All that build up and all that celebrity back slapping, and I didn't even get the punchline.

Thanks for that. Glad to see it's not actually meant to be funny

The film's worth seeing, once.
It is interesting to see how a comedians' in-joke where they try to out-gross each other has spanned so many different generations, nationalities and styles of comic.

Also,
Gottfried having recently been interviewed for the film led directly to his reaching for it when a room full of comics groaned that it was TOO SOON to make a 9/11 joke. Like, really? Have this instead, then. Also explains the can't-believe-he's-doing-this reactions from the comedians, and the totally nonplussed ones from everyone else.

it's in an in-joke among american comedians dating back a few years, where they compete to make it as filthy as possible when they tell it, the punchline is secondary
though in this clip I wish they'd just played Gottfried's bit from start to finish, and had the commentary before or after

Here you are. Video is shit but that doesn't matter.
When a joke works, it works.

Only now I realise…
