The genius of Sasha is that he can articulate a persona in such a stereotypical way that is entirely intentional that you can see both see it and yet laugh at the dark humour behind. truly a genuinely smart man
What makes Parky such a fantastic interviewer is that he is genuinely interested in everyone he meets. No matter who you pair him with, he will selflessly bring out the best of the other person whether it be the inner truths of someone's dark past, or Cohen's genius humour as in this clip.
@chamade166 Yep, we are actually FUNNY here and our humour is very sarcastic. We can insult you with a straight face, it's a skill we are known for!🙃🇬🇧
If you look for les patterson he always called him parky . Les is of course dame edna aka Brian Humphrey .way before sasha so id say hes used that name
Sacha is just simply a mind blowing genius. To cause people to actually believe every character he played, was him for real, shows what kinda amazing genius he is. Ali G, Borat, Bruno and now, revolutionary The Dictator !
Sacha has a great talent for improvising. It's hard for me to imagine how Sacha stays in character so well. Oh wait, or is Ali G in character playing Sacha Baron Cohen? Or it's Borat playing Ali G then playing Sacha Baron Cohen?
hear me now, bo, selecta, swallow back, holla, big up yourself, everything irie, coming at you like cleapatra, from da back a da bus, recognize, represent, keepin it real, diggity check yourself before you wreck yourself, swallow back, oh yeah and alo! not too sure if the line "from da back a da bus" is correct, but it sounds like it.
Parts are parts aren't things like ali listing all the gang signs after he asks about buraka sha is scripted but probably a lot isn't. Also all his interviews with random people are unscripted
Stacey bladen-hovell So typical of you brits to bring America into everything..Nothing about this video involved Americans or anything American. Bout time you brits hop off our dicks.
I think the point is that as a part of his 'Da Ali G show' he travelled to America several times. It was apparent from the guests and the ratings that American people and audiences didn't understand his style of comedy as Ali G. Funny though that his 'Bruno' sketch (The worst he ever did) sat really well in America. The problem is that Americans in general are so literal they don't understand subtle comedy (which is the funniest sort) because then they would have to think for themselves. (not every American- just most of them unfortunately) (BTW sorry it is 2 years late)
@Thomas Latinos are not one ethnic group but they are often of black heritage in Brazil and Puerto Rico for example even if it's 25 or 12.5% stop trying to make drama you little shrink sack
I'm aware jew is a religion but the predominant ethnicities of the Jewish people are eastern European and Eurasian/Turkic that's just a fact and yeah I think that is the case Tom but then again here I am explaining shit to a dumbass which isn't a genius level move
@@jamessullivan6047 @James Sullivan you're the moron. Ali G is a fictional character who was based on a real human called Sacha baron Cohen who is actually Jewish. The CHARACTER of his creation was based on British rude BOI culture. He wanted to call the character Ali and be an Asian, but out of fear of being labeled an islamophobe he added the G and made himself a hybrid of a middle class white man pretending to be an Asian and Jamaican gangster. Nobody asked you. Judaism is a religion. A Jew is someone who is affiliated with the religion. Fuck off you balloon troll even your assumed accurate history is wrong about Judaism.
When he explains "booya-kasha" i nearly peed my pants. Make no mistake, his explanation is a perfectly choreographed bit delivered with the comdedic timing and rythym of a professioanl..
It must be just me, but this scripted comedy act didnt do it for me. I normally like Ali G but it would've worked better as a normal ad lib interview....
He dodsnt just come out with 'ad libs' in his other interviews, he has a back catalogue of pre scripted comebacks stored in his head. Thats how it works. That is the genius of the man. The thing is, he is on parkinson, so he gad to be carefull what he said.
He should've won an oscar for not bursting out in laughter.
Innit
Yeah, fooreal!
This is not a movie though, so... unlikely.
Oscars are for mvies.
He's good at that
I like how a 32" TV was impressive back then.
AKindChap
Depends how far away you sit from your telly innit?
It would of been the silver big black back ones
Diagonal=/=Horizontal, a marketing trick when TV went from 4:3 to 16:9.

