I'm from Scotland, and a friend of mine was actually at the conference when Borat and Azamat came in naked. All of his table companions were furioua, but he instantly saw it was Borat and nearly fell off his chair laughing.
True, but the Trailer Park Boys is close and more realistic, at least if you’re comparing Sacha Baron Cohen’s behaviour as Borat with the behaviour of the Trailer Park Boys. Everyone in Canada knows someone like Ricky, Julian and Bubbles.
This movie has both real and staged parts. You can tell which are the real ones because they are the ones that's most fucked up. This movie is a treasure.
@@FloridaMugwump Pamela Anderson's kidnapping was staged because she was in on it. In fact the only actors in the movie were Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian (who played Azamat), Luenell, and Pamela Anderson.
Dude all of it is kinda staged Lol you forget that we laugh at everything in this country?! how tf ppl stayed with a straight face through this?! it's his style.. he ask the folks to do NOT break character no matter what, and tell em that he's gonna play someone extremely stupid. 😂 You mfz believe everything! of course he's not gonna let out his secret and say that all of it is real!
@@upfront2375 Ridiculous. He pretends to be a stupid foreigner making a crappy documentary for a crappy Eastern European country. All very believable because Eastern Europeans are stupid and backward. As in too backwards to know how to use a TOILET. Americans are willing to believe he is really a retard foreigner because all foreigners are retarded. And who worries about being discrete in a movie that will NEVER be shown in America, lol. Or any civilized country.
Sacha nearly suffocated from the naked hotel room scene. If you watch closely, Sacha gives the signal to get his costar to get off his face (pounding his hand on the bed) but the crew was laughing so hard they didn’t see it and kept filming. 😂
can you imagine tho? soft bed, so not able to escape, 400lbs of fat on your chest compressing and then the physical suffocation, sounds like HELL, I'm sure he was panicking
My favorite bit of trivia is one time during a shooting competition in Kuwait a woman from Kazakhstan won and they downloaded the anthem for Kazakhstan to play when they gave her the medal, but accidentally downloaded the Borat version. It's on TH-cam and it's hilarious.
That's hilarious. It's also awesome that a woman won, and that they weren't harsh to foreign national as they have a history of such abuse towards foreigners.
The story goes that the athlete was not expected to win and the event organisers hadn't loaded the Kazakhstan's national anthem beforehand and they realised this mere minutes before the medal ceremony and one event employee put on TH-cam Kazakstan national anthem and put the first result in without listening it first and it was the Borat theme. The search results are now modified because of the incident
@@ardakrakhmetov4653 not racist, just ignorant/uninformed. That would be like saying waltzing Matilda is the national Australian anthem. It not racist its just not the right answer.

Sasha being antisemitic while speaking full herew was just hilarious to me. In contrast to the characters he plays he is actually a really really smart and impressive man. Love him!!
He's literally Jewish. Even went to Tel Aviv university for religious studies. So he gets the pass just like every other Jewish actor. Any other actor tries this and they'd get flamed and the ADL would make them make a public apology, a donation to a Jewish cause and a public visit to Auschwitz.
The Jewish couple in the B&B caught wind of being trolled when they overheard Sacha speaking Hebrew. When the movie was released and they watched it, they were two of the very few who thought it was clever and funny.
Yeah they grew to embrace it but at first they hated the movie. also at some international sports event the local team accidentally played the Kazakhstan anthem from this movie instead of the real one and it became an international incident and massive apologies had to be made.

I'm just laughing at the kind of remarks his character makes and things he does, which would only be possible through claiming to be from a real country.

Baron Cohen has been sued multiple times since the original Borat film, and he hasn't lost a case yet. Participants were asked to sign a “STANDARD CONSENT AGREEMENT” prepared by “One America Productions Inc.” The document describes a “documentary-style film” designed “to reach a young adult audience by using entertaining content and formats.” The agreement goes on to release the production company from a list of 16 potential claims. The waivers encompass claims of defamation, invasion of privacy, and infringement of publicity rights-and they do so in unusual detail.
To the credit of the Jewish couple, those were isopods (pillbugs), which carry no disease, generally do not infest, and pose zero harm to humans. They're also easy to breed in captivity and were probably put there by the film crew for that gag lol.
