There was a very strong reaction to the first episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show, Who Is America?

Two words, puppy pistol.

While audiences in Ireland were extremely familiar with Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy following his brilliant work on Da Ali Show, his global success with Borat really sent Baron Cohen's stock into the stratosphere. Of course, we've all seen with his unique and hilarious interviewing style before - say something stupid, supply enough rope and wait for the person to hang themselves with their own ridiculous answers - but since Borat's cultural learnings of America made benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan, the comedian has switched his focus. Bruno, The Dictator, and The Brothers Grimsby are just some of this feature films that moved away from the social-political landscape of the U.S. but the comedian was back on familiar territory in Who Is America? The first episode aired on Channel 4 last night and while not all the skits and characters tickled the funny bone - the interview with Bernie Sanders and the ex-con artist who turns his shit into pieces of art fell a bit flat - but one segment definitely got people talking. If you saw the episode - or read our preview - you'll know exactly what we're talking about. We're intrigued to see what the second episode has in store. https://twitter.com/rmayemsinger/status/1018566908277239809 https://twitter.com/RealMattLucas/status/1018850963665444864 https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel/status/1018701563680866304 https://twitter.com/SarahKSilverman/status/1018721552425091072 https://twitter.com/FinnCole/status/1018969462278705154 https://twitter.com/PaddyMcKenna/status/1018975930327461888 https://twitter.com/francismmaxwell/status/1018996561777516549 https://twitter.com/AnthonyRubio5/status/1018966534172143616 https://twitter.com/sammygilb/status/1018971965212839936 https://twitter.com/billybragg/status/1018985459911921664 https://twitter.com/CourteneyCox/status/1018652185825980416 https://twitter.com/DavidJollyFL/status/1018647526508060673 https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/1018647561584939008 https://twitter.com/BasilZoccali/status/1018811682238283776
