External Links[edit]

I suggest we could use a more scholarly "critical analysis" than the one currently linked (by Jason Pitt). 70.121.157.246 06:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.22 (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The second external link is not working. BOOMheadshot (talk) 17:45, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances[edit]

I fail to see how this documentary has top listed stars at the beginning of the article. Like IMDB, could a list of all who were featured in the film be appended [1]? --ConradKilroy 18:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is in the article:

Although considered a highlight of the film by many critics, The New Yorker reported that Sarah Silverman's autobiographical telling of the joke, in which she tells the story of having been one of the Aristocrat performers as a child - only to make the revelation that she was molested by veteran talk show host Joe Franklin. This reportedly led to Franklin considering a defamation lawsuit against the comedian.[2]

The New Yorker reported that what? I suspect this sentence has been mangled through the efforts of too many different editors. Could somebody who knows about this controversy check and fix it? --Grace 23:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else fixed the original mangle, but I had to reword it slightly because it came across as if Silverman was actually, seriously suggesting Franklin raped her, which would be borderline libellous and a violation of WP:BLP (not WP:BLT as I accidentally put in the edit summary; a BLT is another evil form of animal usually found in roadside diners. I have my own issues with BLTs, but that has nothing to do with Biographies of Living Persons!) 23skidoo 02:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Saget[edit]

I think we could mention that Bob Saget's appearance (and version) of the joke in the movie could be considered one of the biggest, if not biggest, surprise in the entire movie when you take into consideration the squeaky-clean image cultivated on Full House

Actually, I believe Saget was known to be pretty raunchy in his stand up acts during the mid-80's and had to clean up his image to take on the role of Danny Tanner. Granted, Full House and America's Funniest Videos were the two shows that brought him his greatest fame. But he has played similarly vulgar roles prior to this film as in Half Baked and Dumb and Dumberer. Hoof Hearted 15:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Saget was one of the filthiest comedians who ever lived. Look it up. 174.171.71.34 (talk) 05:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

fake joke rumor[edit]

i have a lot of problems with this section. i dont really know enough about it to fix it myself but if no oene else does, i'll be glad to do it. first of all, the title sucks. second of all, it's information is wrong. the footage at the friars club isnt what proved that this joke was true! gilbert performed at the friars club after filming for the movie had already begun. and as a side note, when you add something to wikipedia, dont just write what you believe to be true. get the actual facts, damnit! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The mitten man (talk • contribs) 03:20:07, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

"South Park reference" needs work[edit]

From the article:

In an unaired skit, a short clip shows Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny at the bus stop while Cartman tells "the dirtiest joke ever", referring it to "The Aristocrats" movie. It ends with Kyle stating, "I don't get it." and Cartman replying, "Neither do I."

OK, it's a skit, it's a clip, it's unaired -- what does this mean? Was this something intended to be part of a South Park episode? Was it intended to be in The Aristocrats? Or was it actually in the movie, or in the DVD extras, or...? What does 'referring it to "The Aristocrats" movie' mean? If it was unaired, where did you see it? Is there a citation for this?

It'd also be better if it were integrated more smoothly into the article; not sure if it deserves its own section.--NapoliRoma (talk) 00:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User Harmil noted in an internal comment that this is from the movie, not from the South Park show. Harmil also commented it out -- since it's already captured above, I removed it entirely. Anyone of course may feel free to clean it up and reinstate it.--NapoliRoma (talk) 15:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Too soon" redirect?[edit]

Why does "Too soon" redirect to the Friars Club roast footage section? It may be an example of something being "too soon," but doesn't seem necessary. Host Dunkelheit (talk) 07:27, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added a Reception sect[edit]

Added a Reception sect, started out with Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, to build on with that initial start of a sect. — Cirt (talk) 22:54, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sect addition for Awards and nominations[edit]

Sect addition for Awards and nominations. Added this sect to the article. Might be other sources for this, will do some more research. — Cirt (talk) 00:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
