This joke is over a century old and every comedian who has ever lived has their own version of it.

In 1920, the aristocratic class controlled literally everything and were seen as the pinnacle of refinement and genteel sensibility.

I’m sure you can figure it out from there. The joke originally began as a way of lampooning snobs by portraying them as utterly debased shit-worshipping urine sipping perverts.

Now, it’s basically a comedian rite of passage to have written and performed your own version of the joke. Every comedian you can name has their own The Aristocrats routine. Its also a litmus test that weeds out people who don’t fucking have a sense of humor or any understanding at all of timing, delivery, or showmanship from those who do.

Which group do you belong to?

The setup is a big part of it, but the punchline is also a legit joke. A person might think we would look up to "elites" in our society, and want to be like them, and have what they have.

Calling the act "The Aristocrats" is a way of saying "our elites are garbage, we shouldn't want to be like them, we should be disgusted by them." It says "I don't believe CNN, I don't believe MSBNC, I don't think celebrities are interesting, I don't think our government is run by great people who are more talented than me."

Gilbert made headlines at this roast for one of the first 9/11 jokes. It was something like "I have to fly back to California. I couldn't get a direct flight, it stops at the Empire State Building." The audience groaned and one person even yelled "Too soon" so Gilbert decided to go into his version of Aristocrats as a sort of punishment for the audience. Aristocrats is the type of joke that isn't for the audience, it's for other comics, so it was Gilbert's way of saying fuck you to an uptight audience.

@jonvelde5730

2y↑108

This is a very, very old joke, and the punchline is essentially meaningless to a modern audience. But there are two possible interpretations that could indicate what made it funny back in the day. (A) In the context of the world of the early 1900's, Aristocrats were understood to to be gentile, I.E. above anything crass, crude or "low". To get a faint echo of how this worked, try to imagine the current queen of England, in real life, farting loudly and then waving her hands about and shouting "better open a window gang, that was a ripe one!" with a horse-laugh. This would be shockingly incongruous, even today. Our firmly held expectations of that persons behaviour would be completely confounded. , and therefore we might well find it funny. Just as it confounded the expectations of an audience in 1910 that these depraved and salacious "performers" would be labelled aristocrats. Possible explanation (B) is almost a mirror image of -A-, it suggests that the gentry (aristocrats) were known to be libertines who enjoyed pleasures and lifestyles that the great masses could only dream about. By and large these pleasures being drinking, gambling, work-free existence, an endless round of entertainments, perhaps "taking advantage" of low-born farm girls or trollopes. In this context, the "performance" of the vaudevillians is such a ridiculously depraved exaggeration of these kinds of things, that it becomes a rather shocking lampoon and commentary on the aristocracy when the groups name is revealed.

No frame of reference for the punchline, and I'm sure it had some meaning, but the delivery was on point.

So after some research: the joke is really old, (like 1920s old) and the aristocracy was the high society people, who could do whatever they wanted because they had money and power. So the common family in the joke, do the depraved stuff and tell the agent we are basically mimicking the Aristocrats.

Given that context, he shoulda said "The Hefners"!, just to bring the joke into the 2000s. I still loved it.

That, and it could be a commentary about the aristocrats that are the subject of the joke. They can do the most horrendous, depraved things and get away with it because they have the money to either sweep it under the rug or hire good enough lawyers to defend them in court. The way I had it explained to me is it's funny because the ones performing are a lower class or "common" family, while the depravity of the act would have been downplayed if itbwas done by someone of a higher social standing.

@jonasthemovie

Wow. You really know stuff. To me the joke sounds like your president’s crack smoking son when he has women of questionable age over.

The problem with that ancient joke is that the punchline just isn't funny,maybe they should change it to the 'Trumps'.

The punchline isn't the point really any more, its more the commitment to the joke. But sure, maybe it would go down better with some people, and everyone who does this joke has their own version of it.
I would call it The Kardashians.

Why in the f do you keep spoiling the joke by putting the punchline in the thumbnail. This is beyond annoying. You're doing gilbert's work a serious disservice.

This joke makes me less sad that Gilbert Gottfried died.

@worker-wf2em

If only I could travel back to my high school days when I was an immature kid who found this crass juvenile humour funny. Now it’s just rubbish. Although the people here desperately trying to explain why the joke is funny based on some lesson on the aristocracy 100 years ago is somewhat amusing.

There is a documentary about this joke, I think it’s called The Aristocrats, where it goes into the history of the joke in relation to night club comedy.

Basically, it’s an inside joke amongst comedians. When Gilbert bombed after a 9/11 joke, he basically launched into the aristocrats to take the audience down with him.

It’s not funny because it’s poopoo peepee. It’s funny because it’s an inside joke among comedians.

An utterly vulgar and tasteless pile of crap with an even crappier ending. With this stand up commedy has crashed to the bottom of what seemed to be its never ending descent into vulgarity and obscenity. It has though a merit: it has made it impossible for anybody to sink any lower and may be commedy and humour stand a chance to climb back to be again good, witty, enjoyable entertainment

if you don't know the aristocrats, a joke that's been around for decades, you're not well versed enough in comedy to have that opinion

@YingYang 60: The funny thing about comedy is that it’s subjective. Not for you? Who cares, the comedy will stand on its own. Plenty of others hold opposing viewpoints, and neither side is right - or wrong. It just is. Move on if you don’t like it; your “critique” has no bearing.

@yingyang6080

@@ks-hm4cw the fact that a "joke", or for that matter anything in human endeavour, has been around for a long time cannot be considered as an endorsement to its "goodness" or a seal of approval to its worthiness. And I can express a personal opinion on anything, specially on something like a joke, as you are to agree or disagree with it. That's basic free speech which it seems to be questioned also outside the political arena. Sad sign of the times we live in.
