Borat Sagdiyev, the fictional Kazakh journalist played by Sacha Baron Cohen, became widely known through the 2006 comedy film Borat. His enthusiastic catchphrases, delivered in a distinctive accent, were widely quoted and turned into reaction clips online. Very Nice became one of the most reused, shared on forums, in video edits and on soundboards as a shorthand for exaggerated approval. Its long final vowel makes it instantly recognisable even without the image, which helps explain why it remains a staple meme reaction years after the film.
