I saw Borat yesterday, and enjoyed it very much, though I had expected it to be much more ‘make-fists-with-your-toes’-like. This deleted scene is best ever.

That’s not funny, that’s painful to watch… I actually wanted to see the movie until this. I don’t mind slow humor, but this drags on for no reason…
So what you’re saying is, you do mind slow humor :)
O my … that guy deserves the award for the most patient employee of the century! Hilarious :)
I haven’t seen it yet, so I have no idea if this is the general pace of the humor, but erm… Alex… you do realize that you’re deciding not to see a movie, because you don’t like something, that is not in the movie, right?
It was left out of the movie exactly because it’d slow it down too much.
So go see the movie Alex, you’ll love it.
This is like a Family Guy bit gone horribly wrong.
Yet the funny stays intact.
I love this scene. It is “torchurefully wonderful,” in that it both adgitates and entertains you because of the repetitiveness. When I first watched it, I couldn’t beleive that guy continued to answer every question with ‘cheese.’ It ended up hypnotising me, until I sort of woke up and thought, “holy shit is this still on?” a bit after then ending. I love when Borat holds up the parmasean and thinks it is a pen. I don’t know how either of them kept a straight face during this.
I don’t think this scene is for everyone, but my sense of humor is stretching things out till they become annoying and make you go insane. Such as the game I call ‘scenes,’ where you hit the back button on the remote for a DVD at the beginning of a scene repeatedly in the same spot. So torchurefully wonderful. Though it shouldn’t have been put in the actual movie because of the length.
