I don't think I have ever spent another 50 minutes laughing so hard as I did over this show. The reason for this is not so much the dirty jokes themselves. In fact, I knew half of them already. However, that matters very little. What makes this absolutely hysterically funny is Gilbert's skills as a stand-up comedian. After having watched this show three times, I have no hesitation dubbing Gottfried the best stand-up comedian alive. His timing, delivery and ability to win over the audience is rivaled by none, and he proves it with the 10 minute version of The Aristocrats. If I laughed hard for the first 40 minutes, I nearly died from lack of air when I heard Gottfried's version of The Aristocrats. This man is simply born to do this famous anti-joke, and his impersonations of Cosby, Seinfeld and King is just the icing of the cake. Gilbert, you are the best stand-up comedian today! I salute you!

Gilbert Gottfried: Dirty Jokes: 4 out of 10: Notice the “concert film” is called Dirty Jokes not funny jokes. I also put concert film in quotes because this is the most disinterested collection of Yuppies I have ever seen. The audience often groans or at the very least sits in an impatient silence during Gottfried’s performance.Not that Gottfried does not give them reason to squirm. His jokes are dirty... that was a given, but quite often they simply are not all that funny. Part of the problem is many of these moldy chestnuts are probably older than Gottfried himself. It is as if he was giving an X-rated Jack Benny routine.The culmination of this collection of tasteless one-liners is yet another rendition of the Aristocrats joke. If you missed that dead horse-beating documentary The Aristocrats, the joke is a ten-minute collection of the most scatological collection of images followed by a shaggy joke punch line. The joke (like most shaggy dog humor) only works if you are not expecting it. Here it falls horribly flat with an audience that is clearly bored.If you want to see the funniest version of the joke fast forward towards the end the The Aristocrats and their is a hilarious (and historical) version told in front of a squirming Hugh Hefner a few weeks after 9/11. The brilliant comedian who pulled of this unlikely triumph?... Gilbert Gottfried.

I hadn't heard a lot of the jokes so i found it to be really funny. I had heard the aristocrats joke before but this was by far the longest and grossest telling ever... Gilbert's voice and joke telling ability really puts forward a good performance... Watch out for a couple of excellent impressions done by him as well.... The jokes are of a very mature nature and many of them offer obscene and absurd implications and situations between the characters that are involved.... Here's a spoiler for you, Gilbert really opens his eyes in one of the jokes and its really funny... Overall it was very well done and i enjoyed the performance...

I think DLiebert's comment misses the mark somewhat. While it is true that the material isn't original, and that many of these jokes are old chestnuts, Gottfried's delivery is so fearless and "out there" that I was left not only laughing but gasping at his audacity. He just fires them off one after another, like the Henny Youngman of smut, with no other context than his own bizarre persona. Unlike a performer such as Andrew Dice Clay (remember him?) who deep down expects his audience to share his prejudices, the "Gilbert Gottfried" character seems sublimely innocent of the offensiveness of the material. As a gay man, I can say this is especially true of two exceptionally nasty, over-the-top homophobic jokes, which left his audience groaning. Not the least offended, I salute his jaw-dropping vulgarity. Touche, GG.I would have given the show a 9, except that it ends with a retelling of "The Aristocrats", over-familiar territory with no real payoff. But then, the journey is the reward.
