The Jolly Boys' Last Stand, his debut film, and Da Ali G Show were both released in 2000.

Three movies were inspired by Da Ali G Show: Brüno (2009), Borat (2006), and Ali G Indahouse (2002). Borat made $262 million globally and took home multiple awards.

In Baron Cohen's 2012 movie, The Dictator, Cohen played the dictator Admiral General Aladeen of the Republic of Wadiya, a fictitious country. At the time the film was written, Muammar Gaddafi, the ruler of Libya, was the primary subject of its satire. Fearing that it would infuriate Gaddafi and potentially spark a terrorist attack, the movie's makers purposefully spread false information claiming that the movie was partially based on a romantic novel by Saddam Hussein, the previous dictator of Iraq.