I was watching that newscast live on channel 16. Funny story is that he was supposed to go to another station across town for another interview, and they cancelled last night due to a gut feeling. He passed the vetting of both stations with flying colors
I remember when my friend and I went to see it in theatres. Everyone lost their minds especially at the naked hotel scenes. It was straight chaos and I was in TEARS witnessing it all the reactions!! 😂Also, there were so many people who didn't know its a mockumentary and he was playing a character. Then they were trying to sue him afterwards as if Sasha forced them to show their how racist and homophobic they were. 😂😂 I use to watch him on his HBO show as Ali G wayyy before the movie came out so I assumed people already knew he was bullshittin' but boy was I wrong. **sighs** Great times!
Quite a timely reaction too since just last month news dropped that Sacha Baron Cohen is starting a new Ali G project. That's my favorite character of his even though the movie's so-so. I still laugh so much at his interviews with priests.. politicians.. the Beckhams.. they still hold up imo.
Fun Fact: The scene with Pamela Anderson had to be filmed twice, with different people because on the first try nobody jumped to save her. Also, the fact that a lot of the people didn't know Borat was just a character and that a lot of people in this movie tried to sue Sacha Baron Cohen after it came out was hilarious.
frat guys got expelled from university of South Carolina. I actually met the big one one time. I was told prior to meeting him DO NOT MENTION BORAT. LOL.
Fun fact, his village is a gipsy village in Romania and people got pretty angry after the translation was out because they couldn’t understand him beforehand
Sacha Baron Cohen is so incredibly talented, he doesn't just "stay in character" he becomes the character. It's a skill others in his profession could only wish for. His characters are so elaborate and over the top. They're designed in such a way to provoke an extreme reaction and/or response. It almost gives an open license for whoever he is around to speak exactly what is on their mind, due to ultra confident and expressive characters he plays. It's truly a gift. Borat/Sacha, received 20 wins & 34 nominations at various awards shows. In real life, he's a very funny, smart, caring, and articulate individual, with a pinch of his characters querks for good measure. Furthermore, if you can believe it after his performance in Borat, he's Jewish, as are both his parents. He rarely speaks in public out of character, however, when he does, it's usually quite memorable. Khazhakstan was annoyed with how Borat portrayed their country, however, when their tourism boomed, they decided to go along with it. Highly recommend any of his other films, as well as some interviews and speeches he's done (see below).

I saw this in the cinema and the naked hotel fight literally nearly killed me because I could not breath from laughing. Have never and will never laugh like that again!
You think the naked wrestling scene was wild, just imagine seeing it on the cinema screen! I swear I’ve never heard a cinema audience laugh as hard as they did at this movie, and I was right there with them, busting a gut. Hope Mello gets to the sequel soon 😁
Depressed this week. Feeling lonely. Just came back from the gym at midnight here and three this on. Your laugh is infectious dude. I saw this in the cinema when it came out and I've seen it 100 times since, but enjoyed it the most now tonight in a long time.
One of the absolutely brilliant things about Borat was just how polite ordinary people are when confronted with absolute absurdity, the character came off so genuine everybody was more concerned with being welcoming and friendly than anything else. I'd highly recommend watching all the extras and behind the scenes stuff, really helps you understand which bits were staged as parts of the movie and which parts are genuine reactions from real people, aswell as the trouble they got into trying to make all this stuff. Sadly the sense of humour isn't really appreciated by mainstream society anymore but since it's release it has become a massive cult hit. Highly recommend Ali g to anyone who hasn't seen it before too, aswell as The Dictator.
"Sadly the sense of humour isn't really appreciated by mainstream society anymore but since it's release it has become a massive cult hit." What the fuck are you talking about? Borat was one of the, if not the single biggest comedy of the entire 00s. It was a cultural touchstone and it's still referred to constantly. Phrases like "very nice" and "my wife" are basically common sayings. Borat is as recognizable a movie character as Indiana Jones or Darth Vader. It's about as far from a "cult hit" as a movie can possibly be.
@@mickieg1994It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Borat's not a "cult hit" by any conceivable standard. You might as well say Tropic Thunder or The hangover are cult hits.
I remember when we went to see this masterpiece in the cinema, the whole audience stood up and applauded when it ended... And my stomach really hurt from all that laughing...😂😂
Fun Fact: When making this movie literally everyone was not aware this was a movie or that Borat was an actor. These are all people's genuine reactions, only Pamela Anderson was in on the joke not even her security knew about it
I hope this doesn't come across as weird, but you have one of the most infectious laughs my dude. Love watching your comedy reactions most, among the other ones I do watch. Keep up the great work!
