Borat

What is a 'not' jokes?

Pat Haggerty

A 'not' joke is when we're trying to make fun of something and what we do is, we make a statement that we pretend is true but at the end, we say 'not,' which means it's not true.

Borat

So teach me how to make one.

Pat Haggerty

Alright. What color is your suit?

Borat

This suit is gray.

Pat Haggerty

Gray. I would call it blue, okay?
'Borat: It's gray.

Pat Haggerty

Alright, it's blue-gray. But it...

Borat

Well, it's more gray.

Pat Haggerty

It's certainly not black, right? Alright, let's say it's gray. But it's not...

Borat

It is gray.

Pat Haggerty

Okay, so a 'not' joke, I would say, 'That suit is black. Not!'

Borat

This-a suit is NOT BLACK!

Pat Haggerty

No, no, 'not' has to be at the end.

Borat

Oh, okay.

Pat Haggerty

Okay.

Borat

This suit is black not.

Pat Haggerty

This suit is black. Pause. You know what a pause is?

Borat

Yes.

Pat Haggerty

This suit is black. Not!

Borat

This suit is black, pause, not.

Pat Haggerty

No, you don't say 'pause.' This suit is black... That's a pause. Not!

Borat

This suit is black...

Pat Haggerty

Okay, um... I don't... I don't...I'm not quite...

Borat

...Not!
