Funny / Borat

• The naked fight is both this and a major Fan Disservice. To elaborate, Borat and Azamat look like they're having rough anal sex, then end up in a 69 position, then Borat chases Azamat down the hall waving a rubber fist. After an extremely Uncomfortable Elevator Moment in which a stone-faced hotel guest is likely scarred for life, the fight spills into a conference room where it is finally broken up.
  • Made even funnier still that if you look in the reflection of the elevator, you can see he is wearing a sock on his schlong.
  • Made even funnier by the fact that Azamat never needs the censor bar; his massive, sagging belly acts as his own Scenery Censor.
  • Meanwhile Borat's censor bar gets bigger and bigger as the fight goes on.
  • In Kazakh^note actually Armenian with English subtitles: "Eat my asshole!"
  • "How dare you make hand-party to Pamela!"
• "This my mother. She oldest woman in all Kuzcek! She 43." She looks about 200.
• "My moustache still tastes of your testes!"
• "Fuck off, Death!" (It's so random it's hilarious!)
• An exchange so funny, that even the people involved in it, roared with laughter:
  Borat: Do Jesus like me?
  Pastor: Absolutely, Jesus loves you!
  Borat: Do Jesus like my sons?
  Pastor: Jesus loves your sons.
  Borat: Do Jesus love my retard brother, Bilo?
  Pastor: He loves your brother, Bilo.
  Borat: Do Jesus love my neighbour, Nursultan Tulyakbay?
  Pastor: Yes, he loves everybody.
  Borat: Nobody love my neighbour Nursultan Tulyakbay!
  • Even better: The church organist plays a sting. Everyone seemed to find that Actually Pretty Funny.
• Special mention goes to this exchange:
  Borat: It is a custom, have cheese at the start. (hands the politician the cheese)
  Politician: Thank you. (eats it)
  Borat: My wife, she make this cheese. (pause) She make it with milk from her tit.
  Politician: (genuinely believing him, pauses for a minute, makes pained faces, and audibly swallows)
• [Points at a small boy]: "This is Urkin, town rapist. Naughty, naughty!"
  • And later, while leaving the town: "Urkin, not too much raping… Humans only!".
  • The car he's leaving town in is being pulled by a mule.
• "This is Natalya. (passionately makes out with her) She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan." (she holds up a trophy) "Very nice!"
• "What's up with it, Vanilla Face? Me and my homie Azamat just parked our slab outside. We need somewhere to post up our black asses for tonight. So uh, bang bang, uh skid skid, nigga."
• Borat attending a gay pride parade and the interview with Alan Keys the next day.
  • "Are you telling me the man who tried to put a rubber fist in my ahnoos was a homosexual?!"
    • Said rubber fist is later given to a one-armed neighbour in Kazahkstan.
• The relatively deadpan reactions Borat gets from a Hummer salesman and a gun store owner when he asks questions like "What is the best gun to defend from a Jew?" and "What is the best car to attract a woman who's shaved down below?"
  • Even better, the gun store owner hands him a Desert Eagle, which is manufactured in Israel.
  • He also thinks a "pussy magnet" is a literal car accessory.
• Borat's attempt to kidnap marry Pamela Anderson.
  • Pamela, I will give you your own plow!"
• Borat's high-society dinner. He excuses himself to go to the bathroom...and comes back holding a bag of his own crap.
• The Kazhakstan National Anthem at the closing credits.
  Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world! All other countries are run by little girls!
  • Borat is still wreaking havoc even after his character has been "killed off"; the anthem was used in lieu of the real anthem at a real-world sporting event.
• "The Jews have shifted their shapes!"
• Borat's ice cream van drives up alongside a park with the jingle playing. A bunch of children run up, expecting ice cream only to find a bear in the back.
• The montage of Borat exploring New York. We see him creeping out various strangers, taking a dump in front of the Trump Hotel, masturbating in front of a lingerie store, and asking a random woman "Very nice, how much?"
• Borat's attempts at American humour:
  • "My sister, she show her vazhin, to, my brother Bilo, and she say, "You will never get this! You will never get this! La la la la la!" He behind his cage, he crazy crazy, everybody laugh, you will never get this. But then one day, he break a cage, and he get this! And we all laugh. High five!"
  • "I had sexy time with my mother-in-law" That wasn't a joke.
  • Borat's inability to do the "...not!" remark, either saying it too soon or waiting too long to say it. He then gets it right at the end of the film, though the context is a bit off.
• "I was not prepared to argue with a man dressed as Hitler."
• Borat describing his neighbor:
  "He is my neighbor, Nursaltan Tuyakbay. He is pain in my assholes. I get a window from a glass, he must get a window from a glass. I get a step for house, he must get a step. I get a clock radio...he cannot afford. Great success!"
• At one point, Borat discusses feminism with a group of women, with predictable results. One of the women makes an exceedingly patient attempt to explain why his behavior is demeaning. Borat's voiceover chimes in.
  "I could not concentrate on what this old man was saying."
• Borat visiting a yard sale, believing the woman is a Romani.
• When Borat returns to Kuzcek, he says that they no longer have "The Running of The Jew"^note An event where people run away from a "Jew" (who looks like Satan) which is broadcast on Kazakh TV as they have converted to Christianity - cut to the village people torturing a Jew who is being crucified on a cross.
• The fact that Borat himself ended up on local news because of what he did at the Rodeo event. Keep in mind, they were only told they were filming a documentary, not a movie.
• The Borat DVD deserves a mention.
  • In the language selection, if you pick Hebrew, messages will pop up on screen, saying "YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED JEW", "KEEP YOUR CLAWS WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN" and "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHIFT YOUR SHAPE".
    • During this, someone (persumably from the Kazakhstan Ministry of Information) can be heard saying "JEW IN VICINITY!" 8 times.
  • The DVD disc itself was deliberately made to look like it was just burnt onto it, with Borat being apparently written with a Sharpie onto it.
    • Apparently, so many people called up their video rental stores about being ripped off and it happened so much that the staff on the other line began asking whether the DVD they bought was Borat or not.
