First Trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Bruno'!
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, NSFW, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips
Prepare to divert your eyes, the first trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno has debuted online ... and it's just nasty. How is it nasty? I think a better question would be how is it not nasty -- from the looks of it Baron Cohen has upped the ante considerably since taking on the Borat character back in 2006, and will use his Bruno character -- who he pretends is a gay Austrian fashion reporter -- to expose the rampant homophobia across the United States and, while he's at it, somehow manage to offend everyone else by falling, destroying, cursing and dressing up as your worst nightmare ... in heels.
The trailer itself -- which kicks off with a quote from Ain't It Cool News (take that Ben Lyons!) -- is pretty hilarious and very R-rated, so you'll need to enter in a proper birthdate and all that. Just how many lawsuits will come from this one, we do not know -- but I'm positive folks will be rolling in the aisles of their local movie theater come July 10. Remember, as of its first pass through the MPAA, Bruno was given an NC-17 -- but they'll probably shave some meat off and bring this sucker down to an R before it's all said and done.
You can watch the trailer over on MySpace, but be warned that this is definitely NSFW. (Oh, and check out the image that came with this new trailer in the gallery below.)

"How do you protect yourself from a man with two dildos?"
I enjoyed Borat for what it was, and Bruno looks to be just as funny. It might not be high-brow humour, or particularly well received to some, but I can't help enjoying seeing the 'general' public humiliated and all it's flaws highlighted in a neon crayon.

Looks a little forced to be honest and not as funny. Borat was a more ideal character for messing with the public because he was somewhat sympathetic (and more believable) rather than just provocative.

Looks lame. It looks like he's changed the voice again. Maybe his voice has changed and he can't do it anymore. They've messed with his look too. Anyone who watched Borat on C4 would've noticed his voice being different in the movie too.

Cohen is turning into a combination of Peter Sellers and Andy Kaufman. I think he's freaking brilliant.

I am so glad I live in the best country on the face of the Earth. I am so glad for free speech. I am so glad I can express my opinion. I am so glad I can vote with my wallet and NOT WATCH THIS PIECE OF CRAP!

The expectations on this one will be higher but really the whole -take the piss out the public for laughs genre- is getting dull. It will be homophobic which will go unchallenged by most of the lowest common denominator audience, racist and too long! The trailer wasn't that funny or shocking an its too easy to mock the already ridiculous fashion industry. It will do well with the Americans who are homophobic and stupid.

The best country on Earth- have you lived anywhere else, do you have any experience of what its like living in a country with free health care or fair employment laws or equal rights and recognition for gay people? A country that isnt the earths biggest consumer of pollutants per head with the greatest outpouring of green house gas! With the most obese population on the planet. Where you have more gun crime amongst under 18s than anywhere else in the world? Nope I thought not.....but good for you for buying into your propaganda without question.
Stick to reviewing the trailer rather than peddaling nonsense Oh an buy yourself a passport an travel a bit!!

Damn man, if you're gonna bad mouth america at least have the balls to say where you are from. I'm just gonna assume you're one of the 10 thousand immigrants that will come here looking for jobs within the next month.

Now what would be the point of bad mouthing the country with a few unpalatable home truths if I had aspirations towards menial illegal employment in the USA. I'm from Scotland btw and there isnt anything I said that wasnt true and it was just in reaction to the rather extreme comment that proceeded mine.
What did you think of he trailer?

Pete is pretty much right, im from the USA and completely agree. We are not the "best country on Earth" and god doesn't "bless" America. Get over it. Just to bad so many Americans are brainwashed to think we live in the best most awesome place ever and all other countries are crap....
As for the trailer, i thought it looked good. But then again i like Sacha Baron Cohen and pretty much all the stuff hes done from the Ali G show to Borat, didnt really like him in
Talladega Nights though

It is kinda cool and exciting to see the "toilet brush gag" that he wears about 4/5ths through this preview. I winder if it will become a hot item for Halloween!
