So Russell Brand, An Elephant, And Britney Spears Walk Into A Warehouse...
Posted by Seth at 3:35 AM on August 13, 2008
Feast your eyes now upon those buzzy promo spots for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards—featuring host Russell "Big in England" Brand, 2007 VMAs catastrophe Britney Spears, and a giant elephant in the room (not white, but you get it). 10 first impressions:
Feast your eyes now upon those buzzy promo spots for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards—featuring
1. Britney looks good.
2. Britney isn't chewing gum.
3. Britney is relaxed.
4. Britney doesn't appear to be pregnant.
5. Britney is good at covering up signs of fear and/or repulsion.
6. We're amazed she didn't say, "What's a surname?"
7. That hairstyle is atrocious. (You decide which.)
8. We believe she truly has no idea who Brown/Brand is.
9. She notices a passing resemblance to K-Fed at the :39 mark.
10. The elephant appears to be fantasizing about scraping saucy-British-comic out of his toes.

The real elephant in the room is why a cable network that has nothing to do with music videos, is hosting a video music awards show.

Is this supposed to get me to watch? If so, nice try. I figure Russell Brand is about as much of a draw in the U.S. as Ant & Dec.

11. The elephant is wondering what that awful stench is in the room?

The elephant's a nice touch ...
Because if you can't make fun of a young mother's alleged bipolar disorder/postpartum depression, then just what CAN you make fun of anymore?
First impression: Welcome back, Britney ... and give 'em all hell ...

Wait, there's an elephant in the room! It impossible to ignore. You try and try to look the other way, but you just can't. It is uncomfortable to watch because it doesn't belong there, it isn't ready, and you feel bad, but you still watch. You worry that something strange and bizarre is about to happen because the elephant appears uncomfortable and possibly unstable.

I find myself shamelessly rooting for Brit.
Don't break my heart like last time, bitch.
