The Aristocrats: Redux
OK, so to try to turn this into a story.

I mentioned last QOTW that I am an improvisor. I am also a huge comedy geek, I love watching it, studying, analysing it, writing it, performing it.

The Aristocrats, for the few of you that may not know it, is a documentary about the telling of the worlds dirtiest joke.

I'd waited patiently for it to reach these shores after long discussions about it with friends in America. I knew what to expect, I knew it was going to be foul, disgusting, scatalogical, repulsive, offensive and shocking.

And I knew I was going to love it.


What I didn't know then, and still don't know now, is what on earth possessed me to take a girl to see it with me on our first date.

I don't know what I was thinking.


We met, we went for dinner, we had a drink, and then, to my unending shame, I took her to see 'The Aristocrats'.


Have you seen it? It starts with the late, great, George Carlin talking about pissing and shitting in his daughters mouth.

And it degenerates from there.


'High'lights include:

Billy The Mime miming fisting

Cartman doing an impression of 9/11 victims.

Sarah Silverston claiming that Joe Franklin raped her.

It covers incest, rape, torture, bodily functions, bestiality, piss, shit, sperm, racism, sexism, peadophilia.

Basically, it makes sickepedia look like a Jack & Jill book.


I repeat: I took a girl to see it for our first date.


Amazingly, we are still together, three years later. But she will never let me forget just how close I came to never seeing her again after that night.

very dull if you're over 12 years old
and don't laugh every time someone says something rude. I didn't manage to sit through it. I wasn't offended, I was bored and realised I wouldn't get those hours refunded.

Airplane is funnier, most stand-up comics are ruder.

You're wrong.

But thanks for playing.
