5 out of 5 stars A Must Buy DVD    November 17, 2007
Corbet Griffith (Northwood, OH United States)
Da Ali G Show is a series created by the comedian Sacha Cohen, famous for the movie "Borat," which actually originated from this show. Sacha is able to disguise himself as 3 different characters, Ali G - the white gangster who interviews politicians, Bruno - the gay man who interviews everyday people, and Borat - the foreigner looking to learn about US customs. With this trio of characters Sacha is able to create an amazing TV show that is hilarious from beginning to end. Like the previous season, this DVD only has 6 episodes, but each one is hilarious. There are also quite a few bonus features which is great to watch. If you enjoy watching people get embarrassed and placed in awkward situations Da Ali G show is for you. Personally I find it to be one of the funniest TV shows within the last 10 years.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant and nervy improvisation    February 4, 2007

The success of the "Borat" movie has boosted the popularity of British comedian Sascha Baron Cohen in the United States. This series dates to the time when he had only a cult following, but his nerve and talent for improvisation is on full display. In order to conduct interviews of unsuspecting subjects, who think they are going to meet a serious journalist, he adopts the personas of Ali G, the confused white wannabe rapper with a flair for malapropisms, Borat, the journalist from Kazahkstan whose disarmingly friendly, ingratiating manner masks his anti-Semitism and hatred of women, and Bruno, the flaming Austrian fashion reporter who regularly and innocently makes assumptions about the sexuality of his subjects, leading to some uncomfortable encounters. These are all brilliant comic performances. He is always funny, even though he sometimes comes off as a bit of a bully when he is making fun of people who seem harmless. However, the show reveals its genius when he has an opportunity to skewer a worthy target, such as the celebrity makeover artist who freely speculates on Jesus Christ's potential as a male model and the members of a private Texas hunt club who are proud of killing endangered species and lament that they are not allowed to hunt Jews. It's a shame that there are only two short seasons of this show.


4 out of 5 stars Ali G...pure and raw    January 18, 2007

The creator of "Borat" the movie not only shows his early chops ,but, shows the zany character Borat in each segment.
Ali G is an English based more than over the top, street smart,society challenged hip hopper and never leaves the character while interviewing or interacting with unsuspecting members of "straight" society.
His third persona is that of a German interviewer and again is played to unsuspecting victims.
Although an acquired taste,once your "in" on the humor,it never stops...
