Finally saw Borat and couldn't stop laughing

As a sarcastic social commentary on the U.S., I thought it was spectacularly clever. I hope those people like the rodeo manager and the frat boys from USC (South Carolina) realize they are big idiots. I also loved Bob Barr's facial expression with the cheese and the dinner party group once Borat returns from his bathroom break.

Best scene that did not involve someone making a racist/homophobic/mysoginist statement was when Borat and Azamat were fighting in the nude.

1. The nude scene was one of the few that really worked for me

I thought there were a few brilliant scenes - that one, and the one where he's traveling with the frat boys, and the scene near the end when he tries to "marry" Pam Anderson. The rest of it, there were a few good ideas, but the execution felt almost rushed, like they couldn't wait to get through this joke and on to another.

2. & his acceptance/performance at the Golden Globes, about that scene

He pointed out his co-star sitting at a back table with liquor flowing, then went on and on with deliberate timing about the naked scene. The audience was breathless with laughter. He described the hairy nether regions of the other dude, and his own proximity to them, how gas was released from a body cavity that had stored it for 30 years. The people were falling off the chairs. Then the punch line: "And (while it was happening) I said to myself, 'I'd better get a fucking award for this!' "
