What I Received Was NOT The Complete Series!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

What I received was the first 2 seasons, but since it was advertised as "the complete series", I really thought I was going to be receiving all 3 seasons. I'm glad to have it, because I love 'Da Ali G Show', but it would've been even better to have gotten all 3 seasons.

One of the most fascinating comedians of our age

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2009

Verified Purchase

I had a great political science professor as an undergraduate, Jim Ranchino, a student of William Appleman Williams. Nothing angered Ranchino so much as lightly examined or passively accepted ideas. His goal as a professor, he said, was to raise our "B.S. quotient." To this end, he would try to make us challenge him. On occasion he would do his best to make his students challenge him, to force us to refuse to accept him as an authority, even intentionally lying for the entire class period, making up increasingly outrageous "facts" about, say, the war in the Pacific in WW II or the beliefs of some political philosopher. His goal was not to get us to ingest a certain body of "facts," but to get us to question, to challenge, and confront.

I think Jim Ranchino would have appreciated Sascha Baron Cohen's humor. His three alter egos - Ali G., Borat, and Brûno - are among the most challenging comic characters to have appeared in the past couple of decades. They are challenging both because Cohen uses them to challenge and satirize our almost limitless gullibility. Ali G. is a brilliant caricature of wannabes, people who are so fake that they themselves are unaware of it. We don't know what Ali G.'s real name is, but we know that he is a white, upper-class twit. He talks of "Keeping it real," yet he is so self-deceived that he can confront his viewers by asking, "Haven't you ever seen a black man before?" So on one level we laugh at Ali G. because he is a self-deceived idiot, but on another we laugh at the people who are taken in by his fraud. And since many of the people Ali G. deceives are people that we look up to in our culture, the joke is on us as well. Cohen's strategy is perhaps best seen in a skit where Brûno interviews a man in charge of a fashion show and asks him a string of questions that directly contradict one another, such as "Why was everything so light?" follows by "Why was everything so heavy?" His final question in the interview is, "Is consistency important to you?"

Of course, this constant puncturing of the pretensions of our culture would be merely an intellectual exercise if the series wasn't also hysterically funny. There are times in DA ALI G. SHOW when I laugh about as hard as it is possible for me to laugh. There are also times when I merely winch. Cohen is almost always on the edge in his humor, which how he likes it. Much of the time when I watch him, I'm extremely uncomfortable; the rest of the time I'm laughing my head off. In one scene I might be dying as Ali G. asks Buzz Aldrin, "Will man ever set foot on the sun?" (After Aldrin assures him that we will not, ever, because it is too hot, Ali G. asks, "What if we were to go during the winter?") In another I might feel uneasy compassion for some poor soul as Borat shows pornographic Polaroids of him and his sister. Sometimes his skits show us at our worse, such as the glee with which patrons in a country western bar join Borat in singing "Throw the Jew Down the Well." Are we, we wonder, really that racist beneath the surface? Or are the people in the bar oblivious as to the meaning of the lyrics?

Cohen has a longstanding interest in prejudice and hatred of otherness. At Cambridge University his studies were centered on the American civil rights movement in the sixties (I've wondered if his frequent visits to Mississippi on his shows are related to his academic background). I'm not saying that everything on Cohen's shows has an elevated purpose or is high-minded, but I do believe that it is part of the mix. Obviously he is first and foremost an entertainer more than willing to take the low road for a laugh, but it is also obvious that his questions often have other purposes.

You'll Cry..

The movie Ali G wasn't very funny but this HBO box set of the Da Ali G show is easily as funny as either movie "Borat" or "Bruno", which were true tear-jerkers. Da Ali G Show, less than a half hour per episode, divides into one part Ali G, one part Borat, and one part Bruno. So actually if you're just getting into Sacha Baron Cohen this is a good place to start. Special features include some unreleased stuff, mostly hilarious, a Harvard guest speech at graduation, and a commentary over the first show of the first season with one of the crew and Cohen himself. I would've liked to have heard how they finally got license to put this stuff on the show - I suppose it's a journalistic right to publish anything if an interviewee grants you an interview? I wonder if the "guests" on his show receive any royalties from HBO or the DVD, etc...

There are only 6 shows per season, so that's around 3 hours total per season. The box set is obviously a good deal for a total of 6 hours. Both seasons are rivitingly hilarious, though if I had to choose perhaps I'd choose the second as better than the first, though there were lots of good stuff in both and it's very easy to watch a whole season in one sitting. You don't want to stop. And it's amazing the guests he gets on his show - Sam Donaldson from ABC news, Andy Rooney from 60 minutes (he doesn't take too much of Ali G's crap), ministers, men of science, women in all walks of life, Darryl Gates LAPD police cheif, a guy from the DEA, former presidential advisors, Noam Chomsky, fashion gurus, club owners, all variety of everyday people - he's relentless. It's almost surreal to see these distinguished personages being interviewed by the likes of Ali G.

I've just ordered a few sets of the British stuff which was made prior to this HBO production and is shot in England. I'm assuming I won't recognize many of the interviewees on that show. Yes, I have a 'region-free' DVD player which will make this viewing possible (UK = PAL region 2 discs that don't play on standard US players). Reading customer reviews on those discs (on Amazon.uk) I recall one reviewer comparing the UK stuff to the later HBO stuff shot in America, and she said something like 'perhaps we don't take ourselves quite as seriously as those in America.." I haven't seen the UK stuff yet, so I can't really compare yet, but it just seems to me it would be easier to victimize Americans more easily than British, because Ali G is British, so first of all, no one in England is going to be looking at him as a "foreigner" to begin with. He accent, while obviously tripped out to the rastafarian umpth degree is still British so it seems like it would still be a little harder to put over on your own people. Whereas in the States, Ali G's British accent alone makes him slightly exotic - add to that all the other stuff and these poor interviewees are really just trying to comprehend how "different" the world is beyond our borders. And this is not even bringing up Borat. Anyway, it's a good expirament and a fun one to watch. It's truly unique in the annals of comedy that someone could pull this off. If you haven't seen the Ali G Show yet and you liked "Borat" or "Bruno" the movies, don't hesitate. You'll hurt from laughing so much.

If you are a fan of comedy you will enjoy this show.

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014

Sacha Baron Cohen, who travels across America in the guise of one of three totally different characters. Cohen's primary alter-ego is Ali G., who calls himself a "hip-hop journalist", but who's really a white wannabe rapper. He interviews serious people asking stupid and ridiculous questions which leads to hilarity ensuing. I wish he would make another show like this again with new characters. I suppose it is hard now that he is so famous. I have watched this show at least five times that is how good it is. I highly recommend it for people that enjoy curb your enthusiasm, arrested development, and the office (the good seasons and UK).

Big ups for Sacha Baron Cohen's overwhelming success. Unfortunately, it bookends his brilliant series Da Ali G Show on HBO.

The show is fantastic, and having Da Compleet Seereez in one set is phenomenal, and addictive.

Buy this. Watch it one thousand times, then track down the original English series on vhs.

Regardless of your politics or point of view, you'll find something redeeming and genuine in Ali G, Borat and Bruno.

This is a must have in the comedy collection. Truly groundbreaking work.

I chose this rating because it came fast and it was exactly what I ordered.

I bought it used and it was a good price. This show is fantastic and I love this kind of humour (not for everyone) since it is pretty offensive if you are not familiar with his films. Also, the service is great.

I recommend this to EVERYONE! It is too funny to brush off!
