>He's making fun of people's fears.
I must've missed that facet in 'Da Ali G Show'. Aside from the occasional accidentally poignant political interview, he mostly just made fun of people who were similar to his character, and the trope of British 'chavs'.
>His movies are ridiculous social commentary.
I agree, but much like Michael Moore, the ridiculousness of your person limits your credibility in 'Real Life' at a certain point.
- mola 7y agoAli g was full of social commentary of the type that culminated with the Borat movie. You must also take into account that that show was some time ago, his awareness and opinions might have changed since His current stuff mostly deals with mocking late capitalism ridiculousness. Micheal Moore is another beast, he uses propaganda techniques to get his point across. He 'sins' in the same way his targets do. Cohen uses, supposedly, inferior slapstick humor to build very poingent satire about racism consumerism bro culture fakeness etc.
