That's Gay: Bruno

No Bruno was boring (funny in some places though !!...) but I am just so tired of gay men being portrayed as "limp" mm mm mm lisp lisp lisp not good .... old hat .....
Hetros are more than comfortable with the limp image
time to change come on boys show your testosterone .......

I think what really disappointed me about Bruno was that it did not challenge common perceptions about homophobia or heterosexism.

The Bruno character intentionally is a stereotype of a gay man. The 'homophobes' in the movie however are also stereotypes - religious, rednecks and Republicans. It would have been more interesting if Bruno had exposed the homophobia that exists closer to home, among the people who label themselves as liberal or tolerant. It's easy to laugh/criticise people we don't identify with; if 'we' were exposed as the homophobes we mightn't laugh so loudly.

I don't believe this movie helps the gay movement or puts it one swishy step back - it stagnates it.

I thought it was funny, and I hope for the sake of the Movement that it wasn't any "step" for It because intelligent people will know it is a satirical um..poke at the conservative elements in America etc. Just "Vote with your bottom" as I heard one British woman say about movie ticket sales on the news if a movie offends you. (See it or don't $$$) lol
Also, "That's Gay" is awesome! ;)

good work, man. particularly fond of the rainbow logo.

Bryan: Good video. Bruno: Shitty movie.

I agree. All the actor has ever done is try to make fun of Westerners, the way we react to those we have "othered."

He is a perfect caricature- eventually, though, he'll be arrested for hate speech :(

Are we all making Bruno something more than it really is? The Washington Post just released an article claiming that Bruno is a complete flop and fails at establishing a clear point. Isn't the point to laugh?

this episode of "that's gay" is funnier than the entire bruno movie. well done!

I don't find Sasha Baron Cohen funny. He's quite lame.

I fit in to the GLTB equation being trans and I all of my gay friends think this looks like the funniest thing they have ever seen. C'mon people be scared of religious hard-liners, not Sasha.

"Not much!" love it!

Pretty hilarious.

We won't go back to Africa. That's awesome.

Bryan - Keep up the good work. You are really carving a nice Infomania niche for yourself and I look forward to seeing more in the future.

i find it ironic how people find making fun of gays funny

I bet Bruno doesn't sit with his face to the door for fear of murder like Malcom X did but a pretty fun piece, everyone should be made fun of, retarded, handicapped, black, white, gay, straight, christian, muslim you name it make fun of it

Oops I watched that....

Bryan, this is genius. Funny AND provocative. I think you hit it on the head when you said that AMERICA is the joke, and we are the set up. Will the general public see and understand this? At this point, in this day and and age, I hope so. If not, at least those of us who are in on the joke can have a good time at the movies.
And, btw, CONGRATS to Iowa for having huge balls in the middle of the country!!!!

"I don't even know who Malcolm X is"

yikes.

butt entertaining indeed!

Is my gaydar off? I just don't see Bruno as a homosexual...

Not a surprise, many people I talked to didn't even know Kazakhstan was a country, so I doubt many really got the fact that the USA was the joke in Borat. I think most will get it though.

Another hilarious and INTELLIGENT piece from Bryan!

Now that was funny.

ahahhaa the ending of this one made me legitimately lol

nice transition from insightful and uplifting - "Its America that needs changing not us"

To totally WTF hilarious - "we will never go back to Africa!"

hahaha. actually i just ate, plus i don't want to be butt raped. love this show, it's incredibly intelligent. : )

best one yet

That's RAD.

And by rad, I mean GAY.

LoL, AWESOME!!!

Freaking funny! Makes me think of my Grody to the Max t-shirt from the 80's. Thanks for reminding me and I'm thinking that this phrase needs a resurgence!

That's Gay is so grody! And by grody I mean AWESOME!!

Considering that the government of Senegal is turning gays over to actual lynch mobs right now (retro!), going back to Africa at the moment would seem to be rather ill-advised anyway.

Meanwhile, getting shipped back to our collective Gay Homeland of San Francisco is also impractical, because of the rents.

(And Bruno totally IS the new Malcolm X.)

Amazing! This is totally now my favorite sketch coming out of infoMania. Love it!