The beginning was actually filmed in a Romanian village, that's Romanian language not khazach. @"genuine chocolate face, no make up", you got owned by that one!😆
Cohen wanted to do a Mercury movie that celebrated his life, whereas the band wanted one focusing on his death and how they carried on after him. Case in point, one of the scenes he pushed for that the band shot down was a recreation of Mercury's habits during concerts where he'd do a line of coke, bang a groupie, and do about 5-7 songs in a row and then rinse and repeat till the concert is over.😂
Little fun fact. I grew up in the same church organization as the one in the film (united pentecostal church international). They would talk regularly when this first came out about how evil this man was lol. I believe this was one of the ones either in Mississippi or Louisiana, I can't remember
The jokes the humor coach was teaching were of course elementary, but it was designed for those who do not understand American (or Western) humor, so you have start with the basic, old, cliche jokes to establish what are the fundamental things that are considered funny. Conan O'Brien level string dance and tiger roars are the more advanced stuff you learn on your own when you pop open a brew or light a blunt while watching late night talk shows.
It took a lot of courage from you to do this reaction video. It was great seeing how this movie gets the best from the best people and the worst from the worst. During the making the production team got called by the cops 92 times At that time the movie got a record for being sued 7 times, all settled or dismissed. It took me a few years to watch it completely because I felt sorry about some people in there, but at the end of the day he got to the point. And doing this reaction video could have got you roasted. Thumbs up.
I seen this movie in theaters when I was 17. And have bought and lost the dvd like 4 times. I just watched it for the first time with my teenager.. It's still as funny as when I first seen it. The sequel was good too. Also his show "Who is America" is wild. What people will do when they don't know they are being set up is wild
The church he ends up at is one my uncle and his family went to and you can actually see my cousin holding his little baby brother for a split second in the church.
OMG YES! was wondering when you'd be reacting to this 😅 my mom quotes this movie alot 😂 "very nice" "nice success". Also Sachas wife in real life, Isla ,is a babeeeeee
Back when this was released in late 2006, I was renting a room from a very proper, uptight, 70-something British lady in Montréal, Canada. In November (or maybe early December that year, I can't remember), she asked me what were some good new movies, as she was thinking of going to see a matinee with a friend. Anyway, I told her about Borat, but I downplayed it, and listed a couple other examples, including The Prestige and Casino Royale, warning her that Borat was maybe a bit too...much for her sensibilities (I suggested that she watch James Bond instead, as I thought very highly of Daniel Craig's first outing as 007). Well she'd have none of it (I think she took my warning as a challenge), and so one Sunday afternoon, she and her friend from church saw the masterpiece that is Borat. To her credit, she did find it extremely funny, specifically citing the naked wrestling scene as an occasion where she laughed so hard she cried (although I'm not sure what her friend thought). I never got asked for another movie recommendation though!
I saw this movie for the first time when I was 12ish and it wasn't until I rewatched it a few years ago that I realized Borat called Lunell from the ad, and THAT was the reason they were kicked out from the dinner. For decades I thought that the Southern dinner party hosts were terrible people who kicked them out because she was black 😅.
15:00 MLK Drive in Philadelphia runs through Fairmont Park alongside the Schuylkill River and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's arguably the safest street in the city because there are no houses on or anywhere near it. Closes on summer weekends so people can openly bike on it.
Probably one of the best reactions I’ve seen to a movie, your face was priceless in parts 😂 Borat is so hit and miss, my girlfriend doesn’t like it but I piss myself laughing at it every time I watch it 👌🏼😆
I'm from Kazakhstan! I've never watched this movie before but I wish Sacha Baron Cohen would've visited our country it would be the best PR for us. That's the thing that would make all the media going crazy about it, we could have so much tourists here, man that sucks that some people in our country hate this movie so much
It's funny cause there's a man who hates Borat and Sasha, so he made a film about a tourist mistakenly finding his way to Kazakhstan and enjoying himself. In an interview, he showed off his life-sized doll in the image of Borat with devil horns and said "We're civilised people, we're nothing like the movie made us out to be. We're not like filthy gypsies." So he ended up proving the movie right.
Where I live they just changed the name of a street from Franklin to MLK st and I swear it’s been more violent around here. I have no idea why that happens but it does.
Sasha aka Borat aka Ali G aka 1000000 characters. He had an HBO show called "The Ali G Show" where he did all these characters and 90% of all the shots they thought Borat was a real person and were unaware that they were being made fun of, there was lawsuits and all that. Maybe that will make you laugh even harder lmaooooo. Also, Sasha is Jewish so his jokes are based on middle east stereotypes of Jewish hate. Dude is a genius, and there is a part 2 to Borat and it was crazier.
