The Borat character is just a moron. I loathe him.

I liked Ali G better.

I love borat I think hes better than ali G, although I do like ali g except for his irritating accent. And the two characters after borat - bruno and the dictator are not remotely as funny as the previous two.

I just cant stop laughing how borat irritates everyone or confuses what they are saying its so good

You might have seen my recent thread about Sacha Baron-Cohen who plays Borat (and others) possibly having AS.

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt224526.html

I've never seen this interview before (I only watched the first one).

What has struck me hugely, is that SBC has posteriorly rotated ears, a known feature of autism (which I have too)! Compare his ears to the presenters' ears which are much more upright.

So I have selected yes on the poll because I think it's looking more and more likely.

Not sure why this would be classed as a Random thread when it follows the rules of General, it has something to do with autism. :scratch: :shrug:

He doesn't have it. People on here need to seriously quit diagnosing every single quirky movie and tv character with AS. His behavior is comedic and is supposed to be a person from a foreign country who doesn't know or understand American norms and customs.

...did you my thread http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt224526.html

...which talks about the actual person, Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Borat? This talks about his real behaviour not his character's behaviour.

I've seen him in interviews. He speaks in a very socially natural manner. Nothing to indicate he has autism.
