Eminem Performs at MTV Movie Awards, Meets Bruno’s Crotch

6/1/09, 8:00 am EST

Justin Timberlake got an eyeful of Andy Samberg’s junk during the intro to last night’s MTV Movie Awards as the nude SNL joker climbed over his “Motherlover” co-star on his way out of a limo, but the most amusing — and almost certainly planned — crotch shot came when Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed as gay Austrian fashion guru Brüno, flew down from the ceiling and landed on Eminem’s lap in the most uncomfortable position imaginable. The joke at Slim Shady’s expense seems a lot like a poke at the time Em got ruffled by plastic hand puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at another MTV event (2002’s Video Music Awards). Triumph was incidentally in the house to honor Ben Stiller with a lifestyle achievement award along with co-presenters Zac Efron and Kiefer Sutherland. Brüno was presenting an trophy to Zac Efron, who took the stage and observed, “That was really weird.”

(Catch all the MTV Movie Award’s biggest moments — from Eminem’s ass encounter to Kings of Leon’s song.)

Before the sight gag — after which Eminem hastily got to his feet and left, trailed by his burly bodyguards — as promised, Em took the stage to perform a medley of the two most upbeat singles from Relapse that have been released thus far: “We Made You” and “Crack a Bottle,” steering clear of the violent and disturbing serial-killer imagery of “3 A.M.” Shady looked sharp and fit as he stalked the stage, but he kept the performance simple and to the point — no marching army of lookalike Shadys were in sight, though he was accompanied by a small marching band. It was Em’s third public gig promoting the Number One Relapse; he previously performed a hometown show in Detroit and on Jimmy Kimmel Live. So was Em in on the joke? Let the debate rage in the comments, below (and don’t forget about Pamela Anderson’s cameo in Borat).

The night’s other huge musical moment came with recent RS cover stars Kings of Leon’s performance of “Use Somebody,” which marked the Followills’ first live MTV gig. They definitely made the most of it, rocking a crisp version of the Only by the Night track that swelled into its anthemic finale. And Samberg impersonated Bruce Springsteen in a short music video for a song about movie badasses who walk away from explosions without ever looking back (Will Ferrell joined him in a sparkly red jumpsuit to portray Neil Diamond, and J.J. Abrams handled a wicked keyboard solo as himself).

The MTV Movie Awards’ big winner was Twilight, which took home nearly every major trophy from Best Kiss to Best Movie, and the first clip from its follow-up New Moon debuted on the show. Check it out here:

There is nothing more satisfying than when someone who thinks he’s larger than life and cooler than everyone else gets taken down a few pegs. No human is too cool to be messed with. Sacha Baran Cohen has proven that he is one of the best character actors of our time (see Sweeny Todd) even if he doesn’t know it yet.

Borat=funny. Eminem=a joke that’s not funny anymore.

What was that line? Something about Moby being out of touch? 36 year old…something? I’ll figure it out later….

78Bo | 6/1/2009, 8:50 am EST

That was great! I hate M&M, I’ve always said he was a BUTT head!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO

Jon | 6/1/2009, 8:56 am EST

Agreed

Terry | 6/1/2009, 8:59 am EST

it was all set-up dumba$$’s.

Bilbo B | 6/1/2009, 8:59 am EST

Yes, of course Em was in on it. The whole thing – especially his two fat bodyguard guys and his storming out – was clearly staged.

It was pretty funny nevertheless. And even if it was scripted – it was very well done.

mc | 6/1/2009, 9:01 am EST

They’re both disgusting.

Dude... | 6/1/2009, 9:02 am EST

Get a grip people…Sacha did the same thing with Pamela Anderson…come on man…you know it is staged.

VaBeachKevin | 6/1/2009, 9:04 am EST

Eminem just can’t take a joke. And all his making fun of pop celebrity’s schtick? That was cute 10 years ago, but now its just boring. Move on Em.

whatever | 6/1/2009, 9:06 am EST

Sorry.
I don’t care who you are, nobody deserves junk, esp SBC’s, in your face!

maja | 6/1/2009, 9:14 am EST

Sorry folks M is making fun of peoples real stupidities THIS
Angels bare ass ON His head
was clearly A BAD taste ..EM is no ass kisser or GAy SO WHAT was the joke about ,humiliating HIM Period
But fuck it At least there will be Publicity
ONLY assholes laugh at this sorry

Evil Goat | 6/1/2009, 9:15 am EST

WTF, how was that funny. Stupid MTV BS! OH look at his butt, funny, hahahaha. When is MTV gonna get back to music?

Joe | 6/1/2009, 9:23 am EST

The Kings of Leons’ first album is one of the best southern rock albums ever made. Since then, they have sucked ass.

StuP | 6/1/2009, 9:23 am EST

I think it’s halerious, especially what the US needs to see after the debacle in california. The over dominating usually homophobic rap music scene got it’s come-upance in a sense whether it was staged or not it’s about time someone said F U! gangster wannabe’s for being homophobic. Like they are so big they mock those the think are below them, think again! Insecure dweebs more like!

BLAH28 | 6/1/2009, 9:25 am EST

It was perrty gross, but funny.

sasha b.c. is FOONY!

Luther Blisset | 6/1/2009, 9:34 am EST

That clearly could not have been scripted, as they let a MF bomb drop. If it was “part of the act”, I don’t know if MTV would wanna put up the $250k for the FCC. Still hilarious, but didn’t have that feel of being scripted. And not that I don’t think Em is a good actor, which he really isn’t, so that leads me to believe that it was real. I know I would be pissed if I got a face full of Borat nuts, joke or no joke.

EMNM | 6/1/2009, 9:37 am EST

ohkay all of youu retards…Eminem obviously wasnt in on it cause why the hell would he get so pissed off and why would he want that??? DUHH and tdog SBC is not funny and is a stupid asswhole and is not a great actor, his little stunt last night was not funny and amusing but only childish and pathetic. For the record if its between SBC and Eminem, Eminem is the one who is larger than life and cooler than everyone else

Lip Syncher | 6/1/2009, 9:40 am EST

It was probably staged, but who knows, who cares?
The real travesty was his performance, which was obviously lip synched. Seriously? Doesn’t this guy target people like Ashley Simpson/Britney Spears,etc. because they are fakes who lip sync. If he truly had the skills anymore, he wouldn’t need to fake it.

Anonymous | 6/1/2009, 9:43 am EST

I don’t M&M…so I really don’t care if an ass ends up in his face..because he has a face of an ass a ayway.

kett | 6/1/2009, 9:55 am EST

That definitely was NOT staged. Em was furious, and I for one do not blame him. Joke or not, no grown man wants another mans balls and junk in his face especially when he is totally heterosexual. I actually felt bad for him, how embarassing. He puts on a great show, It’s his first live performance for his new album, and they pull that? Bad on Mtv’s part…Even though for the record I LOVE Sacha Baron Cohen…..Not cool.

