This is a classic that you may not have seen if you are only familiar with the HBO version of the Ali G show. In college, when I was stupid enough to waste my student loan disbursement checks on long weekend trips from Texas to the Midlands (Stoke-on-Trent stand up!), I would spend hours on the floor of my stoner mates squalid dorm room watching this clown. This was probably a good 4 years before he hit HBO (and light years before the Borat notoriety).
This interview with the royal family of Chav-a-lot is probably the high mark of the U.K. series. Right from the get-go Ali is holding no punches; within 30 seconds he has called Posh 'scary' and told David that even though it's a comedy show there is no need to use the silly voice. Within 4 minutes he has asked Victoria if she lets David in through "the back door". And no, they are not discussing entry routes into Beckingham Palace....they're talking about ass people.
Wake up and get your minds back in the gutter!

Great link. I'd never laughed at Ali before.
Funny, but by this point everyone was in on the joke. Now, the episode when he tours the Welsh coal mine, and upon seeing pics of miners' faces covered in soot, suggests to the guide that "its a bit racialist to make the brothers do all the hard labour"...classic.
