The Ali G show on HBO was funnier.

The movie was too “produced” or something, and had some obviously staged parts, which I guess is necessary in order to follow the plot, but that’s just the thing, I don’t give a crap about the plot. The funny parts are when he is interacting with legitimate unsuspecting people, not when he’s 69′n his fat sidekick. I couldn’t care less about the storyline of Borat travelling across the country to meet Pamela Anderson. Speaking of staged and scripted, the Pamela Anderson segment was an obviously scripted part of the movie. Pamela Anderson absolutely knew what was going to happen. Maybe this is old news, but I’ve just finally gotten around to seeing the movie now that it’s out on DVD. I’m glad I didn’t pay to see it when it was in theatres. Instead, I just got it from my blockbuster account.
