Borat

Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat

The movie trailer is out for Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” Watch an American rodeo crowd roar in approval (and then disgust) as Cohen’s Borat mocks America’s “war of terror” and arrogance.

Actually I think you’ll find it’s Sacha Baron Cohen, as far as I’m aware he’s not a member of the landed gentry a la ‘Baron Sacha’.

Apologies for the pedantry.

Toodle pip,

Amazing. The only thing funnier than this clip is that there is already a comment up from someone who doesn’t realise he’s taking the piss. Even when he’s not there in person he still manages to track down those truly stupid Americans that are giving the rest of the nice, clever, normal people of that country such a bad name in the rest of the world. Brilliant.

You are oh so right, jo Momma. Borat is a character played by the actor Baron Sacha Cohen.  I was so blown away by “anonymous” stupidity i mistyped the post:)

“Borat is an actor you idiot.”

Borat is a CHARACTER played by an actor, idiot part deux.

Baron Sacha Cohen is hilarious.  I watched him a lot when I lived in England, and most of his stuff is funny.  He actually does more non-political stuff than political.  His Ali G has gotten a bit stale, so I am glad to see him branching out.

to anonymous:

Borat is an actor you idiot. He is not a real Kazakstani’s. Get your facts right.

Borat’s a stupid jerk!  From what I heard, Kazakstani’s are so ashamed of him they won’t even let him back in the country.  Why do we have to let him stay here?
