Super Greg
Super Greg is a fictional DJ created by copywriter Linus Karlsson and creative director Paul Malmström for the Minneapolis advertising agency Fallon McElligott as part of a viral marketing campaign for American jeans company, Lee Jeans in 1999.[1][2] The campaign launched with a one-page website (www.supergreg.com)[3] and culminated in a TV commercial where Super Greg has a showdown with Lee's mascot, Buddy Lee.
Super Greg was portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen.[4] Cohen's own Ali G character bears a striking resemblance to Super Greg.
