I don't get the joke. I mean it's not really even funny like, I didn't even crack a smile. So comedians have the opportunity to be as gross as they can possibly conceive and the punchline is not even humorous. So they are not really aristocrats. Is it supposed to be ironic? Please explain.

It's funny because it's not funny.

i don't think it's supposed to be ironic, just a contest to see who can be the most disgusting. the bob saget bit was just strange.

I actually thought the movie was pretty good. It happens to be a pretty dumb joke that allows for/encourages the teller to get gross but I thought it was an interesting and often funny movie. It really allows the various comedians to show off their styles. There were several that I didn't care for, but I loved sarah silverman's bit and Drew Carey's as well. (Mostly because he was telling it to a baby.) I guess you either have that sense of humor or you don't. I'm very picky about stuff like this- I like some of it but not all of it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason with me. :shrugs:

btw, there was another thread about this if you want more opinions. I'm almost positive it was on the post hack board.

herekitty, i could have sworn there was also, but i did a search and it didn't come up.

sarah's bit was the best part. i forgot if the movie actually has the subject of her joking going, "i never met sarah silverman" after her scene or if that was just on "jesus is magic"
