I remember when I saw Borat the first time, I had to walk out because the drunk Frat boys behind me kept laughing as Borat made racist jokes. They didn't get that they - or people like them - were the one's being made fun of. Reminds me of why Dave Chapelle quit comedy. He said he started noticing the people laughing at his skits, were laughing at all the wrong parts. And for the wrong reasons.

But even less famous are his other characters, Bruno and Ali G. You see, while you and your husband were quick to catch on, most people are unaware of British comedians and late night HBO shows. Especially the types of people, SCB likes to use for his humor. They may have heard of - or even seen - Borat, but likely they have no idea who the guy is or what other characters he has. imo While “Borat” is now world-famous, Sacha Baren Cohen, unfortunately, is not.
