Bruno
With the release of Bruno, out on July 10, we decided to find some of Sacha Baron Cohen’s best bits, and by ‘bits’ we mean sketches, not what was flaunted in front of Eminem’s face at the MTV Movie Awards! So with that we present a dozen of his best sketches from Ali G, Borat and of course, Bruno. Enjoy! **WARNING: Some of these clips are R-rated and contain strong language and content. Viewer discretion advised.**
