Everything’s gonna be Ali right

February 16, 2011

By Staff Reporter

For those of you who’ve never experienced his brand of outrageous comedy, Ali G. is the yellow-track-suited rapper persona of British comic Sacha Cohen. He lures unsuspecting public figures onto the set of his spoof “talk show” and, speaking in an almost impenetrable West Indian accent, poses questions designed to leave them speechless. Some samples:
To former CIA director James Woolsey regarding conspiracy: “Let’s get back to the grassy knoll. Who actually shot J.R.?”
To George Patton, grandmaster of the Orange Lodge in Northern Ireland, regarding marching music: “Is you knocking out a drum and bass sound or is it more speed garage?”
To Sue Ramsey of Sinn Fein, regarding the Irish and craic: “It might be stereotyping or whatever, man, but I is heard that the Irish is always up for the crack.”
Sue: “No, no. Crack in Ireland means having a good time.”
Ali: “A’ight, for real but crack is a bad drug there is a high but also a low.”
