MTV Video Music Award host Russell Brand zeroed in on George Bush during his opening skit last night, but it apparently didn’t go over all that well with the Disney crowd.
Certain members of the audience were left stunned when the British comic cracked: “In England, George Bush wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors” and remarked about the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings. He also urged the crowd to “Please elect Barack Obama!” Oh, and he called President Bush a “retarded cowboy fella.”
The least pleased of the stunned stars was none other than Miley Cyrus. The Hannah Montana starlet reportedly did not “crack a smile” as she watched Brand’s Bush-bashing monologue.
Near the end, Russell apologized for his remarks, saying “I don’t want to (anger) teen age fans,” but that was only after when Jordin Sparks took the starge to defend the wearing of promise rings.

Oh Jesus! Get a sense of humor you douchbags.
As for Miley ho-bag….just look at her shit complexion under that 2″ thick crust of makeup. Is she 15 for 40?
Ugh.
I thought it was amusing.
ew miley has acne. why is she famous again?
Cliche and arrogant. There’s nothing new, original or funny about an entertainer bashing a non-leftist politician in a wholly inappropriate venue. They did it with Reagan too when he stood up to communism. It’s a tired act that arrogantly assumes everyone is as narrow-minded and unsophisticated in geopolitics as he is. We should be encouraging debate and diversity of thought, not hurling childish remarks at anyone who has the audacity to disagree. Of course, Brand isn’t even an American so he would be wise to keep his instructions of who I should vote for to himself.
WHY does Miley Cyrus always do that strange thing with her mouth??? She looks absolutely ridiculous trying to pout and be sexy.
HAHHAHAHHA!
Good one Briton!
Here the “always in denial” republicans fail to see the big pile of shit everybody sees as their legacy!
.
The hawk’s rapacious and extremely active leisse fair policies (the tip of their hypocritical iceberg) have made the USA a JOKE! Besides of letting the country fall into the biggest economical, educational, and political shit-whole EVER! Come on: medieval mentality in politics and social programs!
.
Yeah! so in denial , that they are still sticking to their guns (LITERALLY) since centuries ago!
Policies of centuries past for those incapable of analyzing anything, only memorizing a VERY FEW things from the past and of course ortodoxia in the bible and bed morals and then spiting them out as lessons enforced with bombs! Of course the lack of judgment and education of most of their base works wonders for those that engross their wallets in foreign wars!
If they feel so proud to have a pitbull as vice! How profund! Let the pitbul think for us!
Fuck Disney, don’t put those little douches on the show. Mtv needs to friggen get their format straight. The show was retarded again. Get a larger venue and have the peeps all perform in that area…the way it used to be. Lastnight sucked. They hav all these inexperienced Lamos interviewing like CRAP and the only other guy who can interview besides John Norris in a helicopter…that was so gay. The Jonas Brothers performance was fucking GAY, Pinks song is retarded as was her performance, I thought I thought I was watching a Pepsi commercial. The one rapper guy in the car was retarded, I thought I was watchn an American Idol “fake” commercial…..Rhianna was cool, Aguilera was too “broadway” stagey, Kanyes song was about a minute too long…I thought the record skipped….the song just kept goin over and over at the same tempo…LL Cool J’s little diddy w Travis and DJ AM was cool, as was Katey Perry’s. Tell Disney to stay out if it we don’t want those secretly whoring and drugging whiney brats at this show.
And Brand was the only thing that show had going for them.
Stupid remarks aside, he just sucked as a host. Not clever or funny enough for this show. He was the cliched British (I don’t know what to call him, does he have talent?) smartass. Muted the stereo whenever he came on after the first three appearances.
Republicans OUT! is the reason while political debate has failed in this country. When people like him assume that every single person that doesn’t agree with them must be either DUMB or EVIL, there’s no way to actually hold a discussion that doesn’t dissolve into yelling.
