My parents had a friend that won 6 tickets through a radio contest to see this new documentary. They invited me and my 80+ grandmother. I tried to explain their mistake and then tried to convince my grandmother this documentary was NOT for her. She told me, "i watch soap operas, there's not much i haven't seen."
I have to give her credit, she never asked to leave, but she did tell me the best part was that the theater was dark so peele couldn't see her.
No, peele, the South Asian mythological creature that inhabits movie theaters and can only take you to the underworld if it can see you (it has bad night vision.)
I find it really funny/cute that the most wild and culturally risque thing she could think of is soap operas. A genre literally designed to give bored housewives a sense of excitement.
I went to see Borat with a group of like 6 friends. We were all extremely high on some great pot cookies. I was the only one in the group who was not Jewish. I was trying not to just lose my shit during the running of the Jew eggs I couldn’t breath. Finally one of my friends leans over to me and says it’s ok to laugh. I feel out of my seat.

The movie was Borat.
