What was funny about the Cohen characters was not his racial stereotyping (which was not the point of it at all, and in fact was meant to be ironic), but the way he took people in. Ali G getting people like Tony Benn, Mohamed Al Fayad and Boutros Boutros Ghali to take him seriously despite the outrageously ****** questions he was asking them, was hilarious. Borat getting white American anti-Semites to go into detail about how they wanted to murder all the ***s (little suspecting that he is ***ish) was also hilarious.
So in fact it was ironic highbrow comedy of a sort, but it seems to have been too subtle for you and you missed the point.Last edited by Dave Rado; 03-15-2011, 11:07 AM.Comment

Sorry, don't like him or find him funny. I find him obvious. And hardly subtle.What was funny about the Cohen characters was not his racial stereotyping (which was not the point of it at all, and in fact was meant to be ironic), but the way he took people in.

We all know hillbillies want to kill the ***s. No big revelation there unless you are naive in the first place.
Louis CK is funny to me. Cohen isn't.Comment

Problem is, Haye thinks he sounds funny/entertaining, but he sounds the opposite. He's tasteless, no class.I don't understand the complaints.
Surely any Klitschko fan would welcome a genuine challenge, so that Wlad can prove he's the best and also to unify all the belts.
Haye is a massive underdog, he just knows how to get people talking and sell a fight. If he can generate £4-5M fighting a bum like Audley, imagine how much money he'll generate fighting the best HW in the world. It's all just business.Comment
