This show is so repetitive. It's all the same from show to show. The level of humor is one-note, even across 3 sketches (Borat, Ali G, and Bruno). The whole show is basically an interview sketch where he basically tries to make the interviewees as uncomfortable and thrown off as possible, whether with homophobia in the flyover states (Bruno), unapologetic ignorance flavored with b-boyishness juxtaposed against old geriatric important farts... I mean figures of society (Ali G), and Eastern European fish-out-of-water tactlessness (Borat). It's all the same one-level of humor over and over again... but I can't seem to get enough of it. I sat through 12 episodes in 2 sittings. It is so flip-pin' funny - Booyakasha, yo check it, you gotta watch this show.
Some of the most memorable stuff off the top of my head. SPOILERS AHEAD.
Watch this show, when you can.
Some of the most memorable stuff off the top of my head. SPOILERS AHEAD.
- (Ali G) Trying to get Donald Trump to invest in his ice cream glove idea.
- (Bruno) Asking a fashion designer at a fashion show if he needs another male model and claiming that he is "chrysler's muse". Then crashing the runway anyway and doing the worm on it.
- (Borat) Going to an Oklahoma Council meeting and getting an arbitrary 10 minute stand up moment of silence.
- (Ali G) Getting anyone from Sam Donaldson to Gore Vidal to that pretentious guy on the Actor's Studio show to read Ebonics off a page, especially if it is accompanied by a beat-box. You gotta watch the end credits to catch it.
- (Bruno) Going to a senior's line dancing class and having a crush on an old fart and trying to get the old fart to notice him.
