Ali G

Modern—Not the Obvious One
Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedic genius. His recent accolades surround his Borat character. But to see his true talent, you have to check out some of the older YouTube clips of Ali G, the ghetto fabulous news reporter that managed to interview some of the smartest and most well known people on the planet. Borat costumes have been hot since last year’s release of the movie of the same name—show some of that “I knew about him before that” pop culture knowledge. Another helpful hint: Grow your goatee ahead of time so you don’t have to draw it on.

Pull it Off: Wrist bands, sweat suits, stylish sport glasses and cap can all be purchased at your local sporting good store.
