ferelise467]

He is a bright young man. I wish him the best of luck.

I love that he always looks so serious and is really honest :D

[@fieryredruby]

I love Russell! He and Katy are my favorite couple! They are both wonderful people!

[@StephaniePhan8]

I wish I was articulate as he is, then I could write some amazing essays. Anyway, Russell is pretty much a legend in my eyes

[@shanebalano7136]

I can’t believe he voiced E.B! :o what an amazing voice! I really love English Accent!

[@vivtzka]

the way he talks makes everything he says hailrious!

I absolutely love the way he says "I couldn't stop meself!" :)

He looks so much better with his gray hairs coming out

[@maartjetravelsaround]

i love that russel always mentions the interviewer names :) ellen, jimmy, david

the messege that russel spreads is beautiful :)

[@joancarlson1884]

Ultimately, everybody has a beauty within themselves, if you find this and accept this, then you will be happy regardless of external attributes on material things - Russel Brand

so proud he is from my country :)

[@rosiesamra1014]

3:15- 3:47 someone needs to make this a famous quote.

[@PawPrintBx]

Already was a fan and now I am a respectful fan :)

[@alyshalee6313]

He's is simply just a wonderful person. :)

[@topgurl9313]

I swear a lot of the English accents allow you to say absolutely anything and still sound cute or classy. It works with Russell

[@Hallirocker]

I love how articulate he is. Id just get him to say things to me all day...

[@beardedcamelnuts]

After all the jokes and laughs, he is extremely well spoken. Mind=blown.
