Sunday(Aug.21st) I went and saw a dirty movie.
A very dirty movie.
An, Oh My God! That mime is pretending to fuck a dog, kinda dirty movie.
It was great.
The Aristocrats.
Simple concept to this flick. Penn (from Penn & Teller) and his comedian friend, take a couple of cameras and ask comedians about a joke. A crap load of comedians. That joke being "The Aristocrats."
It goes like this:
A guy walks into an agents office and says "I've got an act for you"
The agent says "Alright, what do you do?"
The guy the proceeds to do the nastiest, dirtiest, and just plain wrong things. This is where the comic gets to come up with whatever his little mind can conjure up.
The agent, after hearing/seeing this routine asks the guy "What do you call yourselves?"
The guy says" The Aristocrats"
I know, I know. It ain't funny.
On paper anyways, but when you hear the comedians going off, look out!
Now if you've read up on this movie at all, you'd know that Penn has been saying that if you're offended by anything, ever, you shouldn't see this movie.
I agree with that statement.
If you aren't easily offended, then go see this movie.
You learn a little about the process of telling jokes and find out that mimes can be funny.
Some of the best versions of the joke come from female comedians, so you can drag your girl to this as well. I would advise against that, unless she has a wickedly dark sense of humour.
IF that ain't enough to sell you, then lemme just say this:
Bob Saget.
Need I say more, not really.
Now just gotta hold out for the dvd.
If you've been keeping track of this streak of movies, this is review 4 of 6.
