admittedly, my exposure to the Borat routine is fairly limited. does he have a show in the UK? i don't know. but any and everything i've seen seems lame. there's no such thing as "almost funny," you know what i mean? the "controversy" over this guy escapes me simply for the fact that i just think he's kind of dull. if he was actually funny, i could see some people being in an uproar, i suppose.


but i thought Ali G. sucked too, so...


does this guy have fans?

I agree Tessa. I don't see the humour.

well, I think it's great that when Sasha Baron Cohen (who does the Borat & Ali G. character and whi is jewish) get on a stage of some american redneck-shack and starts singing 'Throw The Jew Down The Well', that thse people start chanting along with him.....what Cohen does is really show how stupid people (in this case americans) are..... I can't wait to see the movie!

I always liked Ali G, but didn't like Borat that much. But yesterday he was on my favourite talk show (TV Total) promoting his film and I so was enjoying it . I guess I will have to watch that movie .

Are you sure you're not English?!

my application for honorary Brit is being processed as we speak!

I can guarantee you a glowing reference!!

You are american? That would explain things.

Yes. We Americans are world-renowned for liking our comedy to actually be funny. You're right, that explains it

I don't have any problem with what the guy is doing. If it was really funny, I'd laugh. But as I said in the first post, there's no such thing as "almost funny." He just falls kind of flat for me.

let me just help that coin to drop for you.....maybe his initial intention wasn't to be funny to americans.....but more make us, europeans, lauch about americans.....which he is pretty successful at!
