The Dictator opens next weekend, and Paramount just released a new red-band trailer which you can watch below. I’ve been saying over and over that Sacha Cohen is much funnier when he’s interacting with real people rather than actors like this, but this trailer does look a liiiittle funnier than the last couple. I’m not as taken as everyone else seems to be with the scene where he shoots people on the racetrack, but I absolutely love the taxi getting hit with a trash can and the little fat kid getting kicked into a product display at the convenient store. In fact I could watch two hours of fat kids getting kicked into stuff, easily. Anyway, I see this in a few days, so you’ll be able to read my in-depth breakdown of which jokes I liked and didn’t like in the next issue of Things You Probably Don’t Give a Shit About Weekly.



The Dictator trailer?! I thought this was already released, bombed, and went to dvd.
The 911 joke wasn’t bad but went way too long. That’s how the entire movie’s gonna feel.
It’s Adam Sandlerific!
Go on Paramount, you know you want to.
Paramount? More like…BORE-amount! Right?
Am I the only one who thinks Anna Faris is decidedly unattractive? I’ve always thought she had burn-victim lips, and this haircut certainly isn’t helping matters. Observe and Report is funny, though.
There’s something wrong with her entire head. Just doesn’t work. But below the neck, meeeeeeeeow.
More Jason Mantzoukas please!
I don’t know….that actually does look sort of promising. Better than I thought, because it doesn’t seem to be the exact same joke over and over like Borat (and I assume the other movie he made, whatever the fuck that was called).
Bruno was actually better than Borat. At least, it stood up better considering the step down Borat took from the source material.
At least Borat was funny for 5 minutes.
I couldn’t stand the Bruno character for 5 seconds.
At least the newborn baby didn’t pee in his face.
It’s more smirk-worthy than outright funny. I don’t see myself laughing so much as nodding and using the word “clever” a lot.
On the day this is released, I’ll definitely be lining up to see a Kate Hudson romcom instead as any Kate Hudson romcom is infinitely better than the crap put out by cohen.
I like that you seem to think those are your only options….particularly that you are of the opinion that not seeing any movie the day this movie is released is certainly not an option.
“Screw you Cohen! I’m going to do something I hate slightly less than I hate you! How do you like that?!”
Although I totally understand your stance. One time Barry Manilow and Michael Bolton were performing in my town on the same night and I was all “Fuck that” and went to Justin Bieber’s show.
Vince, if you like Sasha interacting with real people, then you should check out this clip of him on an Australian morning show.

When the hosts don’t know how to react to him, he turns to the camera and says “Breakfast tv, why did you have me on?”
i work at store also and will try these new jokes now.
Actually Sasha reminded me some dirty authocratic rulers i have seen in Gulf countries, especially Iran. Do not hate Baron Cohen – he makes exact copy of mocking leaders like Mahmoud Achmedinadjad
I leave “Things You Probably Don’t Give A Shit Weekly” out for my dog to piss on.
