    I think he was funny as the ali g character on tv but that was over 10 years ago ,do Gen z even know who he is ? Most comedians appear on podcasts now or on YouTube or have a special on Netflix , it's a long time since he made a film .

    The early Borat segments from the Ali G show were good.

    HIs last show Who Is America had some really interesting scenes. They were more interesting than funny in some cases but that's fine for satire.

    He got a politician to do a supposed Mossad terrorism training course. Convince the guy, in a hostage situation, to pull down his trousers and back into the terrorist shouting 'Merica'. Convived him that terrorists are so afraid that touching a bum would turn them gay so they'd surrender.

    That's pretty astonishing ignorance and prejudice. Imagine being so afraid of something and knowing absolutely nothing about it. That's great satire. It showed how ignorance can lead to fear, prejudice and harmful behaviour.

    His early stuff was comic genius and he was incredibly quick ...he made you feel uncomfortable..he was challenging stereotypes and being ironic about it ...

    But...when it went all movie and Holywood. It completely lost its spontaneity and the point.

    A very talented dude..

    Genius. The lady's reaction is gold.

    Strikes me as a bit of a knob in a real life though.
