76. Brand is a worthless piece of dirt. His jokes werent even funny and he made Americans look bad. That Canadian who commented below by saying "p.s i knew then a bunch of u freaks would take offense to this" is just as big of a loser as Brand is. How would you like an American coming over to Canada and saying what a piece of crap country Canada really is. MTV lost tons of viewers with that humorless nonesense. I feel horrible for the Jonas Brothers as well. Maybe Russell Brand is just bitter because those kids have girls lining up to date them, while nobody will take a second glance at him. What a joke. Brand=Loser!

77. What an insult to Joan Cusack! Oh yeah & I just love it when people from OTHER COUNTRIES tell us who to vote for. I watched a total of 12 minutes of the VMA's which was whatever after Britney too long! Cuz he was not funny & looked like he was about to jump out of his skin. & he's fat & his hair is fug.

78. If only his whore of a mother had chosen an abortion, poor Joan Cusak would be spared the insulting comparison!

Posted at 5:59PM on Sep 8th 2008 by He was funny! THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS FUNNY!

82. HE SUCKED. I truly thought the whole thing sucked except alot of the singing/dancing. Everyone was so out of sink. Every presenter was looking around getting cut off. Very, very bad production and please don't bring him back. Let him stay over the pond and be funny. We have THE BEST commedians here in the US. Why didn't we use one of them? Very very poor executive decisions. Even my fav... Zac Efron looked out of place.

No, please don't send him back to his own country. I watch the British channels & I'm REALLY enjoying not having to tolerate him. Your country is bigger, he can get lost quicker. Please take pity on Ireland & don't inflict him on us again, I implore. :D

84. And to think he's even uglier on the inside. This is one Brit I wish would go back home!

85. Do people actually still watch MTV? I know I don't and didn't watch this.

86. He's a comedian and they poke fun at whatever is out there. Not everyone likes every joke they hear. As far as Brand poking fun at the Jonas Bros. they shouldn't have made such a big deal out of the rings. They opened themselves up for that one and Brand won't be the only comedian that pokes fun at them. The Jonas Bros. are in the public light and they should grow thicker skin and let it roll off their backs. Too many stars have bragged about their so called virtues only later in life someone spills the beans and everyone finds out they weren't as honest as they claimed to be. Its a double edged sword that bites them either way. Besides its my job as a parent to teach my children about values and virtues not the Jonas Bros.

88. I dont get it Russell, in the first few minutes you alienated half the American public, then slammed virgins. Whats up with that?

89. He totally SUCKED!!!!! His gimmick is his hair and bad teeth.........anyone can do that!

90. Here's a little about Russell that I found on the internet...

"He is a former heroin addict, sex addict, alcoholic and has had numerous run-ins with the police, having been arrested 11 times for public indecency. During the time of his addiction, he was known for his debauchery, a notable example being his ejection from The Gilded Balloon, in Edinburgh."

So, my question is - who the hell is he to be criticizing and demeaning anyone!
