I must have seen Brüno 20 times and I'm still shocked and amazed each time.
Watching it in the movie theater was best - everyone was audibly reacting. The audience is hit relentlessly by a body blow of gags, outrageousness and disbelief.
"Here's who you've been waiting for - Ha-rri-son Ford"
"Fuck off"
I loved the fact that the agent, below, was for real.
Tom Cruise really surprised me in that one. What a weird and ridiculous character to play and he nailed it. The stupid huge hands and dancing was his request too:
‘Look, I’d love to play this character, but I want to have fat hands and I’m gonna dance.'
I imagine producers were like "odd request, but sure let's roll with it".
Yes, I kept asking myself if that was Tom Cruise but kept doubting myself because it couldn't have been. Eventually I realized that it was indeed Tom Cruise, which made the character even funnier. On top of fat fingers, I think he wore a fat suit in order to play Les too. Talk about sacrificing your handsome and fit image to portray a character.
