Andrew Sachs angry over Russell Brand 'comedy' award. - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...hs-angry-over-Russell-Brand-comedy-award.html

You've had your pound of flesh! Got some nice pay checks off the back of the recent prank calls, but now it's clearly time to please disappear off the radar again!


"I don't really understand why he won it after all those people complained.​
Because the whole world does revolve around you and the recent stupid issues? And this (thankfully) has nothing to do with a bunch of self-righteous pitch fork wiedling Mail readers?


"It's not my style of comedy. I can't appreciate his 'magic' if magic it is. It doesn't get through to me as comic genius as such it is.

"It baffles me as to why he is so popular. There's no style or structure to his work.​

What's so hard to understand? You've just said you realise it's not your style of comedy? Different people have different views and tastes! I personally don't find Brand very funny at times, but none-the-less I know many people do. Live and let live!


The moment you try throwing your value set or tastes onto others your in trouble.

Frankly... What an idiot...

I don't see any idiocy there. Not unless you count the sensationalist headline, which was written by someone else. I don't see him saying anywhere that he is angry. Baffled is the strongest word he used.
 
TBH I think Russell Brand doesn't deserve any recognition as he's not a comedian he's not funny has no talent and the only reason people laugh when he's spouting his nonsense is because they're laughing at him and his wannabe winehouse haircut.
 
I'm not a fan of Russell Brand but I guess some people must find him funny

you know for the next 10 years everytime Brand or Ross fart the press are going to question Sachs over how he feels about it

He doesn't seem to understand:-
1) The whole world doesn't revolve around one set of questionable prank calls made to him. The award was for something else... The incident was over blown at the time, something he admits, yet here he is months later still bringing it up in connection with things it has nothing to really do with?
2) He admits Brand is not his style of comedy, but still continues on to then suggest everyone who does like him is therefore at fault?

Quite, I would rather staple my nuts to the table than hear his babble.

Oh for goodness sake... :rolleyes:

My appreciation of comedy is cleary far superior to yours! I'm right! You're wrong!

1) he was asked his opinion by the mail and gave it nothing wrong with that so far, in fact in the article he doesnt even mention the calls.

2) no he doesnt, he says there is no style or structure to his work and as such is baffled as to why hes so popular, at no time does he say anyone who likes Rb to be at fault.


3: RB is a pathetic and sad excuse for a comedian.

1. If a journalist asks him a question and he answers it truthfully and the paper prints it, who is at fault? Sachs for answering a question put to him or the journo putting it to him and printing the response?
2. Nothing really to do with? The award was for being 'funny' and Brand was being 'funny' when making the phone calls. How are the two not connected?
3. Sachs didn't mention anyone else when voicing his own opinion on Brand's 'comedy'. He simply stated that he was unable to appreciate him, being that his 'comedy' is completely without style or structure. At what point did he mention anyone else?

To be quite honest I think you've read the headline, seen red, gone off on a PC-gone-mad Daily-Mail-reader attack without stopping and reading what was actually said. You're as bad as the 27k people that caused the problem in the first place.

Fair enough, but his statement, "I don't really understand why he won it after all those people complained," is just nonsense!

What have the orchestrated complaints about the prank call got to do with the award? The matter is in the past, been more than talked about, yet here he is digging it up again.

What's he after? A panto gig or something :mad:
 
I happen to agree with sachs (and platypus) that it baffles me why he's so popular, he's about as funny as a plain white wall.
 
I heard that his daughters publicist was Max Clifford... which would explain all the constant unending sensationalist headlines. Max Clifford and Jonathon Ross fell out a long time ago and have had quite the feud going on. I'd expect Clifford is going to roast this chestnut for quite some time yet. Expect more headlines!
