It's not so much disgusting as tedious. It's straight boys [and a few girls] talking non-stop about poop, and then congratulating themselves for being so very naughty.

Truly hilarious, but not for everyone. Contains some fairly explicit and potentially offensive material. However, that is right down my alley! I found the boundless places these comedians would go to be a breath of fresh air in a culture that watches everything it says, in personal life as well as art and entertainment. To see people--famous people--letting loose and saying some truly disgusting, sometimes immoral things, made me feel for the first time in years like I was living in a free country.

 10/10Must See
This is an excursion behind the scenes of comedy, as viewed through the lens of a particular joke. This joke is a sort of rite of passage into the comedy community, and it's an artisitic opportunity with improvisational jazz overtones. The premise is always the same: "A man walks into a talent agent's office and tells him 'Have I got an act for you!'". The middle is comedic free verse of the highest order with the lowest possible content. The objective is to cram as many objectionable, obscene, filty, degenerate concepts into describing the act being presented to the talent agent. Then, at the end, the agent asks, "So what do you call yourselves?" The punchline is always the same: "The Aristocrats!" A hundred different comedians tell the joke in a hundred different ways, and the shock value falls away from the words and leaves nothing but a poem. It's about the sounds and not the concepts the sounds represent. The sequence with Bob Saget is particularly revealing, as he contrasts his more common image of the father on "Full House" with who he really is as a comedian. I busted a gut watching it.
