Yeah I thought it was great. Super great. I can't decide if SBC is gonna destroy the country or save it, though. This show is unbelievable in that I can't tell what of it is real and what if is unreal. My lovely wifi/Comcast app, however, is at least partially to blame.

Ah poo poo it's not good news unfortunately, the whole new episode was executed even more poorly than most of episode 1. Big letdown from last week's quality.

Show us on the doll where Baron Cohen touched you. Seriously, that bit was gold, and you're bitching about it in several threads now.

I talked about "that bit" in one thread to specifically rebut one post about it. Great detective work though.

The liberal professor needs to do more bits like the town hall. Every other time he's been on it's totally flat. The Mossad guy is by far the best.

That character is growing on me. It was great when he started to win over the crowd at the rap battle. I want to see more from the other 3.

It's no politician chasing Baron Cohen with his naked rear end and shouting racial slurs, but that was still a very solid episode.

I found episode 2 the weakest so far, but all first 3 episodes have each had some gold and some bits that just doesn't work.

The cops showing up was perfect. loving hell.

No way. The subtlety of this episode and the buildup was absolutely incredible. Last episode certainly set the bar in terms of in-your-face style stuffff that owned, this was much more subdued but fantastic in its own way.

The Roy Moore scene was just priceless.

The weakest scene was the rapper and former politician, by far, but everything else was outstanding.

Yeah the gallery lady ruled. If anything by the end it felt like she was pranking Cohen, because she was just totally unselfconscious and escalated the scenario to a level he started to look vaguely uncomfortable with.

He'd totally been expecting, "I push and push until she melts down and reveals her avant garde approach to art has limits," and instead she pushes back and escalates it to the point where he has to handle snippets of her pubic hair. I want to be friends with that woman.

She's an art history grad student and I got to know her when I was staying at an academic institution that she was working at as well. She's a really nice person and the person she was on film is pretty much who she is, from what I could tell.

I was floored to see her randomly pop up in the show, since I just assumed that she was a grad student, though she did mention working in an art gallery on the side. I did find it pretty cringeworthy to watch her, to be honest, just because she sounded pretentious and ridiculous in a few parts.

As far as art-related people I've met go she sounded as tame as possible given the material she was dealing with and not very pretentious at all. And as far as people being pranked by Sacha go, when it comes down to being ridiculed she's noteworthy for being one of the people who took it the best. I imagine it'd be cringy for me to see someone I know in her role but she loving ruled.

"What are the condoms and KY for?"
*close-up on the guy in a dress*
*Curb theme plays*

The thing I was hoping for was that he was gonna actually do really well in the rap battle. What he did was funny but totally predictable. If he had stayed in that style of speaking but actually knocked it out of the park it would have been way funnier and I think that crowd would have gone with it, they were having a lot of fun when he did the "macro-penis" diss at the end.
