Well yeah, the fact Borat got a major movie is a good indication of why that character got popular. Before that he wasn’t that popular outside of the UK.
It’s also the reason he doesn’t do much Ali G anymore. The character was heavy on stupidity but didn’t do a lot for bringing out the opinions of his guests. It was mostly about intentional cringe.
Bruno was a failure of a movie but was probably the best character on the Ali G show.
Also, you use cringey like a pejorative term but it’s exactly what made all of his characters popular. If you don’t like cringe comedy, of course you won’t like SBC. It’s literally his MO.
