It was really nice of Russell to invite those people onto his show

I watched this and i conclude he has charm, jokes, good vocabulary, and I cant trust him around my girlfriend

When you put all your XP points into charisma.

A real life Jack Sparrow..Wish we could have him and Johnny in a Pirates Multiverse

"We are being invited to dislike each other." No one has summed up modern politics better.

This is honestly one of the greatest interviews I have ever seen

I know a guy the worked with him for a year and he said he's the most charming person he has ever met and empathetic humble guy who has respect for all people from any background, its not an act thats who he is

He operates on a completely different plain to most of us. He inhales oxygen but exhales genius. Lines that would take even the smartest, wittiest, funniest, most progressive people minutes to put together; he delivers as if an afterthought. I think he’s actually one of the most under appreciated minds currently operating.

I love how Russell is so unapologetically himself all the time. He does these interviews on TV and doesn't pander to their pre-written questions and answers, he throws the script out, entertains everyone around and tells the honest truth. We need more people in the world like Russell

Russ exudes the perfect mix of mischief, humour, articulate philosophy without ever being boring...he is so quick witted, profound and clever that he confounds everyone around him with such intensity that they become impotent mutes!

Is it just me or do other ppl come to this video every once in a while to feel good

This interview on its own could be a Netflix special. Absolutely hilarious.

he swears on TV, they all laugh about it and move on with their lives. I like Australia.

"I just saw you edit about 5 jokes in your mind". Peter nailed the wit of Russell Brand.

I now see why Russell is the way he is. And I love him more.

Good on them for recognizing that they have an enlightened genius on their show! They were all so playful and fun and didn’t criticize him for being himself. Love it!

I love that he always says people's names in interviews, i've realised he talks to the interviewer so personally. What a good guy

just realized he's a real life Captain Jack Sparrow

When an unstoppable force meets whatever it wants.

The speed of Russell's mind is the closest anyone has come to Robin Williams

I see a spiritual man who views the world as his playground. He understands life and the love it involves.

How am i supposed to study with all these russell brand videos?

Russell is both a dream and a nightmare on live TV. Endlessly watchable and wildly unpredictable in all the best ways, where he really shines out performing anyone trying to interview him. A ratings gold mine who would also prefer that people don't watch tell-lie-vision at all.

Russell is one intelligent man. I like the way he controls all of his interviews.

He said everything to Fifi in this interview that Waleed has been wanting to say his whole life.

Super quick and intelligent. Him and Ricky Gervais both are rare breeds.

RB cracks me up. Back then and now. His wit and intelligence ❤

Russel is always great but I want to give a cheer for the interviewers who I thought handled him in the best possible way.

I like they introduce Lara, than proceed to keep talking to Russell 😂

The end had me belly laughing and crying. I love how he has perfected the art of making people feel comfortable, but at the same time pushes the envelope.

It's impossible to not love him. It's a shame I'm discovering him only recently, since I was initially repelled by his image. Absolutely brilliant!

Wow, the speed at which perfectly constructed sentences flow out of his mouth is just tremendous. If I ever needed someone to talk on my behalf for my life it would be RB

his verbal ability is truly amazing for a comedian, quite clearly he should be writing books, he has the mind of a gifted writer

Russell being on any show/interview is those people’s favorite day at work. He’s one of those people that gives a one of a kind experience to everyone

Jim Carrey and him would be good banter back and forth if either could ever get a word in with each other. 😂

13:37 she ask Russel about taking celibacy, Russell just answers: “what time do you finish work”. Damn!

That was hands down the funniest, most eloquent show I have ever watched.... just become a huge fan of Russell Brand

“You don’t have to keep up with me. You’re perfect”. He’s so sincere

his interviews from 2005/6 are even better

I love how he always makes to sure to engage everyone in the conversation. Even the audience.

Seen him live and he was 45 minutes late, no one cared 2 mins in as his energy and amazing spontaneous wit just captured the whole arena, amazing person and wish him all the best in his ride through this short life we all try to enjoy.

The REAL crime is that some people are trying to quell the improvisatory and comedic genius of this great man.

This guy was addicted n now he is addictive... I can keep watching n listening to him over n over again... :)

i love Russel, i applaud people that are real to themselves,that can swim off stream without care or guilt and still do their thing.

Never a dull moment with brand around. The way he infects people with laughter is really a wonderful gift to those around him. We could all learn from him.

Russell Brand is like me when my confidence is at its peak but then he forgot to come back down

This is the best interview ever conducted on Australia television 😂

Gotta say I don't watch TV but this was brilliant. Russel Brand is so loud, funny and intelligent. Russel Brand for PM

The Waleed guy seemed to be the only one able to keep up.

He's done a huge amount for the substance misuse sector and become an absolute advocate for people suffering substance use disorders. Several charities have benefitted from him and in turn hundreds of suffering and recovering addicts. I've been to his cafe for meetings in the past. He talks so much sense these days about criminal justice reform for drug users. He's definitely worth paying attention too these days.

B.c of "recent events".. I somehow found myself going on Brand-interview binge. Currently on vid#4 and loving every quip😂

Russell Brand is a genius. He's got the answers loaded up before they're even done asking their questions. He's just on another level.

waleed ali did a really good job responding to the actual messages in russell's words. He was able to understand what he said and separate it from the sensationalism of his expression. it caught him off guard. impressive.

You can't argue with this mans brilliance.

The man is brilliant.

