They paid for cage fight, got gay love

I didn't like Borat- I thought it was annoying and sucked really- totally overrated.
But this, is hilarious. I don't want to like it, but I do.

The UFC is the number one sport in the gay community....this time fantasy became a reality. Well done

I wonder whose bigotry was truly exposed? The crowd who was lied to about what they were to see or the cohen fan boys who miss the point of his message by throwing out disparaging generalizations and showing an intolerance to other people's opinions.

If they weren't smart enough to read between the lines then, well they deserved to see the Super Gay Action.
And who cares if two guys were kissing?? If your son or daughter were gay would you throw a beer at them??

Sorry Samurai Dave, I couldn't understand you very well with all the self-righteous sniffing and turning up of your nose. You sound as if you are one of those educated elites to whom you so disparagingly refer. Being bigoted and ignorant has less to do with a college education and more to do with a general lack of character; just look at the current administration for clear examples that college education does little to change narrow minds.
Bottom line is, Baron-Cohen is balls-out funny at times, and he knows how to get people to reveal their ignorance with very little encouragement required on his part.

What I love is when Sacha Boren-Cohen does nothing more than put a microphone in front of these morons and let them hang themselves with their own idiocy and ignorance. Anyone with more than three firing synapses could figure out that they are being had, yet these guys are so indoctrinated into parroting what they have read that they don't have the intelligence to see they are being led on. Keep it up, Sacha, you are one of the best satirists in popular culture today!

Take that you stupid hicks. Maybe next time you'll read a contract before you sign it.

i almsot question the legality of this......isn't it basically a con? Or did he give their money back? Cuz.....I don't care what it is straight gay opera whatever.....if its not what i paid for id be pissed.

Sasha Baron Cohen, comedy genius and he has only just begun.

Bruno clip at start of this thread made me chuckle, bring on the movie

BIG UP...cant wait to see the movie

although cohen might come off as an elitist-
i think he is doing what many good comedians have done in the past.

Cohen is showing us how fucked up our culture is.
to watch the youtube clip of the guy threatening to kick his ass if he calls him gay, the spring breaker turning very angry over being on gay tv...

he is showing us how ridiculous these stereo types are and how our fear in the world is what perpetuates it.
its really not cohen that is funny- its our culture we have created.

I love how Cohen exposes the american public for what they really are.. a bunch of biggoted, ignorant fools.

"Morality laws"

WTF?

It will definitely be outrageous

The sexiest comedian on the planet

HAHAHAHAH OH MAN GOOD ONE SASHA HE ALSO DID BORAT I CANT WAIT FOR BRUNO ITS GONNA BE FUNNY ASS FUCK

awesome

very nice.....I like.
Me and my boyfriend will go see homo erotic movie film.

Balls of steel

Baron-Cohen is a douchebag. I love almost everything he does (as far as Da Ali G Show is concerned), but he's still a douchebag. Most celebrities are!

I think it's hilarious as hell about the hoax, and wish I could have seen the reaction, but I do agree with those that say they'd be pissed if they had been duped (but not necessarily because it was two people of the same sex kissing, moreso about not being able to take advantage of the $1 beer).

For example had I been told I was going to see a free Erasure concert and there would be $1 Imports, only to be subjected to Toby Keith in concert with $1 Keystone Light, I would have had a bad reaction too. Not because Keith is straight & a douchebag or even the country music, moreso because there's nothing better than drinking $1 imports and dancing to Erasure as you lip synch (and Keystone Light reeks!).

P.S.
Those of you "defending" the South as though it were the Confederacy and this were Civil War times, get over it. I usually consider anything in the South that is to the West of Central Texas as "redneck". I only do because usually your told where the ghetto "black" or "latino" neighborhoods are so you stay away from them. When you travel through the South, you're told which rural routes and streets to stay off of if you're
"colored" because you might "run into trouble" with the "local folk". That's pretty damn "redneck" to me.

I wonder if they got their $5 back? It seems a little unfair to make homophobes pay to see men make-out....

I think SBC is hilarious, and I generally love his shtick - especially when he takes on the powerful. There is no doubt that he's one of the most brilliant satirists of our time.

At the same time, I'm torn over acts like this, which magnify liberal scorn and inflame social conservatives. No one likes to be laughed at and ridiculed, and this won't do anything to change the minds of those who think homosexuality is a sin, at least in the short term. So what's the purpose? For us to laugh at the emotionally ignorant and feel better about our own enlightened views?

