Word Sneak with Russell Brand

[jgmorgan]

This guy is really on the border of genius and insane.

[MaddisonintheSky]

"Mystical lands-"
"LIKE WHAT!?"

dead

[mebularnebular]

Russell Brand is the world's best conversationalist. I could listen to him for days.

[ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I'm thoroughly impressed by Russell Brand.

[Fahadalkithiri]

Russell Brand is a linguistical genius on steroids.

[devtheatomocbomb]

"This game makes me feel like I'm trapped in a prison of language. I'm in a vortex of words."

are you kidding me? It's like his mouth produces linguistic gold!

[muzosh]

He could've sneak all his words into 1 sentence if he wanted to.

[CasualJaack]

"its lovely that you brought the roots with you on your journey to the top of the show business tree" anybody else notice how genius this line was? amazing

[andromedalasso]

Few people know that Russell Brand is a legitimate wordsmith. He's got an honorary degree from a prestigious college because of his phenomenal way with the English language. Playing word sneak with Russell Brand is like playing hide the penny with David Blaine- chances are you're just not qualified. Either Jimmy didn't know who he was dealing with, or he's a smart enough host to know that Russell would spank this game and show people his amazing talent. Russell is one of the best writers of the day and far more intelligent that most people know or give him credit for. I love you Russ!

[jord]

imagine arguing with this bloke, would rip you apart lol

[europeanexperiences]

Jimmy: "from here to... to... mythical lands"
Russell: "LIKE WHAT?"
K. O.

[sandybear]

Russell's brain is so lightening quick. I love watching him...

[alexiz]

...Russell Brand is a crazy ass genius of a man....'nuff said.

[Imapurpleunicorn]

Russell Brand's quick thinking and talking amazes me. He never stumble on his words or hesitate. How do I learn that?!

[ihuang]

"brought the Roots with you on your journey to the top of the show-business tree" Beautiful. I have so much new found respect for Russell Brand.

[hjhall]

russell was really good at that. if we didnt see the words i cant imagine being able to pick which one was the sneak. jimmy however, smh, was painfully obvious.

[nooralz]

He's so smart and intelligent that his brain has literally switched him into sort of an insane, loud man that comes across as an idiot but really is just so clever that his brain literally stopped him from behaving like a normal man.


Basically he's wonderful and it's outstanding.

[Primaballrina]

I'm always impressed by how eloquent Russell Brand is. People might think he's annoying, but he sure is brilliant.

[OlemVolle]

Wow, that inspires you to expand your vocabulary doesn't it? He makes it cool to be smart again.

[taramilano]

Brand's language skills and vocabulary are unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen someone with such quick wit.
