Yeah, he's basically making fun of gays and getting rich doing it.

Just got home a few minutes ago from seeing a screening of the movie
I thought some parts were HILARIOUS, like the reality show part, the swingers party, and everything else related to the baby
other parts were humorous and really funny inside but not laugh-out-loud funny
I'd be willing to see it again if friends wanted to go, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it twice+
The Hangover was TONS funnier overall, but there were 30 second portions in Brüno that were better than any small scenes like that in the Hangover
EDIT:
Oh and by the way there is a TON of dick in the movie (meatspin for a good 10 seconds... I'm not kidding and even an improvised meatspin v2) and almost no boobs... only one set of boobs and they are nasty hooker fake boobs

How'd it get an R rating when they show dick? Is it censored?

Anyone else like that?

From what I've seen in the trailers, not only will I NOT go see it in a theater, I won't rent it when it comes to DVD.
Borat was in the same category for me.
I don't get what people see in this kind of "humor."
Ditto... I finally caved and watched Borat on DVD... Big mistake. The definition of suck. Bruno looks like Borat II: We Ran Out of Ideas
I'll pass
borat had a few good laughs...but i cant remember a single one of them, and i never wanted to watch it again.
the guy is a not-funny-enough attention whore. hes up there with will ferrell, as far as im concerned
Borat: If this car drive into a group of gypsies, will there be any damage to the car?
Car Dealership owner: It depends on how hard you hit them and all that.
Borat: *Hard*
Car Dealership owner: You might-if somebody rolls on the windshield, they could crack your windshield.
Borat: How fast do I need to go to guarantee I kill them?
Car Dealership owner: Uh-let me tell you something with this vehicle here probably doing 35-45 miles per hour will do it.
Borat: Great! When I uh, buy my wife, at the start she was uh, cook good, her vazhïn work well, and she strong on plow. But after three years when she was fifteen, then she become weak, her voice become deep: BORAT BORAT, eh, she receive hair on chest, and vazhïn hang like sleeve of wizard.
Car Dealership owner: Huh-Jesus...
Borat: How do I know that this will not happen with the car?
Car Dealership owner: Chevrolette guarantees you that with a warranty.

SBC's intent is to bring out the racism/bigotry in others by presenting them with a situation where they think they're free to act how they really feel. The comedy is exposing these people for what they are. Of course he's doing up the stereotype to the fullest extent possible.
To that end, he's not making fun of gays at all. In Borat he was supposed to be ultra anti-semite but most of the language he's speaking in the dialogue is Yiddish and he himself is Jewish.
