I thought it was ######ed, if that's what passes for funny in this day and age then my funny bone is in big trouble.

For me it's just seeing Eminem shown up that makes it enjoyable.

I thought it was hilarious, I have no idea about the "this day and age" stuff, but watching a homophobic ###### bag like Eminem getting a face full of ass was hilarious.

The reaction was what was so funny.

If Eminem wasn't in on it, then he'd have every right in my opinion to beat the hell out of him.

Howard Stern was a lot funnier when he exposed his ass on MTV.

If Eminem wasn't in on it... Bruno wouldn't be walking today. He looked up, and his 'bodyguards' let it go on way longer than it needed to. They wouldn't have been playing teather ball with him afterwords either.

Staged...

Probably since Eminem needs all the publicity he can get these days and by using him, because of his reputation, Bruno gets additional promotion for his upcoming movie.

Oh I'm sure that Eminem was in on it.

But really, to me thats the lowest common denominator of humor. Maybe I don't get this Bruno character, but I honestly thought it was one of the more ######ed things that I've seen.

I'll admit it, I laughed at some of the hijinx and antics of jackass, some of it, mostly the more spontaneous things.

I've laughed at well written and smart crass comedy.

But all this was was some guy who sounded ######ed, straddling a guys face. Whats funny about that.

I guess he figured it worked so well in Borat that he'd give it another shot.

I don't know if Eminem is a homophobe. Elton John got him off drugs.

Could be a d-bag though.

Yeah, it looks like Sasha Cohen has gotten lazy and slipped to the lowest possible denominator.

Have you seen any of the Bruno spots from the Ali G show before?
This wasn't very funny, but some of the stuff from the show is hilarious.

I would let Sasha Cohen stick her ass in my face all day long...


Sacha Baron Cohen? Not so much.

Cohen is definitely not the lowest common denominator humor. The absolute best at improv I've ever seen. He has perfect timing, never breaks character and can up the ante on anyone. He's a dick sometimes but he's one of the true comic geniuses in Hollywood right now.

Clearly Eminem was in on it. I was reading another article about it and they were convinced it was real, and that Eminem came off looking really homophobic.

If it was real, how does this make him look homophobic? What is a guy supposed to do in that situation, give Bruno's ass a lick? Because a guy doesn't want male ass in his face he's homophobic?

Anyways, wasn't very funny, a cheap publicity stunt by both Eminem and Cohen. I used to enjoy Cohen's tv show but looks like his time may have passed now.
