"There are straight people that are just as crazy and if you don't know the difference then there is something wrong with you." Joy hit the nail on the head.
she's the one that's being made fun of actually :)... the comments she makes, is just that :). If she liked Borat, but despises Brüno, it says a lot :)
I just watched ''Bruno'' and I think it's totally hilarious. 4 me might be even better than ''Borat''. So I don't share Barbra's point of view in this case. Come on, people, it's just a funn film.
It seems like Barbara Walters missed when Bruno made fun of Supermodels, Paula Abdul, Ron Paul, Jewish and Palestinian Leaders, Psychics, etc. These are not "little" people as she so describes. He makes fun of stupidity all across the board. It is hard to have someone put a mirror in front of society to demonstrate how dumb, uneducated and ridiculous, many of our ideas and concepts are. That's exactly what he does. He exposses the stupidity o prevalent in societies all over the world.
Old people don't understand what children view on the internet today. It's a little more intense than what's on Bruno. We can't hide nudity from them forever.
i saw this movie yesterday and i was the only one laughing.... and the only one that remained there in the room because everyone left in the beginning of it.
Am I the only person offended by the fact that Barbra Walters keeps referring to regular people as "the little people"? She even says "I don't like making fun of the little people". To me, just by saying that, you just did.
I’ve never understood why so many people are so offended by sex, especially talking about it, they get embarrassed and awkward. Everyone loves having it, and it’s imperative to our existence, yet people are ashamed of it. Idk, that’s just weird to me.
Not that I would bring a child to this movie, but you're completely right about the culture. It's A-OK to show kids movies about killing, but seeing a body part is a big no-no! It's quite ridiculous.
My only question is this, did he really, for real do all these things and the people all around him are not actors? Because that's hysterical!!!! The look on some of these people's faces were priceless!!!
Borat the character is far more memorable, but "Bruno" the movie is far better produced. It's by far the best comedy of the year, and might even be the best movie overall.
Joy,the second from the right, right? is the only one with a sense of humour and a laid back self distance among these women. She outclass the others...
Barbara Walters reminds me of the catholic administration at my old high school. The little people being made fun of is not the case. She is so close minded. i love Joy it is sooooooooo funny and true... how can this turn someone homophobic. I was surprised that Elizabeth and sherry were ok with it. I think Whoopi's comment was funny
Babera Walter's doesn't like "little people" being made fun of...but is even more angered when "sophisticated" people like Ron Paul are duped...how dare intelligent sophisticated, presidential nominees get tricked like that.....it's just not right?
it was FUNNY but very controversial... its kinda obvious why someone like BARBARA WALTERS... (a 65 yr old woman) wouldn't like the movie... its for a younger audience...like 20-40 yrs old.. as funny as borat... cohen is a comedy GENIUS 9/10
Oh I love it. "As pornographic as any pornographic movie you've ever seen". Barbara, I hate to tell you but you haven't seen a pornographic movie in a long long time I think!
Barb keeps calling them little people. They ask her what she means by little people and she says that means unsuspecting people caught on camera. Since when does unsuspecting people mean little people??? I think this is Barbaras way of saying that people who arent paid actors, or celebrities, such as her, are little people. Cmon Barabara, get off your high horse. Isnt it nice that she calls all the rest of us little people? Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit snotty and odd???
i dont know why people are shocked at anything anymore. plus, i dont think the film is aimed at middle aged women. how arrogant that they think their opinion is right
People are killed in movies all the time. "Bad Guys" always die. "The Lion King" depicts hyenas eating a character alive.Even movies like "Lord of the Rings" which millions of younger people have watched have multiple scenes of decapitation and stabbing. Yet despite this, parents are more willing to take their kids to see "Lord of the Rings" than movies like "Bruno". Killing and death are more common in today's movies than any sort of nudity, and that's the abnormality I meant to point out.
@Bletzung These people are the punchline of the parody, and failing to notice that at the screen means they're gonna yap about it later again, putting themselves in double jeopardy. Sasha Baron Cohen is doing us a political service if you ask me.
barbra is completely right, i was like the only guy laughing at every joke in the theatre. it was a truly hilarious movie but the rest of the audience was dumb...
@demondurand I have friends who are gay and I saw the movie and I was suprised by all the nudity and anal sex it doesnt make you homophobic. Some ppl are just sensitive to that stuff
After all that...Barbs' stayed for the whole thing? I do admit that anal sex thing was a little unexpected and it was a little too much for me....I think personally if people had a camera in their face they shouldn't be saying things like that..."A 12 foot penis is not my idea of a good time...In that house yes!" LMFAO! I love Joy...It's the parents' fault dragging their kids to see that & Bruno is meant to be a stereotype on gays; they all don't act like that...I thought it was funny
Honestly it was just too much for me..I was expecting something really funny but it wasn't as good as borat..I just wish Sasha would start making fun of europeans more because they're not perfect either. He showed ppl he knew would be close minded and thats not fair. Most ppl in the south just don't like homosexuality. At least they weren't rude. I mean what straight man would allow a naked man in his tent? Plus Bruno was in the bible belt so what do you ppl expect?
oh, damn barbara get the hell over it, it was freaking hillarious OMFG i loved it barabra needs to stop makeing it sound so stupid it was so damn funnny.
well i think it funny and i agree with the nice woman who give it good review :) it amazing funny :D people who seen borat will know wot there up for .. so i wasnt really shock :S
it's not homophobic, hes taking all of the homophobic stereotypes and playing off of them.. basically showing it right to America's face what's wrong with all the homophobic people
What is wrong with the younger blond women??? European, European, European..... . What does she think?? That in Europe everything is accepted?? This is a typical example of ignorance!
Babs is homophobic in this. And, for the record, there are no 'closeups of anal sex' nor is a 'machine that shows you how to have oral sex' depicted. No sense of humour is problem one. Getting facts about the film wrong is problem two.
aint it tbh .. if it for over 18s ..(were i live) and you take like an 13 year old .. well who there really yot blame if you didnt want you child to see what was in the movie hah (y)
did barbara just call us "little people"
"There are straight people that are just as crazy and if you don't know the difference then there is something wrong with you."
Joy hit the nail on the head.
"little people" wtf is that? Am I the only person that's a little bothered by that comment?
Yeah it's a little condescending. I get what she means, like "regular, everyday people" she just worded it badly.
she's the one that's being made fun of actually :)... the comments she makes, is just that :). If she liked Borat, but despises Brüno, it says a lot :)
I just watched ''Bruno'' and I think it's totally hilarious. 4 me might be even better than ''Borat''.
So I don't share Barbra's point of view in this case.
Come on, people, it's just a funn film.
Darius Slomka I also thought was funnier than Borat
It seems like Barbara Walters missed when Bruno made fun of
Supermodels, Paula Abdul, Ron Paul, Jewish and Palestinian Leaders, Psychics, etc. These are not "little" people as she so describes. He makes fun of stupidity all across the board. It is hard to have someone put a mirror in front of society to demonstrate how dumb, uneducated and ridiculous, many of our ideas and concepts are. That's exactly what he does. He exposses the stupidity o prevalent in societies all over the world.
I sat through this entire movie in awe of how much guts Sacha has.
Bruno was a very funny movie
It's not like 80 year old prude grandmothers were Bruno's target market, innit?
Barbara was months away from her 80th birthday in this clip. Of course she's going to have that opinion!
Old people don't understand what children view on the internet today. It's a little more intense than what's on Bruno. We can't hide nudity from them forever.
i saw this movie yesterday and i was the only one laughing.... and the only one that remained there in the room because everyone left in the beginning of it.

