Original Borat

[telecomm]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he's Jewish. Hence the irony mentioned. Ali G, Borat, and Bruno are all portrayed by the same actor, a Jewish-Brit.

Uh, you didn't actually go to the linked site did you?

That's not Cohen.

That's not Cohen.

You're right, it isn't. But that's beside the point, really.

You guys saying the www.borat.tv is not Cohen? Or the OPs link?

I'd forgotten this thread wasn't actually about Cohen.

The original linked website was featured a few years back in a UK newspaper. Can't remember which one. He was a bit of a celebrity. Obviously he hasn't found his true love yet 🙁

Cohen is a Jew. The original is not.

Yeah, I guess so. If the point is that this guy may have been the inspiration for Borat, his nationality isn't all that important.

On the other hand, that guy certainly isn't jewish. 😀

You guys saying the www.borat.tv is not Cohen? Or the OPs link?

Uh... the OP's link. I'm pretty sure www.borat.tv is Cohen's. 😀

 

[TumbleDryer]

Agreed. I watched him on Jonathan Ross last night, and it occurred to me ...when does he snap out of being Borat and become himself again?

I guess this will be the end of Borat, now the secret's out.

Not necassarily. Ali G was going well before it hit America and its still going now.

 

[Abstract]

Yeah, I never understood how he got away with so much stuff while in Engerland. Must be a rather large group of people who don't follow popular culture.

I despise Borat. Ali G was alright but Borat is just a joke. He is a copy and not a good one at that and is also highly insulting mainly to Jews which i despise.

He is jewish, I dont think he tries to make fun of jewish people. I think he exposes people who are prejudice, I think it is a clever sort of comedy.
