Da Ali G Show (2000–2004)
9/10
Skit comedy like you've never seen
13 February 2007
First I rented this, then I paid $20 to buy it. I rarely buy DVDs, that's how good it is. These episodes are skit comedy, and I'd rate them from 7 to 10. There's something for everyone. Ali G is a white British punk/rapper talk show host, and it's amazing to see how many people fall for the character (believing it to be a real talk show). The straight-guys, thinking they're on a talk show, try to humor Ali G, and the more they do that, the more outrageous he gets. If Ali G thinks he's losing them, he'll tone it down to reel them back in. Some of the guests are actually famous, and after the controversies that came from the Borat movie, I can guess how they got them to appear - they just lied. Each week there's an original Borat skit to sweeten the pot. Some of the Borat stuff was so good it was redone for the movie, it's a hoot to see the originals.
