from wikipedia: Brand was eventually ejected from the event after GQ editor Dylan Jones confronted Brand with his view that the speech was "very offensive"-Brand replied by saying that the Nazis' treatment of the Jewish people was "very offensive". LOL
+TheBoomshine Good for you. Thing is, you can't have fame and shit on the people who gave it to you in the first place. Hence, Brand's career. Best of luck.
Why, Julien, I suppose we *should* take your advice, considering your magnificent amount of experience with hollow pursuits of superficial, transient thrills in the desperate yet misguided hope that they'll fulfill you on a deeper level. I still contest that the platform is a rather useful tool in and of itself though.
I'm 53. Don't know much about this kid, but heard he was a wanker. Don't think so. You'd need go back to Bill Hicks or even Lenny Bruce to hear truth that fucking smart. Good boy he is.
Do you even listen to what he says? Obviously not. If we don't have people challenging the rich class status quo we will become comfortable with living in a pile of rubish.
good lord - brand has fierce balls and astonishing charm. i think he's the modern day Lord Byron - mad, bad and dangerous to know. i'm so glad he's around in my lifetime. respect to this unique gentleman.
***** our opinions about people is subjective and based on our own set of values; so naturally every individual will have their cheering partisans and jeering detractors. I like brand for the reasons mentioned above and a lot of people do too, but yes he of course has his critics and that's perfectly fine.
***** that's not very nice. you undermine yourself when you make such personal attacks on people who have not attacked you personally ... you can express yourself without demeaning others.... i suppose it's the nature of the internet and it's anonymity. your words did upset me abit though. o well....
He's on the right track but he doesn't really care about political injustice, I think he just uses it as part of his act, because he knows it resonates with people. Russell brand sometimes tries so hard to sound smart and use big words that he ends up saying virtually nothing. It's cringe worthy at times. The dick head.
I was never a fan of Russell Brand but must say he told it like it was at this event. Awards for awards sake & I take my hat off to the genuine respect he paid Bobby Charlton at the end.
People need to appreciate that despite all the things he says about capitalism and events like this; he himself lives of the exact same corporate structure. He is wiping his arse with 100$ bills, literaly... The amount of money he has is sickening; and sure, he does 'some good' with it too, but 'put his life and financnes on the line', give me a break...
EraChanZ Be careful how you use the word "literally" lol And yes, he does have money, but that doesn't mean he can't bring some truth to light. He is brutally honest about his own past, which is more than I can say for any of the people/companies he mentioned here.
EraChanZ lol do you know him do you? How much money does he have exactly??? And YES he is LITERALLY risking his life to educate the world. Putting his fancy lifestyle at risk and i very highly doubt he cares. He is using his money for good purposes. If you can't discuss the positive things he is doing why even talk at all. Stella Rothe is this guy for real? Too much fox news maybe? Maybe he drinks straight fluoride and has a completely numb brain lol
Amir Ruze lol :) And let's not forget what a mess he made of his earlier days - drugs, sex addiction, booze. He's cleaned all that up (which isn't easy!) to spread light and awareness, and I applaud him so very, very much.
EraChanZ You can't hate someone for being succesful and having money WE give them, that goes for all people. Russell is incredibly open about being as real as possible( even after his divorce with katy and not talking shit) as well as sef depricating and waking people up in some way or another. He is a recovering drug addict and has such put time into helping those still struggling and made doccumentaries about helping them in the best ways he believes. Sounds fairly solid to me. I guess its a lose-lose though because otherwise he'd be a "sellout" for not speaking up.
This is the bravest, most honest, highest integrity individual I have ever met, heard, or seen. If everyone had this kind of integrity, 99% of the problems humanity faces would be solved overnight, everyone's lives would be unimaginably better, even those of the super rich. When I first heard of, and saw an image of this guy, I thought, 'God, what silly gimmick personality will they throw at us next? because, frankly, I'm not keen on the whole metrosexual vibe or what I took to be Kardashianeque celebrity for celebrity's sake. But immediately upon first hearing him speak, and ever more so after every subsequent instance, I have been increasingly impressed.
