This was a documentary by Penn Jillette and Paul Porenza (sp) filming a 100 of today's comedians discussing and doing the joke the Aristocrats. The joke itself isn't funny, it's the lead up to the punchline that's the funny part. Essentially, it's a comedian's joke for comedians.
I thought I would have heart failure at some of the stuff, and some is like wow, that's really, really offensive and absolutely funny. These comics push every single button of society- to see how far they can take it.
This is not for the easily offended, it's not even for the "I can usually take it" level. The comedians are from all age groups and political stripes (Drew Carey, my favorite Republican is right there with George Carlin) but the point of the documentary is how words are just words and they cease to offend after a certain point. (and that comics really like to amuse each other!) The DVD with the commentary is fantastic to watch after you watch the movie.
I seriously nearly had heart failure- my best friend was slightly offended but thought it was hysterical. Definitely not for everyone but...
I thought it was great.
