Since this is, and has been about the movie "Borat", I haven't liked it. I don't want to see "Borat 2". Edited by Derek19

The new Borat was actually a lot better than expected. It still doesn't capture the charm of the first one, but it has some great moments. Especially since he had to come up with a bit of it on the fly due to COVID.

 

The first one had charm? That film was garbage. Why call it a comedy when nothing in it was funny?

A lot of people thought it was funny, myself included.

 

Tons of people laugh their asses off at Will Ferrell movies but I think those are some of the most unfunny movies of all time.

Charm may not be a good way to describe it. I'd say it's more entertaining since the plot seemed to be built around his interactions with others while the new movie is the other way around.

I'm a sucker for crude shock humor. I know it's juvenile but I guess that part of my brain never developed past the age of 16 :huh:

Skit-based humor almost always fails in a two-hour format. I loved the Ali G Show, but, while the first film had it's funny moments, overall I thought it was pretty dull.

Anchorman is the only Will Ferrell movie I laugh at. Everything else he's done is just there for me.

100% agreed. The fact that people actually enjoy his shameless, awkward attention whoring, and borderline illegal pathological deception is just sad.

Sandler is worse although Will's last theatrical movie I flat out loved was Step Brothers.

Humor is subjective, the fact that you don't think it's funny isn't sad, but believing that what he does is nearly illegal, is. Probably because he's punking people/groups you support or identify with.

Well I do enjoy the President's ramblings from time to time too.

Fraud, sexual harassment, inherent exposure, impersonating emergency officials, constant defamation... Yeah just a stand up dude.

 

At a minimum he should be sued, a few times over.

Being politically incorrect and/or gross is never funny. Uh huh. None of you guys who dislike Borat ever laugh at such things. Right right.

 

I understand not liking it but the self-righteousness is the real sad part.

If it was pure fiction, I just wouldn't like it. It's the unwilling involvement of real people I have a real problem with.

He has been sued several times and all but 1 case was thrown out or not even heard. The one exception was because he used a song without permission. It's called comedy/satire and is protected by that pesky 1st Amendment. #hemademelookfoolishsoI'mgoingtocrytothecourts

They actually give their consent.
