Among my peers, I am the only person who doesn’t “get” this guy. I see no humor. None.

Imagine the laughs you’d get if you got on stage and shouted “Death to Islam!”.....

He is mocking islamist dictators. That is the entire point of his new movie.

Leftist?

He’s clearly insulting/parodying Ahmadinnerjacket of Iran!!

“When Harry kidnapped Sally”?

“You’ve Got Mailbomb!”

“My Sunday calendar is as empty as a North Korean grocery store!”

LMAO - hilarious stuff and clearly insulting both the failures of the current Iranian regime as well as an insult of the NoKo Commies.

And the entire thing is meant to jab HOLLYWEIRD in the eye IMO.

Likewise, I’ve never found anything funny about him. He’s just an artless punk. And I’ve got friends too that think he’s hysterical. Maybe there’s a “stupid and odious=funny” gene that we don’t have.

Exactly. It's not "LOL" funny, but neither are Shanklin's parodies that Limbaugh plays.

No wonder Hollywood doesn't make movies for our side.

This is what happens to a mind on Hollywood... reality is baseless; meaning is, well... meaningless; and humor is as a ingrown toe nail, lost on the imagination, banal and idiotic... wait, is what I just said redundant?

Boy, that sailed right over your head, didn’t it? Unless you mean your post to be sarcastic, too . . .

The intense desire of people to be offended turns off their satire detectors.

Sorry. Though I think this "comedian" is distinctly unfunny, based on his earlier work, I do "get it." He's illustrating the absurd by being (over the top) absurd.

Come on, the guy calls for "Death to America" and congratulates Billy Crystal on hosting the Oscars.

This is just more of the toilet humor this guy regurgitated in his last couple of no-brow, low-brow and otherwise tasteless films.

All this "negative" publicity plays into the guy's PR strategy, which is transparent. No use in grumbling about it unless your prepared to burn his dacha.

Totally. And maybe people don't know the back story, here. The Oscars people dis-invited Sasha from the Oscars because he refused to guarantee them he wouldn't show up on the red carpet in character. So the video is obviously taking a shot at that.

Another untalented boob whose career had the half-life of a mercury isotope and who thinks he can resurrect it with an anti-America rant.

That is the point. I'm not a big fan of Cohen, but he's got cojones in that he's always pushing the edge of the envelope.

He's an equal opportunity offender, IMHO.

Do you understand the concept of “playing a character?”

You are aware that, say, Anthony Hopkins is not actually a cannibalistic serial killer, and that Tom Hanks isn’t actually retarded, and Tom Cruise isn’t actually a secret agent?

I’m guessing you didn’t actually watch the video, correct?

The isotopes are stable; I believe you meant radioisotope
