The Aristocrats- The movie was very funny.

This joke almost always has these elements — alternative versions may change this form, but such versions tend to assume that the audience is already familiar with the joke:

1. The setup: The joke always begins with a "family act" going in to see a talent agent.
* Those who meet the agent can include the whole family, or just one family member (usually the father).
* The agent asks (sometimes after saying that he's not interested, and a plea from the father) what they do.
* If the whole family is present, the act may be performed for the agent, rather than described.
* There is also the possibility of a neutral observer telling the tale of seeing the performance to the talent agent.
2. The act: It is described in as much detail as the teller prefers.
* Traditionally, the description is crude, tasteless, ribald, and often scatological.
* While most tellings follow one of a few basic forms, the description of the act is meant to be an ad lib.
* It should be as far beyond the boundaries of propriety as the comedian can muster. Incest, pedophilia, scatology, bestiality, and murder are common themes.
3. The punch line: The shocked (or intrigued) agent asks what the act is called, and the proud answer is "The Aristocrats!"
* The punchline may be modified in some variants, but generally such variants are told only in a context where the original joke is known.
* Because the sense of what an aristocrat is has faded in many countries, the final line may simply be seen as the end of a rather bawdy joke rather than a punchline. In some regions the name of the act is "The Sophisticates" or "The Debonaires".

The joke describes a family describing their act to a promoter (sort of like a circus act) and they do vile sexual, physical things...even some incestuous things while balancing and juggling and all these weird things, when they are finished describing their act to the promoter, the promoter, who can barely speak upon hearing the disgusting routine, manages to ask "and what do you call yourselves" the family responds "The Aristocrats" hahaha. not funny. but if told right, can be decent....
