18. Violence Fierce 2.0

    In this movie, sticks and stones definitely inflict less damage than names.

19. Rudeness Vile 5.0

    Borat’s shtick – his comedic stock in trade – is rudeness delivered with the innocence of feigned ignorance. At this he’s a past master. Or is that a gas passer? Either way, the joke is always on someone.

    This level of rudeness doesn’t come within the narrow bounds of the normal space-time continuum.
