Incredible. I am one of those people that understand and respect the 'embarrassment' humor of Curb and Ali G, but can hardly stomach the awkwardness. If you could see a webcam of me watching Saw and then an episode of Curb without knowing which one I was watching when, you would guess them backwards. Borat is fucking incredible. I was worried that after an entire series, Borat's humor potential would be dried up, but just like Jackass (the original) it came off as a best-of-compilation despite it being all new material.
