I don't know how many of his fans are lurking this site, but I am one of them. I think the guy is a genius, although many would disagree. All three of his characters tickle my ribs like no other. But which one is your favourite?

For me it's Ali G.

He is great!
Those who disagree, generally, do not get it or are just turned off.... Which I could understand.


My favorite is Borat, but Ali G is great as well.
Bruno is not bad, havn't seen the movie yet though.

I like him. All his charcters are very funny, but Borat is my favourite. I've always liked offensive humour. If it's funny and satirical, all the better.

Agreed. And for me if it involves politics and/or religion well then it's golden!
In Borat I ALMOST felt bad for all those people in the church who thought they were seeing some miracle, they'll probably never know they all were taken completely for a ride....LOL

Saw Bruno yesterday. Quite funny and, shall I say, 'interesting', though definetly not as good as Borat, which is what I voted for.

I really enjoyed Borat and would have liked to see Ali G.Tomorrow Bruno will be released in France,I think I will go to the movies.In France,it was "hyped" by a great satirical TV broadcast called Groland Magzine(the best!)thanks to Jules Edouard Moustic.

Ali G was brilliant.

Borat was just a "shock" version - I don't like that sort of humour.

The little I've seen of Bruno is enough to convince me that I won't like it.

Better than Borat? Most have told me it's good but doesn't compare.

I found it to be better than Borat, the films are similar in premise but the quality of how he exposes people and their views is delivered in a much more humorous manner in Bruno. Also it has better 'shock comedy' elements.

Its definately not a case of 'if youve seen borat youve seen bruno' as although the style is similar the delivery is not.

That interview is in my top 5 moments in comedy, no joke. They honestly had nowhere to turn

Borat is my favourite.

Just saw Bruno.

Good, but not as good as Borat in my opinion.
It had the essentials: satire, making fun of politicians, ( I ALMOST felt bad for Ron Paul) and yet again, they did a great job of making people look completely stupid.

However, I wish it was a little more subtle, like Borat was. Also this movie was a lot more shock value.
Good overall. Borat is still the best!

Also: The guy has some nerve. I couldn't believe what he did in Borat but he spoke to a f*cking terrorist leader and said your leader osama looks like a dirty santa.
Shocked

Bruno is by far my least favorite while Borat can do no wrong! Ali G I guess then, is in the middle. xD

What he said.  There were a couple points I laughed at in both Borat and Bruno, but overall I can't say I found them very exciting.

This guy is a legend. Ali G is my favourite. Being watching his videos for the past 1 month. Hilarious.

Ali G anyday...


Bruno was good, basically Borat re-hashed again though.
