It must be my age (almost 52) but like so many other of today's "in" things I don't get this guy (Sasha Baron Cohen). I've tried to watch his HBO "Da Ali G Show", nothing. I've seen trailers and some clips of "Borat" same effect, nothing. I can only attribute it to age. I don't like David Chappell or "Jackass" either.

I'm 58 and my only hesitation at seeing this in the theatre is that I'm afraid I'll piss my pants. I can't get enuf of his Borat character on the Ali G show. His bit of singing in the cowboy bar of "Throw the Jew Down the Well" still brings tears to my eyes. He is absolutely nuts!
...not near the fuddy-duddy you are!Although I've never seen Chapelle...
Did you at least enjoy The Forty-Year-Old Virgin? I went with a 70-y.o. friend and we laughed our fool heads off.
Call me "fuddy-duddy" then because I didn't get much from "The Forty-Year-Old Virgin" either.
Well, perhaps you should try the Clinton approach to sex (sorry NOT sex) and seduction!
I occasionally got a laugh from Ali G but I think Borat is funnier.
Although his work does play straight down the line of racial stereotyping, I think that like Chapelle he puts emough spin on it to make it work. The only taboo is to not be funny.
Jackass? Exactly.
Nor did I and I walked out half way through.

That should make you feel pretty bad.