AdRock | 6/1/2009, 10:08 am EST

The REAL comedy is the WHOLE LOT of you the actually believe for a second this wasn’t totally staged. How convenient that a)SBC was harnassed to fly right over Eminem, and oh let’s throw a little extra tangle & dangle (ew) in while his junk is in Em’s face (Make it seem like he’s stuck, for max effect!)B)It’s the same prank Eminem mimicked doing to Tom Greene in his most famous MTV Video C)It mimicks his “beef” with Triumph D)If you haven’t been paying attention, Eminem is kinda over the whole, “Taking himself WAY too seriously” deal, and is more than man enough to handle a joke (Esp. to get you moron’s up in a rise) E)When something unscripted happens, MTV will not only remove all clips from the web & photos, but even from their site, which obviously hasn’t happened. MTV doesn’t give publicity to people who perform unscripted stunts (See Howard Stern, Andrew Dicey Clay, Dude from R.A.T.M. climbing the Globe behind the podium, etc…)
F)Stands for you F’n IDIOTS that get all fired up that Eminem “Finally got what he’s had coming to him”, well does it matter at all, that Eminem allowed himself to “get it”!?! –Both guys have new projects that not only they are relying heavily on, but MTV is as well. It’s not exactly the Da Vinci Code, but it’s PRETTY clear to anyone who know’s “what time it is”, that this was a joke Eminem was in on. (Besides, if he weren’t, are we really supposed to think Eminem & his “Crew” are going to allow someone to drop junk in their face, and home-boy isn’t going to catch a beating Live TV or Not!?!). Probably the same lot of kids that believe the Twilight movies are based on real stories… *sigh* One day you’ll see the light children… and realize that NOTHING is unscripted on MTV. Not The Hills. Not their Game shows. Not their Video’s, and CERTAINLY not their huge ass award show’s…

Shawn | 6/1/2009, 10:08 am EST

One ass met another ass.

Sarah | 6/1/2009, 10:10 am EST

I think the stunt was trashy and not at all funny. The only thing about the show that was funny was “cool guys don’t look at explosion’s.” It had more of a SNL feel, but the rest was out there. Not funny. MTV has definitely lost it’s touch, they try to be edgy and new, but they should revert back to the old formula. Less and less stars come to this every year, and this is why. It was stupid. Though this could be good for Eminem (he is best when he’s pissed) but just wasn’t impressed with MTV, for years now their awards shows have went down the tubes. I don’t know that they can be saved at this point.

Nem | 6/1/2009, 10:14 am EST

Eminem has been faking anger his entire professional career. Anger (and misogyny) is the whole of his act.
After having been a has been how can he hope to get off the oldies circuit without something to be “angry” about. The misogyny was perfectly counterpoised by SBC’s gay stunt.
Eminem is is gay and everyone knows it but him. Everyone but him was in on the joke.

mdog | 6/1/2009, 10:14 am EST

WTF????? bad taste and pour humor for someone with no talent!!!!

Bone | 6/1/2009, 10:15 am EST

I think Mr. Slim Shady was too boring with his behavior, He’s NOT a musician his JUST A COMEDIAN, so he should’ve continue with the joke.

of course it was staged. the camera zoomed in on Eminem right before it happened.

nonetheless loved it. especially the casual half assed way zac was announced for best male actor. ha – what a dork.

Steely Fred | 6/1/2009, 10:20 am EST

It had to be staged. If it was real, Eminem or one of his thugs would have shoved him away before he got his balls in his face and Sascha would have some bruised ribs right now from being punched. Those violent assholes wouldn’t be able to control themselves.

No Class for MTV | 6/1/2009, 10:21 am EST

No class on MTV’s part. This award show is going to the dogs. I could not believe how the award show, shows no class. Come on MTV change your image and get come class.
The celebrities on the show SHOULD demand better respect. I would have be ashamed to have brought by kids to this….

LOL | 6/1/2009, 10:24 am EST

If it was staged (which it probably was) EMNM just publicly PWNED himself.

Is he still on drugs?

Why would anyone “plan” on having images and video of a man’s asshole in their face to be put on full display for the world to see? And he makes fun of other idiotic celebs? LOL

If it wasn’t planned – then EMNM just got publicly PWNED in the worst way :) Either way – not a good night for the Slim Shady

Mike Cerasaro | 6/1/2009, 10:29 am EST

I wish I was the one who landed on Eminem.

LOL | 6/1/2009, 10:31 am EST

ADROCK – you are WAYYY to worked up over this LOL.

Sure it was planned – and EMNM will forever have images of a mans asshole in his face on display for the world to laugh at.

It’s funny because EMNM is a huge asshole himself, so it’s only fitting and even funnier that he is trying to be “funny” and “lighten up” by having an asshole land in his face.

LOL – Slim Shady has JUMPED THE SHARK

Steely Fred | 6/1/2009, 10:32 am EST

Where did my comment go? I didn’t say anything offensive.

Em should of whooped Borat’s ass for that. That was some punk shit.

mazgrl | 6/1/2009, 10:39 am EST

It was hilarious.. Staged or Not, he got wat he deserved. I think he actually liked it, he sat there in his face for a few seconds. LmFaO

Me | 6/1/2009, 10:41 am EST

MTv hasn’t been what it used to be since the mid-90s(Assuming MTv wasn’t a joke to begin with). Afterall Zac Efron won something, proving it’s gone to full force teeny-bopper. With SBC its always hard to tell if something is staged or not. Often with him it isn’t, but with MTv everything is fabricated. So perhaps it falls somewhere in between?

Also, I should add the level of emotion displayed here on this topic is sad, and the level of grammer is utterly painful to read. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would also like to add I will feel a level of self loathing for the rest of the day for having particpated in this at all.

What happened to eminem was disgusting and he should sue. It should be a sexual offence for one man to put his privates in another mans face.its perverted and not funny.And the question of whether he was in on it. it’s obvious it was staged by the brits and his bouncer knew about it but eminem would never agree to anything like that. no decentheterosexual man would

anon | 6/1/2009, 11:00 am EST

all im going to say about this is if someone dropped down with there dick in your face would you be pissed ? it was funny but made a lil far as to do something like that but it is mtv if you make a ass of your self everyone will love you

love | 6/1/2009, 11:03 am EST

The correct spelling is “grammar”….ironic in accordance to your statement; and a very important lesson of not judging others :)

Anonymous | 6/1/2009, 11:03 am EST

at 1st i thought it was (fartman) howard stern….then i see his butt land on Eminem…it was only staged by mtv’s side they been messing with him for awhile now (moby and rubber dog incedent)
but this time they got him good ..i almost died laughing and the look on em’s face was true horror….i cant wait to see if his people sue mtv for the public humilation

Dremast | 6/1/2009, 11:04 am EST

Looked like a tasteless, but premeditated prank on Slim to me. I don’t think Eminem was in on that, but I think they did plan for that to happen. Or maybe SBC was supposed to land differently. If that happened to me, I’d sure as hell get pissed, and I’d also probably end up being charged with assault too.

mike | 6/1/2009, 11:04 am EST

If Eminem wasn’t in it, then he has the worst reflex in the world! Seriously, a dude with a banana hammock floating down on you and you don’t even move or put your arms up?

