Oh Sachs.... Shut up!

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...

Apparently his grand daughter is going into Celebrity Big Brother (LOL! Celebrity?)

Really? LOL! Now if they can just get Brand to go in, even for just a day!

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.

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?

 

[NeilF]

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.

Oh for goodness sake...

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

 

[NeilF]

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

Great! I'll bring around a Brand dvd, you supply the stapler of choice!

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

 

[NeilF]

I find Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Jim Jeffries funny so I think I do prefer edgy comedians, but Russell Brand I don't get.

I'm not overly keen on Brand myself. But I can understand people enjoying him.

It just bugs me when people discuss comedy as if their opinion is right and others are wrong. It's basically the whole Daily Mail fiasco all over again!

 

[NeilF]

I think you're getting too much on Sachs here. This strikes me as blatantly the newspaper ringing him up for a reaction quote after Brand won the award. Nothing he's said was particularly bad, the paper just obviously wanted something vaguely controversial to sell copies.

You're probably right!

It's just his comment, "I don't really understand why he won it after all those people complained," that really bugged me...

 

[NeilF]

What is so hard to understand? Several thousand people complained about one of his acts of comedy, that would quite strongly suggest more than a large proportion of the country dislike his style of humour. Agree with that?

So if so many people dislike his style of humour it seems pretty odd that he won an award for doing something that people dislike

Groan... 0.05% of the population get rounded up by newspaper to wave their joyless ***** pitch forks around. Which leaves the other 99.95% of the population with two brain cells to rub togethor

No swearing

Gilly

exactly

also OP has no one ever peed you and your family off ? you tend not to like them from then on so getting angry at them is a common occurence

Fair enough... But he contests the original matter was embarrassing, yet here he is stirring up the whole matter again.

Maybe next time, "no comment" would be the better response. Or, even better, how about.... "let's move on."
