Poor Ed Miliband. As if the old chap hasn’t had enough schtick to deal with over the past few weeks, now a clever clogs has superimposed the ex-leader of the Labour Party into a cut together trailer for Forgetting Ed Miliband (which you’ll probably recognise as being Russell Brand’s seminal work Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
The trailer follows Ed and Russell as they try to get over each other in the wake of the recent election during which Russell Brand endorsed the leader, only to take it back when Ed lost.
The whole thing is surprisingly touching. Ed and Russell fighting in the water, Cameron and Ed slapping each other over Russell Brand and, most hilariously, Ed refusing to acknowledge how upset about the whole thing he is while dancing with a luridly coloured cocktails.
Here’s hoping Russell and Ed can put aside their differences and work it all out in the end. And that the person who made the video finds full-time work soon because this video must have taken like, forever and ever.
