I'm glad this show is on Showtime, because I'm 100% sure that art gallery owner would get ridiculed and harassed out of business (or something worse) if this show had a much wider audience.

No way dude, the art world is batshit. He said he had Banksy's pubic hair on his brush. And as long as Showtime/SBC had done enough to make the existence of the guy plausible that situation came off as completely realistic. Hell, she bought it enough to give him pubes. I'm sure it would have made a lot more sense if we had seen the pre-show pitch where Sacha Baron Cohen's employee went to tell her about this "hot new underground London artist" who "knows Banksy" and produces a few fake articles about his art made to look as if they came from legit sources.

The last segment was great and hopefully that's how the show goes from here. Now that Nathan For You exists SBC has a lot of catching up to do.

Assuming the whole thing wasn't staged, the art gallery lady was great and the way she handled the situation loving ruled.

Yeah she was really cool, she came off better than even Bernie lmao

edit: nobody really knows who he is enough to instantly know what's going on so I don't know why he goes so far with the prosthetics for some of the characters. I mean the NPR guy looked like an actual movie monster and it was distracting. Overall that was my least favorite because he went a little too ridiculous with the "bathroom camera" deal and then the loving dolphin sex. And he didn't really bait them into saying anything too funny.

Think he missed the obvious joke with Cheney:

"Did your daughter want to see more Dick?"

"I bet your daughter was getting tired of Dick."

edit for non-Americans: Dick Cheney's daughter is a lesbian

"There's black people here, and we TOLERATE 'em because we HAVE to" or whatever that one guy said

Totally went right over their heads when he said "It is good that you have black people here" like Jesus there's racist and then there's REALLY FUCKIN' RACIST

In the year 2018, we take them out with comedians.

Like, the whole thing in that segment is Cohen's character telling her, "we want you to do this evil thing, we'll pay you and no-one will know you did it", and she chooses to do it. It's a cut and dry moral test that she fails spectacularly.

Yep. Classic Banality Of Evil stuff.

The pieces of the Quinceañera segment fell in place so beautifully, it could have been a "Curb your Enthusiasm" episode.

"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.

The last bit was ok. The rest was edited to gently caress because no one was really biting.

That douchey club promoter was 100% all in on the track and the guy. He was like the smarmy flip side to the cool art lady.

I wonder if the next episodes are gonna be straight fire or if he really did just put the best stuff in the first two eps and called it a day. I don't see any way in which the Palin interview wouldn't be funny. Every time she talks it's funny.

I mean it should have been a given that he'd end the season/show on a massive high note, but I was not expecting that

That was kinda meh. The sketch with the Trump guys went on way too long. I did lose my poo poo at them all pretending to have sex with the Trump dummy though.

I thought that was great the whole way through. The gangbang they did with the dummy was :stonklol: as hell and that guy apparently believing he had successfully killed a member of antifa was... something!

The fakeout with the ending credits makes me hope that this being the last episode is also a fakeout and next week the Palin episode is going to appear out of nowhere at 10:15.