Both movies are “real” in the sense that they were filmed with people unaware that it was a mockumentary. Most people thought it was a real person filming a real documentary. However, Borat is a character created by Sacha Baron Cohen and originally appeared in his TV show, Da Ali G Show.
Azamat was *not* potraying Charlie Chaplin, he was playing Oliver Hardy from from Stan and Ollie, a legendary comedy duo from the early days of hollywood. Stan Laurel was a skinny and a tall guy, while Oliver Hardy was was short and stocky, just like Azamat.
Man mel, you may need to do a Schwarzenegger month and watch Last Action Hero, Twins, Jingle All the Way and Commando. You will have a blast from the past.
Whats crazy about this is the fact Sasha stayed in the Boray character the entire time they made the film he was Borat 100% of the time he was awake and none of this was scripted
Lmao ive been pulled over on Martin Luther King Blvd in Springfield, Illinois. First thing the cop did was scream for us to get the fuck out of the car. Lmao its definitely one of the worst areas in town lol.
Hilarious movie, I laughed so hard I almost gave myself a hernia. xD Just wanted to recommend another movie that's flown completely under the radar for me and seemingly for a lot of people, "Shot Caller" (2017) starring, among many others, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister you know) and Jon Bernthal (!). Family man makes a mistake and winds up in a Californian state prison, and once itside it's sink or swim. It's a raw, unmerciful look into parts of the US prison system and what it does to people. The movie actually starts with him being released from prison, and we follow both his struggle to complete a deal he can't back out from, while his time in prison is told in flashbacks. Just a fantastic movie, great performances all around (Nikolaj is terrific!), and a haunting score. The last movie that had me this gripped was Sicario (2015), and that's saying something. o.O Fair warning though, it does picture the heavily racially segregated US prison system where (at least in some prisons) each of the different "races" stick together. With the main character being a white guy, it does mean that the story is told from his POV, with all that that entails. It isn't, at all, that the white guys are portrayed as the good guys, and that the other races are bad. The white guys in this are guilty of committing horrible crimes, it's just.. at least they and their choices ARE portrayed. I would argue, however, that you could do literally the same movie with a black guy as the main character, or an hispanic, or whatever "race". That just isn't this movie.

You said that the camera man walking around would be suspicious but they actually sais that they were filming a documentary about us to show the kazakhstan people what life in us is really like, so the camera man doesnt make it obvious
This movie was filmed on location across the US. It wasn't necessarily shown in the order of filming. Only 2 people on camera knew the movie was being made
The fact that people actually belive this is real lol. the marketing was so good for this film it actually has everybody believing it wasnt scripted 🤣🤣
If you know anything about this movie, I believe he got arrested and all kinds of stuff making this movie because a lot of the people in it did not even know they were in the movie… Like the people on the train and the people walking around New York they really weren’t part of the movie from what I understand… A lot of that movie with improvise in a lot of it was real reactions from people who didn’t even know he was doing a movie
Some people got cancelled because of this, the frat boys sued because they didnt like that they looked like douchebags obviously and also the producer of the new network got fired for not vetting borat more to be on the show, Pamela anderson for some reason blamed her divorce on this if you google it but not sure why.

To the credit of the Jewish couple, those were isopods (pillbugs), which carry no disease, generally do not infest, and pose zero harm to humans. They're also easy to breed in captivity and were probably put there by the film crew for that gag lol.
I was watching that newscast live on channel 16. Funny story is that he was supposed to go to another station across town for another interview, and they cancelled last night due to a gut feeling. He passed the vetting of both stations with flying colors
I remember when my friend and I went to see it in theatres. Everyone lost their minds especially at the naked hotel scenes. It was straight chaos and I was in TEARS witnessing it all the reactions!! 😂Also, there were so many people who didn't know its a mockumentary and he was playing a character. Then they were trying to sue him afterwards as if Sasha forced them to show their how racist and homophobic they were. 😂😂 I use to watch him on his HBO show as Ali G wayyy before the movie came out so I assumed people already knew he was bullshittin' but boy was I wrong. **sighs** Great times!
Yes, the old Borat skits on the Ali G Show were hilarious. I hope he does Bruno next.
@@1nobillyno The Bruno movie came out a few years after this.
@@sgthoughtss I think he means he hopes Mell reacts to Bruno next.
@@thesplawn Ahhh, oops. lol
Quite a timely reaction too since just last month news dropped that Sacha Baron Cohen is starting a new Ali G project. That's my favorite character of his even though the movie's so-so. I still laugh so much at his interviews with priests.. politicians.. the Beckhams.. they still hold up imo.
