Spyz (2003)

Curiosità

Alistair Leslie Graham, commonly known as Ali G, is a satirical fictional character created and performed by English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Ali G is a white, middle-class, faux-streetwise poseur from Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, England. The character speaks in rude boy–style Multicultural London English. He usually conducts interviews with unsuspecting subjects who do not realise they have been set up.

Development

Ali G is a fictional stereotype of an English suburban male "chav" also known as Alistair; who imitates inner-city urban British hip-hop culture and British Jamaican culture, particularly through hip-hop, reggae, drum and bass, and jungle music, as well as speaking in rude boy–style Multicultural London English from Jamaican Patois. Ali G was part of a group called the "West Staines Massiv", and grew up near Staines in Langley.

Baron Cohen has stated that BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood was an influence on the development of his character. Westwood used to host Radio 1's Rap Show and became known for speaking in a Multicultural London English dialect. Ali G's middle-class credentials mirror Westwood's, as the latter was brought up in Lowestoft as a bishop's son.
