If you thought a documentary about a joke wouldn't make a good documentary, you would be sorely wrong, asshat. The Aristocrats (and I'm glad I'm not the only person that has wrongly called this film The Aristocats, as many comedians in the film point out) tells the story of probably the dirtiest joke you've never heard, and will probably never forget after watching this glorious piece of shit-eating, pedophilic rape, and incest.

The joke itself is mostly improv and changes according to whose telling it; the only thing that remains the same is the setup and the punchline. I really don't know where to go with this review because the whole film is just the same joke said over and over again and differently each time by different people. My favorite renditions have to be by George Carlin, Bob Saget, Eric Cartman (yes, the kids from South Park do make an appearance), and Carrie Fisher, although all of them are enough to, well, you did read my headline ... I will say my favorite rendition was probably by Billy The Mime. There are no words to describe it. Seriously. There were no words. He's a mime, fuckwad.

It was nice to see Wendy Liebman, who is probably my favorite Jewess comedian and who I thought fell off the face of the planet. Sarah Silverman's account of her being an "aristocrat" is pretty priceless, as is Andy Dick's version, because, you know, I'm a sucker for Hitler. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I have to watch this film again because it was fucking up at the Dobie (e.g., sound was turning off, sound was very low or inaudible at many points), so I missed some of the jokes. But there was so much going on and so much laughter, this is a film I'll probably be watching more than once and will probably purchase when that is possible.

So if you like incest, Hitler, rape, incestous rape, fisting, scat, gold showers, and other such in your humor, then this movie is perfect for you. I really have nothign else to say on the matter except go watch this documentary. You will not regret it. Watch it repeatedly. That is all.
