Who Is America? (Sacha Baron Cohen's New Show)
« on: July 15, 2018, 07:43:56 AM »
Ok I am watching this and it is legit hilarious. His first interview with Bernie talking about moving the other 99% into the 1% was so stupid  :lol.





I'd advise you all to watch it, it's funny as hell.

This show is all about dolphin cuckolding now as well

Also, should we give guns to three year olds and train them to be anti blink 182 and anti terror?

Hope it's good, the Ali G bit at the Oscars made me miss his shows. His standard comedy flicks were meh.

The guy in the thumbnail was pretty good on the Opposition with J.Klepper. I think that's when he confronted the crisis actor playing Alex Jones.

dahell is with the rollout of this? i figured maybe they dropped the first ep early for free to build hype but looking at Showtimes site it seems like it's still behind the paywall. i wonder why they put it up online ahead of the premiere. i guess maybe it makes sense since more people can watch during the day? idk, odd

just finished it. seems to lean on gross-out stuff a little more than i expected from a politically themed show. the end bit was wonderful though. the 'blink 182' line in particular is incredible

It's an exaggerated 'comical' voice. However, his mother is Israeli so you would think he has some idea of how it sounds.

That said, I think his schtick is getting a bit tiring now. I think the part I liked the most was his walk.

Watched it. It was funny. It's always funny to see dumb people get caught and then whine about getting caught.

The gun segment was classic.

There are always these little small bits of wordplay or little small elements that make these bits

watched; it was ok? I mean, his characters ranged from alright to pretty good (I thought the NPR dude & vet were the most effective cosmetic jobs)... but I feel like we're in a media age now where we don't need characters to expose the insanity of politics/modern culture; we have twitter now giving us a direct tap to our veins.

also this better culminate into a trump interview with a special one off character. :bolo

I think some of you guys are susceptible to hyperbole. There is no one going on Fox News and saying we should arm kindergardeners. By giving them a little push and encouragement, he is exposing some fools. After all these years. SBC is a genius!   :heartbeat

Yeah but the shock value isn't really there. We've heard so much crazy shit over the last 3 years that all of that stuff was already within the realm of possibility.

They probably previewed the Israeli segment because they knew it was the best. But I guess that sent some wrong signals about what SBC does usually. Sometimes you get political commentary, but other times it's just him asking people preschooler questions that don't aim for any particular meaning other than being dumb. This might not become as classic as HBO's Ali G, but so far it was good enough for the humour I expected and missed from him.

I know you haven’t seen the segment yet, but at least at the moment it doesn’t sound like you have regrets.

I don’t. He duped me? He made me the fool? Am I supposed to be upset? That’s okay. I don’t care. Sacha Baron Cohen doesn’t impress me. I’ve been with billionaires, and I’ve been with bag ladies. No one is better than the other. It will come around and get him. These things always come around.

Whatever works for you.

I don't torrent anything nowadays though. There are enough free apps that basically achieve the same effect as netflix without having to expose yourself potentially to the same legal issues involved around torrenting. I even prefer a solution like megalinks by comparison which is also a better legal option and then stream it from whatever device to your TV. But I don't want to turn this thread into a best ways to pirate TV nowadays. Lots of easy ways to google that.

just an fyi to anyone who wants to watch stuff and doesn't wanna bother with torrents cuz of hd space or whatever; you can just search 'show name s01e01 (s meaning season number, e meaning episode number of what you're looking for) streaming free' and you'll find a bunch of sites with basically every show or movie ever. granted you have to watch it in a browser but if you wanna throw it on a tablet it works fine

I really liked the contrast between Billy Wayne Ruddick and Dr Nira Donatello or whatever. Sure, they were heavy pastiches of other characters, but I loved watching Cohen draw on Tambor and David Cross, and the old school camp as hell Republican couple were perfect. "dont judge honey" :lol couldn't be more supportive of simple messages lampooning the idiocy and solopsism of the left and right in 'murica.

I think my favorite Cohen skit was from one of his Beitish specials when he’s like interviewing some police dude that clearly thinks he’s doing some sort of special about the dangers of drugs, and he starts asking if it’s legal to have a couple of kilos of hash for personal use and if LSD can actually make you fly.

this sorta reminded me a bit of the scene in Borat where he attends that dinner and tries to do everything possible to make the people offended and utterly fails to where he basically has to bail out of the scene

i'm sure they talked horrible shit about him after he left, but i always thought that was one of the more effective parts of the movie even if maybe unintended or not what Cohen wanted...the frat brothers' scene was kinda similar in how much they accepted Borat

i mean, that's a lot of Cohen's stuff, seeing how far people will go with his absurd characters, but i like when it fails in, comedic terms, the opposite way into where the joke gets reversed onto him...like Bernie's thing was it failing to basically nowhere since Sanders basically wasn't even playing along

I don't think it failed when the stupidity of his characters is funny enough. You didn't get "exposure" out of every Borat and Bruno skit, plus Ali G was always just dumb and I think there was only two times people walked out of the interview.



Dude doesn't seem too upset either, but it's still hilarious.  :doge