Bruno saying “Hello Eminem nice to meet you” was hilarious.

Jeff | 6/1/2009, 11:05 am EST

That was wicked!! Sacha rules, Eminem is a douche. I think it was staged, but hope it wasn’t. I can’t f***ing wait for Bruno the movie. BRUNO!

Jeff | 6/1/2009, 11:06 am EST

@ Maja Are you retarded??

Jane Carroll | 6/1/2009, 11:10 am EST

I think that’s just nasty! If I were Eminem, I would press sexual assault charges against Sasha and then sue him for every cent. If Eminem were a woman it would have been a horrific sex crime. As a guy Eminem could have kicked this dude’s butt if he wasn’t famous and on tv but then would have been sued by the never funny Sasha for everything he had and had assault charges brought on him. But when a dude shoves his private parts in your face? That’s unacceptable and it’s assault. It’s not a joke. It’s not funny. This guy should be brought to justice. Otherwise we are saying this type of behavior is okay. Or maybe Eminem was just “asking for it,” right? His lips were saying No but his eyes said Yes…This is a sexual assault and it should be treated as such. MTV should be ashamed for allowing this. Who would expect to be assaulted at an awards show? If this goes unpunished, I think celebrities will think twice about attending MTV awards. You might get assaulted if you attend.

Dremast | 6/1/2009, 11:12 am EST

Borat wasn’t that funny… and is mostly forgotten now. What has the guy done really since then? Not much… Oh sure-he’s a comedian-a comedian in the sense that he does things that would get you in jail if it wasn’t for the fact that some inarticulate boob thinks you have talent for Hollywood. So he’s maybe toured, had some movie cameos-where as you take someone who does have talent, who got there because he has a gift-I take that over the guy in the chicken suit.

eminem tossing salad!! | 6/1/2009, 11:15 am EST

eminen – how dat azz taste boy? hahahahahhahahaha…. cohen punked his azz, made him look like a straight up clown…. brilliant.

how dat azz taste shady? rotflmao….

shamrock | 6/1/2009, 11:18 am EST

it was clearly staged by Sascha!!! eminen though …dun think he knew and if he did he’d be an idiot to do that — it was quite funny though lol — and kinda turned me on lol. go on slim shady…give the hershey highway a lick ahhah

Owen Finn | 6/1/2009, 11:19 am EST

Uh – obvious that Eminem was in on it – the camera catches him 3 seconds before the stunt occurs. Pretty obvious, except to the American audience that watched it, I guess.

Jeff | 6/1/2009, 11:25 am EST

Jane, do you work for the National Organization for Marriage or something?? You are hardcore.

justinpushplay | 6/1/2009, 11:27 am EST

i love the comment reading “all he did was borat and nobody cares, what’s he done since?” lol dude, when you make one of the biggest, most sucessful and brave comedies of all time, you’re allowed to take a year off. Bruno will be just as huge, and I love Em i really do, big fan but he really needs to get a sense of humor about himself, it just shocks me that for a guy that dishes out so much (and i’m happy he does), he can’t take much..it’s too bad, would have been an even better moment if Em went along with it instead of hitting the bricks..

G-$ | 6/1/2009, 11:27 am EST

lets see if i am eminem, ya i don’t really wanna sit and watch all these “homosexual” sales men of all ages all night long so, sure i am comfortable enough with my sexuality to take a package in my face, after i have performed and made my money of course, to use as an exit strategy… wow MTV has so many damn SHEEP!!!! So sad!!

Andrew | 6/1/2009, 11:52 am EST

wonder if nick cannon had any part in it

Liam | 6/1/2009, 11:56 am EST

Interesting that a stunt such as this has brought out the extreme levels of homophobia that normally lay dormant in people, which is what the Bruno character was designed for. Some of the comments on here are disgustingly homophobic. Thank God I live in London.

GeronimoJackson420 | 6/1/2009, 12:05 pm EST

It happened on MTV… Why do we care. The whole station is a train wreck. It makes me sad that The Kings of Leon performed at the show. I still love ‘em but they lost a few repect points from me.

Andy | 6/1/2009, 12:08 pm EST

Liam: I agree completely. That is the whole essence of the Bruno character. That is why Eminem was the target (staged or not). It was awesome and I can’t wait to see more of it in the movie.

Dogs nads | 6/1/2009, 12:18 pm EST

You Americans do not understand humour and cannot laugh at yourself. Sasha will have come up withthe joke for publicity and a laugh. Mnm fair play to him was up for a laugh that’s all. Losers relax Rule Britania x

rude jude | 6/1/2009, 12:18 pm EST

Its still amazing to me that you people can still be this stupid. MTV a station that came up with madeup shit like The Hills and well everything else on that awful station can’t see that IT WAS SET UP!
god damn Em even talked about sumthing funny was going to happen on his Radio station Shade45. Sometimes I really truly wonder if the people around me are all retarded… He talked about it, it was SO OBVIOUS. It was Eminem again Poking fun at himself again! But again the Sad Unfunny Depressing USA that has to make something out of nothing. Wow I really don’t even understand people lol Its F*cking MTV u IDOTS!!! EVERYTHING on their is FAKE! of course what does EMINEM want??? EVERYONE TO BE TALKING ABOUT HIM!!!!! Fools that’s how u sell records!! Publicity!

Stever_B | 6/1/2009, 12:18 pm EST

@Liam: “normally lay dormant”? Are you kidding? I see and hear this kind of crap every day because for some reason, it MATTERS to people. Maybe if we weren’t inundated with reality shows, people would stop thinking that EVERYTHING is their business. Sometimes I wish I lived in London! Oh and IMO, staged and kinda tasteless.

jd777 | 6/1/2009, 12:23 pm EST

I can’t stand em but if it was set up then em is dumb for going along with it. If it wasn’t then I gotta say em is a better man than me cause I wouldve tried to hurt sbc who isn’t funny anyway.

Beavis | 6/1/2009, 12:32 pm EST

The whole awards show was pathetic. Somehow a movie like Twilight(which is nothing more than hollow psuedo-goth teen romance tripe) got the most honors, while movies like the Dark Knight, Iron Man, and Slum Dog Millionaire lost out because of where MTV marketed their demographic. MTV has no soul. Even the artists who helped make it what it is probably want nothing to do with MTV anymore. It caters to the vacuous whining shallow excesses of the tween market. It’s the Teen Choice Awards now.

Zac Effron for Best Male Performance? Really? Come on…

MTV has killed the Video Star.

