10 Times Borat Went Too Far

10. 10. Cambridge (The Ali G Show)

The prestigious Cambridge University is Sacha Baron Cohen’s alma mater, so where better a place for Borat to cause mischief than within those hallowed halls?

As part of his ‘Guide to Britain’ segment on Da Ali G Show, Borat took a trip to the ancient institution to see where “most famous men in world study”. He, of course, got up to his usual antics with both staff and students at this unmatched centre of education.

With one Dr. Ian Tuson, he asked why women were allowed to attend the university and, in true Borat fashion, managed to get the good doctor to expose his own ugly prejudices. Apparently, women do not have “creative brains”.

He caused further awkwardness by asking a Cambridge ball attendee when the prostitutes were arriving. The segment is also noteworthy for including a rare occasion in which an interviewee refuses to politely go along with one of Borat’s lewd lines of questioning and outright tells him that he is being offensive. One for the history books.
