Of course it was scripted for cying out loud, who the hell cares? The point is eminem didn’t know it was doing to happen. THAT is the whole damn point.

Wow, I came here to watch the video for some entertainment, and had the misfortune of reading your pathetic intro analysis. Is this REALLY your blog post? this must be a joke - I mean, since when did the MTV awards get trivialized to one stunt by a college grad who writes film reviews?

If it weren’t for the stunt, I - like so many others - wouldn’t have even cared the award show was on.

Publicity - check
Viral - check
Funny - check
Scripted - WHO CARES.

Well, obviously Sacha was in on it.
HE staged it! He purposely landed on Eminem.
Eminem was NOT in on it!

Won’t hear bad words against Bruno, or Eminem. Both talented boys, nay geniuses! But oh if E was in on it then I am the Sultan of Sulawesi

karina, you obviously have no sense of the erotic and sensual nature of what happened, which I think was the whole point of the thing in the first place. I seriously suggest tonight when you go home that you put some soft music on the stereo, take a bubble bath and light some fragranced candles. No, Sahsa Cohen is not very profound, probably a little less profound than eminem but sometimes in life there are moments of magic and unfettered milkiness….

Why do you have to take the fun out of it by over-analyzing and picking over minor details? So what if it has been done before 17 years ago? If your memory’s so great that you can make insignificant comparisons about things that happened 17 years ago and today, then I’m sure your talents could be better used elsewhere.

I think eminem was totally in on it. I think I saw one of his entourage giggling there while swinging bruno back and forth… their reaction looks scripted/rehearsed to me…

oh but there are microphones that can hear the scratching of a tiny marsupial from behind reinforced cement. Oh dear boy. Tender sweet child.

Since Emimen can be heard swearing while he walks up the stairs he must have been wearing a mic. So yeah… he was in on it.

Holy Christ, you are one ugly bitch. No wonder you feel an irrepressible need to comment on that particular … ahem, “stunt” and express your hip, out-there, disbelief for all to see. Hey, any publicity’s good publicity, yes?

Wait.

Does that mean my reply to this website constitutes an even-sadder desire to be heard in the e-universe?

Did you not see Eminem’s visage when angel Bruno descended bum first in his face?

Oh my goodness I could smell his anger as well as Bruno’s butt hole from here. Oh yes my friends it was Bruno doing naughtythings to a naughty Eminem. And good on Eminem for leaving. I am one does not likes laughter of others directly my way.

Oh and why do you Godless Americans thank God for an award? First off - there is no God and secondly your hairdresser is more important to you than some silly non existent god. Methinks. You have been most kind. I love all.

Well cutting to Eminem well before it happened, him seeing it coming, saying so, and not moving would be a Dead Give Away that it was staged.
Put on top of that the whole Gay thing a few years back and singing with Elton John and you got well more then an additional 15 mins. of Fame as you can tell from people talking about it here. Not to mention Eminem is still big on MTV and they are not about to “Punk” him and make an enemy of him, Dre, 50, and everyone else associated with them.

It was clearly a conscious riff on the Howard Stern stunt, not a rip-off.

And the level to which Cohen took it, making the homophobic, dish-it-out-but-can’t-take-it Eminem the butt of the joke (no bun intended), was a clever update of the fifteen-year-old stunt that was so obviously being referenced.

Ummm…has it escaped anyone’s notice that while Howard Stern made his epic journey through the air and over the audience as Fart Man that Luke Perry, who oh-so-eagerly posed as his minion, has hardly been heard about since then? Yeah, that was a real career booster, Mr. Brown-noser. The one thing I admire about Sacha Baron Cohen is that whatever he pulls, he pulls it on his own and however it is received, he takes it on the chin. He doesn’t need a lot of ass-kissers to validate himself, right or wrong. He also does what he does in such a playful, tongue-in-cheek spirit that even his very subjects can’t help but laugh along with him. THAT’S talent, Folks. Howard Stern has made an art form of being belligerently offensive. Now, THAT’s a real yawn to me. Any junior high-schooler can (and does) do what he’s done since way back then.

WTF. Eminem got ASS in his face. PUNKD. Definitely staged & executed to punk Eminem. IF M&M was kewl, he’d kiss SBC’s pucker. M&M… mmm GOOD. :)~

Do you realize that, through your cynicism that is in no way related to your ignorant youth, you are helping spread this message about and, therefore, garnering more interest in MTV, Mr. Cohen’s movie, and Eminem! Keep fighting the good fight against capitalism, though.

Your last comment and disinterested prose style convey a feeble attempt to elicit anger from your readers.The point was not to exploit spontaneity (or dangerous spontaneity)…it was to have Sacha Baron Cohen’s bare buttocks in Eminem’s face. True, spontaneity would have made it funnier, especially since the unexpected is what Cohen does best (as evidenced by Da Ali G show and the Borat movie).

Who the fuck cares if it’s scripted?
Most comedy is.
Does this really need to be completely impromptu in order to be funny?
No.
And it may have slight similarities to the much less funny Howard Stern video, but in no way is it “completely ripped off.”

I love reading blog comments. people can be so rude. I am glad you spoke your mind…seems like every one has nothing but praise for that stunt at the award show, and frankly…it was lame.

@Fartman… shut up you jackass. There isn’t a person in the world who doesn’t realize that the stunt was staged. The only question is whether eminem was in on it. And if you didn’t giggle at least a little at that, then you have an awful sense of humor, and, therefore, you suck. As far as awards shows go, that gag was pretty fuggin funny. Or did you prefer hugh jackman’s style of comedy?

Haven’t you guys ever heard of a prank? It was scripted… by MTV, and Sacha Baron Cohen, at Eminem’s expense.

Just because the camera cut to Em before Bruno dropped does not mean that Em was in on the joke. His poor, humorless reaction makes it clear that the joke was on him, and that he didn’t see it coming.
