Sacha
Baron
Cohen:
Satire
with
a
Hidden
Camera
and
No
Mercy

Turning
Cringe
into
Commentary

Sacha
Baron
Cohen
redefined
ambush

satire.
By
creating
characters
like
Borat,
Ali
G,
and
Brüno,
he
inserted
absurd
personas
into
real
situations
to
expose
real
ignorance,
racism,
and
arrogance.
His
technique?
Pretend
to
be
dumber
than
the
room
—
and
let
the
room
destroy
itself.
From
convincing
politicians
to
say
outrageous
things
to
catching
bigots
on
hidden
camera,
Baron
Cohen
made
satire
dangerous
again
—
and
viral
long
before
TikTok.

Cohen’s
DNA

At

Bohiney.com,
we
riff
off
Cohen’s
immersion
strategy
with
pieces
like
“Startup
Founder
Doesn’t
Know
He’s
in
a
Ponzi
Scheme”
and
“Billionaire
Thinks
Tax
Shelter
Is
a
Literal
Bunker.”
His
fearless
exposure
technique
inspires
our
fictional
exposés
and
character-driven
absurdities.
He
proves
that
if
you
want
to
show
the
emperor
has
no
clothes
—
sometimes
you
have
to
dress
like
his
tailor.

Money
from
Mayhem

Baron
Cohen
turned
cringe
into
cash
through
films,
series,
streaming
rights,
and
speaking
gigs.
His
work
consistently
grossed
hundreds
of
millions
worldwide,
showing
that
satire
can
be
wildly
profitable
when
disguised
as
entertainment.
Modern
satirists
can
learn
from
him:
build
a
character
so
compelling
people
forget
it’s
an
act
—
until
they’re
the
punchline.
And
then
collect
royalties
while
they
Google
what
just
happened.
