Help answer this question below.

From the exerpts I saw, some of it was offensive, such as the dance move the "Gypsy slap". I would say to Sasha Cohen, "how about a Gypsy boot to your head instead" and offer to provide the boot.
I did find the yard sale "Show me your treasures, Gypsy" to be amusing. I enjoyed the look on the poor woman's face. But then Sasha Cohen looked like an imbecile, which I think he was trying to do.
I am deeply offended by how he ripped off an entire Rromani village to make the thing. Last I heard they are in litigation again over this. They are in their second lawsuit, if I recall correctly.
Other than the "Gypsy slap" and the yardsale thing I have not heard of anything particularly offensive or particularly funny. I cannot comment on it further because I have not seen it and it is not the type of humor I would enjoy. It sounds more like skit comedy and I can only do that in small doses.
However, I have been asked for my tears probably a solid 100 times since that movie came out.
I really should start selling them.

That was one of the funniest movies I have ever watched!

offensive

I didn't find him offensive but I didn't think he was funny either.
by FaerieWhings on February 3rd, 2008

by Gonzo on February 3rd, 2008
I thought he was hilarious.
by Zhay89 on February 3rd, 2008
It was funny but I prefer his other character Ali G.

I found it very amusing and not at all offensive

I liked Borat. I think he is good at making fun of those that take themselves too seriously.
by jin jang on February 3rd, 2008
He was on the cutting age of in you face type humor.
by JTP on February 3rd, 2008
Very funny, not offensive at all.

I enjoyed Borat. That guy and his corny jokes he repeats over and over again. I didn't find him offensive at all. I enjoyed the movie, except the part when he's with the green bathing suit, gross...!

I thought it was the most stupid movie I've ever sat through. Notice, I said sat through, because usually I'll leave and get a readmit if I hate it. Don't really know why I stayed.

I loved that movie sooo much, and most of my Jewish friends did as well. A couple of them I don't think realized that he was making fun of making fun of Jews. He's Jewish himself!

I loved it! people that find it offensive take themselves too seriously like Someguy said.

My mother borrowed it from the library and told me she thought it was stupid and didn't like it. I found it hard to believe that she would have interest in such a thing. I never saw it and have no desire.
by Da Azian Boi on February 3rd, 2008
I enjoyed it, and found it hilarious.
by Talimze on February 3rd, 2008
It was just funny. Maybe offensive to some, but I don't hang out with those people.
by Vampyre Bat on February 3rd, 2008
To me it was only a movie. I laughed and moved on. Not a real good movie but if you don't get too hung up and PC it was ok.
by Carrot and Stick on February 3rd, 2008
I loved the movie, and watched Ali G when I lived in England. Sascha Cohen is comedic genius.
However, what I did find a tad offensive was the implications of the movie script. I wonder if his motives for creating the movie were anti-American. The movie was funny in itself. I question his intent, though.
by Anon y mouse on February 3rd, 2008
Very funny. And frankly, anyone offended by it needs to be offended more often.
by Deep Blue on February 3rd, 2008
Not offensive in the sense of hurting my feelings, but parts (such as when the two guys are wrestling naked in the 69 position) seemed quite disgusting visually.

Funny!
Did you enjoy Borats national anthem?

On which parts of Borat only had the camera hidden? When did the people interacting with Borat on film not know they were being filmed?

I have a video that is made from an old sketch and put to WoW that adequately sums up my answer to Borat:
