Sacha Baron Cohen in 'Ali G: Who Iz I?' YouTube/Amazon MGM Sacha Baron Cohen brings Ali G into the TikTok era in the official trailer for his upcoming movie, Ali G: Who Iz I?
The new clip opens with Baron Cohen’s famous poser character reintroducing himself after 20 long years. “In that time the world went to crap,” he deadpans. “There was Covid. Wars. And Ed Sheeran. But I’s gonna get back on top with a brand new ting called a documentary.”
The clip is stuffed with exactly the kind of nonsense we’ve all come to expect from a Baron Cohen flick. In one scene, a guy walks in on Ali G taking a dump, and Ali convinces him to stick around while he finishes. In another, Ali confuses his partner’s positive pregnancy test for a vape, tries to hit it, and quips, “Taste of piss.”
It also finds Ali G updating his old interview shtick for age of viral videos and podcasts. In one TikTok-style clip, Ali interviews retired Army General C. Stewart Rodeheaver (yes, a real guy) about Iran while subjecting him to ASMR stunts like spraying shaving gel onto the microphones.
