Damn, bad take

This is such a weird and bitter attitude. Why would you think the well has run dry after a single 80 minute movie 15 years ago that directly responded to the culture around it? Seems like that’s something that could be gone back to forever. 

VERY NICE!

People were still on high alert around the time of Who is America. Matt Gaetz and Bernie sniffed him out right away. It was the total idiots like Jason, Spencer, Palin, Arpaio, Roy Moore, Jill Stein, Rohrbacher that fell for it. Considering that we have lots of total idiots with the memories of goldfish out there, I…

It was fucking hilarious. Don’t be ashamed.

I read that as closeted Trump supporters and you know what I’m okay with him getting Pence.

Also, to be fair, the “wow, can you believe people are actually this stupid and horrible when they think they’re talking to someone sympathetic?” shtick probably worked a lot better when there weren’t literal nazis brazenly marching down the street and white supremacist fascists in the white house. But maybe he’ll go…

I mean, his version of Kazakhstan pretty much was fictional in all but name.

I mean, isn’t filming it in secret kind of the point? Hard to lure people into saying things under false pretenses if you make the true pretenses widely known beforehand.

(Also, to be fair, the “wow, can you believe people are actually this stupid and horrible when they think they’re talking to someone sympathetic?”…

Liked?

i think it’s a deleted scene, not in the actual movie, but this still fucking cracks me up

Me too and I’m going to allow this. I’m sure it will be a little disappointing but like “Who Is America” there will be a few amazing moments of unique brilliance.

You kidding? Is good grammar.

“It’s also worth considering the fact that Baron Cohen is noted prankster...”

Huh, so I guess you were wrong. 

What more exactly would Cohen need to do to prove his motives are “A”? 20+ years fearless infiltration and provocation of right-wing racist assholes and their organizations isn’t enough?

The context of the whole thing is him pretending to be somebody and making everybody else show their true colors. Not that he believes what he’s singing. Are you that dense?

It should be seen as a clever troll- it even elicited a “they were paid actors!” response out of one of the attendees in regards to people singing along. It’s their apparent go-to response whenever something demonstrates that they’re actually the morally reprehensible ones (see: their claims about school shootings).

Um, A. Because context matters. 

Given what people know about Sacha Baron Cohen, and his well publicized gimmicks and how he despises the right-wing, it should be taken as clever trolling.
