    the whole point is that the interviewee doesn't know its a setup, THAT what makes it funny. it's one of the reasons he had to go over to the US, everyone in the UK was on to him!!

    there's a couple of clips of him on Kazaa, but i can see it being the type of humour that doesn't 'travel' well!

    I read somewhere thou that one of the US papers that DID give a good review was the NY Times, which I'd always thought was a quite conservative paper?

      I've only heard a bit about Ali G, but it sounds a bit like Primetime Glick, which isn't funny.
      If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.

        Oh please stop. My sides are hurting.

        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          has my knowledge of American papers let me down? .....'hangs his head in shame'
