Some Jokes Aren't So Funny As Borat Gets Punched In The Face November 13, 2006 9:47 p.m. EST Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer New York, NY (AHN) - Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays the culturally clueless Kazakhstani TV reporter, Borat, got more than he bargained for on the streets of the Big Apple. While pranking an innocent bystander in New York, Borat said to a man, "I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it." The man, however, didn't appreciate the remark and punched the comedian in the face. According to London's Sun newspaper Cohen, the comedian was struck again and again before being rescued by actor friend (and star of Ten series House) Hugh Laurie, who was accompanying Cohen to a New York bar. The reported incident took place after Laurie and Cohen appeared on the US TV show Saturday Night Live late last month.
