SBC’s movies are like crappy reality TV shows adapted for the big screen. He films 100 of hours of people caught on candid camera, stitches together 2 hours of mildly funny content in the editing room (often times misleadingly edited, as well as misleading the people he films), and throws in some scripted elements to give the semblance of a story.

Edit: It’s cruel, unethical, and lacking in artistic merit.

It's hard to pick the exact moment or moments when we officially get old, but one of those moments for me was when I stopped enjoying prank or hidden-camera comedy.

I laughed pretty hard when i first saw the Borat tv episodes, but watching those bits drawn out in movies kind of ruined it for me. As a naturally good liar, I started realizing that it doesn't take much comedic creativity to lie to people and record their natural reactions. Especially when it's like little old ladies trying to be nice to the weird man from out of town.
