I think that Sacha Baron Cohen is a brilliant comedian. Many people find him disgustingly offensive, especially after the runaway box-office smash Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and still others just think his bizarre antics aren't funny. Borat was an equal-opportunity-offender, criticizing Americans from all different walks of life. Personally, I found the satirical film offensive and hilarious. Two thumbs up.
Sacha Baron Cohen first gained fame as alter-ego Ali G, and I think his earlier interviews on Da Ali G Show are among his best work. If you aren't familiar with his stuff (and aren't easily offended), definitely check it out.
Because it is Friday I thought I'd lighten up a bit with some comic relief. Below is Ali G interviewing Dr. Noam Chomsky, distinguished professor of linguistics, on language. I'd personally like to know whether Dr. Chomsky was in on the joke, though it's quite hilarious either way. Enjoy!
