I don't want to know about it. I thought Borat was shit. Bruno must have paid a lot of money to the media to support him. I feel like it's being forced on me. It's every fucking where. FUCK YOU BORAT!!!! FUCK YOU BRUNO!!!!

I feel a little bit better now.

i never found any of his personas even slighly funny, i see it as dull american shock comedy.

Yeah, me too. Never found it amusing in the slightest, just fucking annoying.

Everything before the Borat movie I found funny but I'm not looking forward to this bull shit.

I enjoyed Borat, so hopefully I will enjoy Bruno. Childish stupid humour, taking the piss out of dumb Americans.
My life gets too serious & some dumb humour is what I need to intervene @ times.

i agree, i find "Wipeout" that was on CH9 use to calm me the fuck down when i was stressed out. Something about stupid humor that makes me feel better. Hopefuly Bruno will be funny and not overhyped lameness

The Ali G show was great back in the day before they dumbed it down for the American audiences and then the Borat thing took off...and sadly, he has never looked back.

During the naked wrestling/chasing through the hotel scene I was falling out of my chair laughing, don't normally laugh that much to anything, Borat is one fucking funny character. But Bruno wasn't as entertaining on the tv show so I guess it could go either way.

Metallifux · « **Reply #11 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:32:42 PM »

I wasn't a fan of Ali G, in fact i thought it was to close to reality. But i thought Borat was fucking awesome, the way he exposed America's 'flaws' and Bruno is looking to be funny aswell.

nihilist · « **Reply #12 on:** June 27, 2009, 01:49:02 AM »

He was doing Bruno and Borat in the times of Ali G anyway.

And even I liked Ali G when it first started in England.

The tried-and-true way to ruin a TV character - give him a full-length movie.

Yeah, it's a laugh, little more. Anything that pokes fun at America (although it's not particularly hard to do) is amusing in my books. I talk with a lot of them online, and their general arrogance and ignorance is so bloody annoying.

How can it be that Gordon Ramsay makes a few out of place comments on tv and the media has a field day over it and basically rips into him saying he's sexist and insensitive.

Borat makes a movie full of sexist, biased comments on unsuspecting victims and it gets glorified on the big screen in Hollywood and dvd's and the media supports him. What is up with that?

Yes, I know Borat is acting but the actions aren't really that different are they? The biggest difference I see is that Gordon Ramsay didn't pay the media beforehand.

I absolutely resent being told via billboards, buses, taxis, ninemsn, television etc. "You loved him as Borat". Don't I decide that for myself? Well, the fact is I didn't.

Some people I spoke to about this think I'm over reacting but I refuse to be conditioned by this bullshit. There is a revolution coming.

ahahaha oh wow

Seriously, why don't you focus all that useful negative energy into something that isn't being a whinging bitch?

No he doesn't. Mass media like to market products aggressively, fucking deal with it the way every other person on earth deals with it; ignore it!

did any one see the interview in australia today

so good

Bruno might have a crush on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, but Australian men in general don't impress him.
Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego, gay Austrian fashionista Bruno, is in Australia for the premiere of his self-titled movie in Sydney on Monday night.

Facing the media in a schoolboy's uniform on Monday morning, Bruno gave the PM top marks.

"The reason I'm late is I just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like, uber cute," Bruno said.

"I thought Obama was like the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin.

"I did to him last night what Malcolm Turnbull has been trying to do to him for the last couple of weeks."

But he said Australian men's style left him feeling a little flat.

"To be honest I'm a little bit disappointed because I know 150 years ago Britain sent all their gay guys over here, so ich expected a little bit more flair," he said.

One other Aussie celebrity did impress Bruno.

"One guy who does dress well is Keith Urban," he said.

"I love him but I prefer him without the beard. What's her name, Nicole?"

just not cutting it for me, a bit stupid i think. and im pretty fuckn openminded.
Ali G, that was ferkin funny though.

Just seems like rehashing the same style 'jokes' under the guise of a different character for movie dollars. I think he's better off playing different random characters in other movies these days i.e. Talladega Nights

I find Gordon Ramsay pretty fucking hilarious, too.
