    Because he "IMMEDIATELY" wanted to get the word out once he found out he was an imposter.

    Republicans already believe in a massive liberal conspiracy that controls the media, this line of logic is far less of a stretch.

    VERB
    1. feel concern or interest; attach importance to something.

    This isn't important to me at all, it is a time waster. But okay, I guess you have a direct attachment to each and every quip or response you provide here.

    It's stupid regardless.
    So what if it turned out to be real? Then you're starring in ads promoting arming 4-5 year olds. I understand his excuse, but it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go along with it if you're actually opposed to the idea. Best case scenario is nothing happens or you're able to warn other gun rights activists (neither of those things happened). Worse case is you get humiliated on TV. Worst case is you're actually promoting arming toddlers.

    Faced with a choice of just walking away and avoiding the possibility of promoting "Kinderguardians" even if it means you can't uncover a prank aimed at conservatives, I think walking away is clearly the better option.

    TBF I think Elliot was right on that one and Carla was being a bit of a b****. Good episode though.

    Since the beginning of time.

    Btw, I heard that episode 14 of season 3 of Dora the Explorer had a 0.7 rating....not that I care, I just really felt like looking up ratings for shows I dont care about and then sharing these numbers with strangers on the internet
    ...because I simply don't care!

    I'm sorry -- even if you hate Cohen, how freaking talented is he to pull of this many characters. Here's the one I assume he unleashed on Palin too.

    I love this skit on moving the 99 into the 1. LOL.

    I’m surprised so many people are falling for this. Anyone who’s seen Borat would recognize the voice of a number of these characters, I think.

    You kinda answered your own question. These people are out of touch. They don't really know or care about who they represent, they just have their views and hope the louder they scream them the more power they'll get. That's why I doubt they'll even know what a Borat is.

    this plus it was like 15 years ago plus it was less popular/less viewers/less people who know who he is in reality than it is in the mind of somebody who is a fan of the old show.

    I'm sorry but I will always remember him for Talladega Nights, he was just amazing on it. Plus, TBS shows it almost every other weekend!