5 women try to communicate?too much
Your comment is gold
im almost 15 and bruno is my favorite movie and i couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie!!
My friends and I were watching this in a theater today, and everyone left besides for us!
lol
Oh my god Barbra, not penises! It's not like 48 percent of the worlds population has one of them or anything.
I’ve never understood why so many people are so offended by sex, especially talking about it, they get embarrassed and awkward. Everyone loves having it, and it’s imperative to our existence, yet people are ashamed of it. Idk, that’s just weird to me.
But... but... autism is funny!
Not that I would bring a child to this movie, but you're completely right about the culture. It's A-OK to show kids movies about killing, but seeing a body part is a big no-no! It's quite ridiculous.
My only question is this, did he really, for real do all these things and the people all around him are not actors? Because that's hysterical!!!! The look on some of these people's faces were priceless!!!
By that logic, do I win twice since you replied to me twice?
I think she means little people as in normal ordinary folk you meet in everyday life. As opposed to actors who know what's going on.
Joy is like the only real human being to ever host this "show"
granny be afraid, that the kids see some stuiff which would ruin their childhood... HILLARIOUS!! those disfunctional kids watch it anyway
Borat the character is far more memorable, but "Bruno" the movie is far better produced. It's by far the best comedy of the year, and might even be the best movie overall.
@andrewchan84
Totally agree. Comedy at (probably) its most useful state.
Joy,the second from the right, right? is the only one with a sense of humour and a laid back self distance among these women. She outclass the others...
totally!
well said. Thanks
Barbara Walters reminds me of the catholic administration at my old high school. The little people being made fun of is not the case. She is so close minded. i love Joy it is sooooooooo funny and true... how can this turn someone homophobic. I was surprised that Elizabeth and sherry were ok with it. I think Whoopi's comment was funny
@torontokid2006 I agree! Barbara Walters calls the everyday person the "little people." Wow. So wrong.
Bruno was hilarious!
Babera Walter's doesn't like "little people" being made fun of...but is even more angered when "sophisticated" people like Ron Paul are duped...how dare intelligent sophisticated, presidential nominees get tricked like that.....it's just not right?
I agree with joy.
it was FUNNY but very controversial...
its kinda obvious why someone like BARBARA WALTERS... (a 65 yr old woman) wouldn't like the movie...
its for a younger audience...like 20-40 yrs old..
as funny as borat...
cohen is a comedy GENIUS
9/10
Oh I love it. "As pornographic as any pornographic movie you've ever seen". Barbara, I hate to tell you but you haven't seen a pornographic movie in a long long time I think!

