Da Ali G show - unbelievable.

[wacki]

I'm suprised nobody has started a thread on this yet.

The man interviews famous people like Pat Buchanen, Senators, and Congressmen and gets them involved in the most ridiculous of situations. The best is that they are taking him seriously. It's amazing how far he can push it. I will never look at our politicians the same again.

Spoiler in white below:

<font color="white">
Tonight I saw a man host a fake TV show with several guests included 2 Congressmen. Ali G actually got them to argue on the validity of having pubic hair as the only requirement to vote. His view "If there is grass on the field, play ball!". Even more amazing, the Maryland Congressman thought it was a good idea.

He got the Chief of the LAPD to give him advice on how to get the heroin balloons in his gut unstuck.

He managed to get an entire bar full of cowboys to sing "Send the Jew down the well"</font>

Don't see the movie.

[Popinjay]

What's wrong with the movie? I thought it was hilarious.

[eurythmech]

Ali G was really funny the first season (or was it two?) before he shot that American special which was just awful.

[eurythmech]

Why not?
It´s even more eviler than Skeletor!

[jakethebake]

He's funny...for about five minutes.

Agreed. That is why I only used unbelievable as adjective.

In the last 2 years I have been working on a thesis, been a scientist in the Global Infectious Disease program, and had several other really cool jobs that tend to make it hard to get to a TV. So atleast I have some excuse for not having a normal social life.

Was this in American theaters? Or only in England?

Wow, that's the worst I've ever heard. I wonder what percentage of this forum actually believes in the "grass on the playing field" rule of thumb. After watching Ali G, I have a feeling there are a few Congressmen that would.

I just watched my first shows of this today, it is hilarious. The interviews must be staged though and the interviewees must be going along with his jokes, no?

[wacki]

I think it would be very hard to get Pat Buchanan and all those congressmen to agree to that kind of staged interview.

[theBruiser500]

Yeah that's what I was wondering. How could he get these congressmen and Pat Buchannan etc. to go onto his very crude show. Doens't make sense, but how could they be so stupid during the interview, doesn't make sense either.

[wacki]

HBO sells the idea of an interview/talkshow to them as a way to reach out to countless people. For elected officials free airtime is irresistible. Also, the element of suprise is a powerfull tactic. I think it would very difficult to get any official on his show now. He would have to change his looks/name if he wanted to regain the element of suprise.

i have heard read/bleed

[theBruiser500]

I still don't believe those people were for real. No way can they bet that stupid.

[sfer]

That would make the show decidedly unfunny.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the joke. They are such media whores that they will agree to do any tv show at all, without even a little research into the interviewer.

Tuco.

[theBruiser500]

my dad also says the interviews are not staged because a few people(donald trump) get pissed off and just leave in the middle of the interview

[BottlesOf]

If they were staged, this could be staged too.

[The once and future king]

Man what Ali G gets his guests to do is nothing compared to what Chris Moriss does in BrassEye.

If you get a chance to watch this state side make sure you do, its fuckinh hillarious.

yeah i'll be sure to check that out on CrumpetVision

[blackaces13]

I think its pretty obvious that the interviews are real. These are people who take themselves seriously, they aren't volunteering to be made to look like fools on HBO for some guy in a Tommy Wear sweat suit.

Well yeah, but you could be like Truman and this is really a made up universe created for your benefit, as the rest of the world watches you grow up and stuff.

Yeah, she DOES like you.

[jdl22]

You know what bugged me about the Truman show?

There is no way in hell he should have been able to figure out that he was in the bubble the way he did. He noticed "strange" things like a car circling the block several times. Given that that is the environment in which he's lived for his entire life that shouldn't be strange at all. That killed the movie for me.
