Anyone see this flick? It's about the dirtiest joke in the world. Hilarious! I'm not sure I'm crazy about the frenetic cutting back and forth between talking heads, but the comedians and their tellings of the joke are classic.

You no likey? I thought it was great. I don't think the joke itself is funny, but it was great to get an insight into the different ways of telling a joke, and what comedians think they're doing when they're being "funny".

Haven't seen it except for the trailers. Just not interested in comedies about comedians.

It's not exactly a comedy, and it's not exactly about comedians either. It's more of a documentary on the joke, with comedians bearing witness to the telling of the joke, providing their interpretations of the what/why of the joke, sometimes their own versions, etc... The aim of the movie is definitely to make you laugh, fo' sho', but with a little bit of thinking and reflection thrown in for good measure.

I'll wait for it to hit HBO.

They are not worth the $$ to see it at the theater. Plus most comedies are way to formulaic. I don't mind watching them, but I don't want to pay big bucks to see them.

I can't wait for it to come to the theatres here!

I love comedy, especially stand up.

Finally! Someone with a lack of taste on the same planet as me. It's a hell of a good time, shav. You'll love it.