movie was awesome loved it.
@mrbriscoe2001 oh my bad man.. i just saw the question mark... lol
fucking hilarious...even more people will go see this now
True story: a guy wearing an outfit like the BK King jumped in front of me once on the street. I stabbed him in the heart and kept walking.
i dont know why people are shocked at anything anymore. plus, i dont think the film is aimed at middle aged women. how arrogant that they think their opinion is right
Given her age, that's understandable. But yes, I agree.
GO WHOOPI!
"In the house yes ;)"
People are killed in movies all the time. "Bad Guys" always die. "The Lion King" depicts hyenas eating a character alive.Even movies like "Lord of the Rings" which millions of younger people have watched have multiple scenes of decapitation and stabbing.

Killing and death are more common in today's movies than any sort of nudity, and that's the abnormality I meant to point out.
This movie is funny to me primarily because of how uptight, close-minded people react to it. It 2009 for fuck sake, loosen up!
@Bletzung These people are the punchline of the parody, and failing to notice that at the screen means they're gonna yap about it later again, putting themselves in double jeopardy.
Sasha Baron Cohen is doing us a political service if you ask me.
who is that gorgous blond on the left to barbra walter ? or right side of barbrafrom her view.
Bruno rocks!
barbra is completely right, i was like the only guy laughing at every joke in the theatre. it was a truly hilarious movie but the rest of the audience was dumb...
wow
Elizabeth is so passive aggressive towards Joy
@blubberman911 I don't think you understood my post.You're either responding to someone else or you didn't get past 2nd grade,,,,
Grandma shut up and it's time to go to bed ......
@ blunderbus21 ... I agree w/you, but she said "little people", which is even more elitist and audacious-
@demondurand I have friends who are gay and I saw the movie and I was suprised by all the nudity and anal sex it doesnt make you homophobic. Some ppl are just sensitive to that stuff
After all that...Barbs' stayed for the whole thing? I do admit that anal sex thing was a little unexpected and it was a little too much for me....I think personally if people had a camera in their face they shouldn't be saying things like that..."A 12 foot penis is not my idea of a good time...In that house yes!" LMFAO!
I love Joy...It's the parents' fault dragging their kids to see that & Bruno is meant to be a stereotype on gays; they all don't act like that...I thought it was funny
This movie is really funny and through humour it shows the ridicolous predjuices in the world
Honestly it was just too much for me..I was expecting something really funny but it wasn't as good as borat..I just wish Sasha would start making fun of europeans more because they're not perfect either. He showed ppl he knew would be close minded and thats not fair. Most ppl in the south just don't like homosexuality. At least they weren't rude. I mean what straight man would allow a naked man in his tent? Plus Bruno was in the bible belt so what do you ppl expect?
both are equally both hilarious,.
of course the grandma hates it.. shes from the baby boomer age.
I'm 13, I just torrent this and watch it alone.....
oh, damn barbara get the hell over it, it was freaking hillarious OMFG i loved it barabra needs to stop makeing it sound so stupid it was so damn funnny.
well i think it funny and i agree with the nice woman who give it good review :) it amazing funny :D people who seen borat will know wot there up for .. so i wasnt really shock :S
SHOCKING!!! TOTALLY SHOCKING..... this guy is really risking his fkn life???????? CRAP!!!
it's not homophobic, hes taking all of the homophobic stereotypes and playing off of them.. basically showing it right to America's face what's wrong with all the homophobic people
BWUNO

Bruno was way funnier than BORAT.
i hate these people. its a fucking great movie though had me in stitches all the way through
What is wrong with the younger blond women??? European, European, European..... . What does she think?? That in Europe everything is accepted??
This is a typical example of ignorance!

Bawbwa Waltews
whoopi goldburg sold out on the crappest usa talk show
BRU NOOOOOO! Come see The Free Advice Man Show NOW or ELSE! Just click on our blue name....
didnt like BRUNO too much for me
this old man has no sense of humor
Babs is homophobic in this. And, for the record, there are no 'closeups of anal sex' nor is a 'machine that shows you how to have oral sex' depicted.
No sense of humour is problem one. Getting facts about the film wrong is problem two.
movie was hilarious
The scene with Ron Paul was not funny at all.
hehe, ya people did take their kids wen i went to go see it... EVERY ONE OF THEM WALKED OUT! XDD
haha mommy's boy
im 12 i saw it very VERY funny but VERY homophobic
aint it tbh .. if it for over 18s ..(were i live) and you take like an 13 year old .. well who there really yot blame if you didnt want you child to see what was in the movie hah (y)
He is funny and it is pure garbage.
Borat was much better than Bruno. Bruno was just disgusting and lame.
