Jordan Peele is a self-professed lifelong horror fan, so it shouldn't be surprising that he found his way into the genre, even if he did get his start in side-splitting sketch comedy shows.
Anyway, it was laugh-out-loud funny for, like, everyone, and I got up in the middle of the movie and walked out, because I was like, " This is so unfunny." I didn't think Borat was funny.
