The great thing about this is that is shows how we as Americans view people of other cultures and countries. Ingenious, silly and very very entertaining!

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite TV Shows ever    November 5, 2007
J. North (Detroit, MI)
I got hooked on Ali G when it was on HBO and bought the DVD's to make sure I didn't miss an episode. It is one of my favorite TV shows ever, right up there with The Office (british version)and Arrested Development. If you like the Borat movie, you will love the HBO shows - they are miles ahead of the movie.

I'm a late arriver to the Ali G phenomenon but I had to check out the DVDs here based on how much I loved the film Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rowan Atkinson in terms of comic brilliance. The simple fact is that the least interesting character of the three he does is Ali G. A little bit of him goes a long away, but he's absolutely wonderful in many of these interviews such as the ones with Ghali, Baker, Coop, and Aldrin. The white pseudo-gangsta is an interesting concept, and the fact that he's British confuses many an interviewee. That the likes of Newt Gingrich are so accepting of him speaks volumes of our cultural decline. Based on past experience, they are not surprised to discover that the journalist in front of them happens to be a yo-yo. They probably find him non-remarkable. I love Borat's contribution to this series (as does everybody else I'm sure). His Guide to the USA is every bit as good as the material in the movie itself. There's even a rodeo segment here; although honestly, I found Bruno to have the best shtick of them all. The guy is hysterical and I am looking forward to seeing Cohen's movie--that will be soon be released--about him. Bruno is a gag a minute and a major improvement on Dieter from SNL. Oh, he won't be loved by gay activists but that's another reason why we should cherish him. All of the skits here possess varying degrees of political incorrectness and that's why they're so welcome and excellent. This one would be great to own.


5 out of 5 stars A must have for Ali-G, Borat and Bruno fans!    February 4, 2007

The season 1 and 2 is something you must have if you are a true fan of Sacha. The two seasons have the original HBO episodes of the Ali-G Show which include episodes of Borat and Bruno. It is extremely funny and once you start watching it, you cannot stop. Recommended for Ali-G and Borat fans no doubt. Each season comes with 2 CDs which hold 3 episodes each, I think. Again very funny and something I would recommend.
