who are we? THE ARISTOCRATS
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)
I might have laughed once at a bit in he extra features. I still liked it though.
Funny, disgusting, then more funny. 80 great comedians telling the same joke and discussing the evolution of comedy.
A documentary on a very VULGAR "inside joke". It's not really even a joke, it's just saying the most vile and shocking thing you can think of and seeing how far you can push it before you deliver the "punchline". For me, it was mildly amusing, only because this kind of repugnant ...( read more)
If you like your laughs ultra-blue, this is for you. Leading American comics compete in telling the same gag in the most brutal way. Watching these guys demonstrate their craft is fascinating. Cult status assured!
this really does show how the person telling the joke determines whether or not it will actually be funny...so, depending on who was on screen at the moment, i liked and disliked this one.
I couldn't even make it through the whole thing. I KNOW it's a bout a dirty joke by holy crap!
Literally, the dirtiest/funniest comedy you've ever heard. An all-star cast of great actors and comedians.
God, but even sayin the sayin the name correctly is difficult. this is the first time i've seen it since it originally came out and while it's still shockingly disturbing and brilliant i feel its lost some of its pazazz through time. watched it woth the ladyfriend and she found t...( read more)
Documental sobre un chiste pronunciado en los burdeles en EU, esta muy bueno sobre todo a los que no teníamos idea de este chiste.
Mother!
This documentary is effin hilarious. Make sure your wathing this solo some cant hack the ourageousness!
Between all the poop, incest and skull penetration (!?), this movie assured me that there will always be someone to laugh when you go too far. My favorite segment was a tie between George Carlin's bit and the South Park piece.
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)
Hilarious! I love this joke, and I love the way everyone can tell it differntly.
This is the second movie in my time that i have turned off. I have watched some B grade shows Heck Ive watched Z grade ones But this was horrible< terrible, stupid, more vulgar then needed and just a waste of talants, time, film, and money. FLIX needs a - (negative) rating system.
see my edited version - not cleaner, just shorter. say yes yes yes, and it's The Matrix, mind-blowing energy-opening. It just might change your life.
This is filthy, but hilarious. Definately NOT appropriate for younger viewers.
Just a vulgar film that drags on and on and gets nowhere plot-wise. I just could not get involved with what was going on. Some real great comedians in this though, I must say.
this contains some of the worst things I have ever heard in my life... I like it!
And the joke goes on...and on...and on...
It was great to see so many of my favorite comedians in one project; but 1) the joke was not very funny and 2) the film was about 80 minutes too long.
This movie is a classic in its own right for getting all these comics in one film telling a hilarious inside joke.
I just don't get it.. yeah I get the joke, just not the movie - that it could be all about the same joke.. I had a very short attention span with this one, couldn't watch the whole thing.
I'd wanted to see this for ages. I knew and understood the premise and figured it would be amazingly funny or at the least interesting. I didn't find it to be either one. It was disjointed and not that amusing.
DESPITE WHAT PENN TELLS YOU 50 TIMES IN THIS MOVIE YOU CAN'T TELL A JOKES 50 TIMES IN ONE MOVIE AND THINK IT WILL STILL BE FUNNY.....THIS MOVIE SUCKED
while the joke itself isnt that great...this film about it is quite entertaining
