[OT] Da Ali G Show

Recommended Posts

there have been a few threads about Chappelle's show on here, I think it's gone downhill a bit but Ali G is my new favorite. If you haven't seen it, it's on HBO on Sunday nights, it's been in the UK for a few years but this is the second season in the U.S.

 

very, very dry. you'll either love it or hate it.

 

1 guy plays 3 different characters (either a rapper, khazakstani tv reporter or gay guy) and interviews people. His whole schtick is to act like a complete idiot, without the other people picking up on the fact that it's not real. He's interviewed newt gingrich, sam donaldson and lots of others.

 

Here is a clip that may or may not load for you - Watch the whole thing, the 2nd half is best

I agree. So far I liked last season a little better, but it is still funny. Da Ali G is on HBO at 10:30 PM on Sunday nights. That is must see TV at Chez Surf.

 

I also like:

 

Reno 911 (CC)

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Cartoon Network)

Sea Lab 2021 (Cartoon Network)

The Office (BBC)

Velvet Soup (BBC)

Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)

Simpsons (Fox)

 

Respek !

I've been watching that Show since it came on HBO...Some of the best LOL funny stuff I have ever seen. The best one last year was when the roving reporter (or tourist-I forget what he's supposed to be) Guy goes to a Dating Counselor. That is some SERIOUS funny stuff. Plus the one at the Minor League Baseball Park where he Sings his Country's National Anthem was too funny...

Sasha Baren Cohen (the guy behind Ali G) first surfaced over here a very long while back on some show called 'The 11 O'Clock show'. Ali G was an occasional skit where he would interview unsuspecting british political celebrities... ever since his first series in the UK where he was unknown he's been really shoddy IMO...

 

Flashes of brilliance now are interspersed in mediocrity... (FB AIIIIggght!)

Oh well I guess there had to be a reason it was on TV. I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and like the reality TV shows thought it was a total waste of air time and energy, but thta is what I love about the freedom to turn the damen set off or change the channel when I find something this stupid on the tube. For those that like it have fun. Myself I'd rather mow the grass or even do laundry than watch that show.
