** The Kingman segment with Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello. He proposes building a supersized Mosque in the town and is met with extremely hostile Islamophobia, one man even explicitly saying "I'm racist against Muslims" after Dr. Nira said that he didn't want to imply that anyone there was racist. Another man angrily says that, and we stress that this is a direct quote, "black people aren't welcome in Kingman either, but we tolerate them." He adds that, had they been allowed to bring weapons to the meeting, [[ImpliedDeathThreat then it would have been a different story all together.]] On a scripted CringeComedy show, this would be one thing, but the fact that these are real people and their reactions are ''genuine'' is chilling.

* CriticalResearchFailure: When asked by Morad to portray a ''Chinese'' tourist, Jason Spencer's, er, "[[AsianSpeekeeEngrish performance]]" includes the words "sushi", "konnichiwa", and "Ho Chi Minh City", among others.

This belongs to Trivia section.


* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Many conservative politicians such as Roy Moore, Dana Rohrabacher and Sarah Palin complained that this show damaged their reputations and costed them their jobs and income, ''especially'' in the case of Jason Spencer. Spencer saw so much backlash from his performance on the show that he resigned from his position as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, though even without this show Spencer has a long history of making racially inappropriate comments and endorsing racism, this show itself was merely video evidence capturing him proving that all allegations against him of racist behavior are true.

To be precise, he was a member of the Georgia Ho R, rather than a member of the Georgia Senate.


* CrossesTheLineTwice: Convincing a then serving United States state senator (he has resigned, no guesses as to why) to drop his pants and scream the N-word on camera is only the tip of the iceberg. The shit Baron Cohen gets up to in this series makes Film/{{Borat}} look [[SerialEscalation positively subdued.]]
