Reuters ^ | 11/07/2007 | Belinda Goldsmith

Q: Who do you favor for President in the United States?

A: "I cannot believe that it possible a woman can become Premier of US and A - in Kazakhstan, we say that to give a woman power, is like to give a monkey a gun - very dangerous. We do not give monkeys guns any more in Kazakhstan ever since the Astana Zoo massacre of 2003 when Torkin the orang-utan shoot 17 schoolchildrens. I personal would like the basketball player, Barak Obamas to be Premier."

In very small doses, he amuses me. But he wears on me quickly.

I know this guy is popular but for me he’s just a one trick pony. I tried watching the movie but after the first 20 minutes it seemed like the same joke over and over.

Small doses are OK, I guess.

I prefer Carlos Mencia, for my non PC stuff.

Movie wore on me quickly.

Not sure how many people he can fool anymore.

I don’t reward people for rude and offensive behavior. This guy gets none of my time.

Wonder if Father Guido Sarducci would offend me now. I thought he was funnier than H back when... .

That's the part in the movie where I turned it off.

Rude and offensive doesn’t even begin to describe the bunch I play with....

On second guess, maybe I couldn’t stand it even if I were winning.

I’ll take your word for it.

"...he’s just a one trick pony. I tried watching the movie but after the first 20 minutes it seemed like the same joke over and over."

I stayed for the whole movie because I was trying to recall where I'd seen it all before...It donned on me that he was just rehashing a lot of the Yakov Smirnov schtick from the '80's. I do have to credit Borat/Cohen with being a pretty agile thinker when he dive bombs unsuspecting people, and while there is a fair degree of raunch in his humor, he doesn't rely on it exclusively as do other so-called comedians.

Agreed. Short spots on SNL, fine. Full length movie, not so much.

Chuckling, well, except for the time you spent telling us how he gets none of your time.

Sorry, couldn’t resist (genetic flaw).

Yeah, it is the same basic joke over and over.

Though I’m told the opening of Borat is much funnier (and much more vulgar) if one knows Romanian.

I lasted about the same.

I just don’t enjoy seeing people humilated, and I don’t suffer fools well.
