Becks and Posh
The phenomenon that is David Beckham and his wife, ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) is something that is endlessly entertaining to me. More entertaining is their interview with Ali G. There's nothing like the sight of an athlete trying to match wits with a comedian, it's like watching a chimp trying to derive Maxwell's equations from first principles.
The other part I loved was the way that conversation with Ali G drew Posh into less than posh diction. Wonderful! It's a study in how far apples fall from trees, to wit: not far. Hilarious!

“Beckham, you telling me you ain't never been caught offsides?”
I've seen a lot of Ali G material, and this interview is probably the best. Usually his ignorance is what makes his jokes funny, but he's on the offensive in this one. Booyakasha!

Yeah I think the ignorance is mostly for the US market whereas in the UK he is a part of the culture. It's gold, man, gold.
