You gotta do the Borat movies. "Very nice"

Fordy7169

Mike, that Supergrass track Sun Hits The Sky is on the CD I sent you.

Karl Devereux

Love you two...be gone the victim, Genocide monsters...

Paul CF

Yeah the UK ones are a mixed bag, probably a mix of him perfecting the character and British interviewees being more willing to have a laugh at the absurdity than the American ones.

They've got a new Mitchell and Webb sketch show about to start (Fri 5th Sept). Definitely worth a watch, see what it's like.

RegenerationNationTV

I thought of my dad. Born in 55 and would've never watched this in a million years

Vic

Shame that blatant, unrepentant antisemitism made it into the comments of such open minded, cheerful reactors.

Kippa

The best part for me was the wine drinking with those posh people. I recently watched a video with SBC talking about recording these scenes and he said he was completely smashed throughout 😆 Borat is a comical genius!

Mark Rudd

20:05 is perfect. When the guy says that was the toughest question he was ever asked by his professor. Knowing that Ali g (SBC) is a genius who’s highly educated 😆 just shows how clever he really is to ask that in a comical way and for it to be taken as the only serious question

Emma Edwards

You guys have to watch the Borat film. You enjoyed that little clip of him so much, how about 90 mins of it?! 😂

steven bell

you need to watch the movie after this :D ( Tim from the office aka bilbo Baggins is in it)

Daz Parker

Hahaha brilliant reaction guys. My dad was born in the 50's (1953) ad he loved Ali G - although it did take a bit of handholding him through from me and my brother some of the language slang used and what it meant

Theloyalmuppet

Brilliant!

Jack Veazey

Christ, Lighten up..........

Katherine Constable

I've loved all of the shows that you have reacted to so far but this one is horrible. Cohen makes my skin crawl, and I don't mean just this character but the man himself.

Mark R

It's just pure comedy gold 🤣

Paul John Jeffs

Holy fuck, 10 seconds in and I'm wheezing at Jess saying "bomboclaat". Lived in London my whole life, grew up making jokes about words like bombaclaat, never thought I'd hear it parodied by an unassuming white mother from rural America.

Chris Brierley

If you get to his Bruno character and the subsequent Bruno movie, poor Jess will want the floor to swallow her up. Absolute cringe central 😂

Billy

BORAT, BRUNO, ALI G, BRUNO on Daytona beach with the wrestlers is funny as feck

Frankiefranks 1

Throw back. The 11 o'clock show ended up making half your reactions lol Ali g, Ricky gervais, the writers of the inbetweenrs. Who Ricky went on to name 2 characters after in extras

Dave Henshall

Booyakasha! Love this bit of nostalgia of when channel 4 made funny stuff

Erica

The good old days 🤣

MarkCity10

Man this is nostalgic! This show was so ridiculous, I loved it! I forgot all about DJ Daforce 🤣

Δ Tessellate

Def worth a watch! esp. if you ever wanted to see Tywin Lannister in a miniskirt

Demceez

Mans chatting like people want to here his contrarianism. If you don't like it then don't watch mate.. easy pz

Josh Read

If Mike dresses up as characters don't let him watch borat. There is something green in that that may take his fancy

Jack Veazey

Ali G is such a better character!

Jack Veazey

Brilliant 😂🤣🤣

Gary

The show was funny at the time, especially with a smoke. Hasn't aged great for me, like great comedies do, bit childish . Man's a complete twat in reality also. Passes 30 minutes though so thanx.

Paul

Channel 4 was ahead of its time 😂😂😂

Bikeaholic

Plenty of people born in the 1950s and even the 1940s watched the Ali G show when it first aired.

Gerard McCartan

Best Borat clips. The movies was over the top americanised too hyper borat. The original borat style he did was GENIUS

Simon Cross

Ali G and Borat are very funny, but Bruno is next level madness!

Tom

Channel 4 is publicly-owned like the BBC, but not funded by the licence fee. It generates its own income via commercials. One of its most-watched shows is Gogglebox where couples react to TV shows in the comfort of their homes. Now there’s a thing. Maybe you could react to the reactors.

Tim

If you were shocked by that scene in Peep Show - you would never recover from the Borat movie 😂

BrizeeB

Brilliant reaction, not seen this since it was aired, great to relive

Julian

Wow this is a time capsule. I looked up the episodes to remind myself what’s coming up and omg it’s all coming flooding back. The Ali G movie is after S1. Then S2 and S3 are filmed in the USA, that’s where some of the best clips are. You should definitely do the Borat movies afterwards too (there are 2).

Aaron Page

I think the first sketches he did on the 11 O’clock show were funnier, as they were more raw as nobody knew who he was then. It would be worth checking out the 11 O’clock show just to see a young Ricky Gervais!

