Borat, a foreigner from Kazakhstan comes to America and learns American customs and prejudices.
Brüno, a gay foreigner from Austria comes to America and learns American customs and homophobia.
The Dictator, a former island dictator comes to America and has to blend in with American customs and prejudices?

Limits of using a persona. After the success of the first movie he said in interviews he could not get away doing that again.
Appears he is milking it.
One reason many of Sadlers movies often fail.

I have no idea why, but I think I kind of like Brüno just a tad bit more than Borat.

He is a character actor. Borat, Bruno and Ali G were all in his repertoire on his TV show before he got movie deals for all of them. Everything else has just been playing upon that fact.