Seeing this in theaters back in 2006 is still one of the Top 5 most hilarious theater going experiences I ever had. 🤣
Mine too! Tropic Thunder was another one that got insane laughs. But Borat was something else.
Bruno was a wild ride in theaters too I couldn’t breathe from laughing and some people walked out from being triggered 😂
This, jackass, and team America are the hardest I’ve ever laughed in a theatre
Let's face it Borat is just an hour and a half jackass stunt.
Fun Fact: The scene with Pamela Anderson had to be filmed twice, with different people because on the first try nobody jumped to save her.
Also, the fact that a lot of the people didn't know Borat was just a character and that a lot of people in this movie tried to sue Sacha Baron Cohen after it came out was hilarious.
Further facts, the security guards were from the First take.
What was the basis of the lawsuits haha?
@@made-line7627 probably something like "You made me look bad!" even though they were the ones saying that shit, lmao
yeah, they try suing for defamation like bros you weren't tricked into anything.. you put the stupid in your own mouth
frat guys got expelled from university of South Carolina. I actually met the big one one time. I was told prior to meeting him DO NOT MENTION BORAT. LOL.
Sacha Baron Cohen nearly caused a riot during the rodeo scene.
Fun fact, his village is a gipsy village in Romania and people got pretty angry after the translation was out because they couldn’t understand him beforehand
Sacha Baron Cohen is so incredibly talented, he doesn't just "stay in character" he becomes the character. It's a skill others in his profession could only wish for.
His characters are so elaborate and over the top. They're designed in such a way to provoke an extreme reaction and/or response. It almost gives an open license for whoever he is around to speak exactly what is on their mind, due to ultra confident and expressive characters he plays. It's truly a gift.
Borat/Sacha, received 20 wins & 34 nominations at various awards shows.
In real life, he's a very funny, smart, caring, and articulate individual, with a pinch of his characters querks for good measure. Furthermore, if you can believe it after his performance in Borat, he's Jewish, as are both his parents. He rarely speaks in public out of character, however, when he does, it's usually quite memorable. Khazhakstan was annoyed with how Borat portrayed their country, however, when their tourism boomed, they decided to go along with it.
Highly recommend any of his other films, as well as some interviews and speeches he's done (see below).

I saw this in the cinema and the naked hotel fight literally nearly killed me because I could not breath from laughing. Have never and will never laugh like that again!
Everything this man has done has been genius, his wife is pretty amazing too
You think the naked wrestling scene was wild, just imagine seeing it on the cinema screen! I swear I’ve never heard a cinema audience laugh as hard as they did at this movie, and I was right there with them, busting a gut. Hope Mello gets to the sequel soon 😁
That naked fight scene and Mell's face had me dyyyying XDXDXD you should consider getting traumatized by Bruno next, another gross masterpiece XDXD
Bruno is a must watch!
Oh, yes!
Bruno will destroy him 🤣
Depressed this week. Feeling lonely. Just came back from the gym at midnight here and three this on. Your laugh is infectious dude. I saw this in the cinema when it came out and I've seen it 100 times since, but enjoyed it the most now tonight in a long time.
One of the absolutely brilliant things about Borat was just how polite ordinary people are when confronted with absolute absurdity, the character came off so genuine everybody was more concerned with being welcoming and friendly than anything else.
I'd highly recommend watching all the extras and behind the scenes stuff, really helps you understand which bits were staged as parts of the movie and which parts are genuine reactions from real people, aswell as the trouble they got into trying to make all this stuff.
Sadly the sense of humour isn't really appreciated by mainstream society anymore but since it's release it has become a massive cult hit.
Highly recommend Ali g to anyone who hasn't seen it before too, aswell as The Dictator.
"Sadly the sense of humour isn't really appreciated by mainstream society anymore but since it's release it has become a massive cult hit."
What the fuck are you talking about? Borat was one of the, if not the single biggest comedy of the entire 00s. It was a cultural touchstone and it's still referred to constantly. Phrases like "very nice" and "my wife" are basically common sayings. Borat is as recognizable a movie character as Indiana Jones or Darth Vader. It's about as far from a "cult hit" as a movie can possibly be.
@@bartholen there is no need to be rude to a stranger on the internet because you had a different opinion.
@@mickieg1994It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Borat's not a "cult hit" by any conceivable standard. You might as well say Tropic Thunder or The hangover are cult hits.
