Bruno by far. Much funnier and also was less humiliating to the people it made fun of.
Bruno: 1
Borat: 0
Borat by a nose hair, but one of those long ones that tickle your nostril.

Bruno 2/10
Borat 8/10
Unexpectedly, I thought Bruno was better. Borat was my favourite character and Bruno was my least favorite character on the Ali G program as Bruno was so one-dimensional and limited, so I avoided seeing "Bruno" until it was on TV. However I laughed harder at "Bruno", as it went so much further than "Borat". I discovered the descriptions I'd read of the most notorious bits gave no idea of how funny or outrageous or clever they were, or how they fit within the context of the movie. And most of the criticisms (positive or negative) of both movies had nothing to do with how funny they were, but rather with how deserving the targets of the pranks were and how satisfying their reactions were relative to the reviewer's ideology, or how cohesive the plots were. This is a comedy, not propaganda or drama, so kindly stick your boring ideologies and plot arcs up your well-lubricated butts before reviewing films like this.
shareBruno all the way. Borat was good, but Bruno was likely the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie (with the possible exception of the South Park film way back in '99).
Keeping score-
Bruno: 6
Borat:8
I'm sellin my soul to the Devil in you
I actually watched Bruno before I saw Borat. I liked them both: Borat was a much more likeable character and had some great scenes, but Bruno really had me laughing out loud, which is something I never do.
Best moments in Bruno:
Bruno's line, "Are the glasses too much? Look at me, I'm wearing sunglasses," meanwhile he was wearing a pink fuzzy unitard with a fake penis flapping around.
The pantomimed make-out scene at the psychic's office.
The two blonde charity girls. "You can't make bracelets out of a extinct animal."
When he was naming the celebrities but giving them German-sounding names and he got to "Bradolph Pittler."
The penis scene right after the Harrison Ford "interview."
Bruno: Does he like [lit phosphorous]?
Dad: Loves it.
Bruno: Oh good!
"Yes mein fuhrer."
Dominatrix: What's this? You want to dress me up as a man?!
Bruno: No, it's just a beard.
