Bruno, Another Comedy With Viral? Matt, June 1, 2009May 3, 2010 NOTE: Yes, I know it’s old, but I felt the need to point it out in light of last night’s appearance on the MTV Movie Awards. The official “meinspace” page for Bruno has launched, and what can I say? It’s very funny. From the German disco music, to every Matthew McConaughey movie being in his favorite films list, it’s all just very funny. They did a good job with this, unlike a certain viral that was launched a few days ago(Funny People). I dont have too much to say about it except that I think ‘Bruno’ will be better or on par with Borat. You can check the site right here: http://meinspace.com/bruno. This, coupled with Bruno showing up at the MTV Movie Awards, continues a recent trend of comedies doing viral campaigns, as we mentioned the other day with Funny People. We’ll see if this kind of thing will work for this genre of film. Check out Bruno’s MTV appearance: MTV Shows As of now, it is unclear whether Eminem knew Bruno would be doing that and whether or not this will be in the film. What do you think? Bruno opens everywhere July 10th. Update: Eminem was in on the prank Viral Marketing BrunoFunny PeopleMTVMTV Movie Awards
