| Must Watch: ‘Borat’ Star Sacha Baron Cohen Pulls Classic Prank At BAFTA Britannia Awards |

I was going to describe the actual prank that actor Sacha Baron Cohen pulled at the recent BAFTA LA Jaguar Britannia Awards, but ultimately decided that this was something you should see with no knowledge of what was going on or what is going to happen. No one does pranks quite like the star of movies like Borat, Bruno, and The Dictator, who was on hand to receive the Charlie Chaplin Award For Excellence In Comedy when he made his move. The crowd reaction is priceless, including some big celebrities, as you can easily hear the people in the audience who are aware of Baron Cohen’s reputation and laugh freely, while others look on worried, unsure of what’s going on and what they should be doing in this moment. The end result is that this may just be the best “thank you” speech we’ve ever seen. You can see a pair of videos below, one showing the set up and the prank, and the other starting with the prank and showing the response.

| And Fittingly, The Final Movie Ever Rented Out At A Blockbuster Store Is…
Recently it was announced that Blockbuster would be closing their final 300 retail store locations and ending their rental-by-mail service to focus solely on digital offerings. The final nail in the coffin of the video store experience, sadly, for many of the younger generation who will never know what we know, unless one of the few rental stores you’ll likely still find sprinkled around happens to be in your area. The plan was to have everything shut down by early 2014, but it appears that they might be in a hurry to get things done. The final movie has been rented out, and it’s a perfectly fitting final rental: This Is The End. Continue below to see the tweeted image of the final rental, as well as a response from co-writer, co-director, and star Seth Rogen.
