Also, yeah, called it:
Sacha Baron Cohen was always trash and always will be.
Remember when SBC uncovered a child trafficking ring and instead of going to the public with it, he promptly went to the FBI who proceeded to classify everything and take no action?
Wait what?

But he was so distressed he dropped the skit from his show. He was actually willing to sacrifice his content, or imho his art, because it’s just that amazing. If that doesn’t display his upstanding character I don’t know what possibly could.
What a fucking piece of shit
I thought he was good… Borat always seemed to me to be an interesting way to unearth how banal and rampant racism and bigotry in America is. His IDF character in Who Is America I thought was there to highlight how psychotic Israeli Zionism is… Guess I was wrong. What other shitty things has he done?
Remember Borat’s home town in Kazakhstan? It was a Roma village he conned and made a mockery of; they were justifiably upset. If I recall correctly, I believe he also traveled there with guards who treated the populace pretty harshly.
Holy shit, I thought that was staged and those people were actors! I feel really naive.
turn of the century polar explorers wrapped up in furs pulling sledges of supplies across a thousand miles of ice
one of them lifts his goggles and squints, his vision swimming from snow blindness
there it is, just on the horizon! the coldest take
A miracle of discovery.
What kind of sick fuck tries to make a living by playing up caricatures of other cultures and criticizing them for their rude, backwards ideas and behaviors?
Oh well, anyway. Join me, next week, for Funny Armenian Guy, where I - Sasha Baron Cohen - pretend to be a guy who really hates the Turks for some unclear reason. I’ll go all through rural America and laugh about how they live and how much its just like the bigoted description of some gross stupid foreigners we all hate.

Real Viva Variety hours
I beg everyone please stop using Cyrillic characters as substitutions for latin letters
In this case it fits since the original Borat poster that this is satirizing did that
Fdshy celebrities iee their maeesioees callieeg for more ceeesorship & more geeeocide

Sneyapovul Diyayies
What do you mean? Kohuept Is my favorite Billy Joel album.
biggest antisemitic movement since the nazis
This argument is actually antisemitic because it ignores the real neo nazis marching the streets of the US and Europe and have billionaire and political backing. Absolutely insane ignoring the real threat to Jews while getting mad at teenagers who don’t want genocide to happen in another country
Not surprised about Lovitz
The best thing he’s done besides The Critic was beating up Andy Dick
I enjoyed him in News Radio.
TikTok > YouTube
Change my mind.
It has less of the elitism of YouTube, it’s more “flat” in terms of who the biggest content creators are, and it’s easy for anyone to become big there (which is just fine by me because the alternative is that a few YouTubers are ensconced in their position and can’t be “canceled” or held accountable for some of the shit they do). In addition, I just feel that YouTube videos are waaaaay too long nowdays.
I’ll never use TikTok because I’ll never forget Max Headroom’s warnings.
The execs — who are both Jewish — seemed aware of the criticism., the Times suggested. “Obviously a lot of what Sacha says, there’s truth to that,” Presser said, while maintaining there was no “magic button” to fix it. Still, he conceded: “We can do better.”
:sicko-wistful: What happened to tiktok being run by the CCP
Baron Cohen has always been a reactionary. He got famous doing black face
You think someone who does biting satirical comedy about us foriegn and domestic policy would know better…
You gotta wonder now if it was satire or an exploitation film…
Y’all remember when Sasha was making you laugh at people who were OK with Iraqi children dying in the crossfire for being absurd human beings?