I've watched this interview MANY TIMES, and it STILL cracks me up big time

- Thank you for the gift, I'll use it however I want to 'cause it's mine now - What an amazing way to say "fuck your 'beauty shallow product'" and at the same time "I'll make you laugh about it so we´ll still be friends" Gotta love this man.

"you've opened a cafe, where you got recovering drug addicts working there" "They're unreliable!"

What a legend.

Russell never did what most people do while growing up.... lie to themselves until the inner child leaves for good, that's why, even though he doesn't follow protocol, people want to see and hear it instead of being offended. Gotta love him for it

I adore the bloke. met him and he was lovely.

dude is such a classic character!

russel is a damn quick thinker and so creative in his speech... plus he's just having fun and expressing himself, really inspiring!

The interviewers were actually being open to what he had to say . Great on them !

He's like Robin Williams was. You can't keep up with him. He's brilliant.

Ahh, refreshing!

Russell rules!

Still the best segment ever aired on the Project 🎉

Russell really dose take over every show he is on.

An expressive performance of unbridled genius, wit, enthusiasm, and love, for the ages. Thank You Russell Brand, you are quite a muse.

What a legend!

Lara Bingle is absolutely gorgeous, I had never heard of her before just now

How did he learn to speak ther way he does? Has he read and endless amount of books? I mean..I'm fascinated by every element of Russel Brand, but a lot of the times he says things I can't comprehend and words I've never heard before.

It's mind boggling how charming and captivating he is. BUT....he's so incredibly genuine. And you can always tell, no matter what he's having a go at, that he's a truly ethical caring honest person. I wouldn't trust a human being who genuinely disliked Russell. Such people do exist. And I'm not keen on being kin to such people. I'll stick with those of us who get Russell and appreciate a human being like him even exists. It makes life incrementally more worth living just knowing he exists in it.

His accelerated eloquent deliveries are like opera to my ears, extremely funny and educational in our fractured social connect.Genoius.🤓

If Russell was on this show more often, ratings of the show would quadruple.

What's so impressive is how quickly he can process and articulate without pauses; no, 'uhmms' or 'ya knows' or 'wells' ... only coherent, precise, descriptive dialogue, at bullet speed. It's insane. He has more going on in his brain in 5 minutes than I do all fuckin day. And as if that isn't enough, apparently he has the sexual appetite and energy of a satyromaniac. Oh, and Ms. Perry has implied he's packin'. Talk about having it all ...

How anyone can dislike him is beyond me- unless he is telling them the truth they don't want to hear

THIS MAN IS A GENUIS. ❤💣🔥💥💥💥💥💥

They have never laughed like that in their lives! Great show!

Wahlid is literally the only guy I've seen that Russell has had some mutual respect for his intellect

I saw this like 20 times already. Is just amazing what Russell can do.

Jeez, he’s like a juggernaut when he gets going! No stopping him in full swing...

That was hilarious & completely inoffensive…

Translation: “You didn’t bring me a GIFT, you’re using me to promote your crap. And this is what I do when people do that”..

Russels use of the tanning cream shows a hilarious passive aggressiveness towards product placement

I loved how he killed the product placement at the end .. brilliant 😂

I love this man. Exudes charisma, wisdom, and free thought. A powerful voice.

This man can light up a dull room with his humour energy and charisma, he's quick witted

just a pure legend, Russell should have his own Breakfast show and afternoon and night time

Please note this is a FUNNY GUY A GENTLEMAN AND HUMOUR WAS ALLOWED. THIS IS BEFORE WOKENESS AND PRONOUNS AND WHEN PEOPLE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOUR - AND UNDERSTAND COMEDY AND BANTER !!

He took the whole panel and the audience in the palm of his hand...what a genius man..!!

the guy has charisma... cant hate that

Its like a perfect ratio of testosterone and estrogen in harmony with his wit and infinite knowledge delivered in a wave cool calm collected and perfect comedic timing that makes him so intriguing

Russell Brand exhudes such extraordinary confidence and free spirit (sometimes too much and he tends to forget he's in a news talk show), witty banter, quick-witted, spontaneous, a towering/commanding/overbearing figure (depends on how you look at it), articulate, charismatic, and such a natural. Wowww.. and Fifi Box is freakin gorgeous.

Have you ever wonder what a dictionary would be like if its on cocaine? Just kidding, Russell Brand is awesome.

Find it interesting how a lot of presenters (and audience members) from many talk shows worldwide seem to laugh at Russell Brand at moments where he's obviously not intending to be funny. I feel in his interviews he raises serious political/social arguments and adds jokes to his conversation to not let it "get too deep" and to keep people listening and enjoying listening (and he can be extremely funny). From what I understand, however, his overall goal is to send a positive message to the world and ask for people to help change society for the better. I hope one day people can start taking him more seriously and will realise that what he's says may seem strange to be spoken on a talkshow, but is really raising the questions that we should be raising more. Just because his main profession is a comedian, doesn't mean all he says is intended to be funny and laughed at. WHY is it so dam hard to get people to listen, be affected by, and act on what's TRULY IMPORTANT. Just because its a talk show with comedy doesn't mean we should hold aside the important stuff because we want to keep thing funny.

It’s not just Russell the panel is really good for facilitating and going with it, so rewatchable 😂❤

I keep coming back to this.. legendry interview.. Love Russell

"I'm confused about everything, I'm still back on what time I'm off work..." Translation : I'm so down Russell...
