Da Ali G Show

This is a very good series from Sacha Baron Cohen, we see Ali G, Bruno and Borat in action. The series comprises of 6 episodes with extras on the DVD too which are good. This is rather adventurous comedy, the three characters are shown in clips interviewing people from the USA. The characters are there to poke fun at the people and what they believe in and stand for. Each show is loosely based around a theme but they are all very similar. We see politicians interviewed, religious people, fashion designers and various other minor celebrities. The idea is to get the interviewees to say something offensive or not notice when Sacha says something ...  Read the complete review

Ali G is a fictional character played by English actor Sacha Baron Cohen. He is a "wannabe" hip hop gangsta from a suburban part of England, who missed out on education because his teachers "ain't got nothin left dat dey can teach me". As the quote demonstrates, Ali G has his own unique dialect based on the lyrics he has heard in rap songs and that kind of hip hop culture. He travels the world interviewing the most intelligent people, but asking the stupidest questions. The interviews are not staged, they are conducted so that the people actually believe they are being interviewed by "Ali G" and that Ali G is for real (no pun intended).

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Sacha Baron Cohen stars in this satirical TV series where he has three characters who interview people. Ali G, Bruno and Borat are all characters used to make the guests look intolerant and embarrassed. IS IT ANY GOOD: I love this show! Cohen is a brilliant actor, and how he manages to maintain a straight face I don't know. His three guises are brilliant and completely different from each other. Ali G is a 'black' hip hop gangster dude who uses street language to baffle his guests. His sexual comments often insult and confuse guests. For example, he interviews a boy who doesn't believe in sex before marriage, and a porn ...  Read the complete review

Ali G is probably one of the biggest success story of 1999. After stealing the limelight on the 11 0'clock show, his brilliant video was released: 'ali G. innit' this video was on everyone's Christmas list, and people waited with baited breath for ali's own show to start. I have to say 'da ali g show' is probably not as funny as the video, but the video was always going to be hard to follow. the show has changed direction somewhat with the introduction ok borak and the music at the end, but the general idea of interviewing and embarrassing guests is still there. the ali g show is not offensive if you take it in the context it is ...  Read the complete review

This man was first recognized from the television because of his ability to make people laugh. Since then he has been in a music video with Madonna. How cool. He now has this new show that’s on every Friday at 10:30 or 11. The show only lasts for 40 minutes. Which is quite a shame really because it’s such a good show. When I first started watching his show I thought that it was quite good. I then thought I would watch it again. When watching it he made me laugh so much that I was almost crying. Some of the things he talks about are quite rude, but nether the less he still is funny. I recently saw the one where he interviews the main singer from ...  Read the complete review
