Character reaction and plot happens.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Borat's previous film, which InUniverse is an actual documentary made for the Kazakh government, was incredibly profitable in the United States. But the film's unintentionally unflattering portrayal of Kazakhstan embarrassed them on a global scale, and Borat became a social pariah in his home country because of this.
** Because of the first film's success (both in RealLife and InUniverse), most of the American public easily recognise Borat when he's out in the open [[note]]Creator/SachaBaronCohen had previously retired the character of Borat for this exact reason[[/note]], necessitating him to wear various disguises to carry out his mission.

* CanonDiscontinuity: In the fourteen years between the two films, Creator/SachaBaronCohen occasionally reprised the role of Borat in various shorts, including a sketch on ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' where he [[https://youtu.be/f5xLNypFrV4?si=MsaqiDaoPGDxKCC_ tampered with the 2018 US midterm elections]]. The opening scene of ''Subsequent Moviefilm'' ignores these appearances, and establishes upfront that Borat has spent the entire fourteen year gap imprisoned in TheGulag.

Since its release, the film has gotten considerable critical attention for its remarkably self-aware attempt to engage with the lasting cultural legacy of the original ''Borat'', which (while very popular in the mid-2000s) attracted a fair amount of controversy for its use of "shock comedy". Since much of the humor of the original film stemmed from the title character's flagrant racism, misogyny, homophobia, and antisemitism, many critics have questioned whether portraying such sentiments [[PlayedForLaughs humorously]] might unintentionally help normalize them--making it easier for ''actual'' bigots to express their views in the public sphere by [[JustJokingJustification coating them in a thin layer of irony]]. Released amid a period of escalating political and social tensions in the United States, the sequel essentially tackles this criticism head-on, portraying Borat navigating a world where his most detestable qualities have turned him into a cultural icon, and where (in some quarters, at least) his hateful views suddenly don't seem so out-of-place.
