Re: [Link thread] Ali G
I would be really really disappointed * if the government of Kazakstatinaski sent suicide ninja assasins to bumped off Ali G. What a setback for British Comedy ** it would be.
* Totally and utterly uninterested.
** Improvement

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
This article is a complete fraud. Mr Cohen does not win any laughs for this act and they know it.

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
There seems to be a lot of hate/apathy for Sacha Baron Cohen here. Which is a shame, as I think he's very very funny.

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
Is that S|K sticking up for a comedian portraying a Racist stereotype?

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
My maths teacher's claim to fame was having gone to uni with him. Or something, he was a pretty dull guy so we might have collectively made that up to make him more interesting.

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
Borat is hillarious at times but i can't watch Ali G or Bruno the gay fashion bloke.

If he went to Christ's College, Cambridge, some time last decade, then there we go!

I've given up drugs for a few days, I may as well give up being cool as well.
Regardless, SBC is still funny. I'm working on the assumption that the more I repeat it the more likely you are to have a comedy epiphany* and agree with me.
*I mean a sudden realisation that he actually is funny, not some huge "eureka" moment about the nature of comedy. Although that would be fantastic.

The fact that you can't tell the difference between my comments and your own is very disturbing.

Re: [Link thread] Ali G
Ali G was very funny, less so the longer it continued.
I've never really liked Borat or any of his other characters.
