Borat, the Khazakstani reporter, is a character created by Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen has innovated a new style of comedy. In costume and in character, Borat encounters real people who aren't aware of the gag. Borat does ridiculous things and the unsuspected people react how they will.
Borat is a powerful tool, because Borat acts very racist. Because Borat is so racist, other people are more willing to let their true feelings show, because they pale in comparison to Borat'sn racism.
Borat holds interviews claiming he works for Khazak television, he goes to gay pride fests, gyms, rodeos, and more.
The only way to appreciate Borat is through his own words...:
"[To the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner singing at rodeo] Kazakhstan is the greatest coun-try in the world. All the other countries are run by lit-le girls. Kazakhstan in Asias #1 exporter of potassium, all other countries have inferior potassium"
Borat is very controversial. Some think his fake racism goes to far, and that his character only increases racism. Some think his character is too hard on Kazakhstan, though he claims the brunt of social criticism was directed at America.
Despite the criticism, Borat remains among the funniest acts ever!
