how would one go about making "comedy" funny again?

i mean, i laughed like two or three times watching that trailer, but not b/c of anything Cohen was doing.

Bad sign when they can't find anything funny for the trailer.

pretty constant chuckles throughout but that's about it.

the movie was hilarious

and cohen is a bit of a genius for exploiting people's prejudice in a way that was both deeply subversive and entertaining. (borat, bruno)

What I've heard is that this movie's pretty funny, it's just being marketed horribly.

yeah that's probably part of it, I remember thinking the trailers looked pathetic

Nope.

This is exactly as bad as the trailers made it look. Probably even worse. What a piece of shit.

The unoriginality in this character is staggering. That was my main thought watching the trailer. I don't see the point, does anyone find dictator jokes funny anymore?

He should go back to TV shows and inventive characters. Ali G is still the best one.

I haven't seen this, but I did catch an interview with him on NPR a few weeks back. He was surprisingly interesting. I guess there's a scene in the movie with Ahmadinejad (or that was at least filmed for it), and that it was a matter of happenstance. They were looking for places to shoot, and found out that they were like a block from the hotel he was staying in. Law enforcement was not pleased...there are some big guys in the scene, and they were basically there to make sure he didn't try and get any closer.

He also talked about people calling the police so often during the filming of Borat to report a questionable Arab in an ice cream van that he had to talk to federal authorities.
