In a year filled with chaos and uncertainty, we all seek moments of joy to cling to. With the recent election results offering a glimmer of hope—congratulations to our new leaders!—we still face a turbulent political landscape, a pandemic that seems never-ending, and the lingering effects of a divisive year. As the post-election euphoria begins to fade, I find myself searching for light-hearted distractions to lift my spirits amidst the heaviness of 2020.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to look far. Sacha Baron Cohen appeared on my Amazon Prime Video homepage, and I was ready to dive into laughter. I settled into my worn couch, sipped my reheated coffee, and lost myself in the hilarity of the Borat sequel. For those two hours, everything felt a little brighter. Cohen’s return to my screen was a welcome relief, and I can’t imagine finishing this tumultuous year without his comedic genius.
Let’s be real—no one else has quite managed to reveal the bizarre antics of figures like Rudy Giuliani with such audacity and humor. In one unforgettable week, Cohen exposed Giuliani’s antics while he conducted a press conference in a parking lot between a crematorium and a sex toy store. That’s comedy gold, in my book.
Among the many laugh-out-loud moments in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, one scene stands out as a personal favorite. I won’t spoil too much, but it involves Borat and his teenage daughter, Tutar, at a debutante ball. Things take a wild turn when Tutar confides that she is on her “moon blood,” which prompts Borat to enthusiastically suggest they perform a traditional fertility dance.
What follows is nothing short of chaotic brilliance. The pair begins dancing in a style reminiscent of their Kazakh roots, much to the amusement of the audience. However, as Tutar spins and lifts her dress, the stark reality of her menstrual situation becomes clear, leading to a mix of shock and laughter among the attendees. This unexpected twist not only highlights the absurdity of societal norms around menstruation but also serves as a powerful reminder that periods are a natural part of life that should be openly acknowledged rather than shamed.
This particular scene from Borat 2 truly made my year. It’s no wonder the internet exploded with reactions to the “moon blood” moment. By incorporating taboo topics into comedic narratives, Cohen dismantles the stigma associated with them. Watching Tutar embrace her womanhood while simultaneously challenging societal expectations was both hilarious and empowering.
While I’m not suggesting we all start showcasing our menstrual products in public, this comedic approach serves as a reminder of the importance of normalizing conversations around periods. In a world where sexism often rears its ugly head, Tutar’s unapologetic display amidst a room full of bewildered fathers was refreshingly bold.
If you haven’t seen this film yet, which serves as a humorous critique of the current state of America, I highly recommend it. I found it even funnier upon rewatching. We need artists like Sacha Baron Cohen to help us laugh at the absurdities of our reality, especially when the world feels like a reality show gone wrong.
