Examples of [[Misaimed Fandom]] for characters created by comedians
* Sacha Baron Cohen relies on this phenomenon when performing in the character of ''[[Borat]]'' -- he presents what can only be described as an over-the-top, wholly unbelievable portrayal of a backwards, anti-Semitic Central Asian reporter, expressing opinions that most people would find intolerable, and in so doing, gets people to ''agree'' with those opinions. Perhaps the ultimate example is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3IMTJjzfo "In My Country There Is Problem"], which starts off innocently enough before launching into the chorus "Throw the Jew down the well/So my country can be free..." which the audience had no reservations at all about singing along to. The video is both hilarious and very, very disturbing.
