Russell Brand & the Gallaghers - Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Russell Brand gives a wink to his old chum Noel Gallagher by introducing a comment of his own in the script of his first Hollywood blockbuster appearance.
Russ said: "I have paid tribute to Noel Gallagher in the film. I hope he will be flattered to be mentioned in the context of an American film rather than the usual treatment from news reporters over there saying, 'The Gallagher brothers disgusted viewers today when they spat at a child.'"

I'm American & I got the reference right away. I knew about Oasis long before I knew about Russell Brand.

How can you not like Russell Brand?

[@MedalionDS9]

Fucking A... I had no idea there was an Oasis... or at least a Noel and Liam reference in this movie. Brilliant, and Kristen Bell ftw :)

haha. this made me chuckle when i watched the movie. i saw it with three friends and i think i was the only person in the whole theater who knew about the gallaghers. still a cool tribute by brand.

Wonder if there'll be another Oasis reference in the new movie Get Him to the Greek?

I laughed out loud when this came up at the theater and everyone looked at me all weird :(

I can't speak for all Americans so I'll just speak for myself. I did NOT get the reference but, I wasn't confused about the scene. I laughed at the context -not at the name dropping. Also, I feel that Russel Brand is quite possibly my favorite 'Celebrity' alive today. There is nothing about this man that I dislike. I also feel that he's a refreshing alternative to all other popular people that represent my generation on stage and in movies. I hope he comes back to NY so I can see him live.
