Sacha Baron Cohen

Post by Devils_Advocate » Sun Jun 28, 2020 10:54 am

Sacha Baron Cohen trolling the US right wing nutjobs like only he can. Dont care what you think of him but you cant deny he must have the biggest balls in comedy to do the mad stuff he does

Yesterday he infiltrated the Washington 3% (local right wing militia) event in Olympia. A last-minute big donor (Sasha's guys) paid to sponsor the event, and hire security... and then that security kept the organizers from getting on stage to stop Cohen. They also blocked the generator so they couldn't cut the sound

When the people at the event realised what was going in on they tried to rush the stage and attack him but the security team got Sasha into an ambulance they had parked at the back of the stage and made their pre-planned getaway

The "Who Is America?" programme he did, I thought was very very funny with some of the people he was interviewing.

Hoping this might be for a new series and not just a one off. I think this was my favourite scene from the first series

Just what America needs right now.

More division and controversy.

Right wing nut jobs will always be the same.
Left wing nut jobs will always be the same.

Lets hope this doesn't start any violence/troubles.

What a pile of sh1te. There is absolutely nothing comedic about it, nor is there anything from your description above shown in the video you've linked.

Whatever floats your boat when it comes to comedic tastes but as for the second bit what are you on about you fool. What I wrote was to give the context behind the video clip.

If it was all in the video then I wouldn't have had to write it out now would I Einstein

The icing on the cake is that he came back and filmed the interview with the organiser

What you wrote was a description of the content of what we were about to see in the video if we clicked the link, if your post intended to give context, then simply say so you 'fool'.

I can’t stand him or his schtick of tricking people. It’s essentially bullying.

Given that he chooses people who clearly deserve to be lampooned as his targets I have no problem whatsoever. Just watch the "A Mosque for Kingman, Arizona" clip linked above...by showing people like that up for what they are he's effectively shining a light on idiots which make it likely that the audience will see them for what they are and realise how ridiculous their attitudes are.

Perhaps but there is a lot of whipping up and editing I’m sure. Not all Ali G’s subjects were worthy victims and many of them were deeply personally affected by being tricked on the show.
