Sacha Baron Cohen's Col. Erran Morad declared "the funniest Israeli ever" following Roy Moore takedown

Haaretz

Esquire has already named Erran Morad Cohen's No. 1 character, topping Ali G (No. 2) and Borat (No. 3). But Israeli newspaper Haaretz says Cohen's "anti-terror expert" has emerged as the funniest Israeli after just three episodes on Who Is America? "Even if he weren’t a GOP wrecking ball, the character of Col. Erran Morad would still be funny as hell," says Adrian Hennigan. "First, there’s that look. Everything about him screams macho Israeli military type: the swaggering gait straight from an IDF propaganda video; the ramrod-straight back; the outfits – the black sweatshirt with ATS 'Anti Terror School' logo whose accompanying Hebrew translation is printed the wrong way around i.e., the text goes from left to right, mocking the interviewees’ superficial awareness of Israel. Heck, even his hair is jet-black....The voice is comedy gold, too. Baron Cohen may have grown up in very comfortable surroundings in north London, but presumably his Israeli-born sabra mother provided some inspiration for the vocals here...Wherever he got the accent from, it certainly wasn’t by listening to Adam Sandler in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan."