Topher | 6/1/2009, 12:47 pm EST

Obviously, it was pre-planned… by “Bruno”. After all, it wasn’t a result of a technical problem (and was actually practiced before the show – without Em present). However, it’s hard to say whether Eminem was in on the joke. Why the hell would he agree to allow Bruno’s jock-strap to be inches away from his face? I think Bruno picked on Em because he was the best target – Em flipped out on Triumph in 2002 and is often called homophobic (even though Em repeatedly denies this). Em does have a sense of humor, just not when he’s the target. I actually felt bad for Em. After all, Em just performed for the awards show. Assuming Em wasn’t in on the joke, he has reason to be pissed at MTV for allowing Bruno to do what he did. In fact, if it wasn’t set up, Em may decide to sue Bruno for battery.

Karley | 6/1/2009, 12:48 pm EST

i personally think sasha baron cohon knew that it was going to happen but i think eminem had no clue…my dad said that eminem deserved it and he’s just a jerk. i about died i laughed so hard i thought it was so funny

Take Mtv off the air please | 6/1/2009, 1:01 pm EST

This station was started as the
first all Music television station
and that is what they were.
But now they are nothing but
garbage television shows and
no music at all .
Is there really still a need for
this lame channel and crap shows ?

Sacha Baron Cohen is annoying
obnoxious moron who is not
funny . Borat was an asshole
and so is Bruno .
I have not seen Borat because the
clips.
I have seen tell me that anytime
spent watching this clown is
time in my life that I can’t get back and I’m a huge comedy fan
but this ass ain’t funny.

Eminem should have elbowed him in
the sack and hear Bruno hit the high notes . It would have been
self defense jut like what happened to Danny Bonaduce :)

Mtv The M use to be for Music
now it’s for Moron

Kevin the Robot | 6/1/2009, 1:04 pm EST

The brilliance of it is that it made people unsure whether it was staged or not. Eminem not getting out of his chair or putting his hands up before he came down means that he was in on it. And let’s not forget the camera crew that just happen to be covering his walk-out. So when everyone is debating whether or not its staged, they get exactly what they want: More Publicity!

Nycmade | 6/1/2009, 1:08 pm EST

Don’t be such soft gullable fools. Get over it. It’s entertainment. May not be your favoite variety. But entertainment nevertheless. Sounds like a bunch of sensitive baby boomers

Young Jux | 6/1/2009, 1:12 pm EST

no way that wasnt planned i dont think em was in on it that bruno dude probably didnt think he was gonna hit that speaker em was way to pissed for that to be a joke but aye it was funny as hell

Rumy | 6/1/2009, 1:31 pm EST

I think obviously Cohen planned it. and I don’t doubt others were in on it too but I don’t think Eminem was in on it. His reaction was too genuine. And on MTV (as we know) it’s easy to tell reality from ‘reality’ ha.

RB | 6/1/2009, 1:32 pm EST

Eminem totally insulted Lindsey Lohan at an MTV award show now and now it was his turn. I don’t feel sorry for him.

LOL! | 6/1/2009, 1:33 pm EST

OMG…The jokes on Eminem now…He dogs the whole world – Backatcha with an face full of as* LOL!! Everyone’s loving this….FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! !! This will be in the books forever..Karma is a biatch…

KeepItReal | 6/1/2009, 1:41 pm EST

Eminem remains to be one of the best rappers in the industry, ever. Like his style or not, he owns it and rocks the MF mic. Anyone who thinks he was lip syncing is retarded. It was obvious he was for real last night, and the fact you think it was fake shows how dope he really is. You could here the hype man in the mix and all. It was the only good part of the whole show, except the “real men” shit, that was kind of funny too.
I think the SBC nuts in the face was funny, and staged. Get over it…

sofanman | 6/1/2009, 1:45 pm EST

Not a prude at 43 YO by any means, but watched that horsesh*t show with my 13 YO son and I was embarrassed for our whole country. What a sick show and Hayden Panettiere, who is a hottie, just lost all my respect for any future credibility with her “funny” WTF skit. The guy who was dry humping the “award” he “won” in the one skit was just nasty…what is the average age group of this show again? Disney meets Andrew Dice Clay is what I called that show. I enjoy some HBO Chris Rock-type comedy, no problemo. Just not on my kids TV show. A steaming pile and MTV is just a rotting corpse that smells all around. They suck. Bring back Marth Quinn and an actual music video; that is the “Real World.”

If Em was mad, why didn’t he or is people beat the hell out of them. Em acted like a pussy.

doobler | 6/1/2009, 1:53 pm EST

he looked genuinely pissed off, but his bodyguards would have DESTROYED Bruno if it weren’t planned.

MotorCityGirlie | 6/1/2009, 1:54 pm EST

Whether it was staged or not, it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving, homophobic, humorless piece of trash like Eminem. It’s humiliating to have an artist like him representing Michigan!

tkellis90 | 6/1/2009, 1:56 pm EST

MTV is still on?

LOL! | 6/1/2009, 2:02 pm EST

OMG…The jokes on Eminem now…He dogs the whole world – Backatcha with an face full of as* LOL!! Everyone’s loving this….FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! !! This will be in the books forever..Karma is a biatch…

And no…He is NOT the best rapper ever..He only rapped his way into fame using the “shock value”. The shock values bit you in the as*..Or is that the othe way around? LOL

EMINEM PRANK WAS NOT FUNNY | 6/1/2009, 2:07 pm EST

woow listen to all of you. laughing at this saying eminem deserves this! NO he doesnt! he may have said && dissed people but he SAID stuff he didnt put it into action or in any physical sense! THE EMINEM PRANK WAS NOT FUNNY! so get over ur selves. btw i can take a joke and that wasnt one! it was fuckin disgusting!

LOL! | 6/1/2009, 2:13 pm EST

Hey…You can hurt people wth words too!! That’s what he chose to do. You don’t have to be physical with someone to hurt them. Some people have been scarred in life by words…LOL Eminem didn’t care..Well, neither does the world..LOL! LOL! FREAKIN FUNNY….WHO’S CRYIN NOW…lol

EMINEM PRANK WAS NOT FUNNY | 6/1/2009, 2:16 pm EST

hahaha lol lol thats u! it wasnt THAT funny for you to be crying liek u are now. it was disgusting to have a nasty ass like that in front of your face. it was disrespectful and mtv should apologize better yet eminem should sue the fucking show for doing that. bruno could of dissed with words not put his nasty untalented ass like that. fuckin moron

Cursory | 6/1/2009, 2:17 pm EST

I’m not gonna deny that SBC and MTV were on this… but Eminem wasn’t. You honestly think that he’d want to see a grown man’s balls in his face? He obviously couldn’t attack SBC or do anything except let his guards handle him, because it’s public television and he doesn’t want to get himself sued to hell and back. He dropped the MF-bomb a few times, and he wouldn’t have stormed out if he wasn’t serious.

Other celebrities aren’t too thrilled about this either – if we believe Paris Hilton’s statement on the View (and that’s asking a lot), MTV and SBC staged the whole thing, but Eminem wasn’t told – and same with the other celebrities there. Efron looked like he was going to piss his pants from shock.

It’s a damn shame that MTV has no respect for Eminem anymore, especially considering they invited him to perform for them, and this is how they repay him? Unless the whole mess was one big MTV setup…

Anyway, odds are there’ll be a nicely edged diss track released on Relapse 2, aimed at SBC and MTV. They wanted a feud with Eminem, they got it.

