Rudy Giuliani's unfortunate 'Borat' appearance is now a meme

Hands down his pants and everything.

Rudy Giuliani, national clown, is once again trending.

Giuliani makes an unfortunate appearance in the Borat sequel, which premieres Friday. A picture from the incident that features Giuliani — who, let us remind you, is still President Trump's personal lawyer — in a compromising position is making the rounds on Twitter.

In the new movie, aptly titled Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat Sagdiyev is back in the United States as a Kazakh operative. He is seeking to befriend allies of the Trump administration with the help of his "non-male son" Tutar. Borat and his 15-year-old daughter Tutar, played by Maria Bakalova, crash a crisis pregnancy center, attend a debutante ball, and somehow manage to seduce former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani, who is not known for his critical thinking skills, easily fell into the movie's trap. Under the guise of being a "conservative journalist," Tutar invites Giuliani back to her hotel room for drinks after an "interview." Hidden cameras capture Giuliani reclining on the bed in front of Tutar. He is seen "fiddling with his untucked shirt," the Guardian reports, and touching himself. Borat then barges in to interrupt the encounter. Dressed in a pink bikini, he informs Giuliani that Tutar is "too old" for him.

Giuliani, who didn't appear to recognize Cohen, was startled enough to report him to the NYPD. The damage to Giuliani's reputation — whatever's left of it — was already done. A still from the scene, which shows Giuliani with his hand down his pants, is already the viral foundation of a meme.

The encounter is almost funny enough to make everyone forget about this week's earlier scandal, the infamous Zoom Dick.

You can catch the rest of Borat and Tutar's antics when the film premieres on Amazon Prime on Friday.
