So the whole thing at the end with Giuliani
I thought it would be worse
He was creep AF but she did look to be in her early 20's and she was the one who untucked his pants and it really did look like he was tucking them back in.
Was hoping it was more of a bombshell than just creepy

I thought this one was much funnier than the first one. Maybe I've gotten really desensitized over the last 14 years, but I didn't find myself cringing at anything. There were definitely plenty of scenes that were clearly going for shock value, like the debutante ball where Tutar unwittingly flashed here undies soaked in faux menstrual blood. There wasn't even any bit where I felt he was in any kind of danger or doing something to incite scary hatred from the crowd, unlike in the first film.
It's hard to tell what parts, if any, was him or Tutar really putting one over on their targets and what was scripted. The Republican Women's convention thing did seem like Tutar genuinely making a bunch of conservative women uncomfortable but still wanting to be supportive. The "PMS" store he went to for faxing the premiere was clearly scripted. Anyways, I thought almost all of the bits landed, whether they were scripted or real.
And the Guliani thing at the end, I didn't think it was as shocking as the hype. The whole bedroom scene could've been faked as far as I know. Either his face was blurry or we saw his back. Meanwhile in the interview parts of the scene you'd see him clearly. So for me it more like some big joke at Guliani's expense, where he's clearly an unhinged individual but it isn't as scandalous at it was made out to be. But then I hear in news reports and see in articles that Guliani is saying his actions were taken out of context, which is essentially him admitting that was him with his hand down his crotch in a hotel bedroom with a 20-year old woman. I can only shake my head at this one.

I agree I wouldn't be too judgmental against Giuliani, but it was poor judgment and creepy on his part (including copping feels) to end up alone in a hotel bedroom with an apparently vulnerable young woman. I think the funny part is he fashions himself as a political hit man helping dig up dirt on others, and he would make a federal case about something like this, or even a fraction of something like this, if he had it on a political opponent.

Wow! I can't believe the first film was 14 years ago. Time sure does fly!

Him and the fat guy rolling around in the bed naked might have been the craziest crap I ever saw. First film.
Everyone's talking about the shirt on the bed, but I thought a different part of that segment was much more shocking: Giuliani saying that he believed COVID-19 was developed in a Chinese laboratory, and spread intentionally by the Chinese. Serious conspiracy-nut stuff. Did anyone else know he'd been saying this? I've heard it before, of course (and there's worse stuff said in the movie), but only from fringe figures, not the so-called President's so-called lawyer. Chilling.
But mostly it was funny.

In a normal time, yes that would be the most damning part. However we now live in a crazy time where that might register in some peoples brains as the crazy part, but it's part of the new normal of the crazy time so we shrug it off since screaming about it falls on deaf ears.

Watch the first Colbert interview in the post above, starting about at the six minute mark. During the "Wuhan Flu" scene at the rally he probably was in some danger.

I think he did show some of his bits, or at least very very close to

There were parts where his bits were getting slammed. Hard. So I guess there was danger there.