“he may have said && dissed people but he SAID stuff he didnt put it into action or in any physical sense!”

…Which is why Cohen is more badass and respectable than Eminem, cuz he DOES things. Eminem just talks shit about ppl to sell records, but doesn’t DO shit. Lame.

Anonymous | 6/1/2009, 2:44 pm EST

If you know anything filming. You would know that the way they shot Eminem’s exit was extremely fake. Just pause at 1:25. Cameras were planned and fixed at the right spots. And look at Eminem sitting there waiting for Bruno to fall on his lap. And last but not the least the mic. And trust me when I say that this guy can act. Its actually good for three of them. Eminem with RELAPSE, SBC with BRUNO and MTV with its ratings. So I will just say that its a fake.

NATHAN johnson | 6/1/2009, 2:52 pm EST

Eminem didn’t seem too surprised at first I guess he thought he was looking at his reflection. The look on his face between those cheeks is Mastercard priceless. I thought the funniest part was when Eminem, AKA Mr Teabagging 69, wipes his nose as he walks away all pissy. His latest album should be renamed “Relapse with a Dirty Sanchez” LMFAO

Leepea | 6/1/2009, 3:13 pm EST

Well, Cursory pretty much said it all. The only funny thing is that MTV censors every little swear word but zooms in on such disguting and disrespectful scenes. They’ll never get Eminem to perform at one of their events ever again. It’s got nothing to do with being a good sport or having the same kind of humor as SBC, it’s just n-o-t funny. btw, I’m not even an Eminem fan.

jarr | 6/1/2009, 3:14 pm EST

any of you who insist that it wasn’t staged ever stop to wonder why eminem was MIKED at that particular moment??? mtv is trying to revive their lackluster ratings, so heck yes they would risk the FCC fine for a stunt that is being talked about by every major news outlet today. and even though eminem had the number one album last week, huge publicity like this can help push his cd to the top of the charts for the weeks to come. so YEP, good publicity for everyone all the way around.

Gigi | 6/1/2009, 3:16 pm EST

Someone else | 6/1/2009, 3:22 pm EST

Some of these responses are rediculous. Do I want some man’s ass in my face? No. But some talk like SBC smacked Eminem with a 2×4 or something. Cripes, if he had I’d bet there’d have been less of a reaction. He put his ass in his face: he didn’t shoot the man in cold blood.

Eminem isn’t Jesus and he didn’t get crucified by SBC. Staged partly, completely or not at all, judging by the reactions SBC’s done exactly what he set out to do: show how many people would rather mouth off to prove they’re not gay than worry about shit that actually matters.

MTV staged it for sure. I don’t think Em was in on the joke though. You forget Sasha had on a mic and was right in Em’s face. They probably had mics up the aisle. There is no way Eminem would have let SBC put his naked ass in his face willingly.

nonny | 6/1/2009, 4:17 pm EST

if eminem was in on this then he is a great actor. if mtv and bruno set eminem up then i think that is really trashy and desperate of them. people saying eminem deserved this are way off the mark. eminem makes fun of pop culture in songs, he uses words, he doesn’t physically touch anyone. if sasha was a real comedian he would be able to just stand on stage with nothing but a mic and crack a load of jokes. but he can’t so he resorts to do something crude and unfunny.

Vance | 6/1/2009, 4:18 pm EST

First, if you watched the MTV Movie Awards live or taped and didn’t just see this video virally, you are excused from the conversation. Second, I always thought Eminem did homoerotic stuff like the Ken Kanniff skit and what not, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t be in on the joke. Third, who sits there unwittingly with another man falling down on them and ends up in that position? Isn’t there a point where you duck and cover your head. So of course Eminem was in on the joke.

shorty06 | 6/1/2009, 4:25 pm EST

MTV was in on it for sure, but Em obviously did not know…he was way too angry…and I absolutely cannot stand Sasha Baran Cohen…he is not funny…he’s just disgusting…and so was that stunt… For you people that say that Em somehow deserved it and that it is so funny…you really need to check yourself…it was disgusting…Cohen should be ashamed and so should MTV.

Jeff | 6/1/2009, 4:28 pm EST

In the first frame it looks like Eminem is super flexible and that he’s trying to rim himself! Awesome!
And the guy who was freaking out about a bare ass and bare balls in the face- he’s wearing a jock. Stop exaggerating. There was no ball visuals or contact. Ever play rugby? Shit like that happens all the time. Laugh it off, don’t get all defensive and emasculated. Also, it’s hilarious how disgusted people are, like how if gay guys have anal sex it’s disgusting and deviant, yet EVERY one of my straight buddies is an ass man and loves it more than p*ssy.

DGK | 6/1/2009, 4:33 pm EST

Had to be staged. No way is MTV going to mess with one of their biggest artists like Eminem like that. And I get the feeling the Em is prob a big SBC/Borat fan, so why not play along.

johnny | 6/1/2009, 4:36 pm EST

think I em should hit his ball sack for doing that crap. Its was sooo uncalled for. you gotta give em props for not kicking his ass.

nikole | 6/1/2009, 4:38 pm EST

eminem is larger than life, so deal with it all u haters. eminem doesnt need mtv at this point in his career & its very sad that their relationship will probably be over at this point (unless a massive apology is publicly distributued). as an eminem fan i was extremely disturbed and shocked by the prank. i twas uncalled for and too over the top. i didnt find it humorous at all really, and i think that the majority of the audience felt the same way. all u eminem haters need to go get lives. mtv… please lets get back to the music. you are not comedy central, stop with the lameo jokes. embarassing sumone of that kind of fame, who not to mention has just been through hell and back (death of best friend, rehab, and a devastating divorce), in front of millions of ppl, is way past rude & to me grounds for a boycott.

Andrew | 6/1/2009, 4:45 pm EST

Eminem sux and so does rap, it’s just a way for untalented knuckleheads to make what can barely be called music.

MTV is generally a disgrace ever since they gave up music for reality shows and cRAP. But this–was brilliant. SBC punked the boyyy but(t) good. Nutsacks to “Slim” and all his fans, LOL.

That gag WAS flat-out some hilarious piss-your-pants funny stuff!!! I’m still howling…

Peter | 6/1/2009, 5:23 pm EST

Why would Eminem take part in it? Voluntarily allowing another guy to shove his butt in your face doesn’t help maintain a “tough guy” persona. Of course, neither does storming out of the auditorium when everyone else is laughing at you. Probably had to get out before he started crying.

I think it was probably planned, but i dont know on Em’s part, MTV has gone down hill fast. MTV use to be a station you always wanted on, now its just a bunch of fake reality shows about some rich kids. I watch Fuse most of the time, Non stop videos.

Kendall | 6/1/2009, 5:54 pm EST

Yeah i heard that to, he got punched a few times at some after party. I thought everybody was in on the joke, but i guess eminem wasn’t. Been looking for a story or video of Cohen getting punched.

