Da Ali G Show – Complete Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)

Posted by admin in TelevisionApr 30th, 2008 | no responses The first two Seasons of DA ALI G SHOW are collected here. SEASON ONE: Already a megastar in his native England, multi-talented comedian Sacha Baron Cohen successfully makes the transition to American shores with DA ALI G SHOW. Cohen`s most prominent character is Ali G, a yellow sweatsuit-wearing gangsta who performs some of the most outlandish interviews television has ever seen (at one point, he calls astronaut Buzz Aldrin

mah man Buzz Lightyear ). Other characters are the ridiculously naive Kazakhstani journalist Borat and Austrian fashion freak Bruno. Over the course of six episodes, Cohen and his alter egos traverse the American landscape in search of new and exciting adventures. The result is television at its most hysterical and brilliant. Boyashaka!SEASON TWO: Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) dons his yellow sweatsuit once again, heads to American shores from his native UK, and befuddles and amuses a variety of people as the Second Season of DA ALI G SHOW swings into action. Following his

with ultraconservative Pat Buchanan, and wonders why the Olympics don`t have a competition for the world`s longest moustache. Meanwhile, Baron Cohen`s other characters, Kazakhstanian TV presenter Borat and gay Austrian fashion guru Bruno, create similar havoc and confusion across America. A wickedly funny slice of TV from HBO, DA ALI G SHOW makes perfect viewing for viewers who love to watch people squirm and wriggle as they are confronted with some of the most bizarre characters they`re ever likely to face.
