Borat definitely had some strange sexual stuff with the initial gay pride parade hotel meetup (that freaking rubber fist was an awesome running joke) and the whole Pamela Anderson thing... she isn't my idea of attractive. So for Borat to think she is so hot makes me laugh, too. Man I hope I don't get the wrong kind of Google searches pointing to this page, now...

But I laughed DAMN hard at it (just saw it last night). Not surprisingly the bit that brought me to tears was the nekkid Khazakstani wrestling you mention above. It was so over the top...I could barely breath from the laughs busting out of my gut. And this brings me back to my basic thesis about great comedies (well, not great, but movies that give me side-splitting laughs): the ultimate comedy MUST have at least one good oddball sex sequence (for Borat, I'm taking the liberties of counting the naked wrestling as a sex scene) My other examples are: A Fish Called Wanda: Otto's awesome boot sniffing sex with Jamie Lee Curtis Zoolander: The awesome group sex with Hansel, Zoolander and the midget American Pie: The pie and the say my name bitch sequence I guess I could on and on...but yeah, Borat makes the cut for "great comedy" in my mind.
