The Aristocrats (2005)
Dir: Paul Provenza
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436078/
Not quite as funny as I was led to believe, but still very very funny and worth the watch. The sheer audacity that someone had to make a documentary film based on one filthy joke is enough to command my respect, but the exploration of the craft of a stand up comedian was very interesting. It was cool to see just how each comedian puts their own spin on one joke and truly makes it their own.
Highlights include Kevin Pollack doing a dead-on impression of Christopher Walken, and Sarah Silverman claiming Joe Franklin raped her.
