Went on Friday night. I haven't laughed so hard, so often, in so long. Not that bits weren't lame, or a bit mean--there were. But SBC has a knack for skewering 3-4 taboos in a single line.

And....best fight scene ever.

This should totally be nominated for best feature documentary.

I just got back from watching it
That fight scene will be burned in my brain for some time
...oh... eww....

tho the look on the faces of the peeps at the conference almost made up for it :)

Are you sure they were fighting?

And as if it were scripted, the sequel:

the jew egg was a little over the top but that nice elderly jewish couple made up for it.

STOMP IT! STOP IT BEFORE IT HATCHES!

It was so funny, but I kept getting distracted by the Hebrew (which SBC speaks instead of Khazakh), and the subtitles didn't always match up - often in really weird ways.

I'm amazed he wasn't killed and/or arrested within the first 10 minutes of the film.

I thought it was Hebrew! See? Watching Gali Atari, Izhar Cohen and Dana International a gazillion times each did learn me something.

Max felt SBC behaved boorishly to nice people. Which he did. But I whet myself nearly.

Yup, he spoke Hebrew and his wrestling partner spoke Russian.

He did behave boorishly, but I think he made his point quite well. Especially at the rodeo.

I loved that the rodeo guy mimicked gays by, basically, doing a Shirley Temple dance routine.

Always funny to see a clueless straight guy act "gay."
