Ali G interviews Elton John [Warning, mature]
-
Ali G is as much a serious interviewer as he is black... I only caught the first stuff Ali G (real name Sacha Baron-Cohen I believe) did on UK TV (it was a sub-section of a comedy show - the '11 o'clock' show I think), but some of his interviews were fantastic. Nobody had heard of him so the interviewees all believed he was a real 'youf' presenter - the funniest bits were the lengths the victimsinterviewees would go to to pretend they were 'down with the kids'! Unfortunately after the first set of interviews he had to leave the country to find victims because everybody in the UK knew who he was.

Thanks Mike. I actually do know who Ali G is, watched quite a few of his tapes (that "You calling me white? You a racist! I be black!" one is hilarious.) Under his FUBAR exterior is actually quite a smart guy. A lot of people see his antics and think he is just being an idiot. Respect to him IMO. I was asking if the "transcript" of the Ali G interview of Elton John that I posted was a spoof. Mike Upton wrote: Unfortunately after the first set of interviews he had to leave the country to find victims because everybody in the UK knew who he was. Which is why I think maybe this Elton John one was a spoof. EJ would have known about Ali G and would either have refused or done a lot better in the interview as he would be forewarned and have his own ammo.

Oops! Sorry for the misunderstanding... Paul Watson wrote: Which is why I think maybe this Elton John one was a spoof. EJ would have known about Ali G and would either have refused or done a lot better in the interview as he would be forewarned and have his own ammo. I guess it depends when the interview was supposed to have been done, and when the first Ali G interviews were broadcast in the UK.

Ag no man. Is it really a spoof? Damned good one though.

Paul Watson wrote: Is it really a spoof? Has to be. Such interviews are always pre-arranged to fit into some limits. Otherwise the image of the interviewer/interviewed could suffer and nobody accepts such a risk. It's the usual practice i saw since i'm workin in the media :cool: PS: am i da only one who agrees wiv ali g's extremly accurate definition of Eminem (warning: 18+ only!!!)[^]? :-D rechi

I don't know much about Marshal Mathers personally, but his latest stuff is damned good. He has gone away from his earlier shock tactics and started to say what he really feels IMO (still not tame of course, but the first stuff was just about "What will shock people the most?" rather than "What am I really trying to say?".) I may be wrong though. :)

Let Eminem... :-D Paul Watson wrote: I may be wrong You also have to notice that Elton John is a multi-million dollar affair and he probably has the best producers in the world. They shouldn't accept to let him face such ridiculous situations. Of course, i may be wrong too... :~ rechi

Some rather "mature" subjects discussed, nothing direct of course but even my Kid Sister would get the drift. But it is hilarious. Frankly I am disapointed in John Elton. Thought he would have a lot more gutzpa than he displayed. Seriously, if you are going to be interviewed by someone then you find out how they interview before you accept. If you think you can't handle it, don't do the interview. But if you go on the interview then instead of being a daft bugger like Elton was you should stand up and hit back harder than the interviewer is hitting you. Surely Elton knew Ali G was going to a: talk about his battyness, b: bring up George and Diana and c: focus on the things Elton showed problems with. Elton is apparently trying to ban this interview from being aired. Anyway, as I said, rather rude but hilarious stuff. Ali G: Alo! I is ere wiv none uver dan da batty boy of pop, John Elton. Respect. Elton John: It's Elton John actually Ali. Ali G: Aiih, whatever. So John, is you always been a batty boy cause I erd dat you woz once married - although I also erd dat da missus was mingin? Elton John: Well Ali if you mean have I always been gay then probably deep down I was but maybe fought it because in my younger days especially it was not socially acceptable to be gay. Ali G: Fer real, but when you was gettin' jiggy did you fink about people like James Dean and that Jonny Rottweiler who was tarzan so you wouldn't end up wiv a floppy or woz you tris*xual and didn't care where you was stickin' Mr biggy? Elton John: Again I probably fought hard to convince myself wasn't gay so I never had a problem maintaining an er*ction with women. I now know I am homos*xual so I would probably struggle to get aroused with a woman now. Ali G: Wow, I fink I might be homos*xual then cause Mr biggy wasn't coming out to play last Saturday night although ma Julie says it woz coz I drank a bottle of Dan Jackiels and had about 6 spl*ffs. I fink it woz coz me Julie isn't very subtractive now in fact she's a dog. Elton John:I think you're Julie was right - it takes one to know one. Ali G: Wot, is you saying me Julie is a batty boy? Nah, the b*tch won't take it up the exit hole, I've tried slipping it in a few times. Happarently Julie is too nice a girl for batty s*x but she's not too nice for a threesome wiv me mate Dave - it woz wicked! Elton John: Well a lot of women are not keen on anal s*x just as I know some gay men who are not keen on it either. Just because you're gay doesn't mean that you hav

The Ali G movie was not as good, so don't use it as a reference for Ali G (just like the Bean movie was crap compared to his short skits which are brilliant.) And I ahve never heard it being referred to as OJ before.

I have not seen that much of his stuff (or his movie), but I did see the Posh n Becks interview for charity where he ripped them to pieces (all in good comedy humour) - They were both up for it, and I have had a much better impression of them since. In fact, I must admit, I even admire them as people. :omg: Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid? Did you ever say "Ooohhh, shiny red" even once? - Paul Watson 11-February-2003

Roger Allen wrote: They were both up for it, and I have had a much better impression of them since. In fact, I must admit, I even admire them as people LOL, shocking but true. I always gain respect for people, especially famous in the lime light people where image is so important, who can have a laugh at their own expense or who can give as well as they recieve. "Artists" who clam up or get flustered or go all ape on people like Ali G are just screwing themselves over a lot more. Loose what respect I had for them and it also grows a doubt in my mind as to their real talent (can't think on their feat, need all the props, editing and make up crews to pull their talentless acts off.)

Do you remember when Richard Madely did an impression of Ali G ? Here was had a white guy impersonating a Jewish guy impersonating a black guy :laugh: It was so bad it was brilliant ! Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Agreed - also, I suspect that David Beckham does all the daft haircuts etc. to see if people are stupid enough to copy him. They do :eek: Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
