Funniest movie in a long time...

A Center for Ants?

If you can stand gross bathroom humor for an extended period of time and think it's at all funny go see the Aristocrats.

Hilarious. A couple people walked out of it but I thought it was hilarious. George Carlin is fantastic as are Danny Tanner / Bob Sagat, Sarah Silverman, and Gilbert Gottfried. Great stuff.

I went in thinking that it'd be mediocre but I really liked it. Anyone else see it yet?

Have you ever seen any Bob Saget stand up? It is filthy! Which makes it funny because here you have the father on Full House, yet some of his acts are all about shocking people with the dirty things he says. He definitely hints at it in Half Baked . . .

hmmm.....that's strange. aristocrats got bad reviews. something about not having enough depth to carry a whole movie.

That's what makes it so funny, the jokes all about brinksmenship.

why didn't i laugh at that south park piece?

i used to think they were pretty funny, but i guess at this point that i am so braced for anything they say, that it simply doesn't provide much surprise any more.

Bob Saget's standup has always been incredibly, incredibly filthy.

yeah it is a little jarring to see the man who gave the most corny jokes on America's Funniest etc. etc. say things that would make even the most seafaring of sailors blush.

the aristocrats is historically known for being the dirtiest joke ever told! that is why penn gilette is doing the documentary. to get famous comedians old and new to give their take on the joke. i cant wait to see it. ive seen bob sagat 's stand up. also did not expect the dirty jokes but it was funny shit! the punch line is not really meant to be funny it is just the irony of sucha dirty family calling their act , the aristocrats.