Hahaha now its like everyone he 2 32s dual monitor for their basic pc setup 🤣
I like to imagine Sacha Baron-Cohen is just Ali G trying to play a character
hahaha
👌👌👌🤣
Ali G. The G stands for genius
ikr
gangster
Robert Fraser he's back! But not as Ali G
Actually it stands for Graham. Alistair Graham is his full name.
@@OfficiallySanctionedKATG, NO
its a shame that ALOT of people will never know the true genius that is Ali G.
thank you Sacha for the teaching people to "think" again.
You’re exactly right. Still doing it to this day
This was back when the BBC didn't care about who they upset, now though they just aren't the same.
thetechnicalbouse this is what happens when the world sucumbs to feminist facists.
Scara and Spud yea it is sad. and to think about that it hasnt been this long since this aired. what has the world become in such a short time...
+Arthur Wellesley 1st Duke of Wellington Yeah, so "fascist", BBC Worldwide put it on here
landsberger64 Back in 2007.
Your argument is moot, this was uploaded 8 years ago!
***** Indeed Brother. I see you also follow the Great Leader (Kane). May GDI burn in hell!
Its hard to believe that he went from this, to Borat, to Bruno ! He's a genius ! xD
And then back to borat
The genius of Sasha is that he can articulate a persona in such a stereotypical way that is entirely intentional that you can see both see it and yet laugh at the dark humour behind. truly a genuinely smart man
Is Q have you been following his new series Who is America?
it is genius!
I dont see much difference between this and minstrels
@@Sassssky except he is taking the mick out of a multi cultural generation in the uk and not a race. Stop trying to turn it into a race issue
Whats a sasha ? Ali G ? Is that his real name ? I dont want to hear it.
4:41 he just manages to hold it together. Man I miss Ali G.
He's such a pro, if I start smiling, I'm done, impossible to recover from that, interview over. He can go on for insane amounts of time.
yoe91
Film Rant he's back, but not as Ali G
He smiled because he improvised and was thinking what to say next. Parkinson was supposed to ask about Nan, but asked about his parents instead!
What makes Parky such a fantastic interviewer is that he is genuinely interested in everyone he meets. No matter who you pair him with, he will selflessly bring out the best of the other person whether it be the inner truths of someone's dark past, or Cohen's genius humour as in this clip.
Absolutely superb comment.
How Cohen can keep a straight face during these sessions is beyond me. Fantastic.
Props to the BBC interviewer guy for actually having a sense of humor and going with it.
Umm seems highly offensive to me. Maybe humor is different in the UK.

It's gotten worse...they are like whT blad Allow it fama lama ding dong
Taha Hasan hahahahhahhahahahahahahhahahahahhah
Thecramps1982 well yeah but at least i can understand what Ali G is saying.
+Thecramps1984 I see what you did there..
+Thecramps1984 But he is American, Chavs has to be British, no?
This guy is amazing - it doesn't matter what role he slips into. He's the Peter Sellers of the 21st century...
Robert Flint have you been following his new series Who is America?
I think in an interview he said he looked up to Peter Sellers.
Ali G is my all time favourite character of Sacha Baron Cohen. How did he keep a straight face. He's just brilliant
Respect
👊👊👊

Filmed using only the finest quality BBC potato.
barbecue potato
🤣
in my country there is problem
***** no.. someone keeps knocking on doors
I'm my country (USA) they fuck their daughters LMAO
Oh shit this reminds me of the times before everything got PC. Me and my classmates always went around quoting Ali G ;)
that was hilarious,he has so many come backs....awesome bro see
Kimberly Brock that blond is well fit!
My god...that's true comedy. He's able to be funny on the spot, no preparation, no rehearsals. Few comedians are that spontaneous.
At this point in time he was the funniest man in the world. Happy days.
Love how Ali G calls Parkinson "parky"
If you look for les patterson he always called him parky . Les is of course dame edna aka Brian Humphrey .way before sasha so id say hes used that name
Whether you like Ali G or not you have to admit that the flow of expressions he burst to explain what Booyakasha means was simply brilliant!
There actually is a Harvester in Bracknell. The fact that most of what he says is genuine makes it even funnier.
I love Michael Ball's face, he's just loving the whole thing and having a great time.
Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedy genius and possibly one of the best character actors around today.
Sacha is just simply a mind blowing genius.
To cause people to actually believe every character he played, was him for real, shows what kinda amazing genius he is.
Ali G, Borat, Bruno and now, revolutionary The Dictator !

Omar Sade have you been following his new series Who is America?
Lol Sacha's usually really good at keeping in character, but even in this one you can see hes finding it difficult not to smile
Sacha has a great talent for improvising. It's hard for me to imagine how Sacha stays in character so well. Oh wait, or is Ali G in character playing Sacha Baron Cohen? Or it's Borat playing Ali G then playing Sacha Baron Cohen?
Looks like a Primark onesie.

not too sure if the line "from da back a da bus" is correct, but it sounds like it.
the harvester in Bracknell, respek innit!
My endz Bracknell massive !!
One thing is for sure we wont have another Shasha Baron Cohen in our lifetime.
I'm just binge watching all of Ali He's stuff. So funny and original. Love him man.
320speed
“ALI’S STUFF” = Correct
Not “Ali He’s stuff”. = Stupid
is this actually freestyle? if it is, this is the goat of comedy
Parts are parts aren't things like ali listing all the gang signs after he asks about buraka sha is scripted but probably a lot isn't. Also all his interviews with random people are unscripted
@@PabloEscobar-ws8rz he was phenomenal
@ibrahimyassin3878 yeh he's great wish he kept doing these but he probably wouldn't get away with this kinda stuff today sadly
@PabloEscobar-ws8rz indeed, our world has become too fragile, and humor is dying off because all comedians are restrained by cancel culture.
this guy is ridiculously underrated because of his zaney and off the wall characters,IMO Sacha,Gervais and Russell Brand are in a league of their own.
some of the best TV watching days of my life were when I thought Ali G was a real person. God, I miss that and I miss Ali.
"But i would love to put my eiffel tower in your euro tunnel"
Queen's hinglish :D
Man i miss this kind of no bs humor.
me ended up getting 100 hours of community service lol ~~~~~ lost it right there
Brilliant! this guy is wayyy too smart. amazing!
Ali G is the best haha.
Ali G is just fantastically funny. Brilliant interview!
Do Americans get him yet ?:)

