    has anyone seen this show on tv? been watching it on hbo-on-demand and its funniest thing ever. he's a british comedian who uses several characters to "interview" unsuspecting people in crazy ways. i also saw his commencement address to harvard undergrads this spring and was also very funny. can see it on harvard.edu.

    I've seen a bunch of the skits and I thought they were great! I love the one where he travels to Whales to see what makes the Welsh tick. Just the opening line makes me laugh:

    "When you hear da word Whales, you normally fink of da fish wit da biggest
    **** in da ocean."

    Ali G is a hilarious guy. He was in a movie a couple of years ago with Madona too. This is a picture of him. That is his usual dress code.

    i saw him for the first time Madonna's 'Music' video... Even then he was funny... He cracks me up; i wasn't able to watch last night's season opener, but they had him on the tube on Saturday night for a little while; funny stuff... Speaking of HBO and the time vicinity in which Ali G.'s show appeared, did anyone catch Def Poets last night...? They replayed it a few hours later and i was able to catch about half of it after i got home... i'm looking forward to the rest of the season...

    My favorite is when he had a sit down with Donald Trump. Trump felt he was wasting his time and walked out of the meeting after only 15 seconds. The Donald rocks!

    Ever see the episode when he does "Borat Explains America" on going to a gun range? That was filmed at DFW Gun Club, which I used to co-own with Ken Goldberg, who was the fellow "Borat" was interviewing.

    Truly hilarious stuff. Too bad Ken still can't shoot worth a *****. Heck, he didn't even know that the safety was on the MP5.

    Ken sold out 2 years ago, after he bought me out...

    One of my favorite shows that are out now. He is having alot of problems because of the song he did on episode 11. He sang a song called "throw the Jew down the well"


    ie:
    Throw the jew down the well, so my country can be free
    you must grab him by the horns, and we have a big party.

    He being Jewish hmself he thought it would be ok.

    Anyway he is really funny.

    FYI- He is an Oxford graduate!!

    The best show was in season one where he did the police training and he ran into the house shooting everyone. Then he started to yell at the old woman for her purse being stolen.

    Sarcasim is a sign of intelligence i think, thant being said he is one smart A$$ SOB

    That was funny - but I think people miss the point. The point wasn't that he was making fun of Jews, it was that he was in some podunk redneck dive bar and playing "Barat" from Uzbekistan (or whatever) and when he started singing about "Throw the Jew down the well - so my country can be free" everyone started getting into it and cheering along with him.

    The humor is the illustration of the racism of those people that they were so willing to go along with it, not that Ali was being racist by singing it. It's in the same vein as much of Howard Stern's comedy.

    Anyone that can make James Lipton rap is a pure genius!

    He's quite amazing how long he can keep people going. All three of his characters are classic and well done.

    Ali G rocks, been watching since the first and have the first season on dvd? Read a great article about him in Vanity Fair, the one with the Reagans on the cover. All Ali G fans should read it, he's an interesting fellow with a rapier wit.

    Kinda like anti-Bush comments, antisemitism still is pretty taboo.

    Actually, he graduated from Cambridge. I don't know why he would face so much heat from episode 11. Everyone should just think of him as the Jewish version of Dave Chappelle.

    Ali G Goes Ivy League

    2004 Harvard University Commencement Speech

    "Booyakasha - Professor G indahouse aiii. Big shout out de Harvard massiv [THROW UP 'H'] I iz done a capital 'H', coz Harvard iz a place innit - u see I ain't no ignoranus. Things like 'apple' and 'orange' do not start with a capital letter, unless dey iz at de start of a sentence - but some of you brainboxes probably know dat already innit. Me name be Ali G and me represent de UK [DO SIGNS]. For those of u who didn't study geography de UK is a place over a 100 MILES away from here, de capital of it is? Anyone? Not u geography square! ....yes, it is Liverpool. U iz clever and quite fly if u don't mind me sayin. First of all, I iz got to say I iz a bit nervous speakin to so many of you - at least me would be if I weren't totally mashed. Normally de only public-speaking I does is to 12 people - and it's well easy all me has to say iz me name and de words 'not guilty'.

