The Aristocrats

Not a huge fan of this film. The joke is not that great, and some of the renditions, George Carlin’s for example, are just so gross and over the line that the idea of flirting with the line is left far behind. The “three missionaries” version was amusing (“But first, the Aristocrats!”). Billy the Mime’s publicly mimed version of the Aristocrats joke was great, however. Inured to the horrors of the joke by so many retellings at that point, I couldn’t stop laughing at this sketch. By the time he got to the dog, I was literally on the floor holding my sides.
