Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

shameless but hilarious. Its the perfect black humour.

Borat is basically him leaving Kazakhstan to learn about American culture.

It’s so offensive but really funny he’s so thick sadly wouldn’t be allowed to be made today because people can’t take comedy anymore and get easily offended.

The dinner part where the man says he was retired and Borat thought he said he was a retard was hilarious and they explained it to him and he still didn’t get.

It’s laughable that Borat was watching tv and Baywatch come on and he seen Pamela Anderson on there and he was obsessed to make her his wife.

The bit where Borat and Azamat started fighting while they were naked and then started running through the hotel was definitely a highlight so funny.

Borat finally got to meet Pamala asked her to marry him, she said no so he tried to kidnap her .

Borat is just a really funny film if you get offended easily definitely won’t be the film for you.

"He is my neighbor Nursultan Tuliagby. He is pain in my assholes. I get a window from a glass, he must get a window from a glass. I get a step, he must get a step. I get a clock radio, he cannot afford. Great success!"

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America of Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is still a brilliant, brilliant movie. It is one of the funniest movies out there and one that will always make me laugh. I must have seen it 10 times by now? I can quote this movie all day long. From the opening scenes in his home country to his exploits in New York, King in the Castle, Pamela Andersons, very nice, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ken Davitian running naked through the broker conference, the ice cream truck, those stupid frat boys, the national anthem scene, the chicken in the subway, the driving instructor, 40 miles an hour in a Hummer should do the trick, where is the chick magnet? So many brilliant scenes.

But with every rewatch I like it less and less.....pause......NOT.

Borat is still a brilliant character and a gem of a movie.

don't watch it please, it's one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life... NOT!

IT'S GREAT SUCCESS!!!!!

One of the funniest films of all time. It's completely outrageous and uncomfortable but almost every scene is absolutely hilarious. Very unique brand of comedy

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’:

1. Still equally uncomfortable and absolutely hysterical to this day.

2. The scene — THAT one — is still absolutely nauseating to this day.

3. SO excited for the sequel this month! But the bar has been set pretty damn high.

Hugely successful at the time, Borat still holds up today as a lot of the things being mocked still apply 15 years later, maybe even more so. It had a huge cultural impact, how many times have you heard someone in a generically Slavic accent say “it’s nice, I like”? Even people that have never seen the movie attempt to use that catchphrase. Borat was brilliant in that it pushed the bounds of what was acceptable, by going after things that are unacceptable. Racism, sexism, classism, anti-semitism, and more - they’re all here and all being exposed for the ridiculousness that they are.

Guerilla improv often has a very short shelf life, but this one's still funny even after you know where it's going. In Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen has a character that's perfect for dragging hilarious material out of his unsuspecting subjects: naïve and disarming on the surface, vulgar and profane beneath.

He gets some really ripe material from the act this time around, with the lowlights of his American tour including a homophobic cowboy, a troupe of bigoted etiquette experts and an RV full of misogynist frat boys. The short, storyline-advancing scenes in between each unscripted segment are generally thin and bland, but Cohen's ad-libbed torments of the unprepared masses are clearly the movie's meat and potatoes and it wisely never strays far from that core. Brightly orchestrated, hilarious anarchy with a sharp edge and no sense of self-control.
