Bravo Archibravo ! Sacha Baron Cohen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: All I can say is I had tears coming out of my eyes and my abs got a great workout, haven't laughed that hard at anything on TV in a long time. Great silly fun without resorting to excessive sex or profanity (however I'd still give it an R rating)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boyashaka!
Review: Big up to you! Be checkin out my main man Ali G; the most bestest, for real, most wicked series to be on the telly, and it's going westside to DVD!

Finally! Da Ali G Show (huge in the UK) ran six episodes on HBO a while back, then disappeared. Sacha Baron Cohen's three characters-Ali G the "hip-hop journalist", Borat the Kazakhstani traveler & Bruno, the Austrian fashion reporter-deliver an uproarious crazy satire. This outrageous show really flew under the radar the first time around in the U.S.A. Such a brilliant parody, he's fooled the best: Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich and Buzz Aldrin to name a few.

I've even heard that this DVD coincides with a new season this summer.

So check it and recognize!

Summary: One of the funniest and raunchiest things I've seen!
Review: During a visit with a friend of mine, I was introduced to Ali-G, Bruno and Borat and have never laughed so hard! It amazes me how he can get himself into certain scenarios and social settings with little to no problem! Not to mention how stumped I am that there are people out there in the world who have a limited sense of humor! This guy is genius! Absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for the DVD to be released to show my friends!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally! A show where the main character is as smart as me!
Review: First off, a lot of you may not know this, but I am a very smart individual. I only enjoy movies, books, and music of the highest class. It's a rare occasion for me to find someone who's on the same intellectual level as I am, but my searching is over, because Ali G. is my man! Ali G. is a cool hip cat that knows all the right things to ask those boring political guys! These politicians walk in expecting a novice to ask them a few easy questions, but they are in for the shock of their lives when they finally hear what this genius has to say! By the end of their little discussion, these stupid politicians are left dumbfounded and embarassed!

But for those of you that aren't as fornunate to have the kind of knowledge that I possess, don't worry, you'll still probably like this show. I'm sure your feeble minds will be quite entertained by all the flashing colors.

In conclusion, everyone should purchase this product right away. Now's the time to get it, because I'm sure that this show won't see another season (a lot of politicians are too worried about the tough questions that Ali asks, so they are refusing to take part in this fine educational program). But if they do somehow come out with another season, they really need to have Limp Bizkit on the show! Fred Durst is just as smart as Ali G., so it'd be rather entertaining to see a discussion between the two!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious, For A While
Review: First up - Sascha Cohen is without question a genius. His wit and timing match up to the most famous of comics. The raw COURAGE required to get himself in some of these situations is truely commendable.

This is the 1st Season that Sascha did in USA, but it's more a season three than a season one as he had already done two seasons in UK. This DVD set is released in every other country as "Da Ali G Show - Ali G in Da USAiii"

Tech scrutiny aside - this is a must have DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smart Humor in a Stupid Candy Shell
Review: I was first introduced to the Ali G show when I attended University in England. I didn't know how to take it at first but the more I watched, the more I realized how incredibly brilliant the entire concept was. It is quite possibly the smartest yet entertaining and whitty show you will see on television. The dvd is going to be worth its weight in gold. I am still waiting for the full-length movie, "Ali G Indahouse," to be released in the states. If you haven't seen Ali G, just trust me and buy it. You WILL NOT regret it for a single second.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the funniest....
Review: I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Ali G during his American run on HBO last year by a friend of mine and I have to say that he is one of the funniest people in the business. He's not a stand-up comedian that somehow made the transition to his own show, he is a comedic actor, fully embracing each character he portrays and making each one funny in their own distinct way. Honestly, the time I've spent watching his show is probably the hardest i've laughed in a long time. Not only is Sacha perfect in each of his roles but whoever produces the show is a genius as well, placing the characters into awkward situations with hilarious consequences and somehow getting really famous people to be interviewed and then almost always embarassed by Ali.

To put it simply, this show utilizes every type of humor there is and does it very well, Sacha is extremely talented and funny and I promise you won't be disappointed if you give it a try.

(...).

Summary: I was very scared...
Review: I was very scared by this DVD. I am afraid of people who change personalities like this. It reminds me too much of the Democratic party here in the USA!

Yo, all kidding aside... This is some of the funniest sh** I've ever seen. For those of you who say that it lacks intelligence, you're obviously not well-versed in dramatic irony. This guy is a gifted comedian, and I would recommend it to anyone with an above average IQ, a relatively open mind and a healthy heart (the laughter might kill you otherwise). I'm also a huge fan of Curb your Enthusiasm - if that tells you anything. Peace out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: outstanding!
Review: Sascha Cohen is a comic genius. His three personas on "Da Ali G Show" combine side-splitting humor with penetrating insight into our peculiar culture. When he is in character as Borat, the phony "journalist" from the former Soviet Union, he is able to say things that fly in the face of what we consider acceptable and get away with it (mostly).

His is perhaps the best comedy available today.