Not evryone can pick up a mic just spit some lyrics, it doesn’t work like that.

Enjoy hating on em, while he laughs all the way to the bank.

Fair enough you may not like rap music, thats cool, i’m not a great fan of pop music but i won’t go as far to say that it sucs and it’s for knuckleheads with no talent. (although majority of pop artists can;t sing to save their life)

Eminem is a lil whiny bitch if its not an act. He can poke fun at female singers in his songs, but he can’t take it when he’s being poke fun at.

preatorian74 | 6/1/2009, 6:02 pm EST

Em, if this wasn’t staged you really really need to look into hiring new “bodyguards”(real professionals won’t allow themselves to be branded as such) I’m in the business and NOONE would have put their crotch in my client’s face (unless they wanted her to)

Jim | 6/1/2009, 6:04 pm EST

All you people saying Em can dish it but not take it are idiots.

Ironically insulting somebody at face value – CLEAR – face value in maybe one line of a song or even like a tiny mention.

Is not the same as getting a grown man’s ass in your face on national TV with a whole theatre laughing at you.

Em arranged with Sacha for him to come down that’s why he’s mic’d and the cam is there.

But Sacha tricked him to do that.

I normally like SBC but he’s resorting to ass tactics lately. Desperate.

Blake | 6/1/2009, 7:15 pm EST

This just shows what stupid, uneducated losers the young people of my generation are. These are the same morons that have helped make MTV into the pathetic “reality” TV based station that it is. MTV isn’t all that much to blame for the mindless programming they’ve turned to either. They’re a television station that makes money by giving their audience what they want. It’s not their fault that the people that watch them have become retards. I also love all you out there that are saying Eminem “got what he deserved” because he pokes fun at other celebrities with his lyrics. He’s an artist who says what he feels and most of the stuff in his raps about others are true and his commentary about them and society as a whole is not only dead on but done with talent, creativity and genius. In other words it takes talent to put together the majority of the songs he has. There’s even some of songs I’m not a huge fan (like the one murdering his wife and just screaming into the microphone), but most of them were right on (which is why you people who are running your mouth now made him the biggest rapper of all time just a few short years ago) I mean Brittney is a talentless slut who doesn’t write her own music or have a good voice, Moby does blow (no pun intended), and Ja-Rule is a fake ass wannabe 2Pac. Sticking your ass in someone’s face not only isn’t humorous but it also takes absolutely no talent, like most of SBC’s other recent work . Most of you that like his movies never probably even saw his TV show which had a much higher creativity level than his movies. I saw Borat and thought it was the most overrated movie of all time. I thought some of it was funny (like when he poked fun at and embarrassed closed minded, racist rednecks) but most of it was just sorry ass slapstick comedy. Not even good slapstick comedy either..I mean we’re talking about wrestling ass naked with a fat man here!! Is that what you people call humor?? To answer all of your questions whether this incident was real or staged here is your answer:

Before the show SBC and MTV approached Em about doing something where “Bruno” was supposed to fly in, get caught on the speaker and then land on Eminem’s lap (which is why Em didn’t move when he easily could have)..Em was fully onboard, but then these jerk-offs had to go and deviate from what was agreed to with this ridiculous stunt.

Just another example of our generation not having any balls or respect..and for you that are going to say “but Eminem disrespects people all the time..” I say yeah, but he says things to them or about them plainly and bluntly..he doesn’t get them involved in something under false pretenses and then deceive and embarrass them. He didn’t invite Brittney onstage for a duet and then smack her in the face with his dick. These kids and even people my age (I’m 27) are just complete pussies. They gossip and talk behind people’s backs instead of addressing things like men, are lazy and don’t know how to work hard, and wouldn’t know smart, creative humor if it bit them in the face. The thing you people forget is Em is the one who challenged the censors and the FCC with his shocking and (at the time) unheard of lyrics so SBC could even do a stunt like this and this is how he’s repaid? Again, just a representation of how uneducated you people are. I’ve read some of these posts and most of you idiots can’t even spell or use proper grammar. You’re the reason why this once great nation is crumbling before our very eyes and being passed up by other countries. Our current celebs, politicians, and entertainers that you have made famous are just a reflection of that. I mean, you idolize people like Heidi Montag or that loser Spencer..THESE PEOPLE HAVEN’T DONE OR ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING!!! They put themselves on reality shows and make complete jackasses out of themselves. Even Eminem’s new album Relapse is a complete piece of garbage. I was looking forward to his best album to date considering he just lost his best friend and went through rehab, and with everything going on in the world around us. Instead we got songs like Crack A Bottle and 3AM. Thank God for people like TI, Justin Timberlake, and Kings of Leon. To all you ridiculous little imbeciles out there stop watching Borat for the 35th time and go read a god damn book, and stay in school so we can get back to the way things used to be.

There’s a huge difference between Em making verbal insults to/about someone and having a man land on top of you with his balls in your face and his legs around both sides of your head. MTV and SBC took it way too far. It’s just another reflection of how far down into the toilet MTV’s programming has gone. And, they weren’t Em’s bodyguards: It was Swifty and Bizzare from D-12.

Ali | 6/1/2009, 8:39 pm EST

i think what people have to remember is, MTV banned eminem’s songs from being played on their stations and everything for some time. this was after the FCC deemed the lyrics too explicit. so eminem had a rocky relationship with MTV but still performed. IF eminem didn’t know about this ‘prank’ (which is unlikley as he could quite easily sue, or even get SBC arrested if he wanted to) he knows that he sells more albums when MTV has his back.

although to be honest, this wasn’t funny. it’s not like i’m being uptight -i’m not especially an eminem fan, some of his stuff’s been good, some’s been average, but regardless, this SBC stunt was stupid. disgusting and not funny.
AND, eminem keeps his disses on wax, and he doesn’t physically touch anyone. like him and christina’s beef, he didn’t shove his ass in her face you know.
this stunt was stupid and pointless and i don’t know why MTV would want to make marshall look stupid when he’s only just bouncing back from a tough couple of years, so they’re opening him up to humiliation.
but nevertheless, sasha isn’t funny and this was stupid.

Blake, whose generation was Andy Kaufman from, and did he ever get anybody in any gags under false pretenses?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I just can’t wait until I can look back on my own generation with rose colored cheeks (pun intended) and forget that everything in history–entertainment included–has a precedent. What Cohen is doing is nothing new, it’s just packaged (again pun intended) differently.

Amanda | 6/1/2009, 9:16 pm EST

The show would have been more funny if they let Andy do more, and kept stupid celebrities with no talent out of it. Twilight (the movie) sucked and shouldn’t have won, I think we can all agree. But what do you expect? Only 13 year old girls vote for these things anyway. I can’t help liking Kristen Stewart for though, maybe because she’s so awkward and whatever about everything. Was it me, or did she look kind of hungover at the show? Haha.

