This has been filming for the last week or two in my city, Long Beach, CA. I can definitely tell you people will know of Borat here. We're not some little city in the middle of the country, lol.
harder, but still possible with the amount of time that has passed
Boy am I excited to hear everyone's shitty attempts at Borat impressions again, especially from those who didn't quite grasp the satire.
I love Borat. Didn't he take a shit on the sign of one of trumps buildings in New York, or am I imaging that?
I'm honestly a little conflicted about this. I love what Sacha Baron Cohen exposes through his comedy, but so much of Borat as it existed in the mind of popular culture was a funny stereotype man. I've heard lots of quoting Borat but not a lot of quoting people who were in Borat.
Who is America had me feeling similarly conflicted, where Erran Morad, Gio Monaldo, and OMGWhizzBoyOMG! produced results but other characters like Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr. just had their targets end up being mildly confused and didn't really teach us anything about them, or overshadowed them with the interviewer's own gimmicks.

I also feel like this should be brought up.
It's a Roma village; a minority group in the country.

'Tis very true... I'll end it there.
Bruno is a completely different character.
I know, but it was billed as a sequel with the same idea as Borat.
Oh man. I thought I was going to die laughing during that scene.
The part after the sequence when it pans off to the other dude in the elevator.. I screamed in even more laughter..

Deleted comment. :(
There are people in America that would ask what language we speak in England, and people in this thread are worried that s movie wouldnt work because they'd know who Borat is? They would have seen the dvd cover and not watched it because they were worried it had subtitles, theyre not going to know who Borat is.
When I was in america I showed Republicans, confused how a chud like Trump was leading their party, the Rodeo scene from the first movie.
They couldn't understand that it wasnt scripted, that it was an actual prank on racist assholes.
Anyone who has seen Borat isn't going to be a possible target of this movie. That a sequel can happen is an indictment of willful ignorance and american exceptionalism.
It's just occurred to me that I don't want to watch this movie unless I hear they pulled something really special out of the bag. Think about it. It's going to be lots of talking to Trump supporters and going "Hey, look how dumb they are", but that's been done to death now and I'm numb to it. Trump supporters are immune to satire at this point because there's only so many times I can watch an overweight white woman talk absolute dogshit into a microphone. When youtube throws this sort of stuff at me I skip it because I am bored, tired, and numb to the topic. They are stupid. Painfully, exhaustingly stupid.

I get what you are saying, but isnt that TV show he did for Channel 4 proof that he will target more than just uneducated Trump voters?
It made headlines about pissing Republican politicians off, but it targeted people from all walks of life.
I dont think he will change that for Borat 2. It is clear that he is fascinated by the reactions he gets prodding at America, using awful stereotypes to dig beneath people's skin and make them show their ugly selves.
From that Reddit link they make it seem like
"Borat" is disguising himself to do the interviews because he thinks everyone will recognize him from his movie.
I wonder how upset they would be to find out his personal background? Or maybe they think Borat is real?
Oh my god Borat 2 out of nowhere, finally some good news. I hope they'll release it digitally somehow instead of waiting for movie theaters to be profitable
This article claims it has already been screened and they expect it to be released by Election Day:

Outside of the more obvious things, one thing I find interesting about the segments where the joke is essentially 'endear yourself to people by making horrible jokes/comments to satirise their implied values' is that you must have to sit there, as a comic, and essentially come up with routines that wildly different groups would find funny and then also find a way for that to be funny to other disparate groups that will watch your show. In that sense, I always found it fascinating.Watching premiere of Borat will always been one of the most memorable cinema experiences I ever had. When he is chasing his manager naked through hotel, I've never seen or heard such loud and sustained laughter ever before.
I still think his HBO and British show segments are so criminally underrated and just love him interacting with regular folk-

I do think a lot of the older stuff is underrated though, the Ali G interview with Buzz Aldrin always gets me.

If there is going to be a Borat 2, it makes sense to shoot it before announcing it.
