No, we don’t really care about the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. But the 3 minutes of good stuff have made its way online, and this clip is pretty entertaining. Sacha Baron Cohen flies in (literally), in character as Brüno, to present the award for best male performance. However, he doesn’t quite make it to the stage. After hitting an obstacle, he falls… Into Eminem’s lap, in a perfect 69 position, with his bare naked ass and barely covered balls right in Em’s face.
Many sources (including one Ryan Seacrest) are claiming that Eminem was not in on the joke. The stunt seems too perfectly executed to not have been carefully orchestrated with the cooperation of all involved parties, but Eminem’s “performance” was decidedly better than any scene in 8 Mile.
The Andy Samberg / Will Ferrell / JJ Abrams “cool guys never watch explosions” bit was alright, too.
The camera was on Em before it happened. He was mic’d as well. Aside from that, I’d guess Em didn’t know beforehand.
I don’t think Em was mic’d. Bruno was mic’d and I think between that and the Mic on the camera you could here Eminem.
If it wasn’t staged, I think Em woulda avoided Bruno altogether. There was plenty of time for him to see what was happening and get out of the way.
Especially with the past Triumph thing, do you think MTV would intentionally humiliate Eminem like that?
I think he may have known something was going to happen but not to the extent of asshole/balls in his face. He does a good job acting if that was fake.
Also, he turns around halfway up the ramp and scowls at the camera. THAT felt fake…..you would think if he was really pissed, he woulda been out of there a lot quicker, would not have looked back, and not walked out through the audience…..idk.
Even if it was fake, it was funny. If it was real, it was still funny, but kinda fucked up to do that to Em….
Haha this is great…. Eminem getting T-BAGGED out of all people. He loves to dish out the haterade on Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears, but when someone tries to mock him, he storms out like a baby. This gangster image these rappers try to uphold is hilarious.
By the way, how impressive is the wire work when they dropped Bruno’s crotch DIRECTLY on Eminem’s head in the middle of a crowded audience? They must have practiced it a while to get it perfect. Eminem knew that a guy will drop on him before hand but not with a g-string though.
LOL having someone’s balls on his face is about the best thing to happen to Eminem in years. Even if it was fake it was still pretty funny.
Unfortunately, it apparently was staged:

Totally staged from Bruno/MTV. Was probably staged to some degree from Eminem…he may have agreed to having Bruno come down from the ceiling into his lap or something.
I’m not sure about the ass to mouth bit though ROFL.