I still for the life of me can not believe that Hugo Boss never changed the company name. It's literally the guy who's responsible for what the Nazis looked like. The fact that nobody really questions that in this time where people get in trouble for really trivial bullshit is baffling to me.
Because like Brand said, the Nazi uniforms were fucking amazing. And Hugo Boss probably thinks people are intelligent enough to separate people's appearance and their beliefs and actions.
+ Facism like slavery and wars had a lot of companies and families involved... it just takes a little digging to find them. You want to know who was involved... follow the money.
Why - WHY!?! - are people so damn offended when someone speaks negatively about big corporations? Why would you be offended that Brand would point out Hugo Boss supplying Nazi soldiers? In what way does that make him the horrid man these comments suggest? Bravo for an open mind and open mouth, Russel! Wish more people would speak up.
I agree wholeheartedly and appreciate your opinion, no matter how unpopular it may be in this age of corporate suck-ups and worship of greed. Brand absolutely NAILS it in his acceptance speech, glad to hear somone else out there gets it and spreads awareness, keep up your resistance to the 'status quo' that supports greed, war, and corporate enslavement, really.
Because money is God now and corporations are the churches. But to be fair, everyone was doing business with the Nazis, including Bush Jr's grandfather. But no one knew how bad the Nazis were until after WW2
Because the people who worked in the company now, aren't the same people who worked in the company then. It's analogous to getting national recognition in Germany and then going off about how they're nazi's. Or getting an award in Japan, and going off about imperial war crimes. Or anyone in the soviet bloc. I wouldn't get an award from BMW only to go off the german company being part of nazi germany..
I'm sending as many good vibes as I can toward this guy so that he isn't taken out. *Russell Brand found dead in Hilton Hotel room. Drug overdose* Much Love, much Luck and much Life to you, Russell Brand. You're doing what many of us wish we could!
Exactly he is taking on all the big shark's and greedy people and yet people seem to miss that and the risk he is taking, someone might want to shut him up n he would know that
Telling it like it is...all the while standing up there accepting an award for something he finds distasteful, capitalistic, etc? Am trying to find the right word...ah yes, hypocrisy. At least John Cleese - both an intelligent and funny man - declined to be a part of the old-boy network and refused a knighthood.
if he didn't accept he wouldn't be able to publicise the hugo boss irony with as much force, if he wrote it in a book hugo boss wouldn't give a fuck now i don't think they really care anyway. so it goes both ways and hopefully people are deciding to not buy hugo boss but my idealistic viewpoint is probably happening haha
+Neil Johnstone - That is bollox. The war has been over for 70 years. Of course people knew about it Pointing it out after 70 years for a cheap laugh serves no purpose. There were also a lot of other German companies who had the choice: work for the war effort or suffer the consequences. The man is a fucking twat. He criticised the thing and only appeared so he could take his shot with his crappy comedy.
+John Doe in the time it took you to come up with that you could have googled "verbal" and "lobotomy", but no that would actually make sense and you want to sound as ignorant as you possibly can.
I fucking love Russell Brand. He always has such powerful truths to speak, and he uses his comedic talents expertly to release the tension, allowing what he says to be more easily accepted, which demonstrates a pretty good understanding of human psychology. I especially love how the way he acts seems the be a commentary calling to rebel against the stupid, superficial things we choose to worry about as a society while ignoring the real issues. I've been watching him for a while, and I'm excited to see what he does next.
+rachelysew Agree. It's never comfortable watching him but he seems to be pushing in the right direction ... I do sometimes wonder whether he's a bit drug-fuelled though...
+rachelysew he's the anti-establishment establishment. His outbursts are aimed directly at anyone who doesn't tow the PC status quo. The only thing he ever rebelled against was a bar of soap.
rousseaupatrick94 Oh woe is me for being a fool who takes *everything* literally. Common sense tells you that he wasn't going to *literally* be kicked (by a foot/shoe/boot). He was told to leave. Common understanding of English = He was "kicked out". It's as simple as that. There is no click-bait. Only troll-bait.
'Morals' are relative. Speaking your mind and standing up for yourself takes courage. Whereas, following a preset decorum sold off as 'moral' is naive. Also, he's hilarious.
