Sacha Baron Cohen showcased the comedic genius that earned him the Comedic Genius Award at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday night.
The 49-year-old’s acceptance speech began with him fully in character as Borat, who was then interrupted by Cohen’s Ali G character. Finally, Cohen arrived as himself. He began his actual speech, and just when it seemed like all the hijinks were over, Bruno Gehard popped in.
All in all, Cohen used the speech to address the inappropriate and insensitive nature of his past satirical characters. “Before anyone else does it, I am officially canceling myself,” he said. “I was actually really looking forward to this after losing at the Oscars.”
