Post by: shedt on November 06, 2006, 11:52:17 AM
sorry if there are to many topic's / spam. i want to know what is cool about this guy.

i don't think he's cool, why?


becuase he's fake. it's a skit, and it takes from the humor for me. esp when he says racist shit.

the whole point is that it isn't fake you know. Its unscripted stuff with real people who have no idea what is going on.

yes but for me it is fake, as in he's not from that country, and he sounds fake. and again, he's not from that country.

now if he was, and it was genuine, then that would be cool for me.


Like i said, for me it's just not funny. like that bum guy who sings songs, you know he's a real bum right?

erm one of the main points is that he isn't from the country. He bashes jews while speaking HEBREW, he isn't even attempting to fit in what a Kazakh is.


While it's fine to dislike it, it seems you don't comprehend the "point" of Borat.

i understand the points you said, i just find that he does not do it in a funny way, and that it comes off fake and cheap and dumb for me. but that's just my opinion.

the larger joke is how he preys on american stereotypes of what foreigners are, and how people let his silly crap slide because he's "from a different country".

Yeah, I guess. But i mean, for something like this, i prefer something along the lines of jackass, when they dress up as old men and woman.

Borat to me, the way he talks etc just comes to much off as an act. From my perspective, you'd have to be really not paying attention to not figure out quickly it's fake.

IMHO



Some of it does look cool though, i'll have to check it out when it comes to dvd

I bought the first one on PS2 of that 4-part series. It felt boring and cheap.

Eh, some of his stuff I find absolutely hilarious.  When I'm watching some of his stuff, I'm glad it's on Youtube so I can just close out the window quickly.  Ranges from absolutely horrible to absolutely hilarious.

Different strokes for different folks, but ALOT of people seem to find him funny. Guess it just isn't up your alley, no big deal. Just don't TALK SHIT about it without seeing the movie in question like SOME posters have been doing, and not liking him is more than acceptable. :)
