losprince: I love his style of comedy. It's often cringe-worthy, and unconventionally hilarious. |

Ishilove:Sacha Baron Cohen trolls everyone in the guise of his alter egos. Gays, heterosexuals, liberals, conservatives, feminists, etc. In Bruno, he trolled the LGBTQI community just as much as he trolled everyone else. The genius of his trolling lies in getting people to reveal their true colors. The really freaky part is that he doesn’t even hide the cameras. These people know they’re being filmed, and yet, they still say and do stupid things. After which, some of them will attempt to sue him. Crazy. |

KoiceReloaded:Did he troll the LGBT community? The impression I had was he was being pro gay. He was making fun of society's stereotyping of homosexual people, and the belief that they can be 'converted' to heterosexuality. |

losprince:I'm not homophobic. I'm just VERY unrepentantly anti-gay. ![]() I just wasn't comfortable with all the depictions of gay sex, whether caricature or not. |

KoiceReloaded: That's what I love about them, everything is happening in real time, and it often reveals the hidden and prejudiced nature of the people in them. You'd have to be extremely stuck up not to laugh at any of the shenanigans. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 7:59pm On Sep 11, 2019 |
Ishilove: The LGBT community criticized him for "perpetuating LGBT stereotype whilst simultaneously enlightening institutionalised homophobia issues", so yeah. He certainly trolled the LGBTQI community. |

KoiceReloaded:The sueing is the craziest part. When I read about the case of that kid from borat who scampered when he tried to kiss him, it invoked that particular scene in my head and this time the laughter was more uncontrollable. |

Ishilove:I understand you completely, and that's what the homos and the homos right police fail to understand. Most people are just uncomfortable seeing that stuff, it irks honestly, and most don't mind people being gay they just don't like seeing it on display. 1 Like |

Ishilove: From his Wikipedia page Baron Cohen has been criticised for the racist or prejudiced comments his characters have made (see Da Ali G Show). HBO spokesman Quentin Schaffer has replied to criticism concerning Baron Cohen's characters, "Through his alter-egos, he delivers an obvious satire that exposes people's ignorance and prejudice in much the same way All in the Family did years ago."[65] Regarding his portrayal as the anti-Semitic Borat, Baron Cohen says the segments are a "dramatic demonstration of how racism feeds on dumb conformity, as much as rabid bigotry", rather than a display of racism by Baron Cohen himself.[66] "Borat essentially works as a tool. By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice", Baron Cohen explains.[23] Addressing the same topic in an NPR interview with Robert Siegel, Baron Cohen said "I think that's quite an interesting thing with Borat, which is people really let down their guard with him because they're in a room with somebody who seems to have these outrageous opinions. They sometimes feel much more relaxed about letting their own outrageous, politically incorrect, prejudiced opinions come out."[67] Baron Cohen, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, says he also wishes in particular to expose the role of indifference in that genocide. "When I was in university, there was this major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw, who said, 'The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.' I know it's not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust, but it's an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite. They just had to be apathetic."[23] Regarding the enthusiastic response to his song, "In My Country There Is Problem" (also known as "Throw the Jew Down the Well" ![]() |

KoiceReloaded:So it seems, but I have a low attention span that rears it's ugly head from time to time, shit caused me from going through with the sopranos and almost hindered me from finishing breaking bad. |

losprince:Sacha Baron Cohen, Seth Macfarlane and Dave Chappelle are 3 on my list of top 10 satirists that I adore, still wish Baron Cohen played Freddie Mercury though, don't get me wrong, i loved Rami's performance but he would have brought out something that Malek wouldn't. Sadly he was too old and not asian |

losprince:I couldn't have put it better. See, i don't give two flying fvcks what you do in your bedroom, just don't shove it in our faces and try to pass it off as normal because no matter how you try to rationalize it, the immutable fact is that it is a perversion of the natural order things and can NEVER be normal. It causes one's skin to crawl. If they like, be gay, if they like be bestial, just don't put that crap on public display. |
