 Borat Sagdiyev, Kazakhstani.
If you haven't seen his trailer yet, you'll be pleasantly suprised. He's funnier than Yakov Smirnov, by far. It's not even close, I laughed at least 5 times in this 2 minute trailer.

Sacha Baron Cohen a.k.a. Ali G.
I've heard he's funny, but haven't seen too much of his work. This one seems like an instant classic. I could have sworn he was legit. Great dialect, he must have had a coach.

He was massive here in the UK with the Ali G " interviews "...now he seems to be bigger in the US ? I haven't seen much of him recently, he made a full length feature film that more or less flopped at the box office..then very little since.

He needed to move out of the UK once his marks got wind of what he was doing, and were too hard to catch.

Yes, I looked up Ali G after the video
and he seems like he can only be funny when the "marks" did actually think he was Ukranian. He seems like a solo version of "Punk'd" here in the USA where people are made to believe crazy things are happening unrehearsed around them, even had Wilmer Valderama's car towed away and replaced with a similar one, so a man could destroy it before his eyes, in a fit of jealous rage. There is a line, and once that line is crossed people don't forget. Perhaps Ali G, just needs more characters to keep the public guessing. This character is funny, but a little homo-erotic, in some scenes.

That was pretty good
I'd probably watch the movie if I didn't have anything else to do.
Speaking of humorous video clips, did everyone get to see Charlie the Unicorn? I find the video strangely compelling and impossible to turn my eyes away from it. It's in the Chit Chat/British forum and the thread is called Charlieeeeeeeee.
Soulcrates! Homo erotic? Are you talking about the part with the chickens on the bus? Or was it the driving lessons, when he was drinking vodka. Or perhaps the dinner party? Oh...I know what you are referring to. The over the shoulder testicle holder, AKA speedo suspenders? Am I right? Hey....it's ok to be gay!

No, there was a longer scene I saw.
He was in a Bathouse with nude men, getting massaged in his inner thigh. It was a little iffy. Also he referred to a boat as being in the shape of a mans "best friend". Then kissed the winning men, at least 6, on their cheeks, and as he came to the female, he did not kiss her. There is a longer clip out there, and he seems to put the moves on every old man he meets. It's creepy, sometimes funny, but defintely creepy.

That's part of the joke: The insane, "homoerotic" as you put it, people in America/Britain will put up with because they see him as just a crazy Eastern European.

Borat...
There is an article on Borat in the latest newsweek that gives a bit more background to the video clips.... Some of the people claim they knew early on in their encounters with Borat that something was fishy, but not:
'Bobby Rowe, a rodeo veteran of nearly 50 years from Dickson, Tenn., [who] agreed to let Borat sing 'The Star Spangled baner' before a major rodeo in Western Virginia.
Once Borat took the mike, he saluted George W.Bush by saying, "May he drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq," then butchered the national anthem so badly that a horse reared up and fell over.
Rowe, in a word, freaked. "I go out there," he recalls, "and I say, 'Get the hell outta this dadgum building! Half the sumbucks in here are probably packin' heat, and they'll put you in front of the firin' squad.' Boy they got in their trucks and hauled boogie."
When Rowe later learned that Borat was an actor on HBO, he breathed easy. He doesn't get HBO, and neither do his friends.'