Fucking love the guy more and more each damn time he opens his mouth in a public forum and lets fly his honest views on all sort of shit be it fucked up, funny, or serious. A man who hasn't a care as to what anyone sees him as has no worries of being insulted nor fears of saying what he believes in and expressing truth no matter when nor where it is he says it.
Shortly afterwards, Brand was kicked out by the magazine’s editor, Dylan Jones. According to the comedian’s Twitter feed, the two men exchanged angry words, with Jones saying, ‘What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.’ Brand replied, ‘What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.’
He does shit like this almost every single day. Check out Russells channel, where he breaks down political issues and exposes shit like this... he actually has integrity! Hes only human though, hes got some quirks for sure lol
Russell is a genius. He just isn't part of the system. Everyone wants to have their ears told what they want to hear. The man speaks the truth. However, in defense of Hugo Boss...he does very nice cologne and amazing suits. God bless the first amendment.
There are many comments here and lots of passion. Try not to lose focus. The public has awoken and people like Brand just make the windshield a little clearer. Humanity needs to go after these 1%ers. The world is for everyone ...
You wouldn't find the stuff about IBM, Ford & Hugo Boss in our history books. I wonder why that is? ... Hmmmm .... Let me think ... Oh, could it be because that they didn't was to find out?
***** They are german car manufacturing companies and can not be compared to other, least not 'Murican companies during WW2... Dude...German. German. German. Geography. German. German. History. Nazi-Era. German. Am I getting through to you? What were they supposed to do? Say "Nein Adolf"?
That's a man who speaks his mind. " this is not an environment designed for sincirety" Lol "The Nazis had some flaws but they did look fucking fantastic. Let's face" " Rob, are you being paid enough money to take this seriously" This guy is hilarious.
what can i say , you are my Hero, Rusell on top of beeing supercute you stand up for the people with your fastalking dialogue that not one of those snobs could even relate to....
Saw Russell in Limerick last Tuesday night. What a dose of the best fresh air ever!! We gave him a heart felt standing ovation and the best one I've ever had the pleasure to be part of. And no phoney crap in Limerick , we dont do it. So I looked up this video. Russell makes you laugh while simultaneously decimating the establishment wherever they may be. What an absolute pleasure to see someone finally speak their mind without compromise or any sort. ROCK ON RUSSELL! (Hope you read this mate!) .
Say what you will about Hugo Boss, but nobody's giving up on them simply because they had a shady past with the Nazis, just like nobody is giving up on the benefits of rocket technology and jet aircraft or companies like Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Volkswagen because of their associations with the Nazis. And heck, we're certainly not going to be stupid and destroy the Autobahn highway, which was built by the Nazis. Sure, the Nazis committed some terrible atrocities, but it doesn't mean we can't take the stuff they pioneered, turn it around and use it for good instead of evil.
"Your exaggerate and distort to suit your bias Jack Thompson." In what way. Please address my comments directly and give a rebuttal. "To make the whole group guilty for what maybe even one or two have done. Whats the difference between that rationalization and racism?" What group? The human race, the Germans or maybe just the corporations I was speaking of. I don't think I was blaming the entire group whatever group you think that is. "You would have made a perfect Nazi Jack Thompson." What???? Are you completely out of your mind. Someone disagrees with you and all of a sudden you not only throw out the race card but now I would have been a perfect Nazi??? My Grand Father fought in WWII and I had relatives that were killed by the Nazis you schizophrenic dumbass. Do you actually comprehend what you read or do you just blend it in with your delusional mind. What's next, are you going to call me the perfect spawn of satan? I got a great idea Pablo. Do everyone a favor and please get back on your meds and if you haven't already get some professional help.
