VOTD: Bruno Tea-bags Eminem at MTV Awards

Buno Eminem MTV Movie Awards

The one big controversial moment of this year’s MTV Movie Awards involved Sacha Baron Cohen in character as Bruno dressed as an angel flying above the crowd. The scene was reminiscent of Howard Stern’s infamous appearance as Fartman. But when the wires got tangled, Bruno fell down into the crowd, tea-bagging Eminem in the process. The rapper stormed out after getting an extreme closeup of Cohen’s inner buttocks. I wonder if this scene will be inserted into Cohen’s upcoming Borat follow-up? Watch the clip embedded after the jump.

    well FIRST off I dont know if this was planned or not but if you look and listen to the live feed closely em says get this motherfucker off me ( which snuck in take that MOTHERFUCKING SENSORS)which might get mtv some fee of some sort from the fcc but who knows man em's homeboy from d12 can be seen throwing some rib cage punches in the process of getting sacha off, if it's not real it caused a big stir and props go to both but if "BRUNO" did this on his own mtv can kiss slim shady good bye bye
  • justin
    no fee or fine as this was on cable. the fcc has no jurisdiction over cable broadcasts.
  • Did you just hide a shout of 'first'? Shame on you if you did and kudos for being inventive.
  • The FCC doesn't have jurisdiction over any cable channel (except TBS - but that's also a broadcast channel in some markets). Any cable network can show whatever content they'd like - it's their own self-regulation that prevents them from doing so. That's how Comedy Central gets away with their 'Secret Stash' and FX gets away with their 'edgy' programming.
  • Bull
    What an unreadable mess your post is.
  • I do have to say that the picture above is probably one of the best pictures...of all time.
  • hahahahahahaha, funny shit
  • We have been laughing at this clip for the last 30 minutes. His face in that shot kills me. I also loved when Bruno said, "Is the Real Slim Shady about to stand up?"
  • wait, i didn't watch the awards
    but zach efron won for best male performance?

    what the fuck is the world coming too?

    This was actually the first time I can remember really enjoying the MTV Movie Awards. Besides all of the Twilight love, there were some fairly hilarious bits - the Walking Away From Explosions video with Samberg, Ferrel, and JJ Abrams was hilarious, the aforementioned Eminiem bit was unexpected and funny, and Kiefer Sutherland's award presentation to Ben Stiller was surreal. I don't know if Samberg had a big hand in writing the show, but somehow MTV got it right this year (well, except for the actual awards, of course).
  • It's the "MTV awards". These are the same people who gave us The Hills.
  • Aproposofthewetsnow
    i have to say that that was completely planned out. The reason I fell this way is three-fold. One there was no crew on the floor to help get Bruno off of eminem and to get him safely to the ground, because even from a fall like that he could still get hurt and also because if his wires were tangled up in a way that they had to let him down, even at his own request , they were be there on standby in case a wire gets caught on some part of his body hurting him. But the biggest reason that I believe this to be a planned stunt is because there was a camera already waiting on the ground panning to eminem to get his close up and not to anyone who is sitting behind or beside him because when coming down, if not planned, no one would know if he would be directly on top of eminem or the person behind him. And finally, in connection with the last reason, I think because of Bruno's open and apparent homosexuality and because of eminem's open and apparent homophobia, at least in his music, it made for the best comedy for bruno to land directly on top of eminem. To me at least this screamed planned.
  • I think SBC had it planed out and EM didn't know what was going to happen. Em a douche and i was happy SBC put him in his place.
  • liquid terminator
    yeah but the crew already knows where all of the celebrities are going to sit beforehand.
  • The flaw in your reasoning is that MTV was most likely in it but who knows about Eminem
  • muffin7
    Also, it didn't cut to Eminem until Bruno was directly above him, his feathers falling on top of him. And yes, they can cut to close ups of people pretty quickly. They've got a shitload of cameras and all they need to do is say the word and ten of 'em will spin and zoom in on Eminem.
    I'm not going to say that you're wrong, because SBC is known for some crazieness, but Em really looked pissed, like really, really pissed. And that look on Efrons face when he called his name while floating ass up around the crowd could not possibly have been staged, that was sheer shock. either that or he really is the best male actor...
  • kindbuddy
    Him falling on him WAS staged Eminem didn't know about it though I mean if he did then he's a pretty good actor. His reaction was 100% real.
  • The Intro was funny, Samberg calling Magen Fox Ugly was so funny. What was up her ass that she looked like a villain when he was talking to her.
  • starscream9289
    You think that's outrageous?

