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!
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!
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!
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
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.
@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...
Russell Brand is a legend, Bob Geldof on the other hand........ I hate him :-(. How dare he call Russ a c**t! It doesn't matter tho as Russ got his own back :). Good on ya Russ :)
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
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.
@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. :)
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.
I know, although you can hear the gaffuws just underneath the "oooohs...." Luckily, it has got the recognition it deserved - still referenced to this day... :)
@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.
He also appeared on vocals on 'In The Flesh' in the movie and film Pink Floyd The Wall. 2 different versions if you compare them. Not quite a case for career famine relief, appearing on one of Floyd's hugest albums & a totally unique cultural milestone.
@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
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.
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!
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.
Ohhhh, seems now that there might have been a lot more to Geldof's comment.
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
Russell isn't laughing tonight!
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!
Booky wook2!!!😊🤙
@@pauliedontsurf Who did he originally intend to offend?
@@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328 Shaun Ryder
That aged like milk for Russell Brand.
Nah Geldof is still a shoe gazing twatt
how so?

🤣🤣🤣
That dining out comment was so good! I think that's aged very well.
Just saying hi to everyone who's about to come here to watch this clip after the Channel 4 Dispatches programme showing it.
hi

Bob knew 😂
Best mates with Bono. Who loved Epsteins island. What a cunt.
And wasn't he proven right, 17 yrs later.
lol no. No he wasn’t.
😂 he was a dick tho with JR
@@SooperdooderYour comment hasn’t aged well pal
@@andrewbrockway5857 it still stands 👍🏼
There's no bigger cunt than bob geldof
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'..
And the truth will set you free
Bob can sense a c*nt when he sees one, well done
Bob can absolutely not sense a cunt. His life and relationships are/were a total shit show.
Brand isn't half the man Geldof is.
That makes no sense. You meant to say 'Brand *_is_* half the man Geldof is'.
@@vapeymcvape5000

That was a really good comeback by Brand. Touche!
It was a prepared.
@@vinnydurham8964 and pretty sh1te too.
Dude.... freak'n awesome!!!!!!
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!
I love watching this lol everytime i just think GO ON SON!
Oh dear…
Ouch i love both of these guys with all my heart this hurtididid
Bob Geldof was right
Absolutely
Half right. He forgot himself too.
@@DannyBoy777777😂
I think Old Bobby was projecting a little bit.
You are deeply misguided Philip. Your life is a mess
me too! thats the reason i looked this clip up again. Quality!
Looks like bob was right
Guilty until proven innocent? Put on your mask, please
Well, Bob Geldof knew.
the look they exchange at the hand shake!
regardless of what you can say about Brand - that comment was pure genius...
revol148 not really
Maximum Really.
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!
The 2023 Russell Brand documentary took me here
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.
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.
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.
Great comeback, it's true aswell!
Bob Geldoff calling Russell Brand what he is long before the documentary told us.
Russell. I love you.
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 😂😂
His buddy Noel was getting it on with Pixie, who was 16 at the time. (Noel was 33).
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.

well my friend russell wrote that line before the show because he knew that something would come up
xx

Brilliant analysis by Bob Geldof!
What's the back story here ? Incredible wit by Brand.
Hellcat+1
Both are renowned for being outspoken so its no great surprise
God Russell looks so pissed off at 0:52.
Great comeback, though.
:D
holy jeez taken in context that was a good line
Russell Brand is a legend, Bob Geldof on the other hand........ I hate him :-(. How dare he call Russ a c**t! It doesn't matter tho as Russ got his own back :). Good on ya Russ :)
sir bob - what a legend! and spot on about brand too! he can do no wrong!!
How well your comment has aged !
Just read about this in Booky Wook 2 and had to look it up lol.
Visionary
russell brand had the line ready just incase
it's on his live DVD he talks about it
@xXTheSockRockerXx Love it! Bravo!
haha, ahh man. you've just gotta love the guy :D
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
did anyone else read the booky wook 2 russel talks about this... so funny
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.
@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. :)
What's the song being played in the background when Geldof was walking to the stage?
Rocking all over the world - status quo
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.
Bobby gandolf looked like he was fuming as he dragged his miserable frame to the stage
i dont remember this in the broadcast, did they take it out?
Well thank you!!! :)
Good old Bob, thanked all the artists that made the most money out of it.
Was this before or after Brand and Ross made that insulting telephone call to Andrew sachs?
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 is this song in the backgound ???
its funny how midge ure never gets a mention for live aid 1 or 2
(may have spelt his name wrong
Mige Ure did all the real work for Live Aid - Geldof just hogged the limelight and has continued to do so.
Both have profited from a charity!?thats wrong!
i dont understand russell's owning of geldof (i know i must not get out enough) can someone please explain?
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
oh....thanks for explaining that.
This comeback is immense
Who's laughing now though...
If you are into weak, prepared shaky voice comebacks.
Yeah it was uncomfortable for both because Bob Geldof was pissed off with him. We've already established that. That's all it is.
I know, although you can hear the gaffuws just underneath the "oooohs...."
Luckily, it has got the recognition it deserved - still referenced to this day... :)
Russell Brand... I love you (:
@jnash2007 If you watch his Shame performance, in part 4 he explains how he thought of the remark
get in there russell. u fucking champion mate!!!!
0.51 I felt sorry for Russel for a moment. Than I laughed my head off.
@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.
was that ian brown at 1:12?

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😂😂
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.
I don't
Still feel sorry for him?
Is there a clip on you tube where Geldof begs for an award?
what exactly needs sorting out in Ireland?
Take a bow son
Can someone explain to me what Russell's response to it means? I dont get it.
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.
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.
That knocked the wind out of Brand.
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!
watching this again cause it's in Russel's new book :')

I've seen tomatoes sharper than Russell Brand's wit
Best comeback ever?
Bob Geldof..... what a card.
the thing is - bob geldof didn't come up eith the whole Band Aid idea anyway... It was Midge Ure from Ultravox who started the whole thing...
The Gandalf thing was a joke 'cos ya know...Russel is a comedian, hosting an awards show.
Doesn't mean he dislikes him at all.
Bob asked for that!
some comback from brand at the end under the pressure, whatever you think of him
i dont get it. what does he mean by boby gandolf???
@moosethemoochie I dont get it...?
@unknowndarkskins82 Bob Geldof used to be in The Boomtown Rats in the late 70s early 80s and "I Don't Like Mondays" was their biggest hit.
get um Russell lad!
