Went and saw "The Aristocrats"...

... and I nearly pissed myself laughing. Actually I nearly threw up from some of the jokes told. It was a rollercoaster of emotions which I would highly recommend to any fan of stand-up comedy. My favourite versions of joke are the ones told by Bob Saget, Sarah Silverman, Andy Dick and Steven Wright.

In case you don't know what "The Aristocrats" is, it's a joke within showbiz which is told between professional comedians. Everyone within the business knows the joke but everyone has their own twist to it. The joke is three parts:

1) A man walks into a talent agent's office and says, "Have I got an act for you! It's a family act". To which the agent replies, "Tell me about it"...

2) Fill in this part with the most disgusting descriptions of incest, bestiality, scatology, pornography, etc. etc.

3) The agent stands stunned and says, "that's the most horrible thing I've ever heard of. What do you call this act?" "The Aristocrats!"

I know what you're thinking, the joke isn't funny at all nor does it make any sense. But therein lies the beauty. This particular inside joke is not about the song but about the singer. I won't even try to explain it further, just go see the damn movie. Five stars from me for hilarity, originality and also getting an up-close look at the depraved minds of professional comedians.

I've heard of it and I am a fan of Stand up comedy (all hail the late great Bill Hicks).

I heard Carlin is in it. I like him.
It would be good if it got released over here, but we'll be lucky...
