Am I Missing Something?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Paul Provenza and producer Penn Jillette bring an inside joke among comedians to the outside world. There's a family who performs a disgusting outlandish offensive act with their dog in front of a person. After the act, the persons ask what the act is called. They reply "The Aristocrats".It is essentially a bad joke. The reason for the love is that the performer is allowed to come up with the most outrageous inappropriate ideas. Honestly most of the jokes are not funny although it's probably funny for these comedians who have heard it all before. It is insane material that would never be used in any actual act. It's an insight into the world of comedians. The best one is probably Sarah Silverman who incorporates her family as the actual performers. She does it as a naive innocent girl although her punchline is "Joe Franklin raped me". Carrie Fisher does it with her famous parents. Gilbert Gottfried doing the roast after 9/11 is the most compelling piece of story. The DVD commentary adds more background to the comedy and the various comedians.

OK.. So I get it, its an inside joke amongst other comedians, its about how vulgar you can tell a joke (which really isn't that funny)..After about ten minutes into the movie you have already seen what its all about and the next 80 minutes are just worthless... In fact if I had to watch it again I would just go to You tube and watch the South Park version! Now I like a sick joke and I am not normally offended by them but this joke is beyond me, A joke about child abuse and rape and god knows whatever else is far from funny.I would avoid this like the plague!! Unless of course you like the plague then you might add it to your own stupid version of this joke.I gave it 2 stars because I found the South Park version funny as it really just sums up just how stupid it really is.

This is simply the most disgusting, horrific, obscene thing I've ever seen or heard! It's so "in-your-face" I couldn't help but stay riveted to it, the entire video and all its sub-sections. The very fact that Penn Gillette & his friend would spend 4 years putting it together, says a lot about how perverse our scociety has become. I Love it! This is precisely the exact stuff my friend & I would dream up and act out in our impromptu comic skits when we were teenagers! Where was Penn Gillette & his recording equipment 40 years ago? I've come to a new admiration of Gilbert Gottfried, until now he ranked just one notch above Pauly Shore on my "can't f$%^&g stand'em" list. But Now I see he KNOWS what he sounds like, how he comes across (no pun intended!) and how to piece together a line and a joke! He's Good! On a somber note, now that George Carlin has passed away, His clips in the video stand in testimony to the elder spokesman of a generation! The performers, one and all, every last one of 'em, get a standing F*** Y*** for their contributions to this classic!

It's not a funny movie, it's a waste of your time, and the worlds funniest joke is $hit.If you like to laugh, don't watch this, you never hear anything amusing, it's terrible. If you like to be bored, then this is the movie for you, the KKK enjoyed Boyz In The Hood and Juice more than I enjoyed this, i'm shocked that anyone like this movie, its $hit! Only w@nk£rs will disagree with me.Q :Please can someone tell me why this movie is funny? A :It's funny because the viewer has to waste 90 minutes of their time watching it.
