Character created and performed by
Sacha Baron Cohen.
Borat is a journalist for Kazakhstani television, hosting a series on Western life and culture: 'Borat's Guide to Britain' and later 'Borat's Guide to America'.
Borat attends social events and suchlike, asking odd questions and embarrasing the subject of interviews with obscure (fabricated) Kazakhstani customs.
After being told he should, in polite circles, ask to be excused before leaving the table, he returned, saying 'I had a good shiit'. Also asked
the organiser of a party at
Oxford University if they were planning to hire prostitutes.
