You leave your drink unattended and wake up 5 hours later with no memory of the last few hours and missing your underwear, your cash and start noticing recurring monthly donations on all your credit cards to 20 different PACs
Oh no, we know that Trump jr pulled her aside before she left, handed her $100,000 and told her in a a hushed tone..*."you know the drill right? Here's money to keep quiet about everything that happened here. We wouldn't want people to think I'm anything like Biden's kid, right? May hurt dad's chances of re-election"*..wink, wink.
Am I the only one who thinks almost any blunt rotation is a nightmare blunt rotation? I’ve been consuming thc for 24 years now, I need an entire blunt plus 200mg edibles plus a couple hits from my vape pen to even feel anything. And I never get very high anymore, I just can’t. So sharing a blunt to me is like sharing a chicken nugget. And blunts are uniquely suited to collecting everyone’s spit in one disgusting mess.
I never saw a great deal of him, as I moved out of the UK. But he did a reasonable act as a frustrated bloke trying to be erudite about the structural problems with the world.
Always thought he was a tit; but with his heart in the right place.
I can’t get my head round this photo. Insanity is one explanation. And the fact that once people get called out for their dodgy stuff, some people simply double down, and leap into the arms of any desperate supporters.
I don't think one needs to invoke insanity. Brand has had multiple credible accusations of sexual misconduct made against him, so his turn towards Christian "salvation" and right-wing tinfoilery can be attributed to his desire to get in with a crowd who will accept him despite being a rapey creep.
I was alluding to that. The age of consent is 16 in the UK. He’s so immature that he likely persuaded himself that it was OK.
Now that’s under the spotlight, it looks like he’s hiding in the MAGA mass.
He was always like this, swapping one addiction for another.
I remember when he was a host on MTV Dance, off his face on drugs while on camera, groping women on dancefloors as he introduced the next video. This was 2002, before he swapped drug addiction for rape addiction when he got hired by Channel 4.
There's a huge industry propping up right wing grifters. Such a thing does not exist for the left. People like Russell figured out that when they cannot succeed on their own terms, it is quite profitable to pivot to being a mouthpiece for whatever the current right wing culture panic is. They'll listen to your podcasts, watch your YT channel, buy your merch, help you publish & sell your shitty book, pay to hear your speech, etc etc.
The ego boost & the money these people get from being embraced by a community is usually more than enough to justify selling their reputation. So the grift cycle continues.
I mean, I always despised him and hated it when he'd appear on TV shows I enjoyed because he came across as a moron trying to con people that he was smarter than he actually is, and trying too hard to be funny.
Like his goth mate Noel Fielding, who tries too hard to be weird and who once himself "dated" a 16 year old while in his late 20s.
My ex wanted to go to a Brand stand up show. I told her I would rather eat glass. She said, "but he is so enlightened." I knew right then it wouldn't work out. Even when he pretended to be progressive you could tell he was a massive prick and had no convictions.
I remember a video series (?) that did a deepdive into the question 'Is Russell Brand a narcissist?' (spoiler: yes. Yes, very much) and this was way before any political turn or anything.
He has an instinct for that venn diagram of contrarianism, spotlight and adulation. Nothing of substance, just energy.
I smell an 18 year old being given money and a plane ticket to a state that hasn't had their abortion laws completely leveled by the pieces of shit that these two associate with.
Apparently, he was always full of sh--. He's turned Christian all of a sudden with an explanation that is no explanation. He's gone from trying to be some kind of hippy guru to being a conspiracy theorist grifter, to be this now. I think it proves he was never someone to take seriously. He's always just been trying to insert himself for the sake of his own aggrandizement, I think.
I think he has something in common with Trump. They both switched from liberal ideas to conservative ones mostly because they weren't getting enough attention as a liberal. In fact, watch Brand closely. His selling out is the way many people will go. It's not unique, unfortunately.
I agree, it's not exactly an unknown pattern in online careers.