Mark E

You should react to borat. He is brilliant 🤣 The film will have you in stitches, it has a storyline with actors, but along the way he does his usual piss taking, oh and it is in america 🤣

Tom

I was born in 1957 and Ali G was right up my street from the get-go. I still find him hilarious. But then again, Brits grew up on this irreverent humour, starting with John Cleese’s Monty Python and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in the late 60s. My parents let me watch that when I was still at primary school. Mike and Jess, you are in for a hell of a ride with the full Sacha Baron Cohen catalogue. This was tame by comparison with some of the stuff he gets up to. Genius.

Schpleeb

Both Borat movies are utterly ridiculous in the best possible way

mark

i miss when channel 4 made comedy .

ElvisLee

He also did a very funny film called Bruno, but I reckon Jess would need therapy after that one.

Schpleeb

"He's just so proper and he's being subjected to this persona" - oh yes and that is the heartbeat of most episodes 😊 it's been so long since I've seen this show I can't wait to see it all again with you guys

Chris Garratt

Please do a Borat movie reaction ✌️

Paul08031977

I'd say, the less you know about Neil Hamilton, the better!

Tracey Duncan

If you get a chance please try and watch who is America … most of the clips are on you tube but it’s sacha baron cohen again … watch him with OJ Simpson … you won’t believe the things his character says to him … it’s hilarious

CONALL MCLAUGHLIN

Ali g is amazing but borat is next level hilarious

James Welsh

Mike loving the look, hopefully I'll see you in a fubu hat before the seasons out 😂👍

James Welsh

Thats a good shout, that was hilarious.

Dan G, Leicester

There you go Mike - Sun Hits The Sky added to the RNTV Music playlist so you can enjoy it in full.

TheHigh

Booyakasha! so excited for these 👍 the movie is genuinely a good movie as well , all be it low budget silliness , still a good one👍

Jimmy Sandwiches

Borat just gets better, also has a movie which is well worth a watch

Simon Cross

The distinguised English gentleman had the best afternoon of his life!

Paul Baker

There’s a movie called Ali G in da house

Jamie

This holds up surprisingly well. I like Sacha barely keeping it together at times, so near to breaking

Jamie

No it doesn't. It's just an expletive related to women's periods.

zStarr

Si

Defs need to put Supergrass on the music list. Brilliant band.

Rob Pontin

I remember watching this when it came out, the headers and volleys part made me laugh so much, also thank you had good shit

Paul Archibald

Superb. Loved that.

Col Boro

You’re right, Mike. The Sun hits the sky by supergrass is a great tune They’re one of my favourite bands from the 90s give them a listen.

Col Boro

Good evening emma We have so many amazing comedies and these guys would love all of them

Jue H

Not seen these since they were live on TV. Great to see them again. It’s absolutely nuts 😂😂

Col Boro

That was a good laugh guys. Great reaction.in the future. If you do a music reaction you should do supergrass they are cool band .

Kieran B

This was iconic when I was in my teens

Jamie

What's heavier, Limmy?

zStarr

Oh babyyyyyyyy, what a nostalgic throwback, I remember all the kids at school acting like Ali g

Mark Rudd

Especially the police academy 😆

Mark Rudd

Wicked

Emma Edwards

I used to love Ali G so I’m looking forward to starting this. When you run out of Ali G and Cunk, it might be a good idea to keep the Mondays for prank / sketch shows. We have soooo many, most are hilarious and and they’ll keep you busy for ages. Some suggestions are Fonejacker and Trigger Happy (both prank type shows and really funny) and we also have loads of sketch shows like The Catherine Tate Show, Fast Show, Harry Enfield & Chums, and Little Britain.

Karlos

I'm just watching the reaction now, so don't know if you mention it. But Sacha Baron Cohen is ridiculously smart. Obviously he's Borat, and others. But as Ali G he was a phenomenon in the UK back in the day. But yeah, he's a really intelligent guy. EDIT: You did mention it. I should hold my comments until the end. ha

Kevin Duke

You should watch - "Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G) Class Day | Harvard Commencement 2004"

Mark

Anytime time you watch Ali G, you can see him trying not to laugh so often 😂

Nathalie Grainger Bradbury

Channel 4 are quite avant-garde.

RegenerationNationTV

Don't she though 😍

JEFF!?!

This is the show that started shows like Cunk, with comedy actors giving stupid interviews to real people and making them think its a real interview.

Col Boro

Channel 4 did used to be like really experimental and would put things on other channels wouldn’t do especially for the younger generation.

Nathalie Grainger Bradbury

Ali G totally sends up the whole rap movement. Brilliant.

Mark Rudd

Holy sheeeett been waiting for this. I hope you get yea playing a character of what some of the youth was like growing up back then haha. White kids talking black and acting gangsta 😆 sasha portraits it brilliantly and funny. Loved the Ali g show and still do to this day
