I expected alot more, if you read my quotes prior to movie I was excited about it.
I felt alot of it was forced onto me.


:Spoilers:

































































I mean I admit I laughed at swinger part telling him to look at him.

I thought the Parents and PR girls were funny, parents moreso than PR girls.

I laughed at hotel scene with them being handcuffed together.

I just think in my opinion Borat was funnier, maybe I had too high expectations for this movie and it let me down.

Unlike Borat, I did not have many if any audible laughs. You know the kind where your laughing so people 4 rows back can hear you.

You're welcome for the sig quote.

When you stop taking others' thoughts out of context and come up with your own personal thoughts, you too may accidently think of something so original that is sig worthy.

Good luck, you unoriginal sheep.

When you stop reacting like this to someone using your words as a siq quote, you'll be able to enjoy movies like Bruno. Usually people with a stick up their arse have trouble finding humor in things.

Good luck, you miserable frick.

I really enjoyed a movie to simliar Bruno.

It was called Borat and it came out years ago.

Both movies have a main character with a supporting subordinate character, both going to America on a quest. Main character and subordinate end up fighting, leaving main character to continue on his own.

Same plot, different jokes.

In your counterargument, you basically used my argument as a template then edited it into your own words.

Your thoughts are as unoriginal as Bruno's plot to Borat's plot.

I think it's great that you used to be great.

i thought Bruno was pretty good. Better than Borat, i thought it was tied together better.

Spoilers




When they showed the schlong swinging around and then shouting "bruno" i nearly puked I was laughing so hard.

And by the way, if you ever spend some time in a gym locker room, youll see alot of dick and it doesnt mean you are gay.

IMHO, people who snicker when viewing the human anatomy are pretty immature.

Laughing at genitalia was funny when everyone got their first glimpse of it in junior high or before.

Which mature parts of Borat did you find humor in? Was it the making fun of retarded people? Maybe the human feces in a bag? Or perhaps it was the 2 men 69ing in their hotel room? Yeah I totally see your point, Bruno was just adolescent crap.

Or perhaps you're in the minority.

I laughed in Borat when he exposed people for what they were (i.e. racists, xenophobes, sexists, etc.)

I laughed in Bruno when he did the same - exposed people for what they were.

ETA: I agree that I am in the minority. Free thinkers usually are.

free thinkers usually aren't as repressed as a guy who complained about male nudity

You have have yet to provide/introduce your own personal thought/insight to any argument.

You may want to reconsider changing your screen name to plagiaristTXTiger25.

I didn't complain about male nudity. Seeing a man naked and seeing giant pictures of just male genitalia are two different things.

I also stated that what I saw on screen (male genitalia) wasn't humorous to me.


ETA: Never once did I specifically mention male nudity. I always specified genitalia and there is a difference. I chose my words wisely. SFP, I thought you were better than that.

Hot tub scene, multiple hotel room scenes, and hopefully the rest I have erased from memory.

The giant genitalia scene after the focus group was enough for me. It wasn't funny, interesting, insightful, or something I have not already seen.
