This is the [red-band trailer](http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/bruno/international-red-band-trailer). Personally, I found _Borat_ a bit overrated, but I gotta admit this does look promising. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Apparently, no one has really beat the shit out of him yet, because heā€™s still full of it. Seriously, do people really think that prank calls would be funnier if they were 2 hours long and on film? Oh, wait, Crank Yankers has been done. ---

The guy is somewhat funny but waaaaay over-rated. The way people were carrying on and on and on about Borat youā€™d think there was some ground breaking stuff going on there. Where have these people been for the last couple decades?? Did they miss the edgy pranks of The Jerky Boys, Crank Yankers, Jackass, Tom Green, Stuttering John? It had all been done before, and better, and not half staged. ---

Where have these people been for the last couple decades?? Did they miss the edgy pranks of The Jerky Boys, Crank Yankers, Jackass, Tom Green, Stuttering John? The difference, and I agree that itā€™s a subtle one, is that The Jerky Boys, Crank Yankers, Jackass, Tom Green and Stuttering John arenā€™t _funny_ while the Borat movie was hilarious. ---

I love Borat, but Bruno makes me cringe. Not because of the character, but because of the reactions he gets. He really seems to bring out the worst in people, much more so than Borat. ---

Hey, instead of an offensive racial stereotype, now heā€™s an offensive homosexual stereotype! _Thatā€™s_ original! ---

The scripted parts of Borat were average comedy at best, but it was second to none at exposing peopleā€™s actual ignorance. I can only imagine Bruno being even better at bringing the crap out of real people in the most hilarious of ways. The trailer looks hilarious. So slap him down in the south and letā€™s see the sparks fly! ---

So slap him down in the south and letā€™s see the sparks fly! Iā€™m with you. I didnā€™t go into Borat expecting there to be some greater message from it, but I was surprised by how much insight youā€™re given to the thought processes of folks. Sure, heā€™s a tool and the jokes are lame and childish, but itā€™s goddamn fascinating to see how people react. ---
