The Aristocrats

Hank Azaria: Uh... this joke, my grandfather told my father; he heard it from his grandfather; it goes all the way back, this joke. Sometimes as it was known as "The Tale of Pushtushkin, the Gay Rabbi." Eric Idle: "Vas ist das?" "The Aristocrats!" Eric Idle: There's a similar tale, it get mixed up. My grandfather took this joke so far, his entire life-- he lived 67 years-- always in a constant state of this joke. Constant! Eat, everything he did: married, children, everything. It was set-up, set-up, set-up, set-up. And then-- just the moment he died! Punchline. "What do you call this act?" "The Aristocrats--" He dead. Eric Idle: And you know? We laughed. We said, "Grandpa's dead. Well-- Oh! The Aristocrats!" I get it, all of a sudden. His entire life. I get this. We thought, and we were right, that he was crazy. But he will... no one will top him. No one will top this guy. Uncle Yanush. Hank Azaria: My grandfather's Uncle Yanush! See, that's bad improv right there. "My grandfather, Uncle Yanush."
