Title: Probably should have remained an inside joke
Review: My friend Todd told me the Aristocrats joke when I was seventeen years old. Todd wanted to be a stand-up comedian. Last I heard, Todd had been arrested for holding up a Wells Fargo truck. It was around this time Todd stopped giving advice. I'm not saying the Aristocrats joke led to the derailing of his career, but I don't think it helped. The film version didn't do much for me in the way of entertainment or education, either.I didn't laugh -- nothing ruins a joke more than having a hundred people explaining why it's funny before and after it's relayed in bits and pieces by an editor with ADD. And I didn't gain any real insight into comedy's backstage world. I just sat there staring at the screen wondering what all the fuss was about. For these reasons -- wanting humor and insight -- I enjoyed Christian Charles' "Comedian" much more.[...].
