Borat

I was ardently opposed to seeing Borat but was coerced by a bunch of friends who bought me some beers and my ticket. I was not opposed because I don’t like stupid humor. Oh contraire: nary a fart I haven’t found funny or a poop joke I haven’t made. But something about the hype and the hoopla made me shirk from this movie like the rotten seed I knew it was going to be. And I wasn’t disappointed. The only part I really remembering laughing at was when Borat referred to his sister’s vagine (vagina) as a wizard’s sleeve. That was inspired. But the rest of it…just too obvious to be funny, or too uncomfortable, or too damn stupid, and not in the good way. I know, I know, it’s a satire. But I like satire, I like potty jokes, I like making fun of people. But I still didn’t like Borat. I feel like a social pariah amongst the humor inclined. Can anyone back me up on this?
