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.

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.

Daft lad, dad left a lift ad. I read wrong.

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

I'll recommend it AGAIN just as a reminder Ali G "vets versus veterinarians", AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" 😁😁😁

P.S. if you want to do more Ali G, you *HAVE* to do his interview with David + Victoria Beckham, the whole thing is comedy gold!

One of the best interviews he done was with the Beckham's. My personal favourite also.

What you've got to know and realise is that Sasha Baron Cohan is playing a character when he's Ali G,he PLAYS dumb to relax his interviewee and makes them THINK he's stupid.

Daniel is spot on, Sacha Baron Cohen is probably smarter than every one of the people he interviewed but they are to full of self importance that they can't realise that they are being pranked. The guy is a genius, it can't be easy to keep a straight face when everyone else get's the joke except the interviewee.

Ali and the Beckham's a total must.

I think his genius lies in keeping a straight face when he’s doing these interviews! There’s no way I could! Check out his full interviews and another character he plays called Bruno.

Oh god I’d forgotten how funny Ali G was, and the fact the interviewees all thought he was a real person just made it so much funnier.

The full Drugs segment is hilarious as the expert gradually gets frustrated with Ali G and suddenly snaps. You really need to watch that in full

Bear in mind when you watch the police training that when he talks to the people lay on the floor who got "jumped", theyre supposed to be actors as they are part of the training course. Some people mistake this and think the bad acting means the show is staged.

I like how Daniel said "yeah, mate" completely naturally. Edit: Also I'm so glad he owned Kent Hovind. What a spectacular idiot Hovind is.

he used to host his tv shows acting as Ali G, Borat, Bruno etc before the movies!

Ali G interviewing an orange order guy in Northern Ireland is top notch. His reaction to the guys pope joke is an all time classic

One of Sachas later characters was Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion model, this character pushes the boundary to the extreme to the point where his life is in danger, you should definitely react to Bruno clips, I'd like to recommend "Bruno in the middle east" or "Bruno goes camping"

Ricky Gervais got his first TV break on the same show as Ali G - The 11 O’clock show. This had me howling! Keep up the great work guy’s!

He is probably one of the greatest comedy geniuses of this centurary. You might be surprised by the number of well known hollywood stars who were in the Ali G show like Martin Freeman.

Another fave memory was when he interviewed a police officer who brought with him a selection of weapons seized from crimes....basically "what you aren't allowed" moment...he grabbed the weapons and asked how the best way was to use them haha the officer looked so worried and uncomfortable it was brilliant!

Hilarious, great to see him again - now for more on youtube!

For 2 lads who supposedly read the comments, I don't know why Spencer still thinks Council estates are the equivalent of trailer parks? 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.

Ali G, the ultimate troll. When we were teenagers we were all doing Ali G impressions.

You guys are funny. You make watching Ali G even more entertaining

I had forgotten the " youth in Asia" comment. Brilliant

His early characters were all journos. Ali G was presented to his dupes as a youth culture journo, Bruno as a fashion journo, etc.

The dictator - nuclear Nadal scene 😁👍

Haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂

He is so funny at everything he puts his mind too. Bliddy love him. Please put more of him on 😂

So I'd like to think my fellow die hard Ali G fans would suggest "Ali G Tree protest" one of his first! BOOYAH!

You guys have made me laugh so hard with the Ali G shows. His earlier interviews were in the UK before heading over to America where he wasn't known as much. You two should check out Ali G interviewing Posh & Beckham. It's for compic relief and it will definitely put you in stitches. So much so, I'm going to search and watch it again.

That was a trip down memory lane lol, and a good laugh. If you can find full episodes it it worth it. I also HIGHLY recommend you check out a programme called Brass Eye. Similar era, absolutely fucking genius

Remember watching these in Scotland waaay back and it was groundbreaking man 😂. Was also around the time I remember seeing Ricky Gervais just starting out in comedy on tv. Good times man.

The full video of Ali G trying to get a publisher for his book brilliant

That was a great reaction fellas! Brought back great memories, laughed my arse off! Ali G asking why the coal miners were all bruvvers was a top episode too, as was the Posh and Becks one!

It's the deliberate misunderstanding or the getting people in power to look stupid by their trying to be trendy is his genius, some of his speeches as himself are very powerful

Little Bill Hicks 'egg' reference... nice.

Brothers, I WAS CRY LAUGHING WITH YOU LOL!!!!

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.

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.

My mate used to live in Staines when Ali G came on the scene, the effort that went into the characters back story is amazing.

Man, I came here from doing Father Ted with you guys, I remember Ali G first being on TV and I've seen the sketches a hundred times. And even so, the second he opens with "what about the lap dancers" I lost my shit completely. Ali G is superb and Sasha Cohen is a legend.

Ali G - Vets vs. Veterinarians. One of his best

ali g is such an old character and the ali G movie and show i think is also older than Bo selecta which i think was in or around 2002. The ali G movie is really good too. there's also shows like rita sue and bob too and kevin and perry go large you'll love.

Love the vids 😄 I would recommend just watching all the full clips like: science, drugs, religion etc.

Guys we need the full episodes of the Ali G Show. Not seen any reaction channel react to full episodes so far and even if only on Patreon it would make an epic choice aside from the standard Gervais and Pilkington content (which I love btw). Pretty sure I have the DVD's somewhere if you are struggling, and would be happy to send them over Speaking of Ricky Gervais, please react to Extras and the UK Office too

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.
