Ali G Season 2 is out on DVD. I love me some Ali G.

Post why you love him, why you hate him, or that you don't have any idea what I'm talking about. Flame wars are welcome.

I've heard of him, and know what he looks like, but other then that, I'm clueless.

You speak the eye-gouging, IQ-sapping truth.

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

He's funny because there are people like that.

His Ali G character is ok but Borat is just pure comedy genius.

I love him. He's so damn funny. It's scary that I know someone who's almost exactly like that minus the humourus intent.

I've never really been a huge fan of his work here in the UK, but I still find him funny, but I won't personally go out of my way to watch one of his shows.

The English shows with the studio audience were more amusing than the American series. That said, Borat is hilarious and probably the best thing about any series.

Ali G is genius. One of his best characters is Bruno (Funkyzeit!), the gay austrian TV show host.

I was cracking up when he went to a beach in California to meet some wrestlers. First, he pisses them off by wrestling with them and touching their asses at the same time, and then he lets them do a P-A-R-T-Y yell. But, everyytime they do it, he says they should do it with a little more energy. So, after like 6 times, these wrestling dudes are like totally enraged, jumping off their beach caravan, running around screaming like Gorillas or something. So he's got them all worked up, and then he asks one of them to say something to the camera for Austria Gay TV... rofl !! That guys is so pissed off he breaks his microphone in two!

The best one though, is where Borat goes to taste some wines... anyone seen that episode?

By the way:

Quote:

British comedian Ali G, (Sasha Baron Cohen), is reported to have narrowly escaped causing a near-riot at a rodeo in Virginia over the weekend, while filming a new episode of HBO's hilarious "Da Ali G Show." According to witnesses, a man who introduced himself as Borat from Kazakhstan, (one of Cohen. alter egos), appeared at the rodeo on Sunday after organizers agreed to have him sing the national anthem.

After telling the crowd he supported America's war on terrorism, he declared, "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq down to the lizards. And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq." He then sang a garbled version of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Witnesses reported that the crowd turned "downright nasty." "If he had been out there a minute longer, I think somebody would have shot him.", one observer told reporters.

Both Cohen and his film crew were told to leave the premises and promptly escorted out of the Salem Civic Center building. "Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," rodeo producer Bobby Rowe told reporters.

Cowen's Borat character also courted controversy last year when he sang a seemingly anti-Semitic song called "Throw the Jew Down the Well" at an Arizona country music bar, prompting protests from the U.S-based Anti-Defamation League.

Since the League consists primarily of American's they of course, failed to notice that the entire sketch was satirical in nature and elected instead, to take it at face value. If they had bothered to research the matter at all, they would have discovered that Mr Cowen is, in fact, himself jewish. (He just happens to be one with an advanced sense of humor!)

I think he's kinda funny, despite being a rapping kinda dude, and being terribly rude

I did actually quite like him when he was on the 11 O'clock show, but the moment he got his own, it became old.
