It’s a shame that Borat is no longer in the public eye, for a while back in 2006/2007 he was everywhere, brilliantly played by the comic Sacha Baron Cohen. How he got away with some of his antics I’ll never know, even now you don’t know whether to laugh or cringe at his humour! The character made his debut on British comedy series Da Ali G Show, which centred around Cohen’s earlier spoof hip-hop fan Ali G. Once Cohen feels his characters are becoming too familiar, he retires them.

I like to keep this blog fairly family-friendly so I’ll restrict myself to some of his cleaner (though still politically-incorrect!) outbursts

My wife she is dead…she die in a field…she die from work, an accident, but is not important, I have a new wife.
Yakshemash! In US of A, democracy is very different from Kazakhstan. In America, woman *can* vote, but horse – *cannot*!
American wine is like Kazakhstani wine, but not made from fermented horse urine.

Kazakhstan is more civilised now. Women can now travel on inside of bus, and homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hat.

More Borat is not hard to find off a quick Google search, but I’ll close this (not too serious!) blog post with a couple of youtube clips…

Trailer for the film:

(I should point out that the film is available on DVD from your favourite stockist and no, I have no connection with the film, its producers or any of the aforementioned retailers!)
