Sacha Baron Cohen's New Ali G Movie Slammed as Racist by Activists

"I thought I'd play it safe and bring this guy back," wrote Cohen about the upcoming 'Ali G: Who Iz I?' mockumentary, which is facing rising uproar.

    Ah yes, racist humor for liberals from the 2000s. Color me surprised that this piece of shit felt that it was finally time to bring this garbage back.

    Cohen seems to have anticipated the backlash. When he posted the trailer on X, he wrote: “In an age where a comedian’s career can be ended by a single un-PC joke, I thought I’d play it safe and bring this guy back.”

    jagoff

    Though even that sentiment feels about five years out of date — a single un-PC joke doesn’t exactly end careers anymore, as several edge-lord comedians like Dave Chappelle can attest.

        I’d add CW for homophobia too. It didn’t bother me that much, I’m not really who the CWs are for when it comes to this site, but there is a homophobic bit in there
