Ok the actual show so far is pretty good

Edit - the characters have potential, would prefer if he kept some of the conversations a bit more realistic

honestly, i'm not really buying any of this... borat goes undercover for a year. except, not a single person goes public with their anger until a week ago when he announces it?

...

so you're saying BORAT was SOOOOOOO in character that not a single person recognized him? not a SINGLE person thought something was up until AFTER he announced his show and then ALL AT ONCE everyone was like, OH THAT INTERVIEW WAS BOGUS?! WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!

this type of gotcha porn is the absolute lowest form of entertainment humanity has come up with. if i'm with my wife and I shout she has a bee on her (or a spider in her hair ect), and she reacts by jumping around while I laugh, who's the fucking idiot and asshole. I also loath the youtube assholes who pull this stuff on a smaller scale.

(and anyone who thinks this can't or hasn't been done to lefties is fucking autistic)

This show has flown under the radar publicity wise until a few weeks ago

yes. it's flown under the PUBLIC radar. but these interviews didn't JUST happen last week. they've been going on for the past year. but all the people being interviewed waited until JUST NOW to be pissed at borat? does that make sense?

I love this show already and I haven't seen a second of it yet. The amount of butt hurt political people get when someone makes fun of their side is hilarious.

Both democrats and republicans need to lighten the fuck up.

most politicians get interviewed like 50 times a week, and they only started getting pissed when word got out it was borat underneath the jew makeup. The makeup guy tho should win an emmy, he looks NOTHING like borat/ali G/etc in his fat personality.

cohen had 4 personalities in the first episode:

fat right wing alex jones kinda guy in a scooter, interviewed Bernie Sanders
ultra hippie pink pussy wearing cuck soy boy, interviewed trump delegates (looks like ali G tho) and talks like tanoomba, basically the #gamergate thread
a bald ex con brit interviewed an art gallery owner about exhibiting his "prison art" (shit art)
weird face israeli who is super into military/guns interviewing right wing guys (above linked videos)


it was more cringe than funny to be honest, I think borat has lost his touch a little bit. It was just a bunch of fairly normal people being polite to someone who was saying really stupid things, yeah that was the shtick too in borat/ali G but it seemed to work better there. Hope the show gets better.

some funny stupid like that made me giggle like usual prison rape stuff but i'm kinda dumb

no, this is totally true, i absolutely understand they go from one interview to another.

it just feels like the politicians are in on the joke. sarah palin, for example, remembered all kinds of details about her interview. she remembered why she wanted to do the interview, she remembered that they brought her to he wrong airport. she remembered a ton of stuff but didn't cry foul on ANY of it until just now? like, a week before it aired? sounds like showtime paid them in recompense and encouraged them to cry foul, but only AFTER the show was announced. you know, to keep it a surprise. it feels fishy.

What really would have been must-see TV is if Cohen had interviewed Tina Fey thinking she was actually Sarah Palin.

they probably didn't say anything hoping that the show never aired. once it was past the point of no return, they had to address the shit they said.

What good would it do for a sitting House Representative to look like an idiot that wants to arm 4 year olds with guns and rocket launchers? It's obvious they were reading off a script in the video, but still. That can't even play well to the base. I can see some of the retired ones possibly being in on the joke, but I still doubt it. People like Trent Lott make a ton of money doing speeches and events. If he looks like an idiot, those engagements may go away.

I don’t really see the upside to Puppy Pistol nor laughing off a joke about raping your wife. But hey, that’s just par for the course these days so whatever.

yes and no. here's the problem. go look at some random political interview on youtube. you'll find a video titled "[left wing interviewer] DESTROYS [right wing interviewee]" and then you'll find "[left wing interviewer] DESTROYED BY [right wing interviewee]". people are losing their own ability to criticize and just wait for someone that they agree with to tell them what to think. so fans of sacha baron cohen will just take what he's saying at face value and say that all republicans are gun toting psychopaths, and fans of the people borat is interviewing will just say that he's a disgrace to patriotism. not a single person is going to change their opinion of either side after watching this. group think is too strong.

1st episode, had some moments I laughed a little....but mainly it reminded me how fucked we are.

I am not sure how people do not notice the makeup and comical look of his "characters"

Man that southern couples reaction was fucking hilarious when he said his child free bleeds and the Hillary Clinton foundation sponsored the study.

Man, I don't know what you're on, but The Ali G Show was fucking hilarious.

Original Borat on Ali G was the shit.
