Netflix
An interesting documentary about a painfully stupid joke that has nevertheless become a testing ground of improvisational mettle for comedians. Some of the versions are awful (I found Paul Reiser's and Stephen Wright's particularly lame). George Carlin's take is masterful, and Sarah Silverman personalizes The Aristocrats to a discomforting degree by incorporating her own family (including poor Grandma). Bill Maher, however, has the most elegant and hilarious variation. Plumb the depths of scatology, incest, murder, and sadism with Bob Saget. Worth a visit.

Gotta find some people that know how to play Risk.
Does "the joke" involve a pug dog?
Why is a pug dog on the cover? Does any iteration of "the joke" involve one?
