Ali G is very much the man of the moment. His film In da House is doing surprisingly well in a country which has seen nothing of his work except for a single series shown twice on the ABC late at night. Despite this, Ali G seems quite well known and appreciated by many Australians who like his style of humour. What is his style? Ali G is a street-savvy gangsta rapper from the hoods of Berkshire. He speaks in his own gangsta-style dialect and dresses in the very latest of up-market 'tracksuits' heavily accessorized with gold and sports a pair of street-smart yellow sunglasses popular with 'da brothers'. Of course, anyone familiar with England will know that Berkshire or Staines is not in fact a dangerous hood or breeding ground for gangster warfare and violence. Many have criticized Ali G's humour for being focused on the area between the waist and the knee. This is to a large extent true. However, Ali G's humour is much more than that. He likes interviewing important and influential people in society as someone representing 'youth' and more particularly - youth seeking 'answers'. The people he interviews or is involved in a group discussion with think he is serious in his dialogue with them. They accept his outlandish garb and statements thinking he is merely representative of his audience and their own unfamiliarity with his hip audience and their ways should not affect the message they themselves are trying to present. Of course, Ali is just having fun with them. Much of his humour arises from seeing respected people, experts in their field, astonished by the crazy inappropriate ideas and arguments that Ali is baiting them with.
