Some of the biggest stars in world comedy have worked together to
put the world's filthiest joke to film. The joke, known as the
"Aristocrats" is one of the longest running in-jokes in the standup
comedy industry, being passed amoungst comedians backstage for years. The
joke, which is not really funny (which is part of the joke - you see), is
about a family auditioning for a talent show using the most obscene behaviour
possible.
Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly, Chris Rock, Robin Williams and the
makers of South Park are among the comedians who have recorded versions of the
joke for the film which is to be shown at the Edinburgh Fringe later this
year.
The project was organised by American stand-up Paul Provenza and
magician Penn (who makes up the "Penn" half of "Penn and Teller").
Unfortunately the joke is too obscene to include in writing on
Funny.co.uk - if we did our sponsors would probably withdraw our funding and
we'd be forced to live on gruel for the rest of our lives while wearing student
clothing. However, we can give you a link to to the South Park version of
the joke:
