Quite literally the only part of the otherwise serious and disturbing investigation I felt I could laugh at. The rest was surrounded by godawful Brand sex maniac humour.
Me too! I had my opinions about Russell yrs ago, but recently I've watched his new stuff and pushing making up your own mind about the political/media shit the world is going thru, to actually being impressed with his articulated smart and charming ways. But now with this new shit coming down on him I wanted to make a smart and educated opinion, well just at least know what I was talking about if his name came up in conversation with someone in the near future! Yeah he probably did do what he is being accused of, which is too bad, cuz he is a good entertainer and I do respect his opinions on how things are in America today. So I feel sorry for him. BUT, he's done some pretty messed things in the past and needs to take accountability for those mistakes then move on learning from those mistakes! He would get much more respect from those he has wronged in the past! Cone on Russel, admit you did some shitty things, got caught, realized got help, living a better life since then clean and sober! Don't be a cunt, own what you did, apologize then move on! Do the decent thing, peoples memories suck you'll be back in the saddle again in no time! Just my opinion, that's all!
Hahaha same! I'm looking for the closing joke that he ad-lib adjusted to slag geldof instead of that other sorry soul who was a bit washed out on the evening in question!
@Blizdegs I agree about your opinion of Geldof. He can be a very miserable sod at times. I just find it bewildering that Brand, for whatever reason, is so popular and I just find him totally repulsive and nauseating.
Never been a fan of Bob Geldof he wouldn't allow Paula Yates to bring the girls to Australia with Michael Hutchinson & sadly Michael died in Australia & always been a fan of Russell he is innocent until proven guilty
Russell wrote the retort beforehand, as he foresaw Geldof coming out with an insult resulting from his introduction he gave him, as well as sly remarks he made about Bono "accepting an award via a satellite orbiting his own ego". Brilliant.
even if he did have this prepared RB is very quick witted, i believe this is widely acknowledged. If it was like you say "prepared" then it speaks volumes about Brand for not mentioning it, it was clearly only said as a retort to being called a "xxxx". Wouldnt you agree? Its clear to those living in the real world whos more the money grabber and false prophet is
Geldof's mistake was giving him a minute or so for a response. He could have fired something back within a few seconds but really had chance to tone it to perfection!
Bob Geldof was in a band called the Boomtown Rats They had a song called "I dont like Mondays" years ago and it was a big hit. He hasnt done a good song since. Brand is basically saying that Geldof is a has-been
@@jamdown1ifynot much of comeback really. Geldof listing some seriously impressive stats showing he’s been involved in humanitarian relief since live aid, and so what if he’s known for one song, it’s a goodun and one more than brand can muster. One of these men has integrity and the other just likes making women choke on his dick.
Russel is a bit of twat, but he's infinitely more likeable than Geldof. Not that that is much of a compliment given that Geldof is the antithesis of likeable. I think Russel, from what I've seen, is pretentious but his heart is in the right place. He's also willing to talk to people who hold wildly different views to his own. His interview with Jordan Peterson for example was quite well done.
Different sense of humour? Agreed. "I did get that Geldof's comment as a joke just like Brand's." I suspect that it is this particular conception of yours which has been the cause for the 'thumbs down' you were curious about earlier.
Pretty uncalled for by Bob Geldof. I decided to search for this video after reading about this in Booky Wook 2 in which Russel said that he was always a massive fan of Bob since growing up so it's no wonder that you could tell it hurt him.
NOT a great idea.... Crossing swords with a professional comedian in front of a live audience AND on TV.. Especially someone with a razor sharp wit like Russell Brand, geldorf asked for that. Gandolf asked for that lol. I remember Bob Geldorf Aid in 84. The money raised and publicity really helped out a badly needed mediocre Rock singer. I used to know someone who knew someone in London who , in turn knew someone who told him Geldorf use to pay something like three times as much for his coke cos he didn't want it getting out to the public hehe.
@cosmocreeper Brand actually had that comeback before the show even started. :) He says in his comedy special dealy "Shame" that he knew Geldof would say something smug so he wanted to have something to say back in advance. :)
that's so unnecessary; does geldof really think that sort of behaviour will endear him to anyone, regardless of whether they are a fan of Russell Brand or not. Russell's clearly quite annoyed by that, but takes it pretty well.
Brand would have been ready with his come back in one tenth of a second but geldolf made a school boy error giving him 2 mins to work out how to destroy him!
What a dick! Not only did he make fun of Bob's name, but did you see the smirk in his face when he shook Bob's hand? Not sure what's behind this animus between the two.
@OfficeAndOcean Actually, matey, Russell wrote about this in his second book. His mate matt wrote the joke to use in the event of bobby saying some like that. He's actually quite compassionate and has good morals about offensive jokes. I know this because I picked up a book and read it, maybe don't make judgements from what you read in the tabloids. That is all.
Neither of them "wrote" it. It's a pretty standard roast to accuse an artist of dining off their greatest success. Geldof and the Rats had plenty of big sales, before and after Mondays.@@hellcat19832
@JRAD897 One of manny highlights of Booky Wook 2 - i've seen this clip manny times now but to get the thoughts Russell and Matt had before and while the award-show was on is fantastic. Especially the extra Geldof-joke, him being a homeless-looking-man...
Haha I love this clip! You've got to love the bit where everyone is applauding Geldof, the camera pans around the room and all I can notice is Peaches trying to get her friend trashed on wine at the bottom of the screen. Brilliant! Brand only said what we've been thinking for a long long time... after all, what else was Bobby Gandalf famous for?
Cringing for you. He's not famous for don't like mondays. He's famous for live aid. You may have heard of it?? One of the biggest charity events ever?? Also, he's never been accused of rape, so there's that.
Go Russell. Geldof seems to think all the amazing work he's done gives him free reign to be a complete arse hole. The way he turns and smirks at Russell after he insults him, ugh. Clearly didn't know what he was dealing with - Russell is far too quick witted for him. Bet he didn't think he'd reply with something like that!
Yeah affectionately calling someone Bobby instead of Bob is comparable to calling someone a cunt, apparently... Lol. How old is geldoff again? Nothing worse than an arrogant, rude, wealthy, hypocritical preacher. Giving to charity doesn't make you a decent person to others, evidently.
@Dendiol ...... ...... ...... ..... ..... ..... Sorry, just getting up from the floor. I fell off my chair when I read your comment suggesting that these two have talent! If their 'talent' is what's on offer in the 21st century, bring back the inquisition!
bob geldoff does more by organising events and raising awareness to stop people ignoring the poverty problem and does way more that way than he could possibly do on his own. Why should it be his responisbility anyway, anyone rich enough to have a computer and food etc. can obviously help people worse off, which is what geldoff tries to get people to do.
Mmm, okay I'm willing to admit that I did reply to your post because it was an opposing view to all the others. Sorry, but I can be a tad biased regarding Russell. I totally agree that Geldof has in his time, done some very selfless and generous things. He does, however appear to often actively portray himself as being a reincarnation of the messiah himself and that others are 'beneath' him and his 'cohorts'. Anyhow, I hope there are no hard feelings Shane72...

Ohhhh, seems now that there might have been a lot more to Geldof's comment.
Russell isn't laughing tonight!
Russell Brand's face was golden when Bob said that. What a Kodak moment that was..!
I miss 12 years ago, no one says kodak moment anymore
Just saying hi to everyone who's about to come here to watch this clip after the Channel 4 Dispatches programme showing it.

That aged like milk for Russell Brand.
Nah Geldof is still a shoe gazing twatt
how so?
Mr grape was dating his teenage daughter
🤣🤣🤣
That dining out comment was so good! I think that's aged very well.
I had to come check this out after reading Russells book.
Hahaha same! I'm looking for the closing joke that he ad-lib adjusted to slag geldof instead of that other sorry soul who was a bit washed out on the evening in question!

@@Novemberheart92 Exactly.
Yeah Geldof is a huckster. Live Aid was a sham
@@vapeymcvape5000 For the mentally challenged: Brand is less than half the man Geldof is. Probably closer to 1/10th.

Bob knew 😂
Best mates with Bono. Who loved Epsteins island. What a cunt.
And the truth will set you free
Thank you Matt for allowing Russell to say this
Noel Gallagher "and my guest is Matt Morgan. Matt is.....yknow the funny parts of Russell Brand's stand up. Credit to Matt Morgan" haha!
Russel Brand’s brain is special, and fast like lightning!
@Blizdegs I agree about your opinion of Geldof. He can be a very miserable sod at times. I just find it bewildering that Brand, for whatever reason, is so popular and I just find him totally repulsive and nauseating.
That was a really good comeback by Brand. Touche!
It was a prepared.
@@vinnydurham8964 and pretty sh1te too.
Bob Geldoff calling Russell Brand what he is long before the documentary told us.
The 2023 Russell Brand documentary took me here
the look at 0.37 is PRICELESS!
these two clearly do not like each other.
Sir Bob was really on to something there. Bob knows a C*#t when he sees one.
Shame he was humiliated 2 minutes later by a brilliant ( true ] comeback.
His buddy Noel was getting it on with Pixie, who was 16 at the time. (Noel was 33).
it would have been great if they had a camera on bobs face when rus said that. after all they showed Russell's face when bob said 'what a c**t'..
Well done Bob. I’ve never been a fan before. But you summed up that low life Brand perfectly.
How is he a lowlife? Don’t believe everything the Daily Mail tells you.
Innocent until proven guilty
Never been a fan of Bob Geldof he wouldn't allow Paula Yates to bring the girls to Australia with Michael Hutchinson & sadly Michael died in Australia & always been a fan of Russell he is innocent until proven guilty

I love watching this lol everytime i just think GO ON SON!
Oh dear…
Brilliant analysis by Bob Geldof!
Russell wrote the retort beforehand, as he foresaw Geldof coming out with an insult resulting from his introduction he gave him, as well as sly remarks he made about Bono "accepting an award via a satellite orbiting his own ego". Brilliant.
He was really hurt because his mum was in the audience. Also I believe Russell dated one of Bob daughters which caused Futher tension
even if he did have this prepared RB is very quick witted, i believe this is widely acknowledged.
If it was like you say "prepared" then it speaks volumes about Brand for not mentioning it, it was clearly only said as a retort to being called a "xxxx". Wouldnt you agree?
Its clear to those living in the real world whos more the money grabber and false prophet is
Brand having a go at someone else for being egotistical....LOL
Russell Brand introduced the man as "Bobby Gandalf" so yes he's a c*nt.
Geldof's mistake was giving him a minute or so for a response. He could have fired something back within a few seconds but really had chance to tone it to perfection!
Well this aged well. Go Bob!
Bet that brilliant Russell put down stung his fragile ego for years?
@@eddiehockley4144brilliant? It was so weak and prepared.
me too! thats the reason i looked this clip up again. Quality!
regardless of what you can say about Brand - that comment was pure genius...
revol148 not really
Maximum Really.
Great comeback, it's true aswell!
Bob Geldof, telling it like it is.
And getting owned in front of a big crowd for his troubles.
Bob Geldof was in a band called the Boomtown Rats
They had a song called "I dont like Mondays" years ago and it was a big hit. He hasnt done a good song since.
Brand is basically saying that Geldof is a has-been
and the funniest part was, as he came up to collect his award they didnt play "i dont like mondays" they played status quo!!
Or a one hit wonder
Thanks for explaining, I didn't understand Russell's comeback.
Sir Bob Geldof a man with the heart as big as a lion ! Love him ❤️
@@jamdown1ifynot much of comeback really. Geldof listing some seriously impressive stats showing he’s been involved in humanitarian relief since live aid, and so what if he’s known for one song, it’s a goodun and one more than brand can muster.

Ouch i love both of these guys with all my heart this hurtididid
One's a national treasure, the other's a national disgrace...
How much for a stove
Geldof is a pompous prick. He's no treasure. Only a moron would think so.
Two different nations…
@@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse 😂😂
Dude.... freak'n awesome!!!!!!
well my friend russell wrote that line before the show because he knew that something would come up
xx
Bobby gandolf looked like he was fuming as he dragged his miserable frame to the stage
God Russell looks so pissed off at 0:52.
Great comeback, though.
:D
Yeah it was uncomfortable for both because Bob Geldof was pissed off with him. We've already established that. That's all it is.
Probably because of your view that Brand should've taken Geldof''s remark as a joke, when clearly it wasn't one. It was an insult.
the look they exchange at the hand shake!
holy jeez taken in context that was a good line
russell brand had the line ready just incase
it's on his live DVD he talks about it
get in there russell. u fucking champion mate!!!!
sir bob - what a legend! and spot on about brand too! he can do no wrong!!
How well your comment has aged !
Russell. I love you.

Mige Ure did all the real work for Live Aid - Geldof just hogged the limelight and has continued to do so.
You never EVER insult a quick-witted person, particularly in front of a crowd!
Different sense of humour? Agreed.
"I did get that Geldof's comment as a joke just like Brand's." I suspect that it is this particular conception of yours which has been the cause for the 'thumbs down' you were curious about earlier.
haha, ahh man. you've just gotta love the guy :D
Visionary
Pretty uncalled for by Bob Geldof.
I decided to search for this video after reading about this in Booky Wook 2 in which Russel said that he was always a massive fan of Bob since growing up so it's no wonder that you could tell it hurt him.
Bob knew back then what he was like
i dont like mondays is the boomtown rats most famous song, and the boomtown rats were bob geldofs own band.
Hence a superb comeback line.
What's the back story here ? Incredible wit by Brand.
Hellcat+1

did anyone else read the booky wook 2 russel talks about this... so funny
Both are renowned for being outspoken so its no great surprise
that's so unnecessary; does geldof really think that sort of behaviour will endear him to anyone, regardless of whether they are a fan of Russell Brand or not. Russell's clearly quite annoyed by that, but takes it pretty well.
Good old Bob, thanked all the artists that made the most money out of it.
Bob asked for that!
Russell showed great patience. He kindly allowed the man to make his speech.
Best comeback ever?
Brand would have been ready with his come back in one tenth of a second but geldolf made a school boy error giving him 2 mins to work out how to destroy him!
Man , Russell must've felt good to come up with such an articulate & clever come-back line that quickly , brilliant !
He pre wrote it before the gig, he says so in his book, he might not have needed to use it , but he had it up his sleeve just in case
Would have made himself look much better if he’d just complemented Geldof, made the quip about being called a caaant and left it there.
12 years later...
Yep. Bob had the measure of him even then.
Russell looked genuinely hurt. I feel so bad for him.
He really did! I felt sorry for him too.
He had that gag ready and waiting for geldof.pure magic😂😂