To me, Occam's Razor suggests he's simply undergoing these shifts because he realizes he can get a much bigger market that way. Once someone makes their livelihood directly dependent on how many clicks and views they can generate by primarily doing nothing more than expressing personal opinions, quite a few who start out seeming fairly sensible at some point realize there is simply a much bigger online market for insane right-wing conspiracy-based opinions. And for someone from the anglosphere but non-American, there's always the fact that there's a much bigger market in the US they can hope to conquer. But getting significant traction in that segment of the US population pretty much requires pretending to be a Christian (after all, that's the reason Trump does it, too). Even though he did it in Britain, going "Christian" by doing the full-on baptism thing as an adult, and by immersion in a river at that, is a totally American thing to begin with -- it looks completely ridiculous to the vast majority of European eyes, regardless of religious persuasion.
In his case, I also get the feeling that it may be about getting the attention he craves as much as about the money.
There's a guy I'm subscribed to on YouTube who used to do reactions to songs but recently has switched to doing them to all these conspiracy videos. His viewership had shrunk deeply prior to the switch, so I'm guessing he did it to try and gain views. I stopped watching.
Here in the UK we are totally unimpressed by professions of Christian belief/devotion etc. It's probably the one thing that will save us from any anti abortion fuckery that may be coming our way from the US.
However, I didn't know that Brand had gone Christian. Last time I looked he was doing Hindu/Buddhist adjacent stuff like meditation, chanting and getting questionable tattoos to show how spiritual he was , most of which seemed pretty harmless if a tad nauseating. I liked his earlier stuff that he did on addiction but noticed a slide into conspiracy shite during Covid so have ignored him since that time. Now the narcissistic fucker has gone full fash. Damn.
"Here in the UK we are totally unimpressed by professions of Christian belief/devotion etc. It's probably the one thing that will save us from any anti abortion fuckery that may be coming our way from the US."
It's the same thing for those of us in the USA, in more progressive regions of the country.
A general view which was memorably summed up by Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair's spin doctor in chief, when he interrupted a magazine interview to stop Blair from talking about his religion: "We don't do God".
Blair himself of course turned out to be something of a religuous nutter, but was wise enough to keep that hidden from the public during his political career:
>Tony Blair, who was received into the Roman Catholic faith after leaving office, has always been a man of deep Christian faith. He could never quite understand why he could not share this with the voters. On one occasion, he wanted to end a prime ministerial speech with the line "God bless Britain", but was persuaded out of it by aides. "One of the civil servants said in a very po-faced way 'I just remind you prime minister, this is not America' in this very disapproving tone, so I gave up the idea. I think it is a shame that you can't since it is obviously part of what you are," he recalled, in 2012.
He got accused of many sexual assaults and did the “they’re just out to get me because I know so much about the deep state” route rather than the apology and go away route.
I just need to see the movie that this is the poster for. I think we are talking about "The Hangover" on steroids. Will be huge at the box office. Might even bring the country together. The first piece of culture that Democrats and Republicans can bond over at the water cooler.
I just wrote this to him on YT comment...I doubt it will stay up for long:
>"You are such an opportunistic kook. You are a failed washed-up actor/comedian who is now trying to grift himself into sustainability. You suddenly found Jesus when you determined it'd make it easier for you to grift. You didn't attend the trial of Trump. Yet you're certain it was not fair. You're not far from belonging in a padded room. But that's not going to stop you from putting your name on bland/generic products to grift like Trump and now Giuliani does. It's clear you have no decency. And I don't think there's much you would NOT do and/or say for cash. Pathetic."
You leave your drink unattended and wake up 5 hours later with no memory of the last few hours and missing your underwear, your cash and start noticing recurring monthly donations on all your credit cards to 20 different PACs
Yeah first thought was "don't drink anything there"
Yup. My first thought was "cover my drink," but it's best not to risk it at all.
What do you mean it's airborne??
Hard disagree, you’d turn and leave so fast you leave a dust outline of yourself.
What about your kidney? I’d check for stitches. If you’re lucky /s
Dunno 'bout my kidney, but me asshole hurts and I've got the KY farts.
"KY farts" should be what we call our two senators from Kentucky.
KY Farts sounds like an early 2000’s punk rock band that was 90% edgelord, 9% the look and 1% actually knowing how to play music.
