Politics is serious—until the pranksters show up!
Politicians getting pranked is always comedy gold. Picture a senator stepping up to a podium, only to find the mic replaced with a squeaky toy, or a mayor struggling to cut a "ribbon" that's actually a bungee cord. One governor once passionately agreed with a fake donor—only to realize it was a prankster with a voice changer. And who could forget the classic teleprompter swap, where a world leader unknowingly delivers a heartfelt speech about pineapple pizza? Politics may be serious, but every now and then, the universe ensures they don’t take themselves too seriously.
Donald Trump Walks Out of Bizarre Interview with Ali G
- Thursday, 20 February 2003
In a now-iconic moment from Da Ali G Show in 2003, businessman Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who was in character as the satirical persona Ali G. During the segment, Ali G pitched an outlandish business idea: gloves designed specifically for eating ice cream without getting sticky. Trump, appearing visibly unimpressed, cut the interview short and walked out within moments. He later claimed to be the only person who immediately saw through the ruse. However, Baron Cohen has since suggested that Trump was initially fooled by the character before deciding to leave. The brief encounter has become a memorable highlight in the history of Baron Cohen’s comedic stunts.