    Checkit, me agreed to speak here today coz me wanted to talk to de brightest minds of our generation, to see what makes Harvard de most special university in de world, and also coz dey agreed to pay for me flight over here and hotel room. Sorry to bring dis up now, but when u iz told dat your hotel bill is bein paid for, u naturally assume dat dat includes essential extras like breakfast AND special interest pay-per-view movies. Imagine my surprise den dis morning, when I was given a bill for $164. Me was actually tryin to SAVE Harvard money by buying the 24-hour 'slutfest' packages at $19.99, rather dan paying for individual films at $11.99 each. Which would have cost u - [go thru them] Young and Tight....Backdoor Burglar 2......Backdoor Burglar 3.....Campus Confessions....Asian Fever...Shaven Buffet [get lost] twice dat one... Cold Mountain - dat was a mistake, Backdoor Burglar 4 ....almost 490 bucks. I mean come on, some of it was even research for dis, I iz sure one of de cheerleaders in 'Ivy League Amateurs' was wearin a Harvard sweatshirt.....infact...[TAKE OFF GLASSES] allo darlin, respek - I expect u need a cushion to sit on, aiii.

    Anyways I digest. It iz a well big honour to be arksed ere today. To fink dat so many great people has been educated ere like Lyndon Banes Johnson, or as he is better known - JFK, George Clinton was also ere I fink , and de one before him, and also...William Tell - is he one of your lot, probably, and dat bloke wiv de hat, but most importantly dat really fit honey from Star Wars - if u iz out dere, me'd love to - me iz stayin at de Best Western Hotel - me's got a really nice room, altho since dis morning dem has put a parental lock on de tv.

    As I stand here today lookin at all of you, on this, your first day of university - I fink of all de fings me can offer you - wisdom, experience but most importantly of all 22 ounces of de finest Morrocan chronic. Well, Dat iz if de Ex-Lax works - to be honest I usually go at 11 in de morning - but nothing dere - infact me'd appreciate it if one medical students here wouldn't mind takin a look. Don't worry it's clean as a whistle, u could eat your lunch of it - infact meJulie has. [TAKE OFF GLASSES] I know u don't mind dat kind of fing does u.

    Hearmenow, u iz de most cleverest students in America - some of u iz probably brilliant at counting - ye know...1,2,3...4.... I could continue...easy. Others of u will be brilliant at English - have memorised de whole alphabet 'a to x' and even be able to spell words like 'hippototamus'.

    I iz also well clever - me was so brainy dat me finished me education 6 years before any of u - at de age of 15 - de teachers had to admit dat dere was nothing else dat dem could teach me. U students has come from every corner of de US from de rainforests of Arizona to de deserts of Alaska. Some of you iz probably never even seen a black man before.......allo

    Dere is all types of people ere, and it's fantastic to see dat Harvard has finally let in so many women. A lot of u iz probably feminists or as we call dem in England 'lezzas'. I agree wiv u, dat u gotta treat women wiv respec - its de least dat *****es deserve.

    Relationships should be brought into dis -de 20th centrury - u women out dere shouldn't have to do de cookin and de cleanin when u come home from work - u should do it before u leave in de morning.

    But more importantly it's wikid dat in Harvard young women and men gets to learn so many amazing subjects.

    Some of u here will have been studying medicine...dat knowledge come wiv a lot of responsibilities. Remember, doctors is some of de most powerfulest people in de world - u can give life, u can cure disease and u can ask to see a woman's [whistle] wivout getting slapped.

    For those of u studying history, u probably learnt a lot about de Presidents. Like who was Jefferson, and what did Lincoln give America - apart from de town car.

    Some of u iz de best legal students in de country. U would know wivout even thinking, how to get someone off a charge of possession. And if any of u do, then can me remind u - Room 204 at the Best Western. Just do me a favour put your ear to de door, and don't come in if u hears me shouting 'Natalie, play wiv me light saber'.

