Note: NSFW. Video is short and kinda neat. But not MeFi neat. Avoid if you dont have any time. posted by wheelieman at 6:58 PM on November 10, 2005
When this aired, on TV, LAST YEAR, it was somewhat funny. posted by kosem at 6:59 PM on November 10, 2005
We can't all afford HBO kosem. I rely on the internet for such hilarity. That said, I think Ali G is hilarious. posted by banished at 7:08 PM on November 10, 2005
Idea? 5 points.
Execution? -10 points. posted by graventy at 7:08 PM on November 10, 2005

Well, I guess it wasn't... a terrible post... posted by odinsdream at 7:12 PM on November 10, 2005
I kind of liked it for 10 seconds or so and then it was over. Is there a longer clip? posted by caddis at 7:12 PM on November 10, 2005
I think this link is pretty clear to what it leads to. So if you saw it and didn't like it, I'm not sure why you clicked on it. I on the otherhand, haven't seen it till recently (dont have HBO) and thought some others might enjoy it. posted by elemenopee at 7:15 PM on November 10, 2005
NSFW? What the hell? posted by xmutex at 7:24 PM on November 10, 2005
whoops sorry was'nt really clear. If you saw it, (HBO, tv, internet) and didn't like it, then I'm not sure why you would click on it. posted by elemenopee at 7:25 PM on November 10, 2005
Hey, I LOVE Ali G (and only got HBO recently, btw). Just didn't think this is the place to link to a 10 second clip of a year old television program.
Hell, and here I thought Ali G had been killed in I-rack. posted by R. Mutt at 7:41 PM on November 10, 2005
Great point, elemenopee. I was sort of wondering the same thing about the fire&wings comment in the Betraying Jesus thread yesterday. I didn't know that the rule of the internet was that you had to click on every link you saw. posted by hue at 7:42 PM on November 10, 2005
...did I just get called a bitch? posted by elemenopee at 7:49 PM on November 10, 2005
I thought it was funny. Not quite genius material, but when something only takes 30 seconds of my time, I can't really be all that critical. posted by afroblanca at 7:50 PM on November 10, 2005
Perhaps NSFW refers to the ads on the page. posted by odinsdream at 9:01 PM on November 10, 2005
The MeFi posting etiquette freaks need to chill a couple of notches. posted by mert at 9:39 PM on November 10, 2005

Sasha should go back to doing Ali G - Borat was just embarrassing hosting the EMAs last week... posted by benzo8 at 1:11 AM on November 11, 2005
Borat WAS pretty embarrassing at the EMAs (though I chuckled when he got stuck on stage during the Foo Fighters), but some of the actual Borat SHOW is GENIUS! posted by antifuse at 1:40 AM on November 11, 2005
I kinda felt sorry for Dave Grohl (although the Foos are no strangers to humour and comedy) - it all felt so forced. Still, it was worth it just to witness the tightness with which they launched back into the song - them's professionals alright... posted by benzo8 at 4:42 AM on November 11, 2005
WTF? I saw this like 18 months ago. (I am so cool) posted by Jase_B at 4:52 AM on November 11, 2005
Ali G and Borat are so 2002.
Get with the times guys..

Ali G and Borat are so 2002.
Pffft. We were sick of him on this side of the Atlantic by about 1999. posted by anagrama at 7:06 AM on November 11, 2005
I always thought Borat was the best part posted by poppo at 7:45 AM on November 11, 2005
