I am openly recommending the movie "The Aristocrats".
It was created by Penn Gillette and Paul Provenza. It is about the
filthiest joke in the world. They spoke with nearly 100 comedians and
filmed about 240 hours of footage and edited it down to 89 minutes. It
is vulgar, rude, gross, demented and extremely funny. It is the first
movie I've ever gone to where the girl at the ticket counter said "Do
you know that this movie is extremely vulgar and may be considered
offensive?" ( I responded "I sure hope so...") she then continued that
in understanding that, there would be no refunds for the ticket price.
Then again, I was in Texas when I saw it.
There is no physical violence or sex in the movie
though it is mentioned verbally. So is a lot of other things that would
make your granny blush and your preacher mad. Those who are easily
offended should probably go see something else like a Lindsay Lohan
movie, where you can be offended and have no fun at the same time.
If you have an interest in comics and comedy, this
is a document of some of the greatest minds in the business discussing
what has been an inside joke/ exercise/ challenge since the days of
burlesque.
It is in limited release in art houses. It is a full-on Bitterman pick. Remember, it's only a dirty joke!
