Sacha Baron Cohen dons yet another wacky -- albeit this time tyrannical -- persona on May 11, 2012, when his new comedy "The Dictator" hits theaters. In the film -- which co-stars John C. Reilly, Megan Fox, Anna Faris and renowned funny man Ben Kingsley -- the "Borat" and "Bruno" yukster plays a foreign despot "who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed."

The Larry Charles-directed film is loosely based on the Saddam Hussein novel "Zabibah and the King" -- though, truth be told, the title character looks suspiciously like the bastard love-child of Fidel Castro and Kramer from "Seinfeld."

No matter -- check out the trailer for "The Dictator" below and see if it doesn't captivate you with laughter.
