One of my favorite lines was near the end, which I'll post in spoilers, just in case:

The chicken squawking was funny and there was also some very funny smaller parts like the bag of shit, the bar when he tells the patrons that the woman he is with is a hooker, and asking the etiquette coach how he can ask to "make a shit" when at the dinner table.

And yes the "You will never get this, You will never get this, But one time he broke out of cage...and HE GET THIS" was also hysterical.
And I loved how Borat said "vagin" at least 15 times.
God such a funny movie

Cohen is great at what he does. You'd think he would crack up at some point or just stop doing the Borat thing for a second during interviews over the past few weeks, but he doesn't. He genuinely enjoys doing it (and no wonder, with the money it's going to make).

And did anyone else find the part where he throws down his bag and you hear the chicken squawk to be the funniest thing of all time pretty much? I found the oddest things funny in Borat. The gypsy bit killed me. "I will now look at your treasures, gypsy."

Too funny. I actually have tears in my eyes right now from laughing.

"Vagin" seriously sounds bestial or something...
Oh yeah! The chicken squawking when he dropped the bag was so unexpected and random! Really funny.
I also liked when Borat was recounting his adventures and encounters... he mentioned something along the lines.. "and when I feel like shit...," the next scene was the college guys in the RV... which appropriately was the shittiest part of the movie to me.

Saw the film for a second time last night. Still very funny. "Women get to choose who they have sex with."
"WHAT?!"
"That's good, right?"
"Is not good for me."
Hilarious movie.

All right, it was very funny in parts. at the same time very offensive and extremely racist and political. Its a great film that mock's ignorance.
There are about 4 or 5 really laugh out loud scenes with a couple of good lines thrown throughout. There are however a lot of bad moments as well. Particuarly the scenes when you can see it was most likely for the show, and they decided, lets just make a movie instead.
A lot of the scenes are staged, not scripted, a big difference. However Sacha is very good at what he does. I would say that he is most likely this generations Andy Kaufman in that he does whats funny to him and not to the audience no matter the cost.
So overall, I saw way too much before the film opened, and all the hype around, the opening weekend, and the fact that its in IMDB top 250 films (Which it honestly has no place to be in.)
Its probably top 3 comedies of the year, but of all time- doesnt even come close
B+ (The plus is because it holds no boundaries)

I mean, this has to be one of the most quotable movies ever.

Funny movie. Not quite the classic that people are too quick to call it, and when the novelty wears off, I think a truer perspective will come into play, but it is very original, and grossly humorous. I was entertained.

It was funny in some parts, but it never got over-the-top funny for me like Talladega Nights was. Guess that's the advantage of a script. They did do an incredible job at getting some good scenes based off of people's reactions of Borat.
Grade: B/B-

Oh, yeah, the funniest part was when he brought down that plastic bag of fresh poop to the dinner table.

B People are calling it a classic?
Maybe not quite... but it is definitely a very superior satire that is sure to hold up with time in terms of entertainment and comedic genius. I'm still very impressed with Baron's ability to be hilarious and insightful.
