- Warning: Spoilers below if you haven’t seen “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” streaming now on Amazon.
Out of seemingly nowhere, Sacha Baron Cohen gave the world a sequel to his hit 2006 comedy “Borat,” and like that first movie it has once again delivered something we just can’t stop talking about.
“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bride to American Regime to Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, uses the mockumentary formula Baron Cohen has mastered in not just “Borat,” but also “Da Ali G Show” and “Who Is America?” to show the ugly and beautiful sides of American society — but this time with the added tension of a nation divided by politics and the handling of a pandemic.
To pull that off with hilarious success, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” is filled with dozens of colourful characters — some who were in on Baron Cohen’s jokes and many others who were not.
Here we rank all 43 characters in “Borat 2” from most despicable to great.
43. Cakemaker who wrote anti-Semitic remark on a cake for Borat
While travelling America, Borat is tasked with doing two things: present his 15-year-old daughter, Tutar (actress Maria Bakalova), to Vice President Mike Pence and bring back a chocolate cake for Nursultan Nazarbayev, the prime minister of his native country.
But Borat decided to go the the extra mile by getting something written on the cake.
He and Tutar walk into a pastry shop and get a cakemaker to write on a cake, “Jews will not replace us,” which the woman does without hesitation.
The name of the cakemaker and establishment is not shown in the movie, but it’s revealed by an eagle-eyed reporter at The Post and Courier that the location is Spartan Bakery in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
This was certainly one of the darkest examples of anti-Semitism in the movie.