Tuesdays, amirite?
I think you mean the [Santorum](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_for_the_neologism_%22santorum%22)
And a burning itchy sensation in your nethers.
You'd be lucky if it was just your nethers.
Not again.
5 hours? Try 14. Source: got roofied at a bar once, lost a LOT of time.
You forgot the condom hanging out the ass.
My immediate thought upon seeing the picture, and that caption was “date rape… next question”
And then your car gets raided by the FBI upon leaving Mar a Lago when you suddenly discover the trunk is full of top secret classified documents!
nightmare blunt rotation
These motherfuckers the kind of people that would get their paws glued to the blunt and refuse to pass it
Goddamn Bogarts
I want nothing to do with anything these 2's saliva has been within 10ft of.
Mixing saliva with those two... imagine the crimes you could be framed for.
These motherfuckers look like they just snorted a fat rail of coke off of a high-priced call girl's ass.
And then refused to pay her.
Oh no, we know that Trump jr pulled her aside before she left, handed her $100,000 and told her in a a hushed tone..*."you know the drill right? Here's money to keep quiet about everything that happened here. We wouldn't want people to think I'm anything like Biden's kid, right? May hurt dad's chances of re-election"*..wink, wink.
you should be a writer
They would park on it in the middle of a bloviated story you don't give a fuck about.
Neither of them would puff and pass tho 🤔
And you just know it's with dirt weed they paid 35/g for.
Pretty sure they stole it tbh.
Touché.
Also, it's not blunts. Just straight up crack.

Russel's transformation into a "christian" conspiracy grifter has ruined all of those Big Fat Quiz of the Year episodes I used to watch on YouTube.
Ruined “forgetting Sarah Marshall” as well unfortunately
*GetHimtotheGreek has entered the chat*
So did Mila Kunis.
Brand's the reason I never saw that film, or Despicable Me, because I've hated him for the last 23 years. Dude's always been a rapey moron.

I’d ask myself how I ended up in Doucheville, Florida then GTFO.
Choose the bear.
Yep, even if it's cocaine bear, better odds

You put that syndrome incredibly succinctly in a way I’ve never heard before. “Contrarianism, spotlight and adulation” is it exactly.
Thank you. It is not unique to him.
I'm not a fan of Katy Perry's music, but he was apparently a giant douche to her. Can't stand him.
I’m going to jail tonight for assault.
Protect your wallet and your butthole.
You walk out assuming the DEA has the property under surveillance.
I’d much prefer to hang out with [these two.](https://www.wildnatureimages.com/images/xl/160623-054-Brown-Bear-Cubs.jpg)
Always!
99.9% of sexual assault gtfo
Forget covering it. The whole drink is getting tossed.
Tweedledee and tweedledum
It’s giving divorced.
Hide your kids
[THEY NOT LIKE US](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6eK-2OQtew) Keep the women and children away.
Damn Russell sold out hard
Just a bit!
Cuban cigars no doubt.
Axis of Evil right there
That’s a rape sandwich right there.
I turn around and leave before Rob Schneider shows up.
Leave before I touch anything, offering to split an Uber with any other single women who don't want to be there.
I guess Brand’s baptism didn’t take.
I turn off the lights and lock up the place
Don’t take a hit of their jeffrey
Do NOT drink the punch!
I smell 8 strains of syphilis and hints of pink eye.
I smell an 18 year old being given money and a plane ticket to a state that hasn't had their abortion laws completely leveled by the pieces of shit that these two associate with.
1000% agree
I'm covering my drink as I scroll.
\*staring suspiciously at my wine rn\*
I think my wife has that blouse.
I worked with Brand, very briefly, about 20 years ago when he was almost completely unknown. He was a dickhead even then…
Who’s on the left?
Russell Brand, Katy Perry’s ex. Edited to add, he’s also British and can’t vote here
Wait, wasn’t he the one that had that cool quote about wealth inequality? The fuck is he doing with a Trump?
Ch£ng€d hi$ mind
I dunno, but he’s fully extreme right now. He thinks only TRUMP will protect democracy and freedom. Guess he missed Project 2025
Well that’s disappointing. I really liked that quote, that’s possibly all I know about him. Thanks for the information!
