This somehow didn't live up to my expectations and exceeded them at the same time. I found the first half kind of boring and felt maybe I was too grown up to enjoy it. The second half was surprisingly touching and turned into a pretty sweet story. I didn't expect to be so moved by Borat letting Tutar out of her cage or telling Tutar that he loved more than his sons after fleeing the hotel. And then the post-climax reimagining of Kazakstan as feminist nation was incredible and funny and even prescriptive for a very sick America. Just fantastic. I read somewhere (this thread probably) that the theme of the movie is that America in 2020 is an unsafe place for women. I think I'll watch it again with that in mind.

When he announces the progress in Kazakhstan he says it's like feminist nations such as the United States and Saudi Arabia.

I think that lady was very nice but also incredibly ignorant and that’s why she was duped. You could argue that it’s not her fault and that it’s the result of poor education or decades of western propaganda against Eastern Europeans but she was very willing to believe that Kazakhs walk around with their women chained to a kettlebell lol

I’d blame 20 years of reality tv priming people to believe that they’re basically just improvising dramatic fiction once they’re in front of the camera. The ethos of unscripted television is “just go with it.”—you can tell she doesn’t believe what she’s seeing but is rolling with it to keep the show going. She might have even been given an outline of how the scenes should go. I’m sure she didn’t believe the reality of what was happening and that she isn’t a “professional babysitter” but that they put out an ad for locals to be on television or in an unscripted film and she either needed the money or wanted fame. If you were running a daycare and a dude dumped a woman in chains at your door, you’d call CPS or the cops immediately, yeah? Even an ignorant person would know to do that.

Knowing how much he like to contort and twist the narrative, I wouldn't be surprised if that whole scene is fabricated. The audio could easily be dubbed in, and that could be one of his own staff members shaking the door.

I think I read that the setup part was he just kept singing the same chorus until people freaked out (8+ mins apparently), and also he had a proxy make a big donation the day before the rally on condition that the proxy also be allowed to provide security, who ran interference for Sasha on stage until the crowd got really worked up.

They seemed to be genuinely chasing him off stage in the footage that was on social media back when it was recorded. And faking that bit seems a bit far fetched when their other cut clips include his co-star going into the White House without being checked by security.

I'm not disputing his means of stage exit, really. He was probably yelled off stage because he forced it happen. It's the inside the trailer part that could be easily faked. He could have shot that part a week after he got his footage of the crowd. He had more than one camera crew around, and unless we see footage from the outside of his trailer getting attacked then it didn't happen. I kind of like his movies in the way that they are good puzzles for analyzing how our own brains work. Like a magician fools our expectations and pattern recognition by keeping a ball in his left hand while pretending to put it in his right, SBC knows that showing a woman stepping over a railing and then cutting to footage of him running causes us to assume that she is going to attack him instead of going to get a beer.

I like SBC a lot but Nathan Fielder is even funnier imo. Nathan for You is probably the single funniest show I have ever seen. Fans of Fielder should check out the new show "How to With John Wilson" on HBO. NF isn't in it, but he produced it and if you like NFY it's probably right up your ally. It's a little more surreal and less gut bustingly funny, but still the same type of humor and very funny. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Oct 30, 2020 |

Nathan for You is incredible because it starts off really good and just gets better and better right to the last episode. I saw Tim and Eric do a Q&A live in January and Tim was talking about Nathan being an influence on him and giving him advice on getting projects produced/editing/etc, which totally blew my mind. I'd love to see all those guys, maybe with Eric Andre too, just running hog wild on unsuspecting americans.

You should check out All Gas No Brakes. It's got a similar vibe except the journalist guy (I don't know his name) just basically lets people speak and makes fools of themselves rather than coaxing it out of them like Borat/SBC characters. Tim Heidecker's production company recently picked All Gas No Brakes up for a show.

I got to see a NFY live show in Brooklyn where he showed us 2 eps from the upcoming season and did a q&a. He also did an interview segment where he brought some audience members on stage and gave them the Nathan Fielder treatment of just guiding things down an incredibly strange and awkward route. At one point he had a guy on stage who he got to tell a bizzare story about why he wears a wedding ring(its his dads and he started wearing it after his parents got divorced). The conversation took a bizzare turn into discussing polyamory and open relationships and some woman in the front row was not about it and started heckling and yelling her disproval of this guy. Nathan kept poking both of them and it made for probably one of the more painfully embarrassing things to witness IRL. It was basically 15 minutes of watching Natahan moderate a heated debate about monogamy. The guy just dig himself further every minute and the woman just came off crazier and crazier and Nathan looked like a kid in a candy store with how he would grill each of them on whatever weird poo poo they would say. Nathans skill to just play it so unbelievably straight while simultaneously goading people into these bizzare headspaces and spilling themselves out is unparalleled.

The whole thing kinda sucked. The scripted parts really didn't work. 3 or 4 the bits were good. None were as shocking or original as the first movie. 2* out of 5. Worth a free watch if you have prime. Would have been very disappointed if I paid $$$ to see this in theatres. Rewatch the original, its still pants pissingly funny.

I saw Borat 2 first, and then watched Borat 1 for the first time a few days later. Both were funny, but Borat 2 was funnier and a better movie all around IMO. I saw Bruno in theaters and pretty much forgot the entire experience ever happened until Borat 2 came out.