    Let's talk about de finances of all dat k-nowledge dat's been dropped on u. It costs $38000 a year to go to Harvard. Now I don't know how u lot has earnt dat - [TO PORN STAR] apart from u - and u iz earnt every penny, but most of u iz got dat cash from your parents.

    All you fathers out dere u iz made choices - wiv dat money u could have bought top of de range Lexus but instead u chose to invest in ya kids future. IZ U MENTAL? If u iz got other kids me hopes u don't make de same mistake again innit. Does u realise how many honeys u can get wiv a Lex. 'allo sweetness my son's got a Harvard degree' [FEMALE VOICE] 'wot, who cares'

    Or [CAR NOISE, WINDOW DOWN, ELBOW OUT] allo darlin, wanna check out de dvd player in de back aiii.' [her] 'wot's dat?' [me] 'it's ostrich leather' [MIME BLOWJOB]. So students give it up for your parents.

    Let's talk bout de future - your future. A lot of you iz probably worried bout employment. Unfortunately most of u WILL end up gettin jobs - especially now u iz got de burden of a degree.

    You iz de elite, u will be tomorrow's captains of industry. Sittin infront of me is probly da next Bill Gates, Donald Trump...or even Ronald Mcdonald. And even if you can't all be Ronald himself, most of you iz probably McDonald's Team Leader material. By da way, if any of u ever gets to do business wiv Sir Ronald, a word of hadvice - don't mention de size of his feet....him iz well sensitive about it. Me mate Dave hactually met him, and he said dat even tho him may seem like he's always smiling, dere's a sadness in de eyes...coz of dem feet. All de money in de world - and science still can't do nothing. Maybe dat's something dat some of u M.I.T. nerds can fink about innit.

    You lot will become powerful people who can change de future - and you need to, coz de world at de moment iz totally f-blank-blank-blank-ucked. Yeknow de word - I been told I ain't allowed to say it - u know [MIME ****ING] - u know de rude word. U know [MIME FINGER SEX]. [TO PORN STAR] U definitely know...wiv de whole team.

    Anyhow, u iz gotta fink bout de problems in de world coz u iz gotta sort dem out innit. Look at da envirolment - global warming is so bad, dey say in 100 years time, all de rainforests will be gone and all de ice caps will have melted. Actually, 100 years time, we ain't gonna be around den, so don't need to worry about dat one.

    But dere is other fings - look at de state of family today - girls is havin sex at younger ages, dere's an increase in absentee fathers and more and more people is havin affairs - but we shouldn't just concentrate on de good fings. Believing in something is easy. Actually doing something is harder. Actions speak louder dan birds.

    U has all got de potential to become great americans. And remember America is de greatest country in de whole world ...apart from Jamaica...and Holland.. oh yeah and Thailand coz u got dose girls who do all de ye know [pop sound] and probly some others - but u iz definitely in de top 20. ?U people iz de future, u has de chance to change de world, to hactually improve de life of de poor, OR U could goto Wall Street and earn millionz - get plasma screen, chinchilla coat, a series of relationships wiv gold-digging hoes happy to de de most disgusting sexual favours for some bling. Don't waste de opportunity dat g-d has given you - see u in Wall Street.

    Let's rap dis up now, coz I fink me feels somethin movin down below. So, what iz I hopin to take away wiv me from dis time in Harvard? - new friends, different ways of finking about de world, and as many laptops as me mate Dave has managed to nick from your dorms, while u has been sitting ere listening to me stalling.

    But I has got ideals too. Just like de great civil rights leader Martin Luther...Van Dross, I has a dream...of little black girls and little white girls...playin wiv each other. Let's make it happen I look out and I see 1000s of people wiv different hopes and different dreams - but it is important never to forget where u all came from - becoz black, white, brown or pakistani we all come from de same place - de punani. Jah bless - bigupyaself Princeton...and keep it real... wesside."
