Cohen peaked with Borat

I've never understood the appeal of Sacha Baron Cohen. His humor is almost always rooted in blatant racial and cultural stereotypes (mostly Arabs & Muslims), and as such I have always found his films not even marginally funny. I think it's unfortunate that movies like this one, which unabashedly rely on negative racial stereotypes, are so widely welcomed and lauded, especially knowing that he is of Jewish origin. It's frankly cheap, easy, unintelligent humor that perpetuates falsehoods about Arabs and Muslims, and as such, his success depends on the suspension of any form of progressive, intelligent world and cultural views. I know I'm going to get comments on here saying I need to lighten up, it's just a movie, get a sense of humor...but fuck that. Blackface was never funny, and neither is Arabface.

What the hell is "Arabface"? See, in your quest for sensitivity it's you who harbors the real bigotry. 

Also, what the hell does it matter if he's of Jewish origin? I mean other than the implication that Jews should be held to a stricter standard, or your ignorance that being Jewish or Arab, aren't mutually exclusive identities? 

How is the use of the word "Arabface" bigoted? It simply describes a non-Arab dressing in Arab garb, speaking in a stereotypical Arab accent, and performing jokes rooted in orientalist views of Arab culture.  It is akin to a Caucasian dressing in Blackface and doing the same. They're both defined by bigoted humor of an "opposing" ethnic group.

You have to be quite ignorant to not understand the reason why Cohen's depictions of Arabs, as man of Jewish origin, is bigoted. In case you didn't know, there's some tension between Arabs and Jews that you might want to learn about, so a Jew mocking an Arab (and vice versa) is seen as an attempt to perpetuate dehumanizing stereotypes about the other. Arabs and Jews may be biologically similar (as are all humans), but that doesn't mean political oppositions and racial tensions don't exist.

If a white non jew was doing it youd see the NAACP and ADL calling for his head and companies pulling ads.

Guy's lampooning blood-thirsty dictators who murdered their own people and led them down a path of destruction. Works for me.

all jokes will offend someone, so its either this actual funny style or the adam sandler kind. i prefer the offending.

I never said anything about being offended by Cohen. I'm actually not offended at all, even though I'm an Arab...I just don't think his humor is funny.  Don't get me wrong, have no problem with racial humor when it's done in an intelligent way (ie, Chappelle, Pryor, Cho, etc)...but there is no payoff for a Cohen movie. His humor is done purely at the expense of other ethnic groups, and it has no redeeming qualities if you're even remotely aware of the consequences of supporting these myths. 

Pedophiles are fucking immature assholes. now this joke would be offensive to Joe Paterno, but not the rest of us non-pedophiles. that's how some humor works.

I've got to say that ending in which his men moved the finish line towards him was hilarious.

I was laughing at that part too