I do think the longer term impact of documenting this kind of groupthink and bigotry is important. I just wish there were more voices trying to bridge the gap.

Then again, I'm sure I'm taking this all too seriously. I was reading Team of Rivals right before coming here, so the divisive and unempathetic rhetoric from both North and South which ignited the civil war is on my mind. Luckily I don't think we're going to war over gay rights anytime soon.

haha. the bruno movie will be way funnier than borat. i can't wait

Funny... just too funny.

So? It's not like anything really changed, they were just kissing instead of punching. :)

In my opinion, if you expect to see a cage fight, that's what you want to see.
If it was 2 women or 2 men or a man and a woman, I would be pissed regardless.
All this does is confirm the Southern redneck/hick stereotype. Plus $1 beer. Hell yeah!

yo samurai dave.. how do your own farts smell?
I'm so sick of all of you self righteous people suffocating current with your toxic cloud of smug...

I think this was a very funny prank. The South needs to be exposed to the reality of the world somehow. Im not about pushing ones beliefs on others but when the beliefs of others include morality laws against two men kissing something needs to be done. These men did see some wrestling, tongue wrestling, and shouldn't complain. Sacha Baron Cohen is combining deeply rooted social constructions with in your face comedy that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. But as someone above noted, he is bringing light to "touchy" subjects. Way to go.

While funny, it just shows how much of an elitist asshole Cohen is. Picking on people who are basically working class and without college education is rather like intellectually bullying.

What would be more of a challenge would be fooling the educated elites into coming to an opera and instead have an actual cage match with wrestlers in opera costumes.

Sacha Baron Cohen is always tricking people, MTV can you finally Punk'd him?

Cage fighting is pretty homo-erotic as is, they always get mounted in the end so whats wrong with a little kiss? Cant wait to see these fans freak out in the movie...

I bet the 'fighters' were quite happy to be locked in a cage after the crowd found out they weren't gonna be watching UFC...

I would have checked the website before i went.

OOOOOhhahahahaooohahahaha i can't wait for this film, its been ages since i've laughed out loud at the cinema. Brunomovie.com have now claimed responsibility officially for the stunt.

The guy has BALLS ...

Well it "was" a cage match...just not what was expected. However, I wonder if the audience would have reacted the same way if it were a heterosexual couple insted of two men.

Living in Memphis, TN and having been to Fort Smith, AR, I can tell you now, the audience would have been humping the chairs in front of them had it been two chicks in the ring. However, Arkansas is actually not as "redneck" as you would expect. Deliverance was filmed in GA and TN people... Plus, Arkansas is the only state in the union that could survive on its own should something happen to the country. They have every natural resource a state (independent state) needs to survive on its own.-- of course, thats just a side note.

fantastic! more people who prefer "blue collar brawlin'" to happy passionnate kissing should be tricked into this kinda thing!

They wouldn't have said shit if they were two women.

He's lucky he didn't get shot. Bruno is Sacha's best character.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius and I can't wait to see his next movie! A big Ach ja!!

hilarious.

Just so everyone knows,I'm not from arkansas.I'm a temporary transplant(I have family here why I don't know).So no redneck jokes PLEASE! By the way,I hate wrestling.

How do people not recognize him? He has been in so many big movies, and had his own show.

@Ricky84 - That is the most memorable Bruno moment I can remember! My jaw was on the ground in anticipation of what I knew was going to happen and when it actually happened. I remember DVRing it and showing everyone.

Good upload!

Cohen is a comic genius......he should have re-enacted the scene from his movie where they fight with the fisting dildo.

rednecks are just too easy .

Damn, I teared up laughing at the story. I can only imagine how funny that 3 to 5 seconds of crowd reaction is going to be.

Hilarious! I'm looking forward to the movie. What is wrestling anyway but two sweaty buff dudes in their underwear performing S&M? Shoot, wrestling as is is pretty damn gay.

this is so funny

What's funny is that all those fans in Arkansas had no idea WHO was fighting, they just wanted to see someone get f'd up. AKA the last people who wanted to see the actual happenings!

well im all for gay love but...well why did they think it was going to be a cage match?

it seems the one to blame would be the advertizing manager.

ha. funny joke though.

As would anyone who didn't get what they expected. But no one will complain unless the tables were turned and it was something else.

and they reacted in exactly the way he wanted, well done.
