WARNING: NSFW content below. And by "NSFW" we mean not safe for work ... not by a long shot. On July 10, ist 'Bruno'! Moviegoers across the nation will soon meet the flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista who only wants to be a big star in America, but who instead winds up provoking, bemusing and outraging almost everyone he encounters. Public nakedness tends to do that sometimes.
But this isn't the first time that Bruno (spelled properly as Brüno, but that's a lot harder to type) has affronted and amused the American public. As many TV viewers well know, Bruno originally debuted as a sketch character -- alongside Borat and Ali G -- on Sacha Baron Cohen's series 'Da Ali G Show,' which aired stateside on HBO.
Ready to watch some of Bruno's outrageous 'Da Ali G Show' moments? Break out your headphones, keep an eye out for your boss, and let's go. -- By Patricia Chui
Bruno Hits Daytona Beach (From Season 2, Episode 12 - 'Realness')
These wrestlers Bruno meets on spring break just want to P-A-R-T-Y. And, show their ass cheeks. But not if it's for "Austria Gay TV."
Bruno Visits Alabama (From Season 1, Episode 6 - 'Belief')
Welcome to the gayest part of America: Alabama! Bruno interviews University of Alabama Crimson Tide running back Shaud Williams, who does his school proud by coming off a heck of a lot better than the event organizer of the Pro-America Expo.
Bruno's Fashion Polizei (From Season 2, Episode 9 - 'Peace')
Stylist James Campbell and designer Randy McLaughlin oblige Bruno with their completely objective, not-at-all pandering style critiques of Renée Zellweger, Peter Jackson and Paris Hilton. (Warning: This clip contains not just vulgar language and jokes about the Holocaust and cancer, but also Paris Hilton wearing what appears to be underwear.)
Bruno at the Fashion Show (From Season 1, Episode 3 - 'Politics')
Bruno drops in on New York's Fashion Week and interviews designer Hushi (of Michael & Hushi) to learn that his show is so totally about cardboard -- and it's both heavy and light. At the same time. We might be getting the hang of this fashion thing yet.
Bruno at a Christian Rock Festival (episode unknown)
To their credit, these Christian rockers handle Bruno fairly well. And of course we'd have to agree about Marilyn Manson.
