Ali G's In Da House

Definitely an interesting comedy. For me, the highlight was getting to know the Queen, respect 🤣
I guess some of the jokes feel a bit lowbrow at times, but honestly, it’s still better than most of those average American parodies you see lying around.

Yeah, the jokes are kind of basic, but they somehow work. I don't even know how to put it.

I suppose I find his entire filmography to be passable; personally, I’ve always felt Borat was his peak, so this one might just sit in second place for me. It certainly leans into some mindless gags and can feel somewhat exhausting at times, though I suspect the stronger moments tend to outweigh the weaker ones.

I think this movie is absolutely top-tier, just like Borat.
It’s got that incredible sense of self-deprecation—it's just brilliant stuff.

Personally, my favorite bit is when he brags about all those tactical outfits—you know, that whole "camo" look—and then acts like he’s being totally "forced" to go through evidence, like looking at weed or porn, before finally shouting "back to Canada!" 😂

I don't find Borat funny when he does that stuff. I'm just not really into that shock humor vibe.

I actually found myself laughing while watching this—the "Me was trying to save time" bit was easily the funniest part. Truly good...

Yeah.. but honestly, the cheap production value totally undercut Cohen's knack for playing the fool.

So what specifically didn't work for you about this movie? 🤷

The whole Cohen collection is absolute garbage. Borat only worked for people who hadn't already been fed his brand of toilet humor—which, let's face it, isn't exactly a high bar. Even so, this mindless compilation of even more mindless sketches is miles better than Bruno or the Dictator. When the one-minute trailers are literally the peak of what a movie offers, it's painfully obvious you're looking at classic all style, zero substance material. Honestly, the best way to describe his entire filmography would be a single phrase: cinematic defecation.

-2/10 is what everything he’s ever touched deserves. And that’s only because I’m in an unusually good mood today.

I'm with you on the other movies, even Borat, but back in the day, I actually thought this was a cute, fresh little comedy.

Joseph Fisher2, respect!! Keep it Real!

I caught him on TV a few days ago... watched the whole thing. I don't know about everyone else, but personally, I find him hilarious—actually entertaining. I could probably sit through a few more clips and still enjoy them just as much as before. Obviously, this is from back in 2002, so things aren't quite the same today—haha—but man, so much has changed in eleven years... even the way comedy works. I'd give it a 7.5/10. There are a few little things I’d tweak, but what can you do...🙂
