New Bruno poster, you guys. Expert job Photoshopping the legs into the edelweiss. You can just feel the freshly bloomed flowers tickling his severed ankles. Seriously, did I make this poster? This poster demonstrates my Photoshop abilities quite accurately. How much longer do you want me to keep making snipey comments about how badly Sacha Baron Cohen’s legs are Photoshopped in this poster as if that’s even remotely important? Forever? Perfect.

Look, the trailer for Bruno looks really good. I think we can all agree on that. But even before seeing this poster, I think we could all also agree that the time is coming for Cohen to find something new. Prank comedy is obviously the most perfect form of comedy (no it is not), but he’s so talented and funny that maybe he can give America’s bigots and monsters a short reprieve and work on something new. Something where a tagline like “Borat was so 2006″ wouldn’t even make sense on the poster, much less actually get approved and used. Meinspace jokes? Fair enough. But in the words of our forefathers, on whose shoulders we are all standing: don’t tread water on me.

Can’t wait for Borat 2: Full Throttle this July, but also can’t wait for whatever comes next. I’m sure it’s going to be very niiiiiiiice. (Get it? You get it.)

Movie Review - 'Hugo' shows greatness in a whole new light
Who was in it? For the most part, this cast is relatively unknown given Jude Law is barely in it and Sacha Baren Cohen isn’t playing some off-the-wall character like in “Borat” and “Bruno.” Sure, Ben Kingsley is no slouch, but he only supports ...

Sasha Baron Cohen struck gold with Borat and watched his mockumentary empire crumble with the failure of Bruno. He's hoping third time is the charm as he unveils The Dictator during the Super Bowl this year. If you're going to premiere a comedy ...

  1. Ughasm.

    I guess he still has an Ali G movie to make? And THEN the Borat sequel.

    the ali g movie was already made. and it sucks.

    but honestly, only now are people starting to realize who he is. just because you know who he is doesn’t mean the millions of Americans do. borat, and what else? the french guy from talladega nights? how is he getting to be old? before borat movie, no one knew who he was. he has one movie, and he needs to find something new? you’re whining is old, but i’m not telling you to find anything new.

    OOPS I JUST UP-ARROWED SCAT’S COMMENT BY ACCIDENT! subtract a net amount of 2 from his score, please, in your heads…

    this guy is the suck

  4. I don’t know gabe. I’m usually with you, but the guy only made one “prank comedy” movie, and it was pretty hilarious. Your snark factor is pretty high here. I realize that movie-poster degree from dane cook universitys gotta pay off sometime, but I personally think you’re barking up the wrong tree. Go back to picking on seth mcfarlane. Way more deserving.

  5. If he managed to prank Ben Affleck, and said prank makes the final cut of Bruno, I’m all for Mr. Cohen’s recycled schtick.

  6. Anyone else notice that the Austrian guy who kept his daughter as his sex slave for 20 years is one of Bruno’s meinspace friends? Vomit.

  7. I’m no botanist, but I’m pretty sure that is not edelweiss. Or was that a joke?

  8. indeed. the clue is in the name. weiss is white. clearly that should have been edelgelb.
