What do you guys think of Borat?

[Guest]

So I watched Borat on Letterman two nights ago and Conan last night. They showed a clip from his movie where he talks to three feminists, by the time the clip was over I was literally rolling on the floor. I don't know how I feel about the obvious Arab stereotype, I can see how it would piss a lot of people off, but I just can't help but laugh my ass off. After the interview he changed into a spandex suit and did a song on a keytar, and it was actually kind of good. Im looking forward to seeing his movie tomorrow.

I haven't seen a whole lot of him (just a handful of Ali G episodes) and then all the trailers and clips from the movie available in commercials and online. But I am stoked for the movie. I think its going to be great.

Ali G is hilarious, and Borat is my favorite one of his characters. Sasha Baron Cohen doesn't care if people hate it, its hilarious. Booyakasha.

He was also the French driver in Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby with Will Ferrel. It's debatable that Kazakhstan is an "Arab" country. 50% of the people are Sunni Muslims but the country has been part of Russia until recently. It's located between Russia and China in central Asia and Kazakh's are a distinct ethnic group. Ethnic makeup is Kazakhs (55.8 per cent), Russians (28.3 per cent), Ukranians (3.3 per cent), Uzbeks, and Germans. They're a little closer to the "two wild and crazy guys" than Arabs.

I just laughed when seeing the thread title in the index to start off with ! Can't wait to see it myself!

From what I hear, the people from Kazakstan are really pissed off at him for "stereotyping" people in kazakstan as racist, sexist...etc.

I just saw him for the first time yesterday on TV doing a little 15minute show pimping the movie. I thought it was pretty funny.

I don't think he's very funny.

Movie is pretty hilarious. I caught a free sneak peak last night at a local theater. Being near Hollywood does have its advantages.

The male nudity is a bit much though, imho

It looks like it's going to be funny as hell!! I'm pretty sure I'm going to see it tomorrow.

One of my favorite acts. Even before he was famous. People need to stop taking shit so fucking seriously. Everyones always complaining about shit. He's fucking hilarious, IMO. I saw all the shit from before he was famous and have bee a fan since. I also like his character "Bruno" "Funkyzeit mit Bruno" haha. His whole Ali G thing was basically to make people see how rediculous our culture is over here. It was basically laughing at us and showing how gay all our pretentious attitudes are in general of course. The ignorance of people here. Not to say there isnt ignorance other places, but it was a nice exposure of peoples funny tendencies. Im an avid fan.

First Ali G had a movie, then Borat ... I'm looking forward to a Bruno movie in a few years

he is funny... but he pisses me off so much! That stupid brunette mudafu7ca doesn't know sh4t about people he is copying... I'm not kazakh, but i have been in Almaata and other kazakh cities and maaan it's just something inside of me boiling... he created a hate to himself in my eyes. I have kazakh friends (btw i'd say they're asian) and ofcourse they don't like him... they did go to see the moive and it was funny... but funny in a degraded, low, disrespectful, arrogant way! I did not see the move, prolly will... i will not buy a ticket though! I would buy a ticket to a show where there would be kazakh people and him "talking" hahaha i'd buy ticket to thaat show!
I'm done.
