There, I've said it.
Not that anyone cares.
I watch horrified as his grotesque parade passes through town, to the thunderous applause of the village idiots...

I hate Borat too - I spoke to the AMC manager where I bought tickets for me and my kids and got complimentary tickets to another film.(yes I took kids that really thought the movie would be funny),
The Jackass Two movie came with a warning and a guard at the door - but this film, they let everybody in. What a disgusting film.
in all honesty.. the only reason why people would hate borat is because people get offended once the joke turns on them. that is why the fim should not be takn literally. it should show you that many americans are extremely ignorant about the world around him and are incredibly naive of their own ignorance. americans have been making films for years where they poke fun of other cultures. but once the tables turn.. they become defensive. its soo true. many people in the US do not know semantic knowledge and common sense. many are confrontational are and audacious. its a movie you need to sit back and relax. cause the only reason why you're mad is because its the first time americans realize how ethnocentric and ignorant they really are.
I'm not American
;)
ha.ha.
i saw borat today.
the only time any thing was funny was when it was really awkward at the same time.
it was okay.
it shouldn't have been given 4 stars.
I really, REALLY HATE HIM... He's NOT funny... Oh gee lets pretend to be a 3rd world bumpkin... Thats NEVER been done before... Oh well, he will get his 15 minutes and then he will go away.Please god let him go away.....
you have no sense of humor
The scary part is not if he is funny or not, but that millions of bumpkins find him so. That's the really frightening aspect.
These may be the same people who think Paris Hilton has talent.
whats with the word "bumpkin" it has bean used 2 times in the last three posts? all you bumpkins who think borat is funny are just a bunch of bumpkins. P.s. I agree, Borat sucked. i saw it with my mother, i cannot explain the awkwardness.
They should shoot the people that make movies that are that stupid. What has the movie standard been lowered to now? I know some easily amused retards that even thought that movie was crap. I got a refund for my mistake in movie choices.
I am American, and I hate Borat. It is also ignorant to think that all Americans are ethnocentric. The problem with this Borat character is that he takes advantage of innocent people--goads them into saying and doing things they normally would not if they were not inebriated or whatever. I hate to tell you this, but comments like these prove that the entire world has problems with human relations. Maybe we should stop allowing people like Sasha Baron Cohen to become rich and famous off of human weaknesses--since this is his only aim (that, and gaining attention).
Cohen is an intelligent man and he should know better. The whole concept is indefensible. It's a racist joke. Simple as that. I'm delighted someone punched him in the face. Now THAT was funny.
Baron Cohen has no duty but to entertain. His only boundaries are malicious harm and the important parts of the law. He puts his intelligence to good use and takes an awkard situation to another level with the colorful character Borat. Yes, Borat is offensive, rude, misagonistic and totally oblivious of American culture, but he is funny, funny, funny. I almost always like to respect people who have different opinions from mine, and am eager to hear their reasoning and fathom where they are coming from. But I see a sense of humor as a true indicator of somebody's tolerance, intellect, and outlook on life. And if you say "Borat" is funny, yet infer that Baron Cohen does his routines on bad notions, you're not getting it. The opinions held by all of you (some more than others) make me sick and very glad that all of you are not part of my life. Keep on laughing at "Everybody Loves Raymond," and other cultured, mainstream shit, and don't make the mistake again of going out of your boundaries to a level of entertainment that achieves levels higher than ratings. Y'all obviously don't seem ready for it. Baron Cohen is a somewhat of a 21st century Norman Lear, who for those of you that don't know, was the producer of "All in the Family." The star character, who was Norman Lear's Mickey Mouse, is about a racist, bigoted character, who shines light on society's ignorance the same way Borat does. And yes, Norman Lear would appreciate that compliment. He, along with the creators of the revolutionary TV series "Southpark," Matt Parker and Trey Stone, (who also are friends with Lear) all admire Baron Cohen's work. Now what does that mean? maxoderm878787@hotmail.com, e-mail me if you'd like to discuss for the sake of argument.
word
It is a sad statement that this movie has done 114 million in 10 days... I saw it with my 13 year old who thought it was stupid.
I did not "prompt" him, he just said "So, whats the big deal?"
I was like "I have NO idea!" He likes South Park, SCTV, Firesign Theater, Monty Python and the occasional Anchorman or Dodgeball, or even, yes, Jackass 2 (i mean hes 13!) - but he has a GREAT sense of humor for a 13 yr old...
Borat was a waste of time AND money - its been done a million times, a million different ways, but somehow...this piece of s*#t makes it... just like music, most hits are 3 chords and variations on the theme -
Comparing this to "All in the Family" is like comparing Dostoevsky to John Updike
let the "Dumming down of America" continue!!!

America acts like a prima donna when it catchs one's reflection!
Re Norman Lear: Some people found Archie Bunker to be a hero. My racist uncle loved him and identified with him.
These days "politically incorrect" statements are supposed to be funny merely because they're outrageous. But why exactly do we laugh at racism? When we laugh at it are we truly scorning it or are we, literally, "making light of it"--defanging it and therefore making it more acceptable?
I don't need a movie to sell me on the idea that Americans are naive and uninformed. It seems pretty evident to me. I don't find it funny--I find it sad.
You all are a bunch of fucking idiots. Who gives a shit about what you think of the film whether you like it or not?
lol who pissed in your weaties? It is basically a debate you fucking nazi don't like? don't read it! As for this movie it is not funny and Baron Cohen has always been an idiot he has just taken it to new levels is all. The fact that people find his actions funny instead of insulting show the true ignorance the U.S. has sunken to. I am so sick of the stupidity people display on tv as entertainment it seems to be every where. But I guess they have to play down to the lowest common denomenator of intelligence so they can make money and get ratings.
It's a debate? Really? Thanks for informing me of this I had no idea.
nazi??? HAHAH.
this movie was as stated in one article i read "tasteless, offensive, and HILLARIOUS." it might have been done before, by the likes of andy kaufman and such, but not often and not to this extreme. i happen to be jewish as well fyi, and i hate films like jackass. the films not about cohen, its about everyone around him and how they act towards such an outragious charecter that is borat. when i saw this in theatre with my friends, we were laughing at the movie and at ourselves for laughing at the movie. but i guess its not for everyone, doesnt mean you can preach about it though. you may see it as one big poop joke, but there's a lot of depth in there if you look at it.
wait wait wait! third world bumpkin? isn't that a little raciest?
