i'm watching talking movies and apparently there's an entire film about this joke
still don't get it
The 9/11 thing is kinda' the point tho', you wiz.Originally Posted by Skizo
The whole point to the joke is to constantly make it worse and worse, what they are saying, as far as I can understand it, is that people think that the 9/11- impression thing is somehow worse than the actual, fairly horrible incest.
How fucking warped are you, if you think that way?

I thought it was supposed to be funny because it gets more and more extreme and then ends with a very unsatisfactory punch-line. The crapness of the punch-line is the punch-line.
I reckoned they were doing the aristocrats joke, like it's supposed to be done, but with weird values, like.
I looked it up, the joke and how it's supposed to be done, I mean.
I figured it was a satire.

Just noticed your Wikipedia link (which I'll repeat here ). Guess there's a bit more to it than I thought but I still think what is supposed to make it funny is the extremes the joke-teller goes to and then the lame puch-line.Originally Posted by SnnY
My original thought when I heard the joke (when someone posted the same link years ago here...) was that it was referencing some film called The Aristocrat(s).

Maybe so, but it still doesn't explain how, say, Skizo could laugh at the joke, but not the punchline
EDit: Unless of course the aristocrats bit is the punchline, tho' I wonder why'd anyone would laugh at that without the context, which leaves me with the conclusion that some people think the nasty incest bit is funny

I laugh at Peter Kay because he jokes about everyday things that I am familiar with.Originally Posted by SnnY
