Come here, my love.

Jachnoon, President

Prime Minister Aladeen.

Jachnoon. Nadal. I have to be back

at the palace in an hour.

Zoey thinks I'm at yoga.

I have great news,

We are just days

away from testing the new missiles.

I have re-engineered

the oxidizing ducts

and the payload

delivery systems,

But you'll be happy to know,

the missile is now pointy!

Who cares if it's pointy'?

What?

You do.

You care if it's pointy,

Why would I care

about such a trivial detail?

Are you serious?

Are you serious right now?

Of course I'm serious,

That's why you

had me executed!

The shape of the missile has nothing to

do with the payload delivery.

That's what I said!

That's what I said the first time!

No, that's what I said,

and you went crazy.

No! You said

Professor Popeye this.

Professor Popeye

is a cartoon.

No, I know this!

So, we're opening

but I'm going to have to take a

break for a little bit because

I'm pregnant.

What?

Are you having a boy

or an abortion?

Hello, gentlemen,

How you doin?

Are you guys friends

of the deceased?

Do you want me to say this

in front of his widow?

I was his lover.

No. That is

not true.

I saw him perform

with the Globetrotters.

I thought

he was outstanding. I befriended him.

No, it's

a different person.

His message

of don't worry and being happy

was so powerful.

No, this is

Bobby McFerrin. I told you this outside,

Whatever the scandal

you went through,

you're still

the best golfer in the world,

Let's go.

O-M-G.

Oh, my God.

Oh'

Oh'

Zoe?

That's some good head!

That is called payback

and it feels so good!

How did it feel for you'?

How did it feel for you?

I prefer it with goats,

Where is

the Supreme Leader?

No, no.

Now that is

called payback!

Oh, great!

Don't touch it,

Don't touch it,

You don't have

to touch it.

Sorry. I was...

Just give us

We don't...

Just give me

a couple of millimeters to myself,

Sacha Baron Cohen

Sacha Noam Baron Cohen (born 13 October 1971) is a British actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer. Baron Cohen has created and portrayed fictional characters Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Brüno Gehard, and Admiral General Aladeen. Like his idol Peter Sellers, he adopts a variety of accents and guises for his characters and rarely appears out of character.In most of his routines, Baron Cohen's characters interact with unsuspecting people, documentary style, who do not realise they are being set up for comic situations and self-revealing ridicule. His other work includes voicing King Julien XIII in the Madagascar film series (2005–2012) and appearing in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Hugo (2011) and Les Misérables (2012). He made a cameo as a BBC News Anchor in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). In 2016, he played an English football hooligan brother of an MI6 spy in the comedy film Grimsby, and co-starred as Time in the fantasy sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass. In 2018, Baron Cohen created and starred in Who Is America? for Showtime, his first television project since Da Ali G Show. Baron Cohen was named Best Newcomer at the 1999 British Comedy Awards for The 11 O'Clock Show, and since then, he has received two BAFTA Awards for Da Ali G Show, several Emmy nominations, a nomination for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay, and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his work in the feature film Borat. After the release of Borat, Baron Cohen stated that because the public had become too familiar with the characters, he would retire Borat and Ali G. Similarly, after the release of Brüno, Baron Cohen stated he would also retire the title character. At the 2012 British Comedy Awards, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award, accepting the award while reprising his Ali G character. In 2013, he received the BAFTA Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. more…
