Just bored of him. It's not hard making racists look like idiots. All of his shit is just the same, it was funny for a little while (barely) but it's lost what little appeal it had

Agree, liked it as a kid as Borat came around. Nowadays it´s not that hard to make offensive jokes and exploit "not so smart" people.
It got stale pretty quickly.
Would have a better effect if the jokes and social satire were more subtle and trenchant.

absurdish over the top humor is not for everyone everytime
imo this has had few hits and few misses

also it takes some skills and preparation to go as far as he does and pull trough so it's not as simple as shooting fish on barrel
imo comedy hasn't have to be subtle to be good and subtle can be bad also
if you can laught to yourself and can have empathy/sympathy at the same time, you can also for others
not saying the series is good but decent enough since there aren't good stuff out there
nathan for you is also worth watching

Had potential, lost the plot.

Dick chenney and Moore interviews were huge wastes of potential
