In a new promo for the upcoming MTV VMAs, host Russell Brand tries to convince Britney Spears to sleep with him using old-fashioned mental telepathy.

Really, what guy hasn’t tried that over the past 10 years?

In the clip, a bikini-clad Britney Spears hears voices in her head, kinda like in 2007 during her British accent phase. Only this time, it’s Russell Brand’s.

The zany British comic, who can also hear her thoughts, responds telepathically with “Go to Russell’s hotel room. Abandon yourself! Sleep with Russell!”

Direct, but unfortunately for him, probably not effective.

Funny, though. Check out their MTV promo below
