Hmm, perhaps I overstated it, but we shall see if in twenty years we're still watching Borat.

I submit that yes, we* will be.


*Collectively, as in people of this earth (excluding all other planets)

I doubt I'll be seeing this. As I said when we discussed Borat, I laughed a fair amount and it was a kind of laughing where I felt bad doing it.

But most of his bits aren't funny in the first place and by the end of Borat it was definitely feeling like an overstretched SNL skit. Just looking at the title of the new movie feels that way.

As for people being duped, I'm not surprised. Not only have most people not seen either Ali G or Borat, most people have probably not heard of it or didn't hear of it enough to have a sense of who Cohen is.
