From Wikipedia..... The Aristocrats is a taboo-defying off-colour joke that has been told by numerous stand-up comedians since the vaudeville era. It relates the story of a family trying to get an agent to book their stage act, which is revealed to be remarkably vulgar and offensive in nature, with the punch line revealing that they incongruously bill themselves as The Aristocrats..... When told to audiences who know the punch line, the joke's humour depends on the described outrageousness of the family act. The joke almost always has these elements - alternative versions may change this form..... Setup: A family act (or a representative, usually the male head of household) goes in to see a talent agent about booking their act. The agent asks what their act consists of..... Act: If the whole family is present, the act is performed for the agent; otherwise it is described, in as much detail as the teller prefers, typically ad lib. Traditionally, the description is tasteless and ribald. The goal is to significantly transgress social norms. Taboo acts such as racism, animal cruelty, incest, rape, child sexual abuse, coprophilia, coprophagia, bestiality, necrophilia, cannibalism, and murder are common themes..... Punch line: The shocked (or intrigued) agent asks what the act is called, and the proud answer (sometimes delivered with a flourish) is: The Aristocrats!..... This below par retelling has been extended by online AI, ruined by Google Translate, and remixed using the cut-up method.