Blake has good thoughts. This generation is becoming robots.Almost all teens/20’s have a computer,ipod(mp3),and a phone.They idolized images on TV instead of real people they know. They are not living at al, wasting their time with the same crap over and over again. Having as little communication with the real world.Try to have a decent conversation with them, most just laugh because they can’t. I don’t care about eminem but to have something like that funny is just stupid, that says more about the people that enjoyed that stupid stuff.
Stop wasting you life with the same shit, “open your eyes before you die” (immortal technique)…

Black Hole Sun | 6/1/2009, 9:29 pm EST

I have no idea if this was scripted or otherwise, and based on the conflicting reports, we won’t truly know what went on until Em himself says something. But if this wasn’t planned, I have to say that it’s pretty funny that a guy who loves taking a dump on other celebrities can’t handle the jokes himself. Can’t handle the heat, then leave the kitchen, man.

srowe | 6/1/2009, 9:36 pm EST

Definitely planned. You’ve seen Andy Kaufman. But, unfortunately Eminem sucks and luckily Mr. Cohen is funny. Mtv sucks and so does reality tv. Get the fuck off of your computers and do something constructive. Wait, I’m on the computer. Nevermind.

seriously | 6/1/2009, 9:41 pm EST

it was a staged act that, yes, may have gone wrong.

and for the comments that eminem “talently” puts down people – putting down others is still putting down others. just because he slurs the words to make them rhyme doesn’t mean i am going to respect it any more than the middle schooler who is thinking the same thing.

as for SBC, i think it’s overboard, but we all love this s^^t.

christ, all in all, we were entertained – if not at the stunt, than at our own thought of being superior to the childish acts of MTV.

Russ | 6/1/2009, 10:00 pm EST

This was great and hopefully not staged. Eminem’s music sounds so dated it’s hilarious. He sucked on Jimmy Kimmel and lip synced on the MTV Movie Awards. He sucks.

"blake" (less words next time) | 6/1/2009, 10:06 pm EST

It’s called a “Water cooler moment” (Google it).
These moments used to be impromptu but considering it is what people talk about the most, award shows now create these moments so that people watch them.

Luke Meighan | 6/1/2009, 10:07 pm EST

That stunt was not funny to me. You can spread herpes that way.

Ah my poopinsack | 6/1/2009, 10:08 pm EST

ahh haaha haaha.

ps – Blake you’re lame.

red star | 6/1/2009, 10:23 pm EST

clearly staged. If you saw a half naked man dropping towards you, u would move out of the way. If u look back at the video, sbc is able to land perfectly on Em. I think it was ured to give Em an exit that would be memorable like lil’ wayne’s on FNMTV a while back.

Stunt | 6/1/2009, 10:43 pm EST

No way a guy lands right on his face like that from the ceiling without it being a stunt.

Em still has Relapse 2 coming out later this year, this will keep him in ppl’s minds for the rest of 2009

kw | 6/1/2009, 10:46 pm EST

it was an ugly moment in mtv’s history it turned my stomach. no respect shown to eminem. no other person would have enjoyed that unless they were gay. sacha was trying to get him fired up for his own reasons maybe to get eminem to write a song to make him famous.i hope he kicks his butt in court.

kw | 6/1/2009, 10:53 pm EST

boo mtv. that was crude.

Smart Girl | 6/1/2009, 10:57 pm EST

Liam, how do you know twilight is garbage if you have never seen the movie? if you saw the movie than you are entitled to say that it sucked! Hello!

Paul | 6/1/2009, 11:28 pm EST

Eminem was in heaven almost,he sure hated to get a mouthful of panties.

Paul | 6/1/2009, 11:31 pm EST

Enima is in love now!!!!

anigma | 6/1/2009, 11:35 pm EST

This is emandems claim to fame,after 20 years this is all he will be remembered for! His grill and somebodys privates!! ha ha ha

anigma | 6/1/2009, 11:39 pm EST

What does this fellow eminem do for a living? Seriously no one buys this crap he records do they? They sell videos now ,not music.

Jo | 6/2/2009, 12:11 am EST

That was utter disrespect to Eminem……the only reason they did it is to try and poke fun back at him for the album…and the fact that he has been to those awards in a while

Anon A Moose | 6/2/2009, 12:41 am EST

Maybe Eminem should record a cover version of TAINTed Love. Muah-ha-ha!

Lacey | 6/2/2009, 12:48 am EST

Blake is a god damn genius.

Bryan | 6/2/2009, 12:57 am EST

I thought it was funny, but not staged. During the true live showing, the censors actually missed the first time Em said “Fuck”, and also, the sound completely cut out and they didn’t even show the nominees for Best Male Performance. All they showed was Em and his body guards fighting to get Cohen off of them, and after a minue or 2 Efron just walked up to the stage to accept his bullshit award. Oh, and the only good parts about the MTV Movie Awards are the skits if they’re funny, and the performances if they have good artists lined up for it. The awards are a joke, come on, Twilight beating out Dark Knight for best movie is complete bullshit. Fuck all the god-damned tweens that voted for shitty movies like Twilight and HSM 3 and the shitty actors in them.

Jethro | 6/2/2009, 12:58 am EST

Eminem, Cohen and MTV planned the whole thing. First off, Cohen was lowered directly into Eminem’s lap. Second, Eminem’s reaction was completely phony. He stormed out of the theater – yeah, ok. Third, if Eminem wasn’t in on it, MTV would be hearing from Eminem’s lawyers. Just goes to show how gullible MTV’s viewers are.

Jethro | 6/2/2009, 1:01 am EST

P.S. This whole column is just an attempt to get you to watch commercials.

Blake | 6/2/2009, 1:17 am EST

Bill, I DO own an ad agency and run a magazine (which I’m also a partial owner of)..I also made it past 2nd grade, which is why I know how to use the words YOUR & YOU’RE in the way they were meant to be used…as in “YOU’RE an illiterate jackass..”

Choppy, you made some very good points and although you disagree with me I’m glad you wrote an intelligent well thought out response..I don’t think I made myself completely clear though..I think SBC is a talented guy.. The way he gets into those characters is actually some really good acting, and he has a lot of stuff that is nothing short of brilliant. I just thought this particular stunt was kind of obnoxious and that he unfortunately has to dumb himself down to appeal to our society. My beef is more with the people who watch MTV and who have commented on all of the posts I have read, as well as for the idiots who represent our generation as being a bunch of stupid, lazy losers. No more time to comment though..Still working!! Thank you all for listening to my crazy rant (and the 1st time I have ever posted a comment on a website). I’ll check back in for your responses (good or bad) when I have time..Whether or not you agree with me, try to come up with responses that don’t further prove the points I made in my earlier post.. we have A LOT of smart people out there and pretty soon we’re the ones that are going to be running this world so let’s cut the b/s and start really shining so we can lift this country out of the rut it’s in..

