If you think Borat, fucking Borat of all things, is being sold to people as profound commentary, you have fundamentally misunderstood both Borat and comedy.

The joke is always he presents himself as stupid backwards rube but really it's a trap for the folksy people he takes advantage of and forms a meta commentary from his Cambridge trained origins.

The media is shit these days because they cater to the most extreme viewpoints and ignore or purposely misinterpret anything that doesn't serve that. Borat makes jokes about people who do stupid things.

Oh fucking please. This guy goes around to places where no one is doing anything then instigates all sorts of shit then stands back and goes "see racists! see antisemitism! " then has the gall to call people who do the same thing racist and horrible and only he should be able to do such things.


The guy is a god tier piece of shit.

Yes, I get what the joke is. It isn't profound, never was. He's basically Jay on the Street or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, taken to the extreme. I remember a time when everyone wasn't up their own ass and could laugh at powerful people, but I guess now it's more important to virtue signal about comedy and do unpaid PR work for rich politicians and media figures online.

That's what he specializes in shocking the intellectuals with how he hides amongst and agitates the "ignorant", it's humor that works at all levels, because the scenarios are just ridiculous in a vacuum but also works in the erudite liberal circles for it's meta qualities, that's why it's so popular

Borat picks on powerful people? he usually makes local plebs look bad. You're confusing ali g with borat.

Borat does both. As does Ali G, they're just tools for him to do the unexpected interview/confrontation thing. Local plebs, as you call them, who would sing along with weird songs about killing jews, probably deserve to be laughed at. As do people who white knight "victims" of jokes.

He'll never do that, in fact he'll praise them for being stunning and brave for defending it.

I rather have a Freddy Got Finger 2 movie.
