Just watching this on C4 now.

I like my crude humour - but what in the hell is the point of this film. Do i just not get it?

    Seen it before and it's not a great film.

    The joke is very famous and there are a couple of excellent renditions (South Park is one of them :D) but it didn't really need a film/documentary, or alteast it didn't need all the versions being recited.

    It gets dull after about 10 minutes because you've heard it all before.

    Thank god I was thinking I'd had a humour bypass watching this. All the crew and the guys being interviewed were killing themselves laughing and there I was at home stoic faced...

    I've never seen it but it was critics favourite, look at the acclaim on the cover of the DVD, 'could be one of the funniest films you're EVER likely to see!!!'
    I've seen clips of it and I'd have to agree with you guys - 'could be one of the UN-funniest films you're EVER likely to see!!!'.

    I seem to be the only one who enjoyed it then. Although I watched it a few years ago, not yesterday.

    I DO like the bit where the Piano at the 'Jazz' party falls through the floor and they all walk off singing "Everybody wants to be a cat"..

    Oh!

    The Aristocrats....:o

    Really Bad Film. I saw it at the cinema and didn't laugh once. The more these US "comedians" laughed at their own take on the joke, the more irritated I got, the only interesting bit was Eddie Izzard, who seemed totally bemused by it all. So bad. So so bad.

    absolute dreadful film

    When it came out it was hyped up a lot and (hilarious etc)

    Only wish it had Frank Carson or Bernard Manning telling it, that would have been funny
