Hey everybody, remember Oasis? They made two okay and one good-but-massively-overrated album in the 1990s, and the prick brothers who ran the band would occasionally stop punching each other long enough to proclaim themselves the greatest band since the Beatles. Well, the Brit Awards were last night, and Oasis’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? was named the best British album of the last thirty years, beating out nine other finalists that included The Verve (but not Radiohead) and proving that British music awards are just as unbelievably retarded as American ones.
Anyway, Liam Gallagher emerged from a decade of irrelevance with his gigantic ego intact to accept the award and make an eight-second speech that included an F-bomb before dropping the microphone and walking off the stage (video below). Yes, he actually did that. It’s no wonder host Peter Kay called him a “knobhead.” (I think that’s an insult, I’m not sure. Does Babelfish have a British-to-American translator?)

In related news, Republica was seen outside rummaging through a dumpster.
The Verve would have been sued by the rolling stones just for walking up there. Based on the “shortlist” which somehow didn’t include Radiohead or Ocean Colour Scene- I’d have voted the dire straights and the phil collins album ahead of Oasis. British people are dumb and they talk funny.
Paul Shirley was right — they ARE better than the Beatles!
(Also, fuck Haiti.)

While members of Elastica panhandled for change at a nearby bus-stop.
Chumbawamba demands a recount.
What about Madonna? She thinks she’s british, though I don’t know why any non Brit would pretend to be one.
Brits call their dicks “knobs.”
Kanye Wests find this lack of decorum at an award show to be revolting.
“Hey yo Liam, Imma let you finish, but … oh, you’re done already? Christ, that was fast. Nevermind.”
Radiohead is the greatest band since the Beatles. Even better than the Beatles. Yes, I said that. The Brits are dead to me. ‘Cept for you, Charlie Bronze.
He is not an A-hole, he is just British.
Remember when Oasis and Blur tried to do that East Coast/West Coast beef thing but instead of the drive-by shootings, they did the skipalong-by glove slappings? The Brits are so cute.
Something wrong with your nose, Liam?
Dammit … so many available overly-pretentious music comments, so little time.
How the fuck did they beat out Spice World by The Spice Girls?
This is bullshit.
Wait, wtf? Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot wrote and sang “Cum on Feel the Noise”
“proving that British music awards are just as unbelievably retarded as American ones.”
Bristol Palin thinks you could’ve made fun of Great Britain without making fun of her little brother.
God, i love that. After fluffing the potentially great “Razzle” line at the start, that “What a knobhead.” was majestic. Kay’s going to be knighted for this.
Radiohead – most overrated band of all time? I say yes.
To this day, I’m still waiting for Morning Glory to explain the story to me.
So, um. I’d take that over just about any other acceptance speech I’ve seen. At least he’s only a pretentious a-hole for 8 seconds instead of 3 minutes.
He’s lost without his tamborine.
Like most, i quickly bored of Oasis sometime after their third album, but their “Fuckin’in the Bushes” track – as used magnificently in the final fight scene in Snatch – still kicks ass.

Knibb High Football rules! Peace, I’m outta here.

Should I feel happy or sad that I knew who Noddy Holder was?
Attitude? From a rock singer? Heavens to Betsy! Don’t let the children see!
As someone who has been called this many times, ‘knobhead’ is just another way of calling someone a ‘dickhead’.
I really hate Oasis for the way they act, especially Liam. Noel can be a twat, but he does other things that offset it, but Liam is a dick 24/7.
I love Oasis. They’re my 2nd favorite band after NOFX.
The others on here are right- knobhead = dickhead.
Noel is one of the best songwriters of our time. If you only know Wonderwall like most Americans then STFU because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Anyone want to internet fight me about it? Like I would be able to convince anyone of something so subjective.
What no love for Neneh Cherry?
*OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows, combined, outsold every album ever recorded by all the nominees for this award combined. And In Rainbows was free to download, they just took donations for it, for fucks sake. And Radiohead is not even nominated? Ur doin it rong.
*probably not true
I still love Oasis. The Gallaghers are arrogant, brash and slightly mental rock stars – would you rather they be wusses like Fall Out Boy or something?
One thing is for sure though – Noel’s the brains, Liam’s the twat.
“two ok albums?” you worthless fucking maggot dick fucker. those two albums are better than anything your fucked up retarded bretheren could muster in half a century and are the epitome off rock and fuck off and die roll. i hope you die in a fucking fire you utter utter CUNT.
but, after morning glory, yeah, they were a bit shite…
+1 bye bye birdie reference
