I was trying to avoid this because all I do is talk about Conan O’Brien all the time, but it seems like Bruno’s appearance on “The Tonight Show” last night (video below) is the big story today. I like Sacha Baron Cohen, and I’ll probably go see Bruno and think it’s really funny, but I’m over him constantly being in character. This happened with Borat, too. He went on all the late-night talk shows in character and told the same jokes and I was sick of Borat before I even saw the movie (which, of course, was hilarious).
Anyway, I don’t know what my point is. I’m just kind of grumpily rambling incoherently like Andy Rooney. “In my day you could appreciate a man’s body without being gay. And people who were actually gay had the good sense to pretend not to be. Gay used to mean happy. But all gay men seem to be happy, so I think it still works. Is this paint thinner or vodka?”

Is Andy Rooney going to become the Stath of Warming Glow? Because, like his Bro, I support it.
I am one of the few people in the world that didn’t find Borat to be all that funny. It had a few good moments but overall I didn’t get what all the fuss was about. I don’t care what the general consensus on Bruno is, I’m skipping it. And I’m skipping all the interviews too.
I haven’t seen Borat, and I was sick of Bruno a month ago. Just sayin’.
Am I the only one who thought his Ali G character was the funniest part of the show? Bruno and Borat are funny, but his Ali G interviews had me in tears every time.

LET’S GET BIZZAY!

I’m with ya PC. Borat would have been a pretty funny SNL skit, but for a two hour movie plus countless hours of Cohen parading the stupid character around the globe, it was way too much. I’ve seen about 40 seconds of the Bruno character and already feel like “OK, I get it” and can imagine what 99% of the movie is about.
Being really good at staying in character and being as outrageous as possible doesn’t make something funny.
Co-Co totally got a face full of dick.
I also thought Borat sucked. And I say that as a huge fan of Ali G/Borat/Bruno on HBO. It didn’t work as a movie. The genius of the TV show was the prank. But Borat was clearly acted/scripted (for most of it anyway). It also relied much more on cheap laughs and shock value than the TV show.
