What are you watching at the moment

Re: What are you watching at the moment

Can't stand him and to me inappropraite to be making fun of Kazaks, especially if you aren't one yourself.

Fine if you don't like him, a matter of personal taste, but seriously are we allowed to make fun of anyone or anything these days? Are the Kazaks being persecuted? Spare me the political correct BS. Let's not get offended on others behalf.

He basically now has two personas, one an articulate and intelligent social commentator and the other a boorish and repetitive entertainer.

I thought he was decent in the trial of the Chicago 7.

I am restricted to what I can watch. My 3yo Old English sheepdog Ringo Starr sits next to me EVERY night on the couch and follows every show. He doesn't like violence. Loves the footy though. So I have just finished watching EMILY IN PARIS hmm...with Mrs B4L too of course.

He must love early Thomas the Tank Engine?

His Borat schtick is more having a poke at American/Western perceptions of the middle east/far away lands.

The problem is he just isn't funny.

I think it's pretty clear he's not making fun of real Kazakhstan but rather making fun of what Americans would imagine Kazakhstan to be.

Not that bad Axey but just have to be careful with the violence. I have discovered some dogs view the tv as a window thinking whatever happens on there is right outside. Hilarious really. Best thing is he loves watching the doggies play.

Was a Ringo Starr reference in case you missed it.

Our Aussie Bulldog has never taken the slightest notice of anything on the TV.

I did miss it. Never knew Ringo had anything to do with it. Behind the times.

I'm not particularly interested in seeing the new movie, as it looks like a reheated and inferior version of the innovative and genuinely amusing character he created 15 years ago. There was an endearing, over-the-top ridiculousness to the first movie that created a number of hilarious moments from both the character and the (unwitting) targets of his satire. Going to the well again with virtually the same playbook just looks low-rent and light-on for ideas and laughs.

This offends me.

Yeah the original Borat character and the first movie was great - and I can't believe it was 14 years ago it was released!

SBC would be better off using his platform and intellect for something more worthwhile now.
