    A million Comedians. One joke. No laughs.

    not just a funny film, but an effective documentary as well, this film explores aspects of not only comedy and the comedian's life, it holds a mirror up to society and asks "what's your limit?". The DVD extras are essentially extensions to the film; plenty of interviews to make t...( read more)his a worthwhile rent or buy.

    George Carlin told it the best in my book. The first hour I couldn't stop laughing, after that it sort of fizzles, but still well worth it.

    Glad I saw this. Now I don't have to concern myself with it anymore. A big deal over a dirty joke with unnecessary embellishment. Zzzzzz.

    How they made a full-length movie out of this material I will never, ever know. I think just as much could have been said in a 30-minute HBO special. It was pretty funny though. Whoopie Goldberg was my favorite.

    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 cons...( read more)idered 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.

    The "joke" isn't funny, but the film is anyway.