I remember when we went to see this masterpiece in the cinema, the whole audience stood up and applauded when it ended... And my stomach really hurt from all that laughing...😂😂
Fun Fact: When making this movie literally everyone was not aware this was a movie or that Borat was an actor. These are all people's genuine reactions, only Pamela Anderson was in on the joke not even her security knew about it
I hope this doesn't come across as weird, but you have one of the most infectious laughs my dude. Love watching your comedy reactions most, among the other ones I do watch. Keep up the great work!
The driving instructor and the weather guy are probably my favourite real people in this movie 🤣
The beginning was actually filmed in a Romanian village, that's Romanian language not khazach.
@"genuine chocolate face, no make up", you got owned by that one!😆
They got away with the camera man by saying they are legit filming a Kazakhstan documentary on American life
Cohen wanted to do a Mercury movie that celebrated his life, whereas the band wanted one focusing on his death and how they carried on after him. Case in point, one of the scenes he pushed for that the band shot down was a recreation of Mercury's habits during concerts where he'd do a line of coke, bang a groupie, and do about 5-7 songs in a row and then rinse and repeat till the concert is over.😂
Freddy was gay.
@@TheDivayenta I mean, male groupies exist, but it's well known that Freddie slept with some women as well as men.
@@TheDivayenta He was bi... it's known that he hade both female and male sexual partners.
Cohen wanted to tell Mercury wild life of sex drugs and rock and roll while the band wanted to tell the story of the band .
@@TheDivayentaand? Groupies can be men.
I watched this movie in Theatre and a lot of people had to go to the bathroom during the movie because of the laughter. It was crazy 😂
Borat trolled an entire Romanian gypsy village and make everybody angry after the film was released into the public.
Yeah. Must've been super embarrassing.
Little fun fact. I grew up in the same church organization as the one in the film (united pentecostal church international). They would talk regularly when this first came out about how evil this man was lol. I believe this was one of the ones either in Mississippi or Louisiana, I can't remember
South Carolina.
I haven't watched you laugh this hard in a minute. Please watch the second one.
One of the best lines:
"Azamat: We should go back to New York. At least there are no Jews there."
Perfectly illustrates their utter cluelessness.
Whoah wah wee wah is now the standard reaction for me and my friends whenever we walk into a hotel room.
The naked hotel scene is peak comedy
The jokes the humor coach was teaching were of course elementary, but it was designed for those who do not understand American (or Western) humor, so you have start with the basic, old, cliche jokes to establish what are the fundamental things that are considered funny. Conan O'Brien level string dance and tiger roars are the more advanced stuff you learn on your own when you pop open a brew or light a blunt while watching late night talk shows.
The only person who was let in on the joke ahead of time throughout the whole movie was Pam Anderson.
This is a picnic compared to Bruno....it's a whole other level.
Sacha Baron Cohen often films his movies in character and just goes around to random people and tries to get their reactions XDDDDD
Jingle All The Way is the movie with Arnold in it, in this film, that you said you hadn't seen before. You have to see it, it's funny af lol.
That movie was indeed filmed without anyone knowing, so most, if not all of the reactions are honest and real
It took a lot of courage from you to do this reaction video. It was great seeing how this movie gets the best from the best people and the worst from the worst. During the making the production team got called by the cops 92 times At that time the movie got a record for being sued 7 times, all settled or dismissed. It took me a few years to watch it completely because I felt sorry about some people in there, but at the end of the day he got to the point. And doing this reaction video could have got you roasted. Thumbs up.
“Death by snu snu” had me actually spit out my drink 😂😂😂😂
"I never thought it'd end this way, but I always really hoped."
I seen this movie in theaters when I was 17. And have bought and lost the dvd like 4 times. I just watched it for the first time with my teenager.. It's still as funny as when I first seen it. The sequel was good too.
Also his show "Who is America" is wild. What people will do when they don't know they are being set up is wild
isn't one dvd enough
Mell: "Daaamn. In the first line of the movie. With kids there!" Buckle up, Buttercup.
The most patient driving instructor in the world 🤣💯
The church he ends up at is one my uncle and his family went to and you can actually see my cousin holding his little baby brother for a split second in the church.
OMG YES! was wondering when you'd be reacting to this 😅 my mom quotes this movie alot 😂 "very nice" "nice success". Also Sachas wife in real life, Isla ,is a babeeeeee
The family guy cut was the chefs kiss haha "they respected me for saying it" pissed myself hahahahaha
Bruno and Ali G are also hilarious, Sasha just knows how to tickle people just the right way
3:52 only thing that people were shocked to see is that he was wearing a suit while doing it 😂
Pamela was in in it and knew what was going to happen. Everybody else there, including her security team, did not.
