    He’s an incredibly smart guy (Cambridge Uni) pretending to be stupid, which lulls guests into a false comfort zone, then he unloads a killer, often existential question, again phrased as if the daft lad. It’s kinda what he did with Borat and others, but when this lot was filmed nobody knew who he was. Genius.

    • @CW-ke8rk
      @CW-ke8rk Před rokem

      For real. As Borat, he pretends to be racist, that hates the Jews(even though Sacha is Jewish) and tricks these people. Makes their true racist selves raise to the surface to come out. As Bruno he goes to southern states and kisses another man. Their h phobic selves come out. Genius indeed.

    I fucking love Sacha, the bloke is extremely intelligent. He went to Christ's College which is a college of the University of Cambridge, one of the best in the world. He's incredibly talented, you should definitely watch other stuff of his. I remember watching these with my brother back in early 2000, we laughed up lungs then and I still do now. They never get old.

    Sacha (as Ali G) was a regular on The 11 O’Clock Show in the late 90s. A very young Ricky Gervais also got his break on that show.
    Because no one knew who Ali G was, he was getting interviews with UK politicians, academics and celebrities who all took themselves way too seriously and didn’t get the joke. He then had his own show called Da Ali G Show (also featuring an early Borat) which you might be able to find clips for. He caught the attention of Madonna and was in her video for “Music”. And the rest is history. Great reaction - I haven’t seen some of those clips in a long time 😊

    The funny thing is, his character is from Staines which is a fairly middle class area, to which he refers as the ghetto. A typical posh white youth identifying as a black South London street kid.

    Ali G was his breakthrough character on British tv. He became more or less an overnight sensation. He was everywhere for few years. He had to take the character to America because all the British politicians, scientists, academics and experts knew who he was... :) Bruno was his next big character, before Borat.

Considering the last time he said that, not to long ago, there were loads of us in the comments explaining the 2 are nowhere near similar. Council estates are just areas where normal homes (made with brick & mortar) are for rent from a local council. What we call trailer parks, are caravan parks. The biggest majority of Brits live in council estates, we don't live in trailers.

    Sacha Baron Cohen is a pure genius, how he's able to keep a straight face is beyond me.

    their are trailer parks in the UK too, council estates would be more equivalent to low cost housing areas.
    I will say when I think of American trailer parks its always a negative mental picture, your media does not picture them as good places, fun sometimes (my name is earl) but never good.
    im gonna go research im sure some trailer parks are great

    I met him dressed as Ali G at a caravan convention in London once. One of my favourite characters since I was a kid.
    You should watch the movie! 👍👍

    Ali G visits a farm is soooo funny. When he leaves, the farmer is left shaking his head and muttering to himself

    Guys you have to!! Watch Ali G In Da House. It's his film and till today it's one of the funniest, if not the funniest films I've ever watched. I never got into Borat coz I missed him as Ali G so much

    Ali G was introduced as the "official Channel 4 voice for youth", so he was taking a swipe at ignorant youth, but also those in programming that desperately put any old (or rather young) shit in front of the camera to try and pander to that demographic. The vast majority of his guests are really rather polite, humouring what they assume is a totally naïve newcomer.

    • @paulmidsussex3409

      As well as poking fun at youth spokespeople and program commissioners I think he drew heavily on the voice and mannerisms of Tim Westwood - a white, English, very middleclass, hip hop DJ who adopted a very US, black, working class / underclass hip hop image when he was DJing and broadcasting.

    I remember it well. It was autumn/early winter of 1998 when Ali G forst hit UK TV screens as part of The 11 O'Clock show. It was SBC's first character - way before Borat and all the others. He was an instant smash sensation. An assassin. He's a super intelligent guy playing a super dumb guy with not one single fuck given. All ad lib and thinking 'on his feet'. True comedy genius. Would have us open mouthed before screaming and then crying with laughter. Peeps would get too offended these days, more's the pity.

    I think you guys should check out Sacha Baron Cohen's series Who Is America? because that upset a LOT of people in high standing in America - mainly politicians, the NRA, and many, many more!
    If you like this kind of stuff my dudes, I would recommend checking out one of the most controversial comedies of the 90s, and probably of all time.... Brass Eye. You won't find anything else quite like that!

    You need to react to him interviewing David and Victoria Beckham LOL Sasha started on the 11 ‘0 clock Show in the 90’s. Ali G character was based on typical white boys... who were/acted “street” in certain areas, the place Staines, where the character’s supposed to be from (in Greater London, usually not from the inner cities) was one of these towns. They acted a little bit gangster (but they weren’t) into tracksuits and gold chains, into drum n bass/jungle music. Who enjoyed smoking weed and usually drove Ford escorts suped up with big bass speakers, in their car (vibrating with bass as they drove past) Back in the 90’s I believe Sasha called them white boys acting Black but that might not be very PC to say that now lol. Nobody cared about that back in the day, everyone despite their colour thought the character was hilarious. I’m sure everyone who was into the early to late 90’s rave culture met an Ali G 😂 I met many, ESPECIALLY from Staines lmao... It was perfect timing, for this character!