Jack Thompson In no way was Aspirin developed as late as 1939. It was being sold around the world in 1899 and Bayer's patent expired on Aspirin in 1917. The nazis may have tortured people and called it scientific experimentation, but that doesn't mean the scientific community gained anything from it.
pablo sublime Nope. The brand name Aspirin didn't exist before the late 1890s. Salicylate drugs are ancient and come from willow tree bark. More than a thousand years ago.
pablo sublime Jack Thompson said Aspirin was developed using concentration camp prisoners. It wasn't, I told him so. Then you tried to tell me that 'aspirin' has existed for a thousand years, for no apparent reason. You were wrong and I told you so (And even if you're right about the bark, your comment added nothing to the conversation). Now you're implying that I should not point out when people are talking out of their asses? And that I shouldn't make sure I'm not talking out of my ass when doing so? ...No? I'm not going to be a moron?
pablo sublime I'll let it go out of laziness. You seem to only read about 20% of the words that comprise the sentences you read, so I'd have to go back and explain what I actually wrote in each instance, and then why what you said in response to those sentences was irrelevant or wrong in each case, which would be tiring.
BMW, Mercedes Benz, Fiat, Auto Union (AUDI), VW, Mitsubishi (Zeros), all still doing well, despite being instrumental suppliers of weapons of mass destruction.
And IBM supplied the computers known as Holerith Machines which made the logistics of running genocide possible, Ford supplied vehicles and permission to use patents and Coca-Cola Corp gave the Nazis Fanta.
to think i spent so many years thinking this guy was just a joke. i have been obsessed with him lately. i apologize for ever underestimating this mans genius.
Get rid of that desperate clickbait title, noone was kicked out. In fact Brand's "acceptance speech" lasted 4 fucking minutes when people at way bigger awards get like 2 minutes at most.
They couldn't walk up there and stop him because it would have given him more attention and credibility. You can bet these guys were cringing the entire time. I'm never seen anyone vomit up that amount of truth in such a short time.
Get rid of your ignorant douche bag attitude. He DID get kicked out, AND banned. Fucking twits like you are a joke, always looking for something to whine about.
Jesus I can't believe someone can ascertain from a RUclips click that he's been railing. And that was the perfect time to express himself. Good job Rus. Keep at it

Do you even listen to what he says? Obviously not. If we don't have people challenging the rich class status quo we will become comfortable with living in a pile of rubish.
Russel exposing all the bullshit
UkMagicz ...And talking loads of it too...
exposing what exactly? Hugo boss made some shit for the nazi a long time ago, who gives a fuck?
yea but exposing the event as not being sincere, being a pat on the back club for wealthy people ,maybe you weren't concentrating.

Did the kicking out part come after they let him finish speaking, maybe when he went backstage?
He WAS ejected for telling the joke. Not shown in the video obviously. He even talks about it himself.
If you watch closely, he isn't actually kicked out in this video. He finishes speaking and steps off down from the podium toward Rob Brydon.
He didn't embarrass Hugo Boss. They did that themselves
i loved the part where he got kicked out
+turbominator yea....I missed that part.

I remember seeing this when I was 17 and thought it was funny - now I'm 25 and I think this is fucking gold.
Grindles1540 this was in 2013, you weren't 17 lol ;)
Such a modern Renaissance man. Watch and learn humanity.
he goes back for the gift bag.
this was so fucking amazing on so many levels...bravo, love. bravo.
One of my favourite vids on the RUclips. Always come back to it
They kicked Russell Brand out of the GQ awards for simply saying what corporations are capable of doing.
Fucking love the guy more and more each damn time he opens his mouth in a public forum and lets fly his honest views on all sort of shit be it fucked up, funny, or serious. A man who hasn't a care as to what anyone sees him as has no worries of being insulted nor fears of saying what he believes in and expressing truth no matter when nor where it is he says it.
FUCKING LEGEND of a man, speaking the truth!!!
Shortly afterwards, Brand was kicked out by the magazine’s editor, Dylan Jones. According to the comedian’s Twitter feed, the two men exchanged angry words, with Jones saying, ‘What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.’ Brand replied, ‘What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.’
Title of this video should be "Russell Brand kicked out of GQ Awards for speaking truth."
"Good luck being more offensive than that son...ta da!" Hahaha!
He does shit like this almost every single day. Check out Russells channel, where he breaks down political issues and exposes shit like this... he actually has integrity! Hes only human though, hes got some quirks for sure lol
where exactly did he get kicked off??
he got kicked out of the event and subsequent party as a result of this speech, it was in the papers
After this speech. It was all over the news.
