Did Sascha Baron Cohen get the idea for Borat from "Perfect Strangers"?

While technically from different cahntries (Balki from Mypos and Borat from Kazakhstan), there seem to be a lot of similar themes (and, even accents).

Probably not, but now you have me wanting to see a deep fake with Balki in scenes from Borat.

There was a Turkish immigrant Major Cagri that became one of it not the first internet celebrity back in 1999 when his peculiar web page went viral. Borax is a complete ripoff of this guy. Only real ones who were online in 1999 know this

Is that the gender neutral version of Borat?

Balki was pretty much an updated Latka from Taxi aka Andy’s Foreign Man routine. I see Sasha ripping off Kaufman far more than Balki, including a lot more than Foreign Man.

Probably was influenced more by Andy Kaufman's Latka from Taxi than anything for Borat.

Fish-Out-Of-Water is a common and overused Hollywood trope

I'm watching Death Valley Days right now.
Here's a YouTube with different openings, with different music, they used . They all have the 20 Mule team pulling the wagon.
