Well, I heard about this movie that Penn & Teller made, The Aristocrats. Apparently it's about a joke that's been told backstage of comedy acts since Vaudeville times. This is not a joke for the faint of heart, to be honest, it's not even for the strong of heart either. I've read that it was told at Hugh Hefner's Birthday party, and has been told even by one of the Smother's Brothers, but never in public, until this movie.

The joke goes something like this, and no way am I gonna write the whole thing, mostly because it's not the details of the joke that make it funny, but the personal delivery of each comedian that tells it.

A man walks into a talent agency and goes directly to speak with the talent agent in charge. He says : "I have the most amazing family act for you, you'll absolutely love it!" The talent agent looks at him and says: "I don't know, family acts are always cutesy, and sometimes boring"

The man: "Seriously you'll love it"

Talent Agent: "Ok, what's it about?"

At this point the man starts describing disgusting, revolting, degrading acts of incest, scat play, golden showers. Vile acts between each of the family members (who vary from telling to telling).

At the end of the telling, the Talent Agent is standing there with his mouth wide open, and finally says: "Oh my God! What do you call the act??"

The man looks at him and answers: "The Aristocrats"


I'm definitely gonna go see the movie, but for those of you who want a preview, there is a hilarious version done by Cartman from South Park here.

Holy Shit!
