This is funny. Apparently the Kazakhstan government misprinted the word "bank" on their currency. Classic? I think so. Hilarious? Don't need to tell me twice. Why don't we have funny bloopers like this in the West?

I dunno, Borat is from Kazakhstan and he's an oaf, so immediately I thought of him

LOL! I never saw that! That's perfect! I wonder how that got on there? Did someone do it as a practical joke, or was some moron eating a banana where he wasn't supposed to? lol that's fantastic Ian

I'm sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you do know that Borat is just a vehicle for taking the piss out of Americans, don't you?

rofl. They don't realise, which is why it's so funny. Well, not all Americans. Just the gullible and bigoted ones who are happy to blindly sing along to songs about murdering jews and such.

No he isn't. He basically takes the piss out of everyone (remember the uppercrust english ones?). Just the last series targeted america is all.

Ah, the throw the jew down the well song. Classic how they all started singing along. There seems to be a certain segment of americans that will sing country music to anything. Most amusing the amount of hassle he got over that. Isn't he Jewish? Come to think of it I'm sure some other country got upset with him a while back as they said he was pretending to be black.

Best bit was when he showed those porno pics of his fugly wife to a bunch of americans. This woman managed to sound exactly like my mum "oh, she's beautiful.". No she wasn't and she had her legs behind her head.

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Yah, he plays an anti-semite who shows up at the Hollywood premier of his movie being pulled in a car by a mule, to great applause and cheering. Sometimes America can be pretty bass-ackwards.

Some of the Ali G/Borat/Bruno stuff is so funny is makes me cry.

He has the absolute greatest ability to wind people up while seeming to try not to.

Borat wine tasting was classic, as was Ali G training to be a cop, and Bruno doing the worm down the catwalk, that was probably the greatest amount of balls I have ever seen.

All I know about Borat is what I've seen in trailers and such. I can't be "gullible" or whatever if I've never seen him in skits. I never watched the Ali G show because he was in a music video with Madonna, and to me, that's musical treason I don't know much about him at all and didn't know he was anti-semitic until it was mentioned in this thread... and to someone who doesn't know much about Borat, he looks like some dumb guy touring the US, not some vehicle for dissing western culture But now I know, and knowing is half the battle

No, Sacha Cohen's *character* Borat is anti-semetic.

Yah, the Borat wine tasting was tops. Apparently Sacha was so drunk that he passed out in the bathroom, and when they went to get him he woke up and almost dropped his accent. That would have been funny

Sacha is amazing. How can one stay in character for so long? Borat > Bruno > Ali G.
