I won't argue the crazy part. Robin Williams is funny. Mel Gibson is funny. Bill Cosby is funny. Richard Pryor is funny. I guess I am TOO old to get a lot of these movies now adays.

I like the classics... Caddy Shack, Lampoon's Vacation, Stripes, Strange Brew, Blazing Saddles. Those are funny!

This movie is almost as annoying as Napoleon Dynamite.

I don't think Dynamite was that bad. It was bad, just not that bad.

i think they were both okay movies, and i think sacha baron cohen is a funny guy(da ali g show was great) i think they both just got annoying from being over-commercalized, to the point where you hear a kid saying "thats nice" as borat or "tina come get some ham" as napolean, or other stupid quotes, you just wanna punch the kid in the face.

Still not as bad as people who quote family guy though!

This thread wonderfully convenient, since I have to write a paper for English on this movie.

a. Who found Borat offensive? If so, could you articulate what scene or idea offended you so much?

b. What group/practive seemed satired most effectively?

Sparky · 03-20-2007, 07:31 PM

a. i wasn't offended at all, i think he was fairly balanced in making fun of everybody.

b. probobly citizens of khazekstan or jews. i dont really know, there was no one near me who i knew-off being offended by it.

a: i lol'd
b: dumbasses who can't take a joke

Kevorkian Logic · 03-20-2007, 08:31 PM

I got dumbasses listed. But I was wondering if it was pertaining to a set religious denomination? Or a certain class of people?

This essay is surprisingly hard. My first draft got basically destroyed by my teacher.
