How would you know if you haven't seen any of his stuff?

Maybe just graciously accept that his comedy is not for you (which is fine, the latest Borat was rubbish) and move on? You're walking yourself into it, here.

...he was excellent as Abbie Hoffman in The Trial of the Chicago 7, I thought....

...that’s really what I meant by underrated because it’s more for things like Borat and Ali G that he’s been known but he’s quite a decent actor in more serious roles when we’re not so familiar with the character ...so we focus more on his acting...

yeah okay then, his sort of comedy is not my cup of tea

My default reaction is "it's Hollywood, of course they're being stupid"

See, I find it hard to believe his self-revisionism that his comedy is to poke fun at western perceptions when he knows exactly who his target audience is :shrug: the average viewer of Borat isn't walking away thinking about the people that Borat is interacting with as much as they're thinking about Borats funny voice, anti-Semitic comments etc, because ultimately Borat is the centric character.

Who is America definitely achieved what he was seemingly aiming for better IMO.

You could say the same for any political or social satire. In my opinion, "most people are too dumb to catch the satire" is not a reason to stop making it. See; South Park, Rick & Morty, etc.

Sacha is a very bright guy that can be hilarious one moment and pure cringe the next, a bit like most comedians :laugh:

I like him in small doses

What's the difference between Borat and South Park though?

They're very similar kinds of social and political satire.

The new Borat movie won the golden globe as well for best motion picture (musical or comedy).

Do you think? I think most people are laughing at the people's reactions(see Rudy Giuliani) whether they think deeply about what it means or not the reactions of the people he's interacting with have always been the funniest part of his interviews and films especially back at the start when he was doing his Ali G interviews
