The Aristocrats (2005)

This is a fairly straightforward documentary film about (supposedly) the “dirtiest joke ever told”. Although I’ve been accused of having no sense of humor, I actually like funny jokes a lot. I also like dissecting jokes to see exactly why they are funny, which I guess is actually not so funny. Anyway I really enjoyed watching this film because it gives the viewer lots to think about how funny ‘works’. The performances and analysis provided by the many comedians in this documentary are also very good. Tip: Don’t watch this is you’re easily offended by words like “shit”.
