Aristocrats

It you haven't seen the Aristocrats ... well, consider it. It's a hellaciously good time as long as you have a sense of humor that knows no bounds but if there's a budding puritan inside you you'll leave in the first fifteen minutes (as many did).

It's a romp though the basest parts of the human sense of humor and, in the end, shows just how desensitized we've become to some things ... or think we have.

bq. "I saw two priests at a bar and I didn't know if I should give them a drink or a Boy Scout..."

The point of the show is a joke. A single joke. This joke, however, is always improv, is always different, and is easily bombed. It can be five minutes, fifty minutes, or five hours, but it ends with the same phrase: "The Aristocrats!"

If you saw Gilbert Godfrey at Hugh Hefner's roast then you know the joke, and you know how painfully funny the movie is (it's in there as well). Go see it ... unless you have a problem controlling your inner puritan. Smiling
