Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review By the time Ali G--the inspired creation of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen who debuted on the lame satirical series IThe 11 O'Clock Show/I--first got his own series, the gangsta rapper from Berkshire was already one of the biggest things on TV. IAli G--Aiiii/I is a compilation of the best bits from his own series, IDa Ali G Show/I. Part chat show (Paul Daniels makes a memorably awful appearance; Gail Porter turns up and Ali dims the house lights and gets all soppy), and part saucy variety show (Ali's duet with Jarvis Cocker is fun, but no-where near as good as his improvised rap with Mohammed Al Fayed "from Arrods"), the material here is richer and more varied than his I11 O'Clock/I appearances, which more or less depended on his interviewees not knowing he was stitching them up. At various points, Ali reports from the States--the Staines rapper's spiritual home, you suspect--and the bemused reactions of the unsuspecting people he meets there makes for some of the video's funniest moments ("Has anyone ever been killed by a gun?" he asks someone from the National Rifle Association).pIAli G--Aiii/I also features Cohen's newest character Borat, a reporter from Kazakhstani television who is producing a guide to Britain for his viewers back home. Amazingly, Cohen ran into trouble with the Kazakhstani embassy in Britain over his portrait of the bumbling reporter with only the faintest grasp of English, but in fact it's the Brits he interviews who patronise Borat who come off a lot worse. (See, for example, the embarrassed silence which greets Borat's attempt at introductory small talk at a society dinner party: "My wife, she is dead"!) Like the rest of the show, there is a smart satiric edge to the comedy but it's also very, very funny. Ali introduces the compilation, keepin' it real with a promise that profits from the sale of the video will be channelled back into the Staines ghetto. --IEdward Lawrenson/I

October 7, 2003 taters (york, England) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Ali's rise from a slot on the 11 o'clock show rapidly changed when he got his own show. The variety of the character of Ali G became more diverse. In stayed the interviews (of course) and joining them came musical duets (jarvis cocker, mohammed al fayed), focus groups (featuring hilarious debates on politics, animals etc) and the new character Borat. pInterviews are definately Ali's strong point and is emphasised by questions to Gail Porter such as 'me heard you got a HND.....have you been to the clinic to check it out?'. This preceedes Ali singing 'every breath you take' into Gail's eyes (unmissable comedy!). pThe new bits are fantastic too, Ali shows concern for children getting into drugs "the most worrying thing about drugs is that it actually makes you like house music!" This follows his respect for animals and ideas for future politics ; "do you think in five years animals will be able to vote?" pThe video is a fine collection of the Da Ali G show and has a few extra bits that werent shown on tv. All in all definately worth getting , especially if you like his previous video 'innit'! Beast... December 27, 2000 4 out of 5 found this review helpful This has to be the funniest set of interviews ever made; famous guests like Gail Porter, Mihammed Al Fayed and even Paul Daniels all receive the Ali experience and let's face it it's hilarious! The intelligence of Sacha Cohen Baron in his portrayal of Ali G is quite frankly superb. This DVD is jam-packed with extras not seen in the video version and little touches which bring Ali G in da house. But what makes this DVD da beast is not simply Ali G - we have Borat and Ali's latest creation: a German gay icon! If you've seen Ali G on TV and liked it get this DVD. If you haven't get this DVD. Even if you know everything about Ali G this will teach you new things. Even if you know nothing about Ali G this will teach you everything. Get this and get Da phattest flavas from da Ali G show and unseen stuff dat dey tried to ban. - Aiii. Excellent January 23, 2001 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Well, dis vid is absolutely brilliant. The more I watch Borat and the out-of-studio interviews, the more I like it. Very rarely will you get a sequel that matches the high standards of it's predecessor, in this case it does.A big thumbs up entertainment at it's very best February 17, 2001 hartig@asiaonline.net (Hong Kong) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful recieved the video as a Xms gift, have shared it with countless friends, really roll on the floor comedy. We have watched it countless times !~ each time it's funnier than before. Ali G - Innit the best thing to come from Staines November 11, 2000 If you liked his first video and like me thought that his first Channel 4 series was even better, then this video is a must buy for any Ali G fan. Packed with the best bits from the Ali G show including the Gail Porter Interview and the amazing rapping owner of Harrods - they call him Mohammed, Al Fayed - it really is a must buy. If you don't buy it he'll send Dave round!!! - Boyakasha! Showing reviews 1-5 of 18 1 2 3 4 Next »
