Old news. He was funny for about 5 minutes when he was on the 11 o'clock show. The joke wore off a long time ago...IMO of course.

NOT lame. You have to see the actual show. I know many Americans will not understand his brand of humour (an English white guy who thinks he is black and regurgitates hip hop and rastafari culture), but his satire is top notch.

that's the thing about satire. it's very territorial. in general, Americans don't get British satire, and the British don't get American satire. he's free to try though... but i doubt that it's long for this world.

I don't see how Americans could possibly get Ali G... I didn't think his humour would travel well... the jokes probably aren't as funny or aren't funny for the same reasons.

Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G is an incredibly funny guy, or he was before he went big-time and got crap. He was the highlight of the 11 O Clock Show on Channel 4 where he would interview unsuspecting politicians etc posing as the "Voice of Youth" (doing "serious issues" for a fake kids TV show). Fucking brilliant stuff. The Tony Benn interview was a classic.

His own show was great too... the article about drugs... the FBI interview... really funny. Also, his other character Borat is very very funny also.

The less said about Ali G nowadays though, and the movie... the better really! He should just let Ali G die and focus on Borat smile

I like Ali G... I saw him TRL the other day I thought he was funny. Carson ask him a serious question like what should President Bush do about the war with Iraq... and Ali G said Sadam and bush should just battle it out in a break dance battle lol

Seen the first two episodes on HBO, and it's corny. Even the funniest moments get dragged out in over-long skits that dampen the humor.

After Tom Green's shenanigans, which people grew weary of in a season or so, Ali G ain't gonna last too long doin the same thing.

That was scripted. It was in aid of a British charity called ';Comic Relief'. Posh'n'Becks knew exactly what they were signing up for.

I like the way he doesn't disrespec' the bitches! lol

All time classic moment has to be when he interviewed the feminist.

Ali G Do you think it's right if all girls try feminism at least once?
Feminist Yes, of course
Ali G But what if they get drunk at a party and try out feminism with a friend and regret it when they wake up?