stfu | 6/2/2009, 1:33 am EST

its what the stupid fuckhead gets for doing that stupid DJ Hero Shit

RSTU | 6/2/2009, 2:39 am EST

Eminem is a gay fish

odlbuthip | 6/2/2009, 4:13 am EST

What the hell happened to the MTV Movie Awards? They used to be funny and hip. This year, the host was unfunny, the “jokes” were awful, the production was sloppy, and the visual gags repulsive. In past years, the humor has always been of the eyebrow-raising variety, but this year the writers abandoned any pretense of maintaining SOME taste, and apparently believed that multiple “f-bombs” strung together equal big laughs. Sadly, they found any number of “stars” willing to abase themselves by delivering their “jokes”. Is it just me or, when a dignified oscar-winning actor of a certain age gets up and sings a song peppered with obscenities, doesn’t it make him seem a wee bit desperate to appeal to a younger audience? Amazingly, when Eminem (Eminem!) left the auditorium, after having Sacha Baron Cohen’s junk rammed up his nose, he seemed the only person in the audience that recognized the boundaries of good taste had been breached. That’s scary. And no, by the look on his face, I don’t think Em was in on the joke, regardless of the spin they try to put on it now.

odlbuthip | 6/2/2009, 4:26 am EST

And Blake… I love your original rant! You hit every mark dead on.

D | 6/2/2009, 5:13 am EST

How can you have an article for a subject that asked a question and then you do not answer the question? What a waste of time!

Deb23 | 6/2/2009, 5:50 am EST

Eminem is always humiliating people. Now it’s his turn.

This has messed up his image, so he’s gonna be mad.

Sasha has some guts to try and pull off a stunt like this.

Mike | 6/2/2009, 6:20 am EST

People of some age remember good taste flying out the window with the advent of reality tv.

The young ones don’t even know the difference, and never will.

thedetoxg | 6/2/2009, 6:53 am EST

well eminem should of punched him, its hard toimagine one of the hardest rappers ever gets some guys ass in his facein front of millions of people and walks away, mtv def set it up and why? i wouldnt be surprised if will RELAPSE from this and go crazy.

ALBANIA | 6/2/2009, 10:19 am EST

Fuck all you that dont like eminem

BonerStabone | 6/2/2009, 10:38 am EST

Roadman | 6/2/2009, 10:53 am EST

This was planned just like everything else at the M TV awards show. It was tasteless and and not flattering for the award that was given. It was not funny.

Yuki | 6/2/2009, 11:37 am EST

This was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. I have watched it so many times, and each time, I laugh til I cry! Yeah, it would have been funnier if Em was not in on it, but obviously he was. Good job for both, though.

Cirrhosis Pete | 6/2/2009, 12:07 pm EST

Eminem performs two songs at the MTV Movie Awards= Minor coverage at best.

Eminem gets teabagged by Bruno= National coverage and a whole lotta media speculation. Promotes an album and a film at the same time.

So yeah, everyone was in on it.

nikole | 6/2/2009, 1:09 pm EST

@ andrew… you must be an ignorant ahole, because I am not 17, and i didnt say that “listening to eminem means you have a life” so obviously you cant read. i said “you eminem haters NEED TO GET LIVES”. so if u dont get the difference in those two statements then you must be lacking a brain. and yes the prakn was WAY over the top (in my opinion), maybe some ppl find that kind of humor funny, not me… and as I said the majority of the audience didn’t seem to find it all that entertaining either. tell me what would have been more over the top, wagging his lil dingdong in eminems face instead?

jarr | 6/2/2009, 1:12 pm EST

preach it blake. everything you’re saing is right on.

nikole | 6/2/2009, 1:23 pm EST

@ blake. i agree with everything you are saying except that eminems new cd is garbage. i have heard this from a number of ppl who have later returned to tell me that i was right, that the cd grows on you, just like his other albums, & it is actually very very good. hello, my mom, stay wide awake, beautiful, deja vu, for old times sake, 3am, same song and dance, we made you, and must be the ganga (whoa i just named the whole album pretty much) are fabulous songs. this eminem cd is one of his best lyrically and the beats are doper then ever. if you have ever been a true eminem fan, you should give this album some time to appreciate it fully.

nikole | 6/2/2009, 1:28 pm EST

one more thing: it really pisses me off that a lot of ppl still harp on the “eminem is a homophobe” thing. THIS IS THE FARTHEST THING FROM THE TRUTH. ask yourself how many times you say something is “gay” or how many times you have said the word”f**got” in your lifetime. unless you are saint (insert name here) i wouldnt go making judgements about someone you really don’t know. my opinion is that those who want to keep draggin out this homophobe crap, don’t get eminem or what hes about or what his music is truly about either.

harping on... | 6/2/2009, 2:53 pm EST

“eminem is a homophobe”

queefbubbles | 6/2/2009, 6:00 pm EST

the only entertaining aspect of the entire night. em loves chode. get over it you eminem apologists.

SAFC 4 Life | 6/2/2009, 7:14 pm EST

I’m not hating on Eminem but I think this stunt was vary smart of SBC. The reason I say this is because he used a top rapper to promote his new movie. You can question the people who go out to see it but by doing this, more people will go out and see it! He is doing exacley the same thing as Eminem does. Eminem involves other famous people in his songs to get publicity. Simple as that. He may genuinley dislike that person but that doesn’t mean he has to sing a song about them. What has Jessica Simpson and Amy Winehouse done to Eminem what justifies what he says in his song? I may be wrong but I don’t think they’ve done anything.

I understand that SBC done this stunt face to face but in principal, its the same thing. Em sings about doing things to other people face to face (ie to Benzino and Ja regarding physical violance and joking acts on the same level as SBC) but the main point is, Em has never had the balls to do it.

To finish, the stunt may be childish, immature, pathetic or any other word you could think of to describe it but it was smart. Well done SBC, you’ve given Eminem a taste of his own medicine.

What SBC done was a publicity stunt and it will get the desired effect. Congratulations to him. He is also giving the mojority of people what they want. Its a bit like when 50 Cent first broke on to the scene. He picked the biggest rapper at the time (Ja Rule) and dissed him. It was all planned so that people would say “who’s this guy coming up dissing Ja?” It was a marketing campaight. Together with Em and Dre plus the fact he got shot 9 times, he came out on top. The quality of his debut album obviosly helped.

It’s ok to hate on Em…Naw…Just jokin..naw..I’m not..Yes I am…Naw…I hate Em… in Jest..He deserved it..in jest…Naw…He’s a moran..in jest…He just got Borat’s undivided attention..in jest..Everything I’m saying is a joke…I’m a joker who walks and looks like a tough rapper…in jest…

Malibu | 6/3/2009, 8:23 pm EST

Ok so Eminem has made a statement saying that is was all staged and it actually turned out better than they had planned so everyone can stop stressing about it now. . . .but I do have to say I was nearly on the floor laughing when I saw this happen because all that was going through my mind was what if it wasn’t planned, I love Eminem im a big fan but that thought just made me laugh even more. I can’t stand that Bruno/borat/sasha or whatever he’s called but this stunt was in my opinion hillarious!!
The only person I felt sorry for was Zac Efron he got abit of a s**t anouncement for his award he just looked confused. Poor thing!
