Viewing Notes

With the recent dragging of comedians on Twitter and the termination of James Gunn by Disney this documentary came up… in that all involved should be fired by Disney based on the joke shared by each comedian. Forgot about this but now I get. Every comedian tells the same horrible joke but with a different spin (horrible = disgusting). It’s about the worst joke every told but ends with the same punchline that’s been passed down over the years from the vaudeville days.

There are some hilarious moments and it’s wild to see all these comedians in a super cut, some who are no longer with us, giving a vile take on this joke. It’s more amazing that the filmmakers were able to get in front of so many comedians for this documentary.

Kinda sad seeing the joy in those that have passed on prematurely like Carrie Fisher and Robin Williams.
