WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALI G.?

TJL · 05-22-2003, 03:38 PM

I did see an episode of Ali G, and I just didn't find it funny. I'm not really a fan of these hidden camera shows, like "Jamie Kennedy Experiment" or Ali G. I just don't get what's so funny about making a fool out of some unsuspecting stranger.

I haven't seen it, but I agree with TJL - those "hidden camera" shows aren't really that great.

I like Punk'd because it's celebrities but the others aren't so great.

I like 'Punk'd' but the others like Jamie Kennedy are irritating.

I've never seen ALi G, but personally I think all these hidden camera shows are being overrated. I give Punk'd 2 thumbs up because those are celebrities and it show's just how dumb they really are (lol).

yes. overrated. You only have one person trying to be funny and its hard when the other party is trying to be dead serious. I read that certain groups say he is making fun of west indian people with his speech pattern.

I hate Punk'd. MTV airs each episode like 20 times a week. It gets really old after seeing it so many times.
