Was Ali G ever a thing in the USA?

Witty · 01-12-2018, 07:40 PM

I know you got Borat and Sasha Baron Cohen's other creations, but did you get Ali G?

Probably one the funniest characters in the history of comedy characters IMO

Witty · 01-12-2018, 07:45 PM

uh-oh · 01-12-2018, 07:51 PM

i think he was pretty big here

i just didn't know about it until after it was relevant, but passing mentions and knowing of the character without knowing the character make me think it was a thing here too.

borat is all i really got into from him though

ill nik-A · 01-12-2018, 07:53 PM

Yes. Borat!!! All the babies!

What’s up my vanilla face?!

Your memory of my drunk posting history is impressive.

Witty · 01-12-2018, 08:27 PM

Also when Borat was on a speed date and told a girl "If you cheat on me, I will crush you" was LOL

~RustyGunZ~ · 01-12-2018, 09:14 PM

Kind of

Sascha is super well known overall but Ali G wasn't super star stuff. I watched it all when I was like 14 it 15. Some friends knew it more didn't

Geno · 01-12-2018, 11:23 PM

Ali g was cool. But his other shit slayed me.

Geno · 01-12-2018, 11:25 PM

Borat was funny as fuck yo. Lmmfao. That movie makes me laughs harder everytime i watch it than the least time. Hes a funny fagit. Unlike witty. Hes just a fagit. Unextraordinary

Witty · 01-12-2018, 11:38 PM

Geno not liking me is probably the biggest boost to my self confidence I have ever had.

Geno · 01-13-2018, 04:45 AM

I will shit on ur wifes forehead, big ass balls
Leave her all shitfaced, watch the pink eye spawn

Witty · 01-13-2018, 05:51 AM

OK.

Ghost1 · 01-14-2018, 08:24 PM

I mean his show ran on HBO for years

So word yea pretty big

I didn't really follow it tho

ACTIVATE SELF · 01-14-2018, 08:57 PM

Who was the better troll, tom green or Sascha Baron?

Objective · 01-15-2018, 12:19 AM

I remember Ali G to be just as big or even bigger than Borat here in Norway, but that might be biased because it was one of the things we talked the most about for a longer period of time while Borat was dope af for a month. His interviews just came at a perfect time as Jackass, The Dudesons and South Park were doing their thing.

@ACTIVATE SELF: Idk, I feel it's a tie between them tbh. As far as it goes to the biggest troll of this time period I got to hand it to the extremely offensive Wonder Showzen for trolling everyone including its viewers.

Sasha was on his grind for years though even before the Ali G character really took off... I remember watching The 11 O Clock Show and he used to have a small slot on there, maybe just 5-10 mins long, then he eventually got his own shows and movies etc and did it big.

I think Lee Nelson owes a lot to Ali G as well, similar character and all when you've seen enough of them both but not really that noticeable at first I don't think? Now I've mentioned it though you'll be looking for it lol

Nah i noticed that with nelson. When Ali G interviews the animal rights activists where he catches the guy out, he offers an ultimatum if I recall, eat a McChicken Nugget or I kill another Chicken..that was classic.

Enbombz · 01-15-2018, 12:25 PM

Ali g was class, it's still funny now. It was trolling before trolling was really a thing. The people he chose to interview were great as well.
