The Aristocrates

How many times can you hear the same joke?

For those of you who don’t know, the Aristocrats joke has been around for years but you’ll rarely hear it being told onstage. It’s a joke told by comedians to comedians. The reason? Well it’s as dirty a joke, as you’re ever likely to hear.

Watching 100 comics perform the same joke over and over again, may sound like it gets little tiresome and to begin with it does. But stick with the film and about halfway you start to realise that the enjoyment isn’t from the joke but from watching the performers try to out do each other. Nearly ever famous comic is in here but a special mention must go to the South Park kids; my favourite version by far.

If you can stand the filth and there’s a lot of it, maybe you’ll like this.

An interesting insight into the backstage antics of the world of comedy.
