I loved this movie, mostly because I study comedy and the art of funny. To think that I had never heard this joke before really disturbed me. What else am I missing?
The documentary goes further than just a bunch of comedians telling different versions of the same joke. they talk about the delivery, the underground culture of comedians and what they do when they are done for the night and just sitting around and trying to make each other laugh.
With these heavy hitters of comedy busting the same joke loose, you get to see the subtle way they deliver everything. You get to see them with their hair down, because this joke had never been told on-air and was almost a secret handshake for them.
Gilbert Godfreid (I used to hate him) was fucking incredible, and Bob Saget just killed. The Southpark gang do a version, again proving that Trey Stone and Matt Parker really know what they are doing, and are not just a bunch of cartoonists.
Rating: 8/10, only because it seemed to drag a bit in the middle. The cut scenes of the writing staff of "The Onion" was not funny, and did not add anything. It just took away from the others. I wanted it to keep picking up speed, and you could tell that the audience was kind of tired of it after a while. Then at the end, they stopped showing the different versions of it and instead concentrating on the art of it, the subculture of it, the history. That was funny.