John C. Salinas you're an idiot
Russell is a genius. He just isn't part of the system. Everyone wants to have their ears told what they want to hear. The man speaks the truth. However, in defense of Hugo Boss...he does very nice cologne and amazing suits. God bless the first amendment.
That was such a slick move to seed the ground with the Boris Johnson comparison...
I thought the title was misleading till i saw the last 5 seconds.
Hugo Boss should be embarrassed. Russell Brand is just telling the truth. people just want to sweep history under the rug. so, god bless Russ.
There are many comments here and lots of passion. Try not to lose focus. The public has awoken and people like Brand just make the windshield a little clearer. Humanity needs to go after these 1%ers. The world is for everyone ...
You wouldn't find the stuff about IBM, Ford & Hugo Boss in our history books. I wonder why that is? ... Hmmmm .... Let me think ... Oh, could it be because that they didn't was to find out?
James Bondage My U.S. history book mentions that Ford supported the Nazi war effort. Agree with what you are saying in general though.
Travis Black I'm from England and not once did my History book mention anything about that. (I'm talking about what I was taught in school)
James Bondage ford definately was a huge nazi supporter and infamously antisematic
I knew he was Anti-Semitic, but I didn't know he went to the lengths that he did in order to prove his hatred. That is what I'm getting at. :-)
***** They are german car manufacturing companies and can not be compared to other, least not 'Murican companies during WW2...
Dude...German. German. German. Geography. German. German. History. Nazi-Era. German. Am I getting through to you? What were they supposed to do? Say "Nein Adolf"?
The word "arsehole" doesn't do him justice.
The level of articulation this guy has is unbelievable. Imagine having him as a lecturer? You'll add new words to your vocabulary every day.
Not a fan of Russell Brand, but he`s Hugo Boss story is a fact and is something i think Hugo Boss should adress.
Video starts at 3:54
You my son have gone up in my estimations!
Nothing that can't be heard after a rough week at work
Did he just remember Sir Bobby Charton after saying "Soon we all will be in the grave" ..
In the words of Eminem "If you're offended? Good! because I still don't give a fuck!"
"They flying off the shelves" lmaooooo
Where's the bit where he gets kicked out?
That's a man who speaks his mind. " this is not an environment designed for sincirety" Lol
"The Nazis had some flaws but they did look fucking fantastic. Let's face"
" Rob, are you being paid enough money to take this seriously"
This guy is hilarious.
Epic from Russell. Tragic how honest commentators like him are reviled by the UK.
what can i say , you are my Hero, Rusell on top of beeing supercute you stand up for the people with your fastalking dialogue that not one of those snobs could even relate to....
FUK AFF U HIPPY BEYOTCH U GOT DRITY BOX TALKIN BOLIGS
It's early, but this will be the best shit I see all day.
Hard to embarrass someone who's dead for over half a century though.
Hearing an honest person speak publicly in a huge forum is awesome, like please just say whats on your mind
Saw Russell in Limerick last Tuesday night. What a dose of the best fresh air ever!! We gave him a heart felt standing ovation and the best one I've ever had the pleasure to be part of. And no phoney crap in Limerick , we dont do it. So I looked up this video. Russell makes you laugh while simultaneously decimating the establishment wherever they may be. What an absolute pleasure to see someone finally speak their mind without compromise or any sort. ROCK ON RUSSELL! (Hope you read this mate!) .
Well done Russell, the world needs people that say it like it is
we need more Russell Brand's
Say what you will about Hugo Boss, but nobody's giving up on them simply because they had a shady past with the Nazis, just like nobody is giving up on the benefits of rocket technology and jet aircraft or companies like Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Volkswagen because of their associations with the Nazis. And heck, we're certainly not going to be stupid and destroy the Autobahn highway, which was built by the Nazis. Sure, the Nazis committed some terrible atrocities, but it doesn't mean we can't take the stuff they pioneered, turn it around and use it for good instead of evil.
"Your exaggerate and distort to suit your bias Jack Thompson." In what way. Please address my comments directly and give a rebuttal.
"To make the whole group guilty for what maybe even one or two have done. Whats the difference between that rationalization and racism?" What group? The human race, the Germans or maybe just the corporations I was speaking of. I don't think I was blaming the entire group whatever group you think that is.
