Much more entertaining than the normal interstitial bits I see. I think it’s well-done…funny. Much more entertaining than the normal interstitial bits I see.

While I am SICK TO DEATH of being bombarded with advertisements in every area of my entertainment life...T.V...radio...internet...mail...ENOUGH ALREADY!....an animated clip making fun of someone trying to better themselves to get along in our county is many steps in the wrong direction to keeping me interested in anything other than the T.V program I am watching. All I can say is THANK GOD I can skip through them since the standards of what is acceptable keeps getting lower and lower.

Go easy, Alfred. I'd guess Oleg is like Borat 'cause both of them are somewhat like so many actual Central Aisian blokes. The world is only so big, mate. I've had a hundred Olegs drive me through American cities. They're good natured mostly. Seems like Oleg is a rip off of real life, then. Funny ol' thing, that! I like the cartoon. I read where they've got other characters. So, bring 'em on! I'd like to see downloads for the whole episodes. Maybe they can give Jib-Jab a run for their money. Cheers, big-ears!

NO!!!! It is a rip off of borat! Now from those short clips i don't know if there's something else going on, but they are making his first impression just like borat. The LAST thing i want to see is a rip off of something I love. Now if Borat had never been made, then yes, i would think it was a funny idea and would want to watch it. BUT - i cant stand godddamn rippoffs. I will watch the first episodes of the show to actually see what it is though, and then decide if i like it or not. Is Oleg russian? This one time I had a cab triver named Osama. but he was such a nice guy.

It just bothers me that we as a country are giving valuable air time to an illegal. At least he is learning English. As my parent's used to say, 'If your going too come to america, youve got to learn english." Good point about the white women.

Not too clever in this day and age, some people seem to get a kick out of absolute nonsense, it's like WOW that was neat, but I think they have ingested too many happy pills or powder. This is a very dangerous time in history, and the more we can do to make things more secure and not joke about them, the sooner we can get back to normal, IF EVER AGAIN!!!

Now GE's "One-Second Theater" commercials... THOSE are entertaining, innovative, and keep me interested. I've been known to spend ages so I can read every frame of them. Oleg just makes me want to skip the commercials more than I already do. I agree with Patty, Oleg squicks me out.
