I just saw the first promos for this "movie", I've never been a fan of profanity for it's shock value or humor so it probably wont be something that I would enjoy, but I wonder how it will do and whether it will draw a lot of controversy (and pull in more viewers because of it).

Plot Outline: One hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY dirty, filthy joke--one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.

"The Aristocrats" is an industry joke among comedians; when performing, there is an assumed trust relationship - the audience will listen, and you will not waste their time. The "Aristocrats" joke is an abuse of that relationship, making the audience listen to horrible things with absolutely no payoff.

Thoughts?
