Hello all of you beautiful peoples und velkommen aus der funkyzeit world of me, Bruno, und my fans, und alles der leading designer kraft fashion celebrities and interviews with beautiful ladies und mannen mit gorgeous bodies mit long schfonshenschtooken! Wow!” A gay interviewer from Austria.

Name: Bruno The Man Bruno is an Austrian fashion and celebrity reporter. Like Ali G and Borat, he first appeared and he travels the world to interview his subjects. Bruno is crazy about style. Bruno is also gay, but he doesn’t tell this to the people he interviews. Instead, he makes lots of that he is gay. This, and Bruno’s Austrian/ English accent is what makes him so funny. For example, in one scene, Bruno goes to Alabama, which he describes as “the gayest place in America” (in fact it’s very conservative). At an American Football game, Bruno dances with the cheerleaders and is verbally abused by the crowd. He later interviews one of the players, Shaud Williams. Bruno wants to date other members of the team. But he doesn’t know if he is allowed to date them before the end of the football season. Williams becomes quite angry with Bruno’s “gay” questions.

On another occasion, Bruno takes dancing lessons at a barn dance in Georgia. He is attracted to Jim, his instructor. While dancing with different partners, Bruno asks about Jim, saying, “I’m not going to look, but is he looking at me right now?” He attempts to make Jim jealous, and when dancing in a group, Bruno tries to dance with him. Jim avoids Bruno. Bruno finally confronts Jim and asks him to make his last night in town “special”. Jim walks away without responding. In another segment of the show, Bruno is at a gun show in Arkansas, interviewing a man called Daniel. Bruno asks increasingly loaded questions, beginning with, “What’s your biggest gun?” Daniel is polite and plays along, but eventually clarifies, “. . . I’m not gay”. Bruno asks why he’s denying it. Daniel says, “If you call me gay one more time, I’m fixing to knock every tooth outta your head, you understand what I’m saying? Cause I told you that I’m not gay.” Daniel can see Bruno pondering where to take it from this point forward. “One more time, I said, so be careful what you say. Be real careful what you say,” Daniel adds. The credits end. Lives: Austria und New York Hobbies: FashionDesignKraft und celebrities watching. Body toning mit Johnson baby oil und funky parties.
