BooYaKasha! Ali G is Back

Yo check it... I caught a few episode of Da Ali G show last season on HBO, but now I'm getting every one on the ole' TiVo. If you're not aware, Ali G is actually a brit named Sacha Baron Cohen and his show is the funniest shit I've seen lately.

On the show he plays three different characters who go out and interview unsuspecting folks. The interviewees don't know it's an act try their best to be proper in the interview. My favorite is Ali G, but the others kill too.

Somehow he gets interviews with really prominent folks like James Baker, Donald Trump, Boutrous Boutrous Gali, Sam Donaldson, Ralph Nader and C. Everett Koop. In the interviews he appears ridiculously stupid- asking stupid questions and putting these poor people in really awkward positions. It's super low-brow, but brilliant at the same time.

"So, what do you fink da punishment should be for suicide bombers?"

Apparently an upcoming episode shows him giving the commencement speech at Harvard (transcript). He has a glossary of his dialect too.

Looking forward to the next episodes...
