Anyone else finding themselves not really laughing watching this, mostly just awkward and uncomfortable?

I really can't believe there are people this stupid sharing the planet with me.

I heard a few people say this. Why? I have not been watching the show, just random clips that make the news.

I've given up on the show for this reason.

The show is more enjoyable if you focus on Sacha Baron Cohen's characters, rather than the people he is trying to prank. The least funny bit from the last episode is the one where the gun nut was trying to bite off the dildo.

The title "Who is America?" makes it sound like he is exposing the country or making some deep statement about American culture, but he's just making a silly show about silly characters.

Episode 6 was pretty funny, but this review is correct in that they're not satirizing liberals in the same way they are satirizing conservatives. They send the conservative conspiracy theory guy to interview Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein and they laugh at his dumb photoshops and idiocy. Instead they should be sending in Dr. Nira Cain and see what kind of extreme liberal and SJW views they can get them to agree with.

And here's the whole episode before it gets taken down:

Last night's episode had me laughing out loud a few times and also horrified. It's a carousel of thought and emotion, from **** these stupid people to they can't really be that stupid to waaf to cringing to shame that I spent a half hour on that.

The way he got the old guy to 'kill' the liberal is essentially what the FBI does with their fake terrorist "sting" operations. Perhaps the FBI should focus more in this area.

I watched 10 minutes and couldn't stomach it. I think it's a lot of cheap shots. OTOH, maybe the victims should not claim they are Ali.

PLEASE let this go to trial, or at least through videotaped depositions.

He's suing for deformation isn't he? Isn't that the same as libel/slander

Hopefully Moore is getting ready to wield his simple sword of truth.

Does the concept of discovery never pop into the heads of any of these grifters?
