Be Excellent To Each Other

I'd prefer a stoning in Brand's case.

Tomorrow, the news of the World!

Ooh! They've been suspended!

On full pay?

From a bridge by their necks?! AWESOME!

Above a pit of writhing, slavering, Sunday Mail readers. And Tory politicians.

No, putting on a holier than thou act when someone reveals they slept with you when you make your living under the name "Satanic Sluts" certainly does.

This is fucking pathetic.

The twitching of their writhing corpses as an ice pick is driven through their eye sockets? I agree!

More satanic sluts pls.

I hope they're just suspended until the Daily Mail gets back to masturbating over Diana and Maddie's rotting corpses. They're not everyone's cup of tea, I'll admit, but television needs controversial broadcasters like these two otherwise it'd be fucking dull.

I don't like Brand at all btw.

I wonder if we could get 10,000 people to complain about the suspension and really get everyone all confused.

I hope Ross doesn't get fired. I can easily live without his fawn-o-thon chat show, and I don't listen to his radio stuff, but I rather like his stuff on Film.

Bring back James Whale. At least he had Charlie Chuck.

Good point Grainy, I do enjoy film 2020020200202202020202001002029 when I see it. Ross redeemed.

I know his chat show can be a bit fawny sometimes, but it's television fluff and I quite enjoy it. Sometimes he can ask some questions really close to the bone in a cheeky way, which I can relate to...

Hmm, I thought her point was that it was a very disrespectful way to act to a 78 year old, and.. ""It was bad enough that they recorded these things on my grandfather's answer machine but astonishing the BBC saw fit to broadcast it when they could have stopped it."

TBH, I agree with that, and I don't see how it's invalidated by what she does for a living at all - that argument sounds more like tabloid muck-flinging than anything else I've heard.

The suspension's a good start, and hopefully sackings will follow.



I'd pay to see that! For once Brand would have made me laugh.

But whenever he's on anything, he just bellows to make himself the centre of attention. He did it on the excremental They Think It's All Over, in fact any panel show he's on. His chat show just reeks about HIM rather than his guests. He's the anti-Parky.

I agree with Kalmars post there

As is right and proper, my sympathies lie with the stripper.

There also appears to be astonishingly little publicity that they checked with Sachs whether they could broadcast it too.

But if they sack Wossy, how's he going to afford to carry on buying stupid brightly coloured suits and zany flying goggles, the twat?

Probably his (external interests in property, and a share portfolia - legal Ed).

You've not seen her, have you?

No. But the poor dear slept with that Brand thing. Brrr.

I read that he had requested them not to play it. What's your source say?

Of course, she's not taking advantage of the publicity from this incident at all.

Andrew Sachs said it was a bad line and he couldn't hear the producer properly. Deaf old bastard.

Good job the Daily Mail doesn't hate Mock the Week or love that Kerry Katona person. Frankie Boyle would have been lynched months back.

Ah Frankie.. do you remember me, Frankie? And so forth. I think the difference is Mr Boyle doesn't come over as a smug overbearing cunt, unlike Brand. Also being funny too.

And thus he should have said so.

The producer took advantage of a deaf old man, to get consent for him being humiliated on national radio?

That's OK then.

Err, are we talking about the same Frankie Boyle?

That's comedy, that is.

It's quite an assumption to say they took advantage. If the producer said "Can we use the recording of that answerphone message", and Sachs (mishearing) said "Oh yes, that's absolutely fine", who's taking advantage exactly?

Yes.

I know some people may say it shows a lack of perspective to wish death on a celebrity such as Brand, simply for the "crime" of trying to entertain people with his "comedy", and that there are much worse people than him in the world what with the murders and all that. But no, Brand should die.

But Frankie Boyle isn't funny either.

Russell Howard knocks him into a cocked hat.

Obviously you have a serious Brain Wrong there. I suggest going to a Mighty Boosh concert. /ad hominem

Oh bollocks, if he can't be bothered to say "I can't hear it, send me a tape" (assuming he's emailless) then he can fuck right off.

my gf thinks Brand is hot, and you cant argue with her taste

Man, that's got to be depressing.

I haven't tasted her. Yet

really? as an absolutely 100% heterossexual male i accept that he's not bad looking. But i've only seen him on "forgetting sarah marshall" and one episode of conan o'brien.

cock off, fagballs

Of course, no Daily Mail readers would ever have complained about Sach's portrayal of a Spanish waiter as a blithering nincompoop...

I hope Brand gets the Sach for this.

Groan!!!

They should send John Cleese around to biff the pair of them around the ears very hard.

Indeed.

Although practically everything Howard says on Mock the Week is cut and pasted from his stand-up. By comparison, we saw Ed Byrne a couple of weeks back, and of a 1hr 40min set, about two mins was heard on MTW.
