I’ve gone on record as saying I’m not one of those people who gets the comedic stylings of Borat. I tend to find his humor a bit insulting as he preys on innocent people to get a lot of his laughs. That’s just me though. The comedic character, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, has a huge following. Among those who appreciate Borat’s humor: filmmaker (and we use that term loosely) Uwe Boll.

According to Skewed and Reviewed’s Gareth, Uwe Boll has been talking to Sacha Baron Cohen about playing the role of Osama in his upcoming film Postal. The action/comedy film is (of course) based on a video game. This is the same movie Boll offered to box film critics in, although no news has come on him actually taking anyone up on his challenge.

Cohen appeals to me more when he’s appearing in other people’s movies instead of performing his own flavor of humor, although I didn’t care for him in Talladega Nights. Sadly, I can’t imagine Uwe Boll stepping the actor’s performance up very much. After all, if Academy Award winning actors like Ben Kingsley look terrible in Boll’s films, how much can he do with a cult-favored comedian?
