The Aristocrats: Grade B

B

The Aristocrats

100 comedians.

A plethora of comedians take turns telling the world’s dirtiest joke which has the name of the documentary. The joke is really an ad lib story about a family stage act and the point is to make it as filthy, vulgar and obscene as possible, while preserving the comic’s own unique style of story telling. The joke is not funny at all, unless you are nine years old and find poop and fart jokes hilarious. But the comedians are funny, just because they are funny people. Includes Drew Carey, George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Maher, Gilbert Gottfried, Howie Mandel, Bob Sagen, Sarah Silverman, Rita Rudner, the Smothers Brothers, Jon Stewart, and many others. With so many genuinely funny things to talk about, it’s a bit depressing that this joke is considered the pinnacle of inside the industry humor, but at least everyone knows the drill. Rated ‘R’ for Language. I can’t imagine what ‘X’ for Language could possibly be. Reviewed 2/12/06.
