Are you a rapist Demitiri? lol

And no. I also found it to be rather amusing

I'll see if I can incorporate that joke into a magic routine somewhere

Not just regional differences but differences in the immediate company as well...the rapist 'joke' would not sit well over here except amongst the male college crowd who have yet to have a fully realized sex life beyond hitting up girls in bars...sorry but your 'parts' were relatively recently encombered by diapers... (sorry......wait...no I'm not...)

Rapist jokes and child sex jokes push the limit, especially in mixed company...except in circles where the aim is to out gross the other, as in 'The Aristocrats'...women will rarely tell or 'appreciate' a rape joke and for good reason...now a good Cannibal joke....

The best Bar pickup joke I ever heard was REAL...I was sitting in a bar in a Casino at Lake Tahoe with a female friend and this guy walks up and starts hitting on her and she turns to him and says...

"I already have one a**hole in my pants...I don't need another."


BAM! To the heart. Slice and dice...

Politics, Sex, Race...all easy targets for the neophyte...

Snails however...

I think The Aristocrats stands apart though -- at least when done well for an audience willing to go with it and see where it leads.

There's a very funny film based on just that one joke, featuring a string of seriously big name comedians and even a comedienne who does a related routine about her being the daughter!

As you know then after watching the (overlong) documentary, this was not a joke done for audiences but between the comics themselves...college humor as it most base...the Penn Gillete 'film' is really the first public exposure of 'The Aristocrats' except in a very limited way when a comic wanted to slam an unresponsive audience right square in the teeth.


By the way..the UK has April Fools Day pranks etc correct?

Please say yes...


and ToMo...how's the Cat?

ecozero...did you notice we have the same expression? 'cept you look like a rowdy football (soccer) fan and me...well...I'm an 'Aristocrat'. :-0

Yes, we have April Fool's Day.

Cat? The one with pierced ears?

Higley, are you sure you watched the Aristocrats? Some of the dirtiest (and funniest) versions of the joke were told by women on that movie.

ToMo: Asking someone from Cheshire about the Cat seems akin to asking someone from NY City if they got the monkey off the building yet...
appologies...it was just one of my favorite characters, (also as voiced by Strling Holloway of course) "...can you stand on your head?"


By the way...to all my friends in the UK (and I do have a few) my April Fool prank in the British Isles may or may not get publicity...let's just say it is the biggest in history since PT Barnum hit the shores...all of which I can't discuss till June. Keep your ears on though and listen for something REALLY strange going on...I mean stranger than usual.
PM or email me if you do.

Cheers and Happy April.


Edit: yes...I watched The Aristocrats and there have always been those fem comics who pushed the limits...Moms Mabley...even Joan Rivers (UH!) who poured out some of the filthiest body fluid rants I ever heard from a stage. There were/are a few who go the distance. Those broads (and they were) in the film where not doing the Aristocrats for the public either. What I meant was LISTENERS who get uncomfortable with Rapist type stuff...at least over here where there are enough wimpy ass men who wind up in the news daily with there power trips...I'm certainly not saying there is any topic that is off limits...not these days...just that there is a definate boundry amongst certain elements of society where the line doesn't get crossed and be accepted. Those women comics usually do not do rape jokes unless it's against the male population that thinks it's about sex not power.

Let's put it this way...the humor being discussed at present is not for a magic act!

Ah. Now I get you.

now that made me and the wife laugh.... ha ha he he...

I think it would be easier to understand these jokes if they were being said to you.

I more enjoy the comedy of Lee Evans and Billy Connolly

Yet again another example of the perfect burner - said it before, I'll say it again: "Tough crowd" (no offence)

Heres an amusing one (one of my personal favourites)

"What do you do if an elephant comes through your window...? Swim for your life."

Enjoy,

Alex

"What do you do if an elephant comes through your window...? Swim for your life."

or

"Ask him if he's from France".

Pleased to hear the punchline worked eventually! How about the two Canibals who were eating a clown? One turned to the other and asked, 'Er, does this taste funny to you?' .

These jokes are absolutely hilarious

I didn't notice before no... but now you point it out I can see the similarity

And I'm not an Eco Zero lol
