Ali G
Magee introduced me to Ali G this past week while in Colorado. This has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in ages on Television. (It's on HBO.) I am not going to go into a lot of details of what this show it about, just trust me. Tivo it. Watch it. Laugh. Repeat. For further fun, check out the Ali G translator.

Where I said:
Big up to Sacha Baron Cohen for his DA Ali G SHOW on HBO it's for real wicked aight.
Please pay closer attention to my posts.
You probably didn't read my post about THE OFFICE on BBC AMERICA. Here's the direct link to it:

Just go to your TiVo and record THE OFFICE. You'll thank me later.
Trust me.:grin:

Steve must have read the same NY Times article I did about The Office and Ali G - which prompted me to check out both of them and ultimately introduce Josh and friends to Ali.
I'm watching The Office regularly as well, and I like it a lot, but it is VERY British, both in tone and cultural reference. It isn't as often laugh-out-loud funny as it is awkward funny. Since I grew up for several years in England, it hits home with me, but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work for you when you try it out.

I read the NY Times.
And I love all those British references that I have no idea of what they mean.
I look them up on Google to figure them all out.
