Man, I just remembered the scene when he sees the cockroaches under the door.

I lost my breath from laughing so much at that part.
Wow...that was just stupid. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE stupid humor. Kung Pow is positively mindless, and I think it's hilarious. Borat was just dumb. I can't even see how people found it funny. Often, if I personally don't think something is funny I can see how others can. This one, not so much.

I thought it was brilliant satire (during that part). Don't worry, I am the guy who walked out of Slumdog. :)

I thought it was brilliant and hilarious. They likened Jews to cockroaches and then were so afraid of the shape shifting cockroach Jews that they were trying to bribe them by throwing dollar bills at them. $1 bills.

Genius.

I also appreciated the Pam Anderson part. :)

I understand what happened in the scene. I was there. It is just not hilarious nor brilliant, imo.

Do they really expect anyone to believe that anyone would think that there are shape-shifting Jews? Really? It's stupid.

The "trying to poison us" bit was better, and even that was dumb.

Someone. Quick. Find Linderbee's sense of humor. :)

I know. I feel like I have to defend my sense of humor...I think I've got a pretty good one. I know I laugh way more than you do in general.

Ah, well. To each his own. You'll probably hate Kung Pow.

I had no interest in seeing Kung Pow.

I haven't finished Anchorman yet. I watched about half of it at like 12:30am and had to turn it off and never went back to it.

I think we actually all fell asleep. Considering I have seen it about 10 times, I feel I'm excused...dcr--not so much.

Honestly, when I hook up the surround sound again, I can think of at least 10 movies that I want to see before I watch Anchorman again.

It is because of comments/views like this that I am incredulous that you liked Borat.