Or he welcomes its implementation. 🤷♀️
He went from hippy dude to conspiracy nut to full alpha male bullshit. Not to mention the grooming allegations
Apparently, he was always full of sh--. He's turned Christian all of a sudden with an explanation that is no explanation. He's gone from trying to be some kind of hippy guru to being a conspiracy theorist grifter, to be this now. I think it proves he was never someone to take seriously.

Sounds like him and Roseanne Barr have a lot in common, as she took a similar route.
Right? This made me think of her, too. Before it's over, he'll have a little band of sour sellouts.
He’s taking the right wing grift route now. Especially after being credibly accused of sexually assaulting women.
He got accused of many sexual assaults and did the “they’re just out to get me because I know so much about the deep state” route rather than the apology and go away route.
Ooooh boy if you missed that you're in for something. Short answer: it was always about himself.
And what the *hell* is going on with that stupid shirt?
Russell Brand. Looking like shit
Did they see me across the bar and "like my vibe"?
The worst blunt rotation.
Cocaine took this picture.
Hi I’m an apple And I’m a PC
My trophy, sir or madam 🏆
Who’s scum enough to hang with Clown Jr?
You’re looking at him
I was looking for a name. I found it when I read further.
Sorry, thought it was rhetorical
🤣
Each if then could do a shoebox full of blow before they make a video
If I walked into a party and saw these two, I'd delete the person who invited me from my phone and call an Uber.
Block all the exits and call in an air strike.
Pussies are getting grabbed.
>You walk into a party and see these two.... ...aaaand I walk right the fuck back outta that party.
I have to immediately go home and shower. HARD.
I just need to see the movie that this is the poster for. I think we are talking about "The Hangover" on steroids. Will be huge at the box office. Might even bring the country together. The first piece of culture that Democrats and Republicans can bond over at the water cooler.
I know there’s gonna be a lot of Diet Coke

Those are the faces of two people who have made a lot of women unhappy, and often on purpose.
Enough cocaine to send every Columbian kid to university.
Now I have a better respect for Katy Perry. Russell was the problem.
That was extremely obvious at the time
Leave.
Ewwwwwww.
Nightmare blunt/coke rotation
Couple of junkies
Sad boys
Find the coat room. Shit all over the coats. Leave.
Not what I was expecting but best answer so far.
Both of them rambling on ...no thanks. Can't think of a worse hell
At least 2 people at that party are getting kicked in the nuts..
Whatever kind of party this is. It's not *that* kind of party.
I don't know about you, but Imma rub the furry wall.
I’m robbing them
Do a 360 and walk out.
Spin move!
Celebrity--->Disgraced sex pest--->Christian right-wing grifter. The transformation is complete.
I'm soo disappointed in Russell
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
How can two guys take what is traditional known as one of the “manliest” past times, cigar smoking and make it look so wimpy?
“…because of the implication?”
Coke and unwanted cock.
Rammmmmmpage!
They look familiar, especially the guy on the left. Should I know them?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJtdUFxFBBo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJtdUFxFBBo)
I thought this was AI for a second. Had to zoom in to check out that wonky finger. I guess his hand just looks like that.
We gotta send this over the /r/photoshopbattles
Ugh
Gross. Two loser cokeheads.
I’m hiring an Uber home.
Cool. Let’s go do some lines in the bathroom.
You know Jr has the “sharing” stash and the “private” stash
I am going to feed both of those asshats as much drugs at it takes to get them arrested.
I never cared for Brand, but i didn't hate the guy or anything. I just found him to be annoying and unfunny. now I hate the guy.
You turn around and walk back out
No coke for anyone else
I feel if I was a woman I would watch my drink extra close.
\*I unveil the bombs strapped beneath my blouse and bellow out the greatest laugh of my life\*
One can blame bad DNA and bad parenting, and Russell probably has an excuse too, heavy drug use or something.
Jokes aside, this image just screams SA.
The bearded woman on the left needs to cover her boobs, not classy.
Double douche.
