 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })No Nudity. No Violence. Unspeakable Obscenity.In 2005, Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza made The Aristocrats, a documentary featuring about a hundred comedians telling their own version of the eponymous joke and their own stories about its history. While the joke itself isn't funny (which they note during the film), the comedians talking about it are frequently hilarious.Nobody should confuse this film with The Aristocats, although several of the featured comics acknowledge the hazard of accidentally ending the joke with "The Aristocats" instead of the actual punchline.

 Cruel and Unusual Death

comment
 Cruel and Unusual Death: The punch line to Martin Mull's version of the joke. Three religious missionaries run afoul of an aboriginal tribe and are given a choice of "Death" or "The Aristocrats". The first two choose The Aristocrats, which consists of the highest-ranking tribesmen sexually violating them in every hideous way imaginable. The third guy, having witnessed the utter horror of The Aristocrats twice now, opts for death. The chief says "very well, you shall be put to death... But first, The Aristocrats!"

 Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In the version Gilbert Gottfried tells, he frequently recaps all the bodily fluids the family is covered in — including blood, urine, and feces — and only makes a big deal out of the sweat.

 Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Sarah Silverman's version, which places herself in the position of having been an Aristocrat, and eventually concluding that Joe Franklin raped her. Leading to a Brick Joke when, towards the end of the movie, there's a brief snippet of Joe Franklin being asked about Sarah Silverman. Who he hasn't met.

 Beware the Nice Ones: This movie is where many people discovered that Bob Saget ain't exactly a family-friendly comedian, despite his work on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos.
