Russell Brand Doesn’t Take Himself Seriously and You Shouldn’t Either

Russell Brand's Pink Sock(s)

Hey, everyone! Lighten the hell up! Just because your famous doesn’t mean you can’t run around Hollywood wearing your girlfriend’s socks and your hair in a ponytail. Life isn’t about “being seen”, it’s about what doing what feels natural, especially if you’re a really wild British comedian!

UGH. Screw Russell Brand and his dumb socks. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is dating a pop star and being famous for screwing chicks and telling jokes not enough for some people? Do you have to walk around town dressed up like a rejected extra from the “Call On Me” video? I don’t hate Russell Brand, but these socks are too much. Too attention whorey. We’re supposed to look at the socks and then look at the man wearing them and say to ourselves “Oh, that’s Russell Brand.”, right? Why else wouldn’t he just put on a pair of ankle socks like everyone else in the world who isn’t a teenage girl. I mean, does he even know what the first thing that comes to mind when seeing pink socks is? (Don’t click that link if you work at one of those places that enforces the NSFW policy. It’s safe for my work, but I don’t know about your situation.)

  • Not trying to be a raging nit-picky bitch (but somehow still seem to come off that way anyway), but I just wanted to let you know before everyone jumps on your ass, that it should be “you’re” in the first line, not “your.” Just trying to help. :)

    • Thank you. That made my day, English grammar. It’s hilarious and possesive at once. Do these articles play any other game than “bitch” ?

        Dear Gossip Site,

        “First, go through the draft and make sure you didn’t use “your” when you actually meant “you’re,” because there’s already an 80% chance that you did…”

        …Then make hypocritical comments and defend them. Next make a day job out of self-hatred and jealously of human kind. After that, eat some children. After that, bully and intimidate readers. Finally wrap the whole thing in a pink bow, put on some socks and call it work.

        Do you feel like I felt during the twenty-five seconds I tripped and fell on to your bull -crap article? You might if reading the emulative spleen as follows:

        “I don’t hate you, I mean I wish you were dead, but I think I’ll prostitute the English language by lying ,for instance, politically justifying a perfectly plain illustration of malice by following it up with a contradictory statement to blatantly nullify the afore mentioned statement. Everybody else is doing it!

        Whaaa. ‘I don’t hate Russell Brand, but the socks are too much.’
        ———-

        Singular thought came to mind there:Why do I get the feeling you ,Gossip Garbage Site, hava never even darkened the door of Brooks Bros.?

        “Hello this is Gossip Garbage Site not Vogue Magazine ,how can I critique you!”

        Anyway, continuing emulative rant:

        “I’m so intellectual. I just make typos. They’re (there, their- choose only one) the same thing.

        …Going to eat some more kiddies and buy magazines and candy, bye now!”

        That’s how I felt reading your ridiculous article. Now please, go get los padres to dump your trust fund or something on you, so you don’t have to do this for a living.

  • Wow! Just when I think I know everything there is to know about obscure sexual habits…I learn something new. Pink socks. wow – who knew?

    Thanks Moll…your posts this morning are hilarious.

    I feel exactly the same about Russell – brilliant guy – a bit of a fame whore though. And oddly sexy – even with the socks.

  • I didn’t the pink socks thing either. Never will I look at pink socks the same way again…
    And I for one cannot stand Russell Brand. I don’t think he’s funny and he’s a major fame-whore. Plus, he always looks greasy, and that’s not my thing.

  • Just as an aside, a synonymous term for “pink sock” is “ass tulip,” and I find that absolutely delightful.

  • Manic-Depressive..he should marry my little pony parker and roam around frightening all the neighbors as bums begging for cash. They would take each other to work so they don’t have to kiss each other goodbye.

  • Those are west ham united soccer team shorts and socks. They’re claret (kinda purply red, similar to beetroot) but the photo’s colour is off. He’s a lifelong fan and from the looks of him was working out. It’s not a weird fashion statement, he’s just supporting his local club.

    • I love this guy lol
      ps: Unlike the shorts he is wearing, the socks have nothing to do with West Ham. They are just expression of his roseate fashion statement. (I would know, I hate Hammers with an unconditional passion)

  • Molls… I find it hilarious that you say the FIRST thing to enter your mind when you see a pair of pink socks is a prolapsed colon… kinky. LOL

  • Eh, I think he looks fine (and that’s fine as in “ok” and not “daymn, he’s looking fiiiine”). I don’t get the Russell Brand hate – he’s not half as much of a fame whore as he has the potential to be, and he’s always very upfront about his mistakes when he makes them.
    I think I’m just biased because I watched his interview with Frank Skinner the other night and his fabulous vocabulary made me fall in love with him a little bit.

  • Oh good Gawd…..is THAT really the very first thing most people think of when they see those socks?!? Time to start hoarding supplies and move into the woods away from the freaks! (As long as I still have Internet access anyways….)

  • he is just english. i dont think the way he looks is such a big deal over here, he just looks ridiculous like half the people living in this country

  • *Drumroll please*

    Maybe because…

    He likes them?

    Yeah, I guess that’s too much for your tiny little head to understand.

  • Have never heard that term and wish I hadn’t clicked on the link. Not everyone is from your neighborhood, Molls.

    To reiterate: Ew.

  • Just love Rusty – he can wear whatever he likes as far as I’m concerned. A sensitive, open, daring, devil may care lothario. XXX

  • RB is the funniest, sexiest living being alive in our whole universe, KP is the luckiest girl alive to have him as her bf. RB looks gorgeous in anything even pink socks, anyone who doesnt find him funny is either jealous or has no decent sense of humour, keep going forever RB

  • Wow. I just read the info from the “pink socks” link. Seriously.. that happens!?! I would like to thank you very much for forever changing my view of anything pink and tubular.

  • It’s not weird, it’s how men dress to play football (“soccer”), he wasn’t just walking around like it.

  • He is such a misogynist wanker!! Jesus freak and anti women too, I wish he could go F**** himself. Absolute cock. Besides brand you sexist misogynist. you may not need sex 5 times a day but women do. it is not all about yourself you old man, you look like a debauched male prostitute with sunken cheeks. you hideous male specimen. Katy Perry is non attractive and rough she is totally overrated and ugly, millions of FAR PRETTIER WOMEN AROUND whom do not have her $$$ but are still far prettier and more decent than that hag, nothing attractive about either of these degradingly ugly types anyway
