Fucking hilarious!!! It is a laugh riot. Ok, well you have to be akin to Sasha Baron Cohen’s ultimate idiot faux gansta, Ali G. Well, maybe not, because it is so stupid that it is brilliant.
Most American’s know Ali G for his two years on HBO. Some know that he was a big hit in England before that. In fact, most of the jokes on the American Ali G show are right off the British version.
Ali G in Da House was not released in America. I saw it on DVD, on a vacation to London in 2002. It was released here after Ali G gained popularity and now is available on DVD.
It starts out with Ali G in an East L.A. gang war. He is caught up defending two Mexican woman, who he speaks French to. He saves a little Mexican boy, and tells him that “life is the greatest thing that Jah has given us.” Then he wakes up.
He lives with his grandmother in an upper middle class neighborhood in suburban England. He calls the local police force the LAPD, while he jams out to reggae. He has his name on his car above the drivers seat and “Me Bitch” written on the passenger seat.
Ali is the head of the “West Staines Massive,” his gang, which includes him and British comedian from the UK "The Office", Martin Freeman; plus some other guy. They are combated by the “East Staines Massive;” a rival gang. Think of the Bloods and the Cripes, if they were on the Disney channel.
Ali’s job, if he actually gets paid, is to terrorize small suburban kids into thinking that they will be fighting the next gang war. Maybe he actually believes "South Central" England will arrive any minute- it’s just funny.
The community center, which he works at, is going to be torn down. Now, Ali G has to do something about that in a more gansta way. So, he runs for Parliament, and has the best time, until he is confronted by an enemy that is “eviler than Skelator.”
There are plenty of bad words, sexual references and potty humor. It’s great.
