    I know a dude from Kazakhstan

    He fucking loves borat, somehow

    He also got an unspecified dose of radiation at Chernobyl, I'm sure its unrelated

    I knew a few guys from Kazakhstan who loved Borat

    one of them said, "It's great, everybody knows us now!"

    Also how dismissive people can be of even blatant antisemitism. He said this specifically in a press conference after he was done doing his in-character promotional press conferences.

    I once asked a dude with a heavy accent where he was from. He was like "It's a small country you probably don't know it... Kazakhstan." I guess he wasn't aware of Borat.

    Uh, no it's not

    Borat is a super fucked up movie that does a good job at showing how pervasive anti-semitism still is in white america

    Sacha Baron Cohen shows racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, and prejudice still exist by traveling the country and being racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-semitic, and prejudiced at it.

    I'm not saying the idea behind it is wrong per se, but having people constantly quote a character who is intentionally a toxic stereotype is something I don't enjoy, much less when it is completely meaningless without a lot of context.

    Did any of the offensive jokes catch on as quotes or just the inane jokes?

    I think my favorite Sacha Baron Cohen role was when he was the Stationmaster in Hugo

    on one hand, borat being constantly quoted completely proves cohen's point with the movie

    on the other hand, it's fucked up how he was right. attach a catchphrase to anything and people'll parrot it no matter what
