Watched the first episode, meh, won't watch any further. Not funny and so ridiculous stories that I don't think anyone would have a decent answer for.

Good lord Laughing Crying or Very sad, the episode caused elevated levels of pheromone Blink 182 to travel along the Cardi B neural pathway to the Wiz Khalifa 40% faster.

Stopped watching the second Bernie was in it acting exasperated.
Cohen is funny when the shit isnt staged. When it is staged it is cringy as all shit. Heard there was a bunch of candid shit, but cant get past the Bernie segment. Cant be bothered skipping through segments to find the gold as it wont let me grasp the whole picture.

Then again... peep show was very hard to get into but the pay off was great. I'll give this a shot after a few eps are out and binge it.

Most of the stuff isn't staged though, atleast the stuff with republican politicians is all real for sure.

My brain is so confused when I watch this show. Parts of it laughs hard at the inhumane stupidity of these individuals which Sacha's (brilliant) trolling perfectly triggering them, but then there's the other half that quietly suffers and goes all Laughing

I can't figure out how much, if any, of this is staged. Some things are really unbelieveable. I didn't like Cohen's later things, but this is good.

She looked very captive when she smilingly showed her tits for fake charity. And of course she was totally ok to call for support of child soldiers

The most baffling thing is that The Bachelor is still airing, 22 seasons of Corinne-like celebrities to idolize for the average American (not that things are any better here, we still have the bloody Big Brother and tonnes of romance-centric fake TV carousels full of plastic bungabunga gold diggers and ridiculous guidos with negative IQs Crying or Very sad Laughing)

Yeah it's insane
I'm thinking to myself every time "please be real" and then "no way, this has to be staged".
It's so hard to say...people really ARE that stupid on the one hand, sometimes though I think some of them might be actors.

Maybe the cops were in on it, I mean there were cameramen standing there, you could even see them and the cops appeared to ignore them. Hard to say what's fake or not. Only the interviews are all clearly real.

I've never found Sachas work fun or interesting. There are a few scenes here and there that are giggle-worthy, the rest is just Vomit