And as for Sushi, it’s funny how it’s always _other_ people need to get a sense of humor. I guarantee if Brand had dare say anything against Saint Obama the left-wing blogs would be raging.
And “off the wall,” there’s a reason why Disney dominated - because their fans are the only ones who still BUY MUSIC.
I’m liberal so the political jokes didn’t bug me but BRAND WASN’T FUNNY! He was boring and made me cringe because he was so bland! Chris Rock knows how to offend but he’s very funny! Russell needs to go back to Britain where they have very low standards of what is funny.
I didn’t watch because of Brand, He is not funny and bush bashing is so passe.
she is only 15 . . . her opinion in politics hardly matters and neither does brand’s since he isn’t even American.
First of all: WTF is this guy? And why does he wear LiLos leggins? At least he has a “fancy hairdo” as the bloody britons say. I hardly understood what he said; he was just flipping around, and mumbling in his painted beard. And, c’mon: Bush-Bashing is soooooo lame and soooo yesterday! Britons are either very funny, but then they can’t tell their jokes in tv. Or they are really lame. Sorry Brand, a really lame performance. I expected more for the 25th VMAs. Really disappointed.
I think Russel Brand humor is mean spirited..
I hate when foreigners come & trash our President.
that’s our job. lol
seriously..that guy is not funny & a dirty sex addict.
Russell Brand sounds just like the Geico Gecko. Bugged the crap out of me. The show was boring. I haven’t watched it in years and now I know I won’t watch it again….. such a waste of time. The VMA’s were cool when I was a kid….. or maybe they were cool to me because I was a kid….
If British humour is so unfunny, why was Borat on top of your charts for months. You should really stop paying to hear it then.
Your president IS a fucking retard. Your so blindly patriotic that you can’t even see how he has fucked your own country up. Having a go at president does’nt mean we hate your country, your government does’nt make your country the people do. Look i’ll play, Blair was a retards pet poodle, the worst priminister we have had since Thatcher. Oh noes I must hate England.
Elect your new PRO LIFE PRO GUN retard then moan about it for another four years and re-elect him again.
fuckwits
lol,
Thanks for the advice, though really not needed. I’m sure we can take care of our own country just fine and usually the rest of theworld as well.
You should save up your pounds so you can get out of England while you still can. You guys let in way too many terrorists who now want to bomb and kill you. Good luck in 4 yrs at the Olympics, it should be a real “fireworks show”. Those buses being blown up were just the tip of the iceberg.
Don’t worry though. As your countries ally will always help fight to get it back. It’s a role we’ve played to some acclaim I think!!
Jordin Sparks’s comment that those who have sex are sluts is way more offensive than anything Russell said.
Why did Russell have to say sorry for insulting your president? He’s a muppet and way more offensive stuff is said about him on TV anyway.
MTV is such a joke these days. I remember that they used to stand for something. The MTV Video Music Awards was something people talked about the next day. These days it’s a fucking joke. We have to put up with all these dumb starlets who have no opinion of their own. We have to watch “artists” who pretend to have a personality. People who can barely form a sentence. People who will be gone in 2 years. It’s sad, really sad.
17. “Blair was a retards pet poodle, the worst priminister we have had since Thatcher.”
Lol, Since you find it acceptable to weigh in on foreign politics I’ll do the same. History has proven Thatcher to be among the best leaders your country has ever had. I suppose a lefty like yourself would prefer Neville Chamberlain. I trust you’ve cracked a history book at least once or twice during your unremarkable existance and recognize him as the spineless liberal appeaser that chose to give in to Hitler rather than confront him.
Um, and he cut off Robert Pattinson!
EPIC FAIL.
I don’t like Bush either but I don’t like people from other countries telling us who to vote for
omfg, you americans! here’s a tip; explore the world and please stop taking yourselves so damn serious once in a while. you do know that rest of europe have had population with great culture before your land even began to exist on a map?
way to go russel btw!
I agree with you Linnea. It’s just entertainment for f*** sake! If anything I think Russell Brand was holding back!
