Larry Charles to direct Borat movie

My 8th grade Hebrew school teacher?

Okay I finally saw this movie last night. I have a sore throat from the shrieking laughter.

Yeah, when I saw it, it was about as close as I've seen to people literally rolling in the aisles.

How's the deleted stuff?

The deleted stuff ranges from incredibly hysterical to "omg America sux".

Okay, that footage need to see.

*I* need to see, etc.

The funniest is a tossup between him going through a supermarket, getting a massage (!) and attempting to adopt a dog (!!!!). The "omg America sux" involves the amount of hassle they got from the police when they weren't doing anything wrong and the ferocious spin-doctoring of the rodeo event on that town's local news.

The supermarket and massage bits kill me every single time.

"And what is this?"

Yeah, when I saw it, it was about as close as I've seen to people literally rolling in the aisles.

I'm with you, I've never seen a cinema full of people have such a raucuos reaction to a comedy. It made it a much better communal experience than going to the pictures normally is.

That wrestling scene is one of the most ungodly, unbelievable things I have ever seen.

Also the reaction to "You mean to tell me that the man who tried to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?????" was priceless.

It was mentioned upthread, but the fact that the manager didn't require any black censorship bars still amuses me.

I watched it again recently. The wrestling scene is still awesome. The looks on those ladies faces when they get into the elevator naked and holding the rubber fist? Awesome.

wrestling thing is the funniest scene in the film. that and running gag with the chicken in the suitcase. the rest = eh.

Shakey you are completely high.

I kinda wish I was but I'm at work

All of the interviews/encounters are awesome, particularly the intercutting between the etiquette lesson and the horrifying meal with the Southern society folk and the brief politician interviews. And the speed with which those frat boys pwned themselves on camera!

"Did the retard get loose?"

And lest we forget, POO IN A BAG.

eh makin fratboys look stupid is shooting fish in a barrel

ditto uptight aristocrats

wtf @ shakey

yard sale bit is great ("i will look upon your things gypsy")

oh also "I follow the hawk" line = funny

I think the point is that the fratboys made themselves look incredibly stupid with pretty much 0 help from Borat. The aristos didn't look stupid, just incredibly uncomfortable and struggling to be understanding and gracious until the prostitute showed up. (Screamingly funny bit: when the pro walks in and the pastor goes, "Okay, it's time for me to go.")

The entire thing with the bear was awesome, too, ESP. the punchline.

Dan were you previously unaware that fratboys are stupid or something

Shakey were you aware that shut the fuck up

lolz

^_^

"Did the retard get loose?"

The whole "retard" v. "retired" thing is amazing.

Also, I don't know why but I LOVE when he throws down his bag and you hear the chicken.

The bear punchline made us go "Nooooo!"

comedy is only funny when you learn new things dan

when he throws down his bag and you hear the chicken.

^^^YES this is what I was referring to

Also, I don't know why but I LOVE when he throws down his bag and you hear the chicken.

On second viewing it was probably this and the bit with the car salesman where he's mimicking his wife's voice all low pitched "BORAT BORAT" that I laughed hardest at.

The running of the Jew gag was horrifying but funny, but even better was the payoff with the "We're Christian now!" follow-on gag.

people were roffling hardcore in the theater when i saw this, but there were a few magical moments when everybody was just hushed for a second cos they could not believe what was in front of them ~~ next level