"You would have made a perfect Nazi Jack Thompson." What???? Are you completely out of your mind. Someone disagrees with you and all of a sudden you not only throw out the race card but now I would have been a perfect Nazi??? My Grand Father fought in WWII and I had relatives that were killed by the Nazis you schizophrenic dumbass. Do you actually comprehend what you read or do you just blend it in with your delusional mind. What's next, are you going to call me the perfect spawn of satan? I got a great idea Pablo. Do everyone a favor and please get back on your meds and if you haven't already get some professional help.
Jack Thompson In no way was Aspirin developed as late as 1939. It was being sold around the world in 1899 and Bayer's patent expired on Aspirin in 1917. The nazis may have tortured people and called it scientific experimentation, but that doesn't mean the scientific community gained anything from it.
pablo sublime Nope. The brand name Aspirin didn't exist before the late 1890s. Salicylate drugs are ancient and come from willow tree bark. More than a thousand years ago.
pablo sublime Jack Thompson said Aspirin was developed using concentration camp prisoners. It wasn't, I told him so. Then you tried to tell me that 'aspirin' has existed for a thousand years, for no apparent reason. You were wrong and I told you so (And even if you're right about the bark, your comment added nothing to the conversation). Now you're implying that I should not point out when people are talking out of their asses? And that I shouldn't make sure I'm not talking out of my ass when doing so? ...No? I'm not going to be a moron?
pablo sublime I'll let it go out of laziness. You seem to only read about 20% of the words that comprise the sentences you read, so I'd have to go back and explain what I actually wrote in each instance, and then why what you said in response to those sentences was irrelevant or wrong in each case, which would be tiring.
The comment about it being a place filled with sincerity, I died.
Is he saying Noel is up for an award? Anybody know which Noel? Gallagher?
BMW, Mercedes Benz, Fiat, Auto Union (AUDI), VW, Mitsubishi (Zeros), all still doing well, despite being instrumental suppliers of weapons of mass destruction.
And IBM supplied the computers known as Holerith Machines which made the logistics of running genocide possible, Ford supplied vehicles and permission to use patents and Coca-Cola Corp gave the Nazis Fanta.
AnEnemy100 And don't forget Kodak, they took profits from Germany during the war.
canturgan It's a long list, and a clue to why Switzerland didn't get invaded.
I fucking love this guy wow
Thanks Russell... gawd I hate these awards. Especially the homophobic Italian fashion designers.
He wasn't kicked out. He finished his ego speech.
to think i spent so many years thinking this guy was just a joke. i have been obsessed with him lately. i apologize for ever underestimating this mans genius.
Also, when does he get kicked out?
wow didn't know about boss and the Nazis party
look up Porsche too
+Paul Butler ...and bmw. Their logo depicts the strobing effect of propellers of their fighter planes
It's the Bavarian flag ya doofus
Get rid of that desperate clickbait title, noone was kicked out. In fact Brand's "acceptance speech" lasted 4 fucking minutes when people at way bigger awards get like 2 minutes at most.
He WAS kicked out following the speech and banned from the event in the future.
also, there's a reason why time allotments on "way bigger awards" shows are much more strictly managed...but you wouldn't understand that...
Field of View And that was the realest 4 minute acceptance speech I've ever heard at an elitist award show. Bravo
They couldn't walk up there and stop him because it would have given him more attention and credibility. You can bet these guys were cringing the entire time. I'm never seen anyone vomit up that amount of truth in such a short time.
Get rid of your ignorant douche bag attitude. He DID get kicked out, AND banned. Fucking twits like you are a joke, always looking for something to whine about.
Jesus I can't believe someone can ascertain from a RUclips click that he's been railing. And that was the perfect time to express himself. Good job Rus. Keep at it
This comes from the man who drives a vintage Porsche...
I LOVE THIS MAN.
+EnigmaUK He's not gay. He just likes the metrosexual style.
georgetheonlyporge I met him!
I didn't like Russel... until I watched this.
Brilliant!
Agreed!
Imma repost this and title it Russel Brand at gq roasting Hugo boss
brand is on fire these days. keep going!
