Review of The Aristocrats (2005) by Ted S — 02 Sep 2009
A documentary about a very dirty joke told by various comedians, each with their own take, all ending with the same punchline: "The Aristorcrats.".
An interesting look at the world of comedy, how comedians push the boundaries on what is acceptable and a discussion on what is considered taboo.
It all began several years ago as an inside joke between the cast of Saturday Night Live (Chevy Chase, etc.) and was passed around the comedy circuit.
Many entertainers were featured including; Bob Saget of "Full House" fame, who happily shows us a different side of his himself, Paul Reiser. Whoopie Goildberg, Robin Williams and Gilbert Godfrey.
I often preferred the women's versions of the joke (as I didn't find them completely digusting.).
The joke definetly pushed the boundaries of my own comfort level but I still found the concept of the documentary very interesting.
