It's pure genius how Cohen gets to make these smart jokes with his interviewees because they think he is ignorant; but because it's an innocent ignorance, they tolerate him which sets themselves up for the next joke. And it always ends well. One thing I love is the sensitivity Cohen can show while still staying in character, e.g.: "So if Jesus were alive today.... and I'm not saying he ain't..." Without the second clause to that statement, the interview would have gone right off the rails.
@James, yeah I know what you mean. He always adds just enough rapport/respect to make it seem more like he's just ignorant rather than give away the fact he's trolling.
@Starfish Prime faith is what you have Evey time you walk out your door and don't think your getting robbed or killed, Faith in a creator in the right way makes better people
Frankincense is the dried sap of trees in the Boswellia genus, particularly Boswellia sacra. These trees grow in Oman, Yemen and the Horn of Africa, including Somalia and Ethiopia. When dried, the sap is burned as incense and thought to have several medicinal properties. Its not a herb
Ali G was merely making a giant leap of faith.. he was clutching at straws purely attempting to connect absurd and surreal dots, no matter how illusory, in order to get to Amsterdam (along with all it's blissful offerings).. I think it's a fair enough summation to suggest that he was quite successful in getting his non factual, borderline existential point across
as a Jew and Sasha being a Jew is the cause of offense. Everyone knows Jesus was Jewish and they brought him frankincense. Is Ali G not Jewish? In the ancient temples the used to burn these substances and herbs.
That's very true and I'm sure all other religions ask this question , what are the chances Jesus was born in winter time when its most boring and hard to get through that season. Summer time people enjoy and don't need a holiday
Wtf it's well known that when Christianity was imported to Britain Christmas was tacked on to the midwinter solstice celebration. There's still loads of pagan aspects to Christmas such as mistletoe.
Cnred When I say “Jesus” I’m talking about all the stories surrounding him; that he could walk on water, wake up from the dead, and heal people. Otherwise, Jesus is just another insignificant name.
Starfish Prime Yep, faith is gullibility. It’s literally just believing in something when you don’t have good/any evidence for it, or as Matt Dillahunty describes it; the excuse people give for believing in something when they don’t have a good reason. Jesus could well be a real person that meant a lot to a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean he did all of those divine stunts. It could also be that the original story was something vastly different, maybe he was famous and then people started rumours about him. If you have every played Chinese Whisper/Telephone as a child, you know how the story gets twisted as you approach the end, I don’t see why this isn’t the case of Jesus. He could also simply just be a story and he have never existed. Even if someone did manage to prove that Jesus was a real historical person, that wouldn’t automatically mean that all those divine stunts he did was real. It’s like, if you manage to prove evolution false, that doesn’t mean that the god claims are automatically viable, it doesn’t add one bit of credibility. To the fear thingy. I totally agree! We did need religion back then because if we didn’t really have any boundaries, people would literally be going around murdering and stealing as their law system wasn’t exactly the greatest. Religion introduced the concept of hell; that if you do something that the bible condemns, you’ll be tortured FOREVER. Imagine being tortured forever for a finite crime. The sooner people realise that the Bible and the Quran is nonsense, the sooner we’ll be able to progress as human beings. We live in the 21st century, and people still believe in this nonsense.
@@mobpod420 you obviously are not the brightest in the bunch. …Abraham , Isaac , Jacob, his 12 sons, and their descendants, were all “black” or “negro” people. Semitic people’s

I think he's meant to be Rastafarian. Maybe he asked the question and included the clip because he wanted the viewer to learn what Ramadan is, and more than anything was taking the p*ss out of people who are ignorant to other cultures/beliefs. He is asking a Christian Priest about Islam, and showing us the clip as his xmas message, after all. Pro tip: Most times comedians are being offensive, they're ironically posing as an arrogant fool.
Where did you get that idea from? There's no evidence in ANY of 'Da Ali G show' episodes or in 'Ali G in da house' that the character of Ali G is Muslim!
''Jesus is available for us to contact him, but he won't be visible until the latter days'' gee 😂 that's convenient for a greedy priestarchy bent on milking a captive tax audience for as long as they can get away with it.

And if Santa and Jesus are coming together , it’s no more a family celebration , rather a mature audience even Tor evening...
Not Andy Rooney
So refreshing to see someone didn't start a fight over religion in the comment section.

Too much of a coincidence if you ask me.

Jesus is Santa for the grown ups
Does this mean that 'Self' or 'Free Will' is the Tooth Fairy for "grown ups"?
Yule predates Christmas by thousands of years.
There was no room in the inn at Xmas?? Cause it was full!!

Well all sorts of people go to Church and it's good that preachers are respectful and accepting of even stupid people.
Of course Jesus was real, but it's absolutely absurd to suggest that Santa might be.
Jesus is historically known to have existed.
Santa is known to be corporate advertising
What's confusing? You didn't even say "is real" hahaha

This is real cringe, are you 12 years old?
The definition of God and the definition of an imaginary friend are different whether you believe in God or not.
How can his interviewees even answer his idiotic questions or believe this is a real interviewer?
When even Ali G realises that Jesus is made up.
PD pretty sure he was a real person while not everyone believes that he was God’s son, historians are pretty certain he was a real person.
