Get Him to the Greek opens today, and the studio has released the first five minutes of it online, which I’ve always thought is a good marketing move, provided you believe in the product you’re selling at all. On that note, don’t hold your breath for the first five of Marmaduke or Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher Fart on Each Other, though I’m sure the cast will act real excited about it in interviews.
Anyway, after watching it, I can report that despite Russell Brand’s stupid hair, annoying accent, obnoxious overbite, and puffy, vulgar nipples, it’s actually pretty funny. It gets a little improv theater at a couple points, but the satire is reasonably sharp and it has a very Zoolander vibe. I just wish more of Russell Brand’s jokes didn’t rely on him being a super cool, rockstar sex machine. F*ck you, dude. You think yer better’n me? You know what I think? I think you ain’t sh*t, hoss.

Russell Brand would be cooler if his middle name were “Athletic”.
Wait, he’s not really a rockstar is he? What the fuck does he do again? Was he in the Spice Girls?
This does look funny.
*takes sip of his Gatorade*
Awwww, WHAT THE FUCK!

Tryin’ to balance out from that Paltrow post yesterday?
@MIZ: He has sex with Katy Perry. Nothing else he does makes shit bit of difference.

For. The. Win.
Men with accents from “across the pond” just make me want to drown them in one.
Get Him to the Creek. Grungy motherfucker needs a bath.
MIZ, according to the Comedy Central special I tried and failed to watch he is a comedian.
And if that’s all it takes to qualify you for the job then I am a satirical political humorist pornstar. With a huge cock. Because I said so. See what I did there?
This guy is the Michael Cera of England. He has no other character in his repertoire.
*ducks away from Vince’s flip flop*
I dunno. The rock star shenanigans looked kinda clumsy, but there’s still enough goodwill towards Brand for his TV work to warrant giving this a chance.
NICE NIPS, SUGARTITS!!! THE JEWS KILLED AFRICAN WHITE SPACE CHRIST!!!
Having ringworm and jock itch must be enough to qualify someone as being a comedian these days.
This is because he is currently sticking it to Katy Perry isn’t it?
I thought Bono was the White African Space Christ.
*Oski was hoping this dig on Bono would erase suspicion that he was the
biggestonly U2 fan here.*Surprisingly funny flick. It was by far the least annoyed I have been by either Russel Brand OR Jonah Hill.

What, even people like Gerard Butler and Jason Statham? Russel Brand does not represent British people at all in the same way that fags like the Jonas Brothers don’t represent all Americans, even over here, his voice is seen as weird and annoying.
