Ali-G... I feel so stupid |
|
I don't keep up with popular culture, partly because it's silly at my age, but I've been baffled that ass-clown Ali-G gets any play on any media anywhere. He's such a fucking loser.
Just minutes ago I learned who he is. Just seeing his real name made it all click. Now I get it.
Duh! Big time.

1. Not sure what you mean. |
|
Sacha Baron Cohen is an actor/comedian/satirist who has several characters. Ali-G, Borat, Bruno. He's a highly educated liberal who did his masters degree work in history in England on the American Civil Rights movement. Fascinating man, very subtle witt. Some see him as a clown more than a satirist, but they miss what he's doing, similar to those who think Colbert is a conservative.

I thought Ali-G was a real rapper or something. I didn't know until today that he was Cohen. As a real rapper, he'd be unbearable, but as a comedian, I get it.

8. I thought so, but there was always the possibility |
|
that you hadn't seen enough of his stuff to get him. :thumbsup:
I'm late to the whole party, too. I loved his role in Talladega Nights, so I did a bit of research on him afterwards.

If it weren't for the occasional visit to homes with cable, I'd have had no idea either.
