What do you call that show??
Man, saw The Aristocracts last night, and man, I didn't think I could ever hear such words in the cinema. It's basically a role call of famous comics and Billy Connolly telling the same joke:
A man walks into a producers office and tells the man "I've got the greatest act you'll ever see". So the producers asks to hear what the act is and the man says "Well, I walk on stage..."
The middle section is filled with as many references to wives, children, babies, shit, dogs, cum, rimming, erections, blood, vomit, scatology and.. Well, you get the picture.
After describing the most horrific stage show possible, the producer asks "My God, what do you call an act like that!?" To which our main man replies, "The Aristocrats!".
Genius.
Gilbert Gottfried steals the show, telling the joke at Hugh Heffners Friars Roast in New York just three weeks after 11/9. This is of course he voiced concern to his flight having a route planned via The Empire State Building, a joke prompting a call of "Too soon!" from the audience.
I saw this a bit late, but found out at the end of the credits (You always have to wait till the end of the credits when seeing a movie at the cinema, you never know what you might miss) that there was a compition to get your own rendition of the joke included on the DVD release. Alas, closing date was September 30th, my comedy break thru has been prosponed.
