Why We Rated This for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  While the show has plenty of crude humor, it also serves as a unique kind of social commentary about U.S. politics and culture. The characters' "mock" interviews may strike some people as unethical, but it's all done in the name of humor.
• Violence:

  Ali G tries to present himself as a West London "gangsta," but in reality he's pretty peace loving. The show itself isn't violent, but there are some discussions of violence, including conversations about capital punishment, domestic violence, and war.
• Sex:

  Ali G's naked butt is visible at the opening of each episode. Full-frontal nudity (male and female) is briefly visible in various segments, including a photograph of a woman exposing her vagina. The series also has lots of strong sexual references, including descriptions and discussions of various sexual acts.
• Language:

  Frequent use of strong curse words, including various incarnations of "f--k," "c--k," and "s--t." Sexist vernacular ("bitches," "hos") and racial slurs, too.
• Consumerism:

  Ali G wears lots of bling and conspicuously branded clothing (particularly Tommy Hilfiger), and Bruno is pretty materialistic.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Adults smoke and drink in some segments. Includes discussions and descriptive images of illegal drugs.
