"A family walks into a talent agent's office..." So begins "The Aristocrats," a joke kept mostly secret by stand-up comedians for decades. An intentionally "bad" joke, the laughs in The Aristocrats aren't in the punch-line (one of the only elements that's the same every time), but in the set-up, made unique by each comedian who tells it in an attempt to fashion the world's dirtiest joke. The cat was finally let out of the bag by Penn_Jillette and Paul_Provenza, the seasoned funnymen who gathered together a hundred people to tell a hundred different renditions of the bit. Among those presenting their personal take on The Aristocrats in this film of the same name are Jason_Alexander, Robin_Williams, Gilbert_Gottfried, Jon_Stewart, Emo_Philips, and Chris_Rock. The Aristocrats premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Matthew Tobey, Rovi
