    Now I want to hear Morgan Freeman tell the aristocrats joke in that slow and careful Morgan Freeman way.

      I feel like the aristocrats is such a shitty joke, and not deserving of the kind of hallowed status it seems to have amongst some. I’m a big fan of shaggy dog stories; that one’s only notable for the vulgarity, which is not—in and of itself—funny.

        I just can’t agree. It’s all about how it’s told and how it’s told by the right person can be comedy gold.
