Ali G and Skinheads
July 7th 2006 00:49
Okay so I don’t know how closely connected we can consider Ali G to reggae, but I suppose the Jewish English boy has some Jamaican in his character as Ali G. In the clip below we don’t have the Ali G character, but rather the gay Austrian character taking the piss out of skinheads. Now don’t get me wrong I think the skinhead thing is fantastic – it has a rich connection with reggae music, but I never got this bastardisation, where it became connected with Oi! Music let alone fascist music or some cases both. It is therefore enjoyable to see this bloke take the piss out of some pretty misguided folk. I don’t think it is as humorous as the skits done with the Americans because they tend to show how clueless they can be whereas this skit relies more on misinterpretation.