I'm surprised Sacha didn't get shot, lol.
Back when this was released in late 2006, I was renting a room from a very proper, uptight, 70-something British lady in Montréal, Canada. In November (or maybe early December that year, I can't remember), she asked me what were some good new movies, as she was thinking of going to see a matinee with a friend. Anyway, I told her about Borat, but I downplayed it, and listed a couple other examples, including The Prestige and Casino Royale, warning her that Borat was maybe a bit too...much for her sensibilities (I suggested that she watch James Bond instead, as I thought very highly of Daniel Craig's first outing as 007). Well she'd have none of it (I think she took my warning as a challenge), and so one Sunday afternoon, she and her friend from church saw the masterpiece that is Borat. To her credit, she did find it extremely funny, specifically citing the naked wrestling scene as an occasion where she laughed so hard she cried (although I'm not sure what her friend thought). I never got asked for another movie recommendation though!
30:45 my favorite line from the movie is when he throws the bag down after finding out that Pamela isn't a virgin and you hear BUH-GOK! 26:01
That had me laughing when the chicken bawks getting thrown
I started cracking up just at the thought of you watching this movie! I’m so excited to watch 😂
I loved the trivia tidbits, your laugh is contagious and your editor is on point! XD
I saw this movie for the first time when I was 12ish and it wasn't until I rewatched it a few years ago that I realized Borat called Lunell from the ad, and THAT was the reason they were kicked out from the dinner. For decades I thought that the Southern dinner party hosts were terrible people who kicked them out because she was black 😅.
It was both.
15:00 MLK Drive in Philadelphia runs through Fairmont Park alongside the Schuylkill River and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's arguably the safest street in the city because there are no houses on or anywhere near it. Closes on summer weekends so people can openly bike on it.
Probably one of the best reactions I’ve seen to a movie, your face was priceless in parts 😂
Borat is so hit and miss, my girlfriend doesn’t like it but I piss myself laughing at it every time I watch it 👌🏼😆
I'm from Kazakhstan! I've never watched this movie before but I wish Sacha Baron Cohen would've visited our country it would be the best PR for us. That's the thing that would make all the media going crazy about it, we could have so much tourists here, man that sucks that some people in our country hate this movie so much
It's funny cause there's a man who hates Borat and Sasha, so he made a film about a tourist mistakenly finding his way to Kazakhstan and enjoying himself. In an interview, he showed off his life-sized doll in the image of Borat with devil horns and said "We're civilised people, we're nothing like the movie made us out to be. We're not like filthy gypsies."
So he ended up proving the movie right.
yeah because what he shows is not like kasachstan is in any sense . i was pretty angry about this.
@@baklava-tchai2247Ты из России? еее красачик что поддерживаешь Казахстан 🇰🇿 ❤
@@qazaqstan7662 no im born in qostanai kasachstan 👌
Remember the backstory of Borat is that he's filming a documentary so it wouldn't be weird that he had one or two cameramen
I saw this in the theatre not knowing shit about it beforehand. The place was exploding with laughter through the entire thing! 😆
Except for Borat, Azamat, Luenell, and Pamela Anderson, none of the characters are portrayed by actors. Most scenes in the film were unscripted.
Great video. It was nice reliving the movie with you. I cried laughing to your reaction at 22:20 - 23:00.
Love this movie bc the driving instructor is my friends grandfather lmao
The horse falling down during the anthem is magic
Where I live they just changed the name of a street from Franklin to MLK st and I swear it’s been more violent around here. I have no idea why that happens but it does.
Just to disrespect that man even more than they already did. It's a shame
@@HelloMellowXVI it is really sad! He’d be rolling in his grave if he saw how the world was today 💔
Sasha aka Borat aka Ali G aka 1000000 characters. He had an HBO show called "The Ali G Show" where he did all these characters and 90% of all the shots they thought Borat was a real person and were unaware that they were being made fun of, there was lawsuits and all that. Maybe that will make you laugh even harder lmaooooo. Also, Sasha is Jewish so his jokes are based on middle east stereotypes of Jewish hate. Dude is a genius, and there is a part 2 to Borat and it was crazier.
There's something hysterical about dropping a bag with a live chicken inside it and hearing it cluck 😂
Saw this at the theater when it came out, and I was howling all the way through.
Check "Bruno" next. Its a whole new level of outrageous.
