Last night at that big blogfucking party at Delancey, Andy and I were trying to explain the genius of Borat. Words don't do him justice. JUST WATCH. (Link via Thighs Wide Shut.)
YOU MUST WATCH THIS ONE TOO (it's the country music bit).
UPDATE: Everything you wanted to know about Borat here.

My favorite Borat moment is when he's soliciting for votes with the Republican congressman and he can't understand why women in the United States are allowed to vote. The woman has to literally explain to him the 14th Amendment. It's great.
Have you seen Sasha as himself, going in and out of the various accents, explaining the jokes and set ups? It's brilliant. He did this on the Daily Show a few weeks ago, but Comedy Central doesn't seem to have the clip up on their site.

Actually, the greatest Borat moment was the flubbed "improv" in the Season 1 episode "Art." The inept Borat, in the acting studio, is politely told by the unimpressed but sympathetic acting teacher "I thought there were some excellent moments there." Yes, it's funny because Borat seems not to have understood the concept of an improv. But there's another layer on top of that, infinitely more hilarious. The acting teacher looks down on Borat with euphemistically-veiled disparagement of Borat's failure at acting. But Borat is only a character played by Sacha Cohen, who is acting the entire time; it's just that he has set unexpected parameters for the improv. The laugh is actually on the acting coach, who never catches on. (The frosting on the cake is the actress's flipped-out evasion of Borat's attempt at a good-bye kiss.)
Along similar lines, in the same episode: an annoyed Buzz Aldrin explains the meaning of humor to Ali G after Ali G tells a dumb moon joke without understanding the punchline: "Things are funny, or comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." Too much irony to abide...

Ali G has fooled many a vip, including Brent Scowcroft and former Surgeon General Koop.
Borat is even funnier though, especially in Charleston, the heart of Dixie (South Carolina)where his crude but believable comments are totally able to fool the Southern upper class gentry!!