    Twilight beat TDK, Slumdog, and Iron Man for Best Movie.
  • really?

    wow, i havent looked at the award list
    but that is pretty pathetic

    damn teenage girls
  • Dam tweens.
  • haha the mtv awards aren't awards for the best, they are a popularity contest for whatever is big at the time for the female (age 15-26) population. haha Everybody should know this, so stop getting pissed everytime the list is announced.
  • Knowing Eminem's sense of humor, Bruno and MTV thought it would be best to do a surprise like that on him. At first I had a feeling this was staged then I thought about it and I don't know. I'm leaning towards staged though that Eminem knew about this. I'm sure he'd be laughing at Bruno even before he was about to land on him if it was supposed to be a surprise on Eminem. Also, I don't think MTV would film Eminem leaving if it was real. Remember what Borat did to Pamela Anderson at the climax of the movie? It looked very real because only she knew about it.
  • the ending of bruno? Probably not but i like where your going with that theoy of eminem being in on it, could be smt eminem would do, look like an idiot now, but look ballin when it comes out on bruno and every1 knows its a joke.could be in the movie, who knows
  • starscream9289
    I gotta say, that picture makes me really happy :)
  • Oh man that made my life seeing that as much as I hate Eminem and as much as I love Sacha Baron Cohen. If it was anyone else I would believe it was staged but you can't put anything past Cohen. From what I have read Eminem knew Cohen would be doing that but not bare assed. Seriously Cohen is the funniest comedian around, telling them he already had boyfriend and then inviting back to his hotel. I think Eminem maybe hiding his own sexual insecurities through his homophobia.
  • nikki
    for one sasha baron cohe's comedy is dumb and doesn't make any sense ever,they should have just let him stay hanging in the air.eminem did not deserve that after everything he has been though in the past years.His lyrics are just words,and mtv should be ashamed on their part,because he did all of the publicity for the awards show,skits,performing,etc.eminem should not do anything for mtv anymore that was embarrasing,ans disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • It is alright for eminem to make fun of and mess with other people but when somebody does it to him oh no the world is going to end. He is the biggest drama queen I have ever seen. Everything he has been through? Are you kidding me? Eminem is not a sympathetic figure just because he became addicted to pills. The pills didn't pick him he picked the pills. Eminem is a complete douch bag. Get over yourself.
  • sambafish
    Staged. I'm amazed by how many people really believe this is legit.

    A homosexual character lands(bare assed) into a sexual provocative position right into the lap of a homophobic rapper and people don't think this is was planned?
  • You really think Eminem is homophobic?
  • sambafish
    No, but that is a persona he perpetuated in his first couple of albums and therefore something alot of people associate with him
  • kindbuddy
    It more like a half and half thing. MTV knew Eminem didn't. I don't think that motherfucker and the shots to the ribs were acting.
  • that's not being homophobic. That's disrespecting someone's personal space. I would have been so pissed off if a guy or a woman did that to me, I would have gladly kicked their ass.
  • hypertone
    You really don't understand hip hop with a comment like that. Eminem's career is OVER in HIP HOP. If he gets in a battle its over. He is gonna get clowned forever on this.
  • sambafish
    WOW. You can't seriously think having a career in hip hop has anything to do with battles? I promise you this will have no negative effect on his career whatsoever.
  • bb6640
    Greatest. Thing. Ever.
  • musicology
    I don't think the question is whether or not the falling of Bruno was staged. I think the question is whether or not Eminem's involvement/reaction was staged, which I highly doubt. He's already being laughed at and called 'Feminem'. I don't think he's going to get involved in a 69 photo op.

    I think it's hysterical. Thanks a lot, MTV. But still... wtf MTV, wtf. I'd storm out too if that happened to me.
  • ahahaha!! The show kinda sucked this year BUT this was definitely the main highlight LOL that douchebag slim shady totally deserved that :P
  • Andrew
    you are a moron, no one deserves that crap
  • HÜLYA AKSEL
    hii from turkey
  • The video is hilarious, and is absolutely 100% staged. The real laugh, however, is in the comments section on MTV's site. If the children are our future then we are f***ing doomed.
  • Ide say karma comes back sevenfold, his negative violent sexist lyrics are not something our culture needs and a good joke like this is a good way to wipe the slate clean, totally deserves it.

    This isn't something we need, a homophobic rapper, violent and retarded lyrics about the lives of other celebrities.

    I used to listen to his crap in middle school, I think its about time he writes about something different like maybe cool stuff like how awesome star trek was and how not funny it is to make fun gay people or other celebrities.
  • I think it was planned on MTV and Cohen, and a complete ass to face surprise on Eminem
  • Krs
    sticking your ass in a grown mans face is not a joke.....he was lucky he didnt get his head cracked open getting away with a few kidney shots and pushes cohen was very lucky.......theres a difference between making fun of people and getting a dudes sack in your face............and homophobic is such a stupid word not liking what gay men do to each other and being scared of gays is not the same thing
  • mandi
    I've listened to eminem since he first came out,and I don't think he deserved this It was embarrassing and uncalled for sasha cohen's comedy is dumb and doesn't make any sense ever.eminem will come back on this ,and mtv should apolagize becausehe has been through alot in the past years.his lyrics are just words and no one should take it to heart,cause you have other rappers saying and doing the same thing. give him a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Khuzud
    I sure hope this is real. Fuck Eminem.
  • GregoryV
    Only way to find out if this was staged is when Eminem calls him out on a white label single.
  • surroundedBYidiots
    this passes off as entertainment? gimme a break....
    the crap ppl do for attention is unbelievable.
    the snapshot is pretty funny, i guess, but completely unnecessary. mtv must be desperate for viewers....
  • Scott
    I'm reading you describing that one clip... but really you're encompassing MTV as a whole.
  • this just made my night, thank you thank you.
