Sit through the commercial...it's so worth it! All I can say is Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno meets Eminem.

Just wonderful. Eminem has NO sense of humor at all.He deserves this for being such a ******* a few years ago when Triumph the Insult Comic tried to talk to him.

So for this,thank you JimmyM.Not only did you convince me to try the Markbass stuff (back when I was a lurker),but you made my night.The wife will love this.......

Acting or not, that's the funniest thing I ever saw at an awards show! I could totally see it being real, though, and I'll tell you why...

I think Sacha Baron Cohen could have easily told those pinheads at MTV that he wanted to surprise Eminem with an interview while he's being suspended in the air in some goofy gay outfit. He probably even submitted a few questions to ask him. Then Sacha Baron Cohen brings his own guys in to run the wire in the interest of "safety," saying he won't do it unless he can use his own guys. And the pinheads at MTV are fine with that, and they have no clue what's really going to happen. If you'll notice, MTV is not run by smart people. MTV is run by idiots. And since Eminem's career is based on kissing MTV's ass, he's not going to retaliate directly against MTV.

One thing is for sure...Eminem has no sense of humor about himself. The Triumph incident showed how seriously he takes himself, as do a number of incidents he's had elsewhere. And that's what makes it so funny. So if Eminem was in on it, he has either made the biggest personality flip-flop in history, or he's the greatest actor in history. I choose to treat it as 100% real. If not, who cares? Eminem had a guy's ass in his face!

Bingo.

Eminem makes fun of various people in his videos and songs (justified alot of the time) but whines like a three year old when the tables are turned.

Now,if it was a set-up,then I have highly underestimated Mr. Mathers' sense of humor.

I think he may have been partially clued in, but I can't imagine he knew all of that would happen in advance--there's no upside, it just makes him look like the douche that he is.

Eminem has had plenty to say about Sascha in the past. Either this was retaliation, or elaborately staged, but either way, that was a legitimate teabagging.

I mean how else could they have gotten him over Eminem so perfectly with the "malfunctions" et al if it wasn't preplanned? THEN AGAIN, they didn't drop the f-bombs from broadcast either, so...

But yeah, funniest thing I've seen in a while.

I highly doubt that Eminem would agree to having a man's a$$ shoved in his face.

Sadly it looks completely staged. When Bruno starts having "trouble" they pan down to Eminem before he even starts to drops down onto him.

Ya, I'm starting to think it was totally staged the more I think about it. I still think there's a possibility that it wasn't fully staged, but it does seem suspicious. Still, Eminem had a guy's ass in his face, so staged or not, who cares?
