Real or Scripted?Follow

The GF decided to watch the MTV movie awards, which sucked overall (Unless you love Twilight). However, Sacha Baron Cohen showed up as Bruno and well...

Put his junk in Eminem's face.

Quasi SFW, unless man thongs in Eminem's face will bother your boss.

Eminem seemed pissed, but not as pissed as when Triumph the Insult dog busted on him a few years back.

Real or scripted, I found it hilarious.

If you ever link to that website again I might have to kill you... if I don't kill myself first for reading some of it.

It's abominable.

I strongly suspect it was scripted.

My husband and I went to see "Drag Me To Hell" this weekend, and there was a preview for "Bruno." I didn't see much that would be funny about the movie.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I found "Borat" completely tasteless and moronic. "Bruno" seems to be a lot of the same. Personally, I didn't find this stuff funny when Tom Green did it, I don't find it particularly funny now.

I'm addicted to that site. That and CNN, I check on a daily basis.

Bruno was always my favourite character on the Ali G show. I'll watch it, although probably not at the cinema.

Having said that, I found Borat funny. And they're pretty much the same concept, just with a gay Austrian man instead of a straight Khazastani. I totally accept that it's a 6-year old's humour. I sometimes feel a bit dirty for finding it funny, but it's nice to feel dirty sometimes.

QFT, which makes me feel vaguely dirty.

I'm in the same boat. I only sat through Borat because a couple of friends insisted it was hilarious. There were parts here and there that were funny. Although I can't recall any of them now, which means they weren't really funny enough to stand out. Meh.

The running of the Jews at the start was the only part I really found humorous.

The style of humor is just not to my liking. It's "squirm-humor": you laugh a bit, but then squirm because it's really more uncomfortable than funny. Borat was like that. So was Religulous. They always seem like they'll be good until you start watching and go "Eh, I just feel bad for the victims of their pranks. I don't feel like a point was made, and I totally forgot to laugh."

That said, Bruno looks funnier than either of the two previously mentioned movies. I don't think I could stand 90 minutes of gay Austrian humor though.

I didn't find any of it uncomfortable, while I found a lot of it funny. It's not something that retains it's humor though. If you watch it a third time it's no longer funny.

I'm just too emphathetic. I don't find the majority of it funny because I just feel really bad for the victim. I wouldn't want people laughing at me if I were in that situation. It just makes me angry at the guy doing it more than anything.

Borat didnt look like a movie I could even watch baked... and I watched the remake of "The Time Machine" sober without walking out on it. I have no doubt the entire stunt was scripted, I know shocker right for MTV to script a drama? Smiley: dubious

I'm just not sure if I liked it because seeing Eminem get a facefull of *** turned me on like this one fantasy I've always had, or if it's the fact that he got what he deserves.

You can see the disgusted "OMG I can't get away from the man slowly being lowered onto me in a quasi-sexual position from THIRTY FREAKIN FEET ABOVE MY HEAD" look on Eminem's face about 30 minutes before the guy even gets close.

Not scripted at all.

The thing is, Eminem took a swing at the puppeteer of Triumph, but sat there with a face full of man junk & didn't do anything but push him away.

So I'm thinking scripted.

Borat made me laugh so hard I cried. Generally, it wasn't what Borat was doing that was all that funny, it was the people's reactions.

And his commitment to remaining in character is legendary.