SBC is one of the greatest talents!
Sasha, one of the best comedians... Ever.
We all knew someone white, black and asian like Ali G
So we all know a tanned Jew or a Latino or an Arab? Cause they are white black and asian
@Thomas why ? I'm literally talking about the genetics of these people they are mixed like my kids are. You fuck off dumb ass
@Thomas Latinos are not one ethnic group but they are often of black heritage in Brazil and Puerto Rico for example even if it's 25 or 12.5% stop trying to make drama you little shrink sack

This was back when BBC meant something else to Ali G
Ali G is brilliant. Best Sacha creation by far imo!
His "beast" was levitating, ya get me.?
This is a valid reason as to why there's should be a Grand Theft Audio: East Staines.
No. I just recently watched the movie again, and its my ringtone lol
He says "Me name be Ali G representing the west staines massive aight"
Not trolling, he touches different important subjects and is pure genius, and well educated. He is 5 steps ahead of people he is talking with.
Sasha Cohen is legendary!❤
Me nan´s died - it was the first think that made lough, man.
Thought this was an Ali g interview where he talks about Parkinson's.
"...the most beautifulest bitch in the world"
Gentleman. For realz.
Good old days not that long ago
Great talk show amazing guests who can just be who they are
When he explains "booya-kasha" i nearly peed my pants. Make no mistake, his explanation is a perfectly choreographed bit delivered with the comdedic timing and rythym of a professioanl..
Genius.
he is a ledge imagine having him at a party lmao
Do u think sasha almost cracked up at 5:19 ?!!
He almost did 😂

Diggity check yoself before yo wreck yoself
why can't we enjoy some shameless comedy these days??
I enjoy it all the time.
I came here expecting jokes about Parkinsons. Got really offensive jokes instead.
The name of the host is Michael Parkinson.
J0nathan Lam You mean jokes about Parkinsons would have been too much "on the nose"?
Dejay Rezme The host's last name is Parkinson...
J0nathan Lam Yes lol I know I tried to make a funny

So long gone are the dayz when laughter and music where up top.. Big Sigh!
I love him

The dude in the middle who was on goodness gracious me playing stereotypical English people well doing a fake accent?..
@stephen noonan the man who did the going for an English sketch "is not impressed " by a man playing a character 😂..
Innit! But Sanjeev now likes Borat 2
The guy right next to Ali G clearly doesn't find his act funny. He's not laughing at all.
DM87 hes a shit comedian
+DM87 You think Sasha is actually "mixed"? You've completely missed the point of the "Ali G" character. Sorry.
+Danimal300zx the guy next to sacha is one of the most famous comedians in england
+Divy Jain I hope you're joking. He's fairly well known, granted, but one of the most famous!?
Look properly, he was laughing
Genius! So funny!
no one can beat him best interview ever lolllllllzzzzzzzz
Remember watching few of his things growing up just sick an originally ahead
240p we meet again
He recycled his jokes but still funny
+Mythical Lion of course. he has his repetoir. very noticable in the borat character.
Watch his eyes. He's reading cue cards just to the left of Parkinson.
CrazyWedz nah dog
Brilliant! Sacha looks like Scooby-Doo! LOL.
He was on 🔥 this interview
what was levitating? Transcribing this interview for English coursework and I can't understand some of what he's saying hahah :L

yes Every blinking year £ 150 and I never watch the bbc crap. No show jumping from Hickstead now. they used to show the Hickstead Derby every August.
Ali G reminds me of my friend.. They look alike and live a similar lifestyle... very true story lol
the most underrated actor of all time?

To skip the ad refreash the page and it will automatically go to the video, thumbs up if it works.
On top form here! Bouyakasha Sacha!
2:00 - 2:30 Onwards he's making a comment on society, pretty valid point
@MikeOxsmells I know what you mean, go into Reading and everyone's speaks like they're from saaafff laandan
man it must of been hard work creating and acting out his 3 main characters, but its paid off. genius comedy!
Brilliant then and brilliant now
aaah lmao!
quality! Ali-G never gets old lol
He will always remind me of Borat no matter what roll he is in. This is the best actor in the world. No doubt.
