Debunking Borat

Amazing to see so many reviewers who are suddenly "politically in the middle" yet can't even make it to the end of a five sentence review without going full right-wing conspiracy theorist. That's less self-control than my preteen kids exhibit.

This piece isn't really particularly necessary and the humor isn't particularly incisive compared to the two full-length Borat movies. It doesn't break new ground, just treads the same ground as Subsequent Moviefilm. It's amusing enough, but watching two inane hicks (who, to be fair, seem like patient enough people when they're not spouting hateful nonsense) repeat the same old tired conspiracy theories that the reviewers here are repeating just can't really sustain a 40 minute runtime. That said, if you're a Borat fan, this will need to be on your watchlist for at least one viewing. Based on my critique here, I'd rate this a 7, but with so many snowflakes rating it a 1, I figure rating it a 10 will provide a balance.

Seeing how many triggered reviews here, the show achieved their purpose.

This is satire at it best.

Watch this as it intended to be, a comedy by borat to show you otherside of the argument.

Truth hurts but don't be bitter, get motivated to be better.

In the end people dont really care what you think, they believe what they want to believe.

"Borat's American Lockdown & Debunking Borat" (2021 release; 7 episodes totaling 83 min.) is a follow-up of sorts to last year's "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm", and intends to address the many conspiracy theories that have built up the last couple of years, and which are brought forward in the movie.

"American Lockdown" (37 min.) revisits the movie's segments involving the conspiracy theorists Jim and Jerry, and adds some footage that was left out of the movie for one reason or another. The best scenes involve Borat being introduced to Amazon's Alexa, and Borat imagining that Alexa actually is alive and living in the device. There is also more detailed footage of the QAnon rally that Borat ends up addressing. We then go "Debunking Borat" (6 episodes of 7-8 min. Each), in which Jim and Jerry meet (virtually) with various experts who will debunk these crazy conspiracy theories going around about Bill Gates, George Soros, the Clintons, the "Chinese Virus", etc. It all leads up to the very last episode in which none other than Hillary Clinton herself addresses Jim and Jerry (in a taped video message).

Bottom line: I really wonder who all this is intended for. If you've seen "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm", it is because you almost certainly abhor these crazy conspiracy theories and the people that stupidly fall for them, so there is no reason to watch this. If you haven't watch "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" but are curious, by all means watch the film before you spend any time on "American Lockdown & Debunking Borat". And if you are convinced that these conspiracy theories are "in fact" correct, I feel sorry for you (actually I don't).

This show consists of the first 40 minute episode, with nothing really new from when Borat 2 stayed with the two dudes, then six more 7 minute episodes of what seems to be a teenage boy narrating over why the two guys silly conspiracies were wrong. I mean ZERO laughs and it's just weird as heck. Skip it, trust me.

First episode were funny deleted scenes taken from the Borat movie. The next episodes are totally different,they are much shorter and became more serious, they talk about politics and they try to debunk fake conspiracy theories with those two men who became friends with Borat during the quarentene. Borat only appears in the first episode. Very Nice!
