When Ali says 'do an E' rather than the Welsh for I am or I like- he is referencing taking Ecstasy, so he loses it when she says Mr Bean do an E

Remember watching this on the 11 O Clock show in the 90's stoned,never laughed so much in my life

[@satyb]

Ali G was a precursor to Borat where part of the concept is how far he can get a person to accept his behaviour as normal for his culture and if they can keep their patience. A great one to see is with Tony Benn.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Not really, as almost everyone got Ali was a gag. An Australian comedian in the 70's had a character called Norman Gunston that would do the same thing, only he would crash public interviews with stars and ask then dumb questions. His most famous bit was when Keith Moon poured a bottle of something over him.

[@satyb]

@@CheepchipsableMaybe by the time the clips were aired they knew what he was but not at the time. I remember seeing a Q&A of Ali G in a newspaper and could not belive that such a person merited an interview. Next thing you'll be telling me that Crocodile Dundee isn't real either.

Only about 1/3 of welsh population support independence so it’s not very popular atm. We do have a Welsh Assembly called the Senedd where some powers have been devolved such as health and transport. This is an old video so he is referring to the time that happened.

[@MLVL312]

22% i think.

[@davidowen2396]

Welsh Parliament/Government called the Senedd

[@garethm3242]

This ties in with an observation King Boomer made recently on another recent video - how Welsh and English people tend to have much lighter, inoffensive banter with eachother on e.g. his live streams, compared to many Scottish vs English or (in my geographical context) Irish vs English conversations and how they can end up. It's because there's a less politically charged beef against The English historically. With The English as the invading colonial powers, still very much affecting the everyday lives and recent family history in the two more northern nations. I'd also like to add that I lived in England and enjoyed the culture there. And the humour is world class.

[@hypramgeth7449]

Yeah at that time I remember it being called "Ex" on US TV, which always felt cringe to me. Like, it doesn't even hide it from people who overheard it, which was surely the original point of abbreviating to a single letter (which must've lasted like 10 minutes but still). The "X" sound made it extremely obvious and cringe.

The premise of this is that Wales got a devolved Assembly in 1999, so it has more self-government over domestic things like health and transport than before.

The song wasn't their National Anthem. The Welsh have one of the best National Anthems and it's sung in the Welsh language too. Take a look at it being sung at the Principality Stadium, just prior to the start of a Rugby match. Preferably before they play we English at Rugby, as they tend to put even more emotion into it then?

[@belperite]

[@df9177]

Sasha Baron Cohen’s is half Welsh. His grandfather was born in Pontypridd, the same place that the legend that is Tom Jones is from, but his father moved to England before Sasha Baron Cohen’s was born. His mother owned a very well known shop in Cardiff called Calders which shut about 10 years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if Sasha knew some of the words the lady was telling him in the clip, even if he doesn't speak the language. Maybe it's the reason he was cracking up as it reminded him of what he remembers from when he was younger.

[@toshe.6690]

You will love Wales. I lived in Chester just on the English side of the border but spent as much time in Wales as I could. Llangollen, Bets Y Coed, Carnarvon castle viewed at night from the Menai Straits on a boat, Snowdonia national park. Chester is so full of history from Roman remains, to the ancient walls around it, to the amazing shopping Rows. It’s a good place to start before heading into Wales proper. So many stunning sights when you get the opportunity to come…you will be most welcome!😊

[@rhysparry6271]

Yes. We have our own parliament like Scotland. It's called Senedd Cymru(Welsh Parliament). The double ll s a unique sound, not a c or k. Twin Town is good. The anthem of Wales is 'Mae hen wlad fy nhadau'. The only anthem not in English on the British isles. Ireland, England and Scotland haves English language anthems.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

The "LL" in Welsh is pronounced like this (or close enough): "Thl" followed by the vowel. So, the town where my mother grew up, Llanelli, in West Wales, would be pronounced something like "Thlanethli". You visit Wales and say that right off, and you'll be regarded as something approaching a hero. The problem is (and it's worse with the Irish language, which is a distant relative of Welsh) that Welsh is a descendant of an ancient, pre-Roman language (Brythonic) which was never written down and so has no alphabet. So when the Welsh language revival began after WW2, the English alphabet was sort of tacked on to it (a sub-optimal but convenient solution) so that it could be represented in written form. That's why it is so hard for people who haven't ever had a reason to learn the language to make any sense of it when it's written down! But the language is actually not that hard to learn. Honest!

[@samstvshow]

Yeah it's the one time he cracked. Welcome to Wales. It's just how it is. It's a beaut.

He cracked during the Business Ideas bit, when trying to sell the 'hoverboard' and when at the Bowls Club as Borat.

02:08 in 1999 Wales got its own parliament like Scotland and Northern Ireland. It’s funny because technically under international law of the four countries that make up the U.K. England is the only one that technically cannot be classified as a country, as unlike the other countries, England doesn’t have its own parliament and government. The parliament at Westminster is for the U.K. as a whole, not England alone. So Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all legally countries but England is not! 😂

You will love Wales. If you can just manage say ‘hello’, ‘thank you very much’ and ‘’how are you?’ then you should get by just fine. There is a difference in dialects but they all understand each other and they’ll be grateful that you made the effort! 😉 The ‘LL’ sound is produced by sort of stopping halfway through making a normal ‘L’ sound but you keep your tongue touching the roof of your mouth and blow through your mouth.

The National anthem big (not sure if it is or not) can relate to some of his TV series. At the end of the show he has a band/singer on to do one of their songs. At the beginning of the song you know the song, but gradually he cuts in with a DJ part, by the end you cannot even recognise the song as his music is just blaring over the other original song.

Ali G was on tv in the mid 90’s but “Dey is always banging on about a devolution”.
