That's The Aristocrats as in the movie from Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette, not The Aristocats, the Disney movie. One of those films is incredibly decadent and depraved, while the other is merely about the world's dirtiest joke. The joke has actually been around since vaudeville times, and it is not, in and of itself, a particularly funny joke, but it's definitely a fun joke to tell because it allows for the teller to embellish and stretch the joke out as long as they want. It's been a dirty little secret among comedians for ages. They sit around trying to come up with the grossest, raunchiest version of the gag they can think of, and the movie skips from one comedian to the next as they each put their own unique twist on it. The movie will make its TV debut on HBO this Wednesday, July 26, at 11 p.m.The Aristocrats makes its TV debut

I can not recommend this film any more highly, and I'm not even a big fan of dirty jokes. The spirit of the film and the pleasure the comedians take in being able to just go all out is infectious. I saw this on opening night in a theater in Santa Monica and I missed a lot of material because the audience was laughing so hard and loud.
There is no nudity in this film. There is no violence in this film. There is no blood or gore in this film. And the lesson to be learned is this: There's just words, and words can only hurt those who are willing to let themselves be hurt by words.

". . . The daughter whispers that she doesn't want to get pregnant and the son pulls out a punch card for twenty free abortions that he received from the Democratic National Committee."