Both movies are “real” in the sense that they were filmed with people unaware that it was a mockumentary. Most people thought it was a real person filming a real documentary. However, Borat is a character created by Sacha Baron Cohen and originally appeared in his TV show, Da Ali G Show.
Omg the Eric Andre outtro had me laughing almost as hard as your reaction. Just perfect.
Seeing your reaction made this movie funnier than when first seeing it years ago - thank you!
Sure thing
Azamat was *not* potraying Charlie Chaplin, he was playing Oliver Hardy from from Stan and Ollie, a legendary comedy duo from the early days of hollywood. Stan Laurel was a skinny and a tall guy, while Oliver Hardy was was short and stocky, just like Azamat.
Man mel, you may need to do a Schwarzenegger month and watch Last Action Hero, Twins, Jingle All the Way and Commando. You will have a blast from the past.
The national anthem scene was filmed near where I live haha
Whats crazy about this is the fact Sasha stayed in the Boray character the entire time they made the film he was Borat 100% of the time he was awake and none of this was scripted
The sequel is funny as, also he’s a genius in Who is America
Lmao ive been pulled over on Martin Luther King Blvd in Springfield, Illinois. First thing the cop did was scream for us to get the fuck out of the car. Lmao its definitely one of the worst areas in town lol.
I watch this to see Mell crack up with the jokes. Your laugh is hilarious
11:45- yes; they really aired the news segments; getting waivers/NDA's from the staff afterwards (in fact that's how ~90% of it was.)
Hilarious movie, I laughed so hard I almost gave myself a hernia. xD
Just wanted to recommend another movie that's flown completely under the radar for me and seemingly for a lot of people, "Shot Caller" (2017) starring, among many others, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister you know) and Jon Bernthal (!). Family man makes a mistake and winds up in a Californian state prison, and once itside it's sink or swim. It's a raw, unmerciful look into parts of the US prison system and what it does to people. The movie actually starts with him being released from prison, and we follow both his struggle to complete a deal he can't back out from, while his time in prison is told in flashbacks. Just a fantastic movie, great performances all around (Nikolaj is terrific!), and a haunting score. The last movie that had me this gripped was Sicario (2015), and that's saying something. o.O
Fair warning though, it does picture the heavily racially segregated US prison system where (at least in some prisons) each of the different "races" stick together. With the main character being a white guy, it does mean that the story is told from his POV, with all that that entails.
It isn't, at all, that the white guys are portrayed as the good guys, and that the other races are bad. The white guys in this are guilty of committing horrible crimes, it's just.. at least they and their choices ARE portrayed.
I would argue, however, that you could do literally the same movie with a black guy as the main character, or an hispanic, or whatever "race". That just isn't this movie.
What are you babbling on about?
@@stephenmurray2851 Not sure how to help you if you don't understand english. If you do understand english, read my comment again, but maybe a bit slower and think about each sentence before moving on to the next one.
21:34 i love that you actually address it instead of skipping by it like a lot of reactors do. i grew up in the deep south, my high school team was the rebels, our mascot was a confederate general, and the confederate flag was everywhere. their argument that it’s about “heritage” is always either in ignorance or just plain bad faith.
You said that the camera man walking around would be suspicious but they actually sais that they were filming a documentary about us to show the kazakhstan people what life in us is really like, so the camera man doesnt make it obvious
27:46 That's a reference to The Great Dictator (a film in which Charlie Chaplin played Adolf Hitler).
The second one is even better. It's worth checking out.
This movie was filmed on location across the US. It wasn't necessarily shown in the order of filming. Only 2 people on camera knew the movie was being made
The fact that people actually belive this is real lol. the marketing was so good for this film it actually has everybody believing it wasnt scripted 🤣🤣
Now watch the second one, filmed during the pandemic. "Wear mask. Save live."
If you know anything about this movie, I believe he got arrested and all kinds of stuff making this movie because a lot of the people in it did not even know they were in the movie… Like the people on the train and the people walking around New York they really weren’t part of the movie from what I understand… A lot of that movie with improvise in a lot of it was real reactions from people who didn’t even know he was doing a movie
Some people got cancelled because of this, the frat boys sued because they didnt like that they looked like douchebags obviously and also the producer of the new network got fired for not vetting borat more to be on the show, Pamela anderson for some reason blamed her divorce on this if you google it but not sure why.
Lol, she did?
“I will go to Malibu with my friend Mr Jesus and together WE WILL TAKE HER!” 🤣
Fun fact: the man who played borat (Sacha baron Cohen) is the most sued person in the world, I wonder why
and how many times has he lost?
