Britney Spears Is a Moron: The Video

Here’s the Britney Spears promo for the 2008 VMAs, with host Russell Brand, whose last name she apparently cannot remember. I don’t know if they even scripted this thing. They probably just turned the camera on and waited, knowing full well that Britney would be unintentionally hilarious at some point.

I have to admit, though, she looks hot here.

  • BEET! I love ya’ but come on. It’s soooo Britney, I can’t help but love it. I love her, and you know you love her. The fact that she’s a moron is a moot point.

  • I think its funny, and her laugh makes me kinda wanna laugh…
    it doesn’t look like the rehearsed ones MTV usually airs o_O W/E

    wheres Phelps photo???
    I checked the page in hopes of seeing hotness!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

    Au revoir,
    Katyta

  • yea, this seems very improved-we’ve all seen briteny’s stint on HIMYM & she’s not much of a natural
    anyway, loved it

  • it was intenional, it a running joke in all the trailers. he gets called russell brown, and russel bland

  • Who is Russell Brand and what does he do beside look butt ugly. Britney looks great and on track —-and they wouldn’t need her there if anyone one knew who the hell this bad hair Russell was.

    It sounds like they were not introduced first nor did anyone mention his name a few times to her in the car on the drive over to the studio.

    I think his people are the idiots for letting this go out like this. It just highlights the fact that he is not a household word. If Britney can’t remember who the hell he is, why should we?

  • I think shes so cute, and she felt like he was weird. Because I felt like he was weird. Ive never even heard of him haha

  • i think they think it is funny that nobody really knows who that guy is… it’s not. inflation!

  • Could she be back? She looks great… would be a change for a while, and who the hell is Russell Brand? I don’t think Brit is the only one that doesn’t know this guy.

  • I think she looks amazing. And he doesn’t bother me so much. If I had never seen him before, I’d be more “What/who the fuck” about the whole thing, but I saw him in the Sarah Marshall movie (which I thought was hysterical) so, ok. Still not sure why that makes him the prime candidate for hosting the show, but whatever. It’d be better if she were hosting. Or at least co-hosting.

  • She’s so cute – I’m glad she’s cleaned up her act!
    And mercy – I want to brush that man’s hair!!!

  • I do adore you Beet.. But sorry, I LOOOOVE BRITNEY! I think she’s adorable & I hope she will overcome all the shit from her past.
    That dirty fuck she married made her crazy, (him & her shitty mother)
    I hate bad Mom’s. Being that I have a 2yr old, I hope I stay the course and just love my kid, not make her a fucking cashcow & then turn on her.
    GO BRIT!!! GO!

  • tp vero, what is ur problem? its just an advert, its scripted to purposely be funny… no need to hate on russell brand, ur main complaint seems to be about his looks and being relatively unknown, but the truth is, he’s huge over here in britain and ireland, cause thats where he’s from (notice that accent?) and most people know know anything abt him think he’s freaking hilarious.

    so please, stop hatin people cause u’ve never heard of them n dont like the way they look… next time, try finding out a bit more abt the person before u go dissing them.

  • Okay, I’ve watched this several times on a billion different websites…everyone go watch it again and listen to Brit-Brit say “Brand” the first time…you can almost here that slight british accent coming back and then the look on her face is like “Oh shit, the demons are back, clear that up, make it sound American!” I love it!!

    That put aside, I love Brit and I hope that she is making her come back, if not into the entertainment industry then at least back into life.

  • Double chin, her tits point downwards, she is still white trash, and is still insane.

    Her laugh is what I imagine crazy psychopaths laugh just as they are about to plunge a butcher knife into your head.

  • i don’t really know who the fudge russel brand is either, but id still like to have my way wit him.

  • aw she is so cute with her “OH GOSH” I luv Brit Brit, little did we know that she would be a comedic actress and fucking funny as hell!!!!

    I have no clue who this dude is, I heard he was from Some Sara Marshall flick, needles to say Im not the only one who didnt see this flick.
