"The Aristocrats" (also called "The Debonaires" or "The Sophisticates" in some tellings) is a taboo-defying off-color joke that has been told by numerous stand-up comedians since the vaudeville era. The joke was the subject of a 2005 documentary film of the same name. It received publicity when it was used by Gilbert Gottfried during the Friars' Club roast of Hugh Hefner in September 2001. ==Traditional format== This joke almost always has these elements—alternative versions may change this form. # ''Setup:'' A family act going in to see a talent agent; either the whole family or just one family member (usually the father). # *The agent asks what they do. # *If the whole family is present, the act is performed for the agent; otherwise it is described. #''Act:'' It is described in as much detail as the teller prefers. # *While most tellings follow one of a few basic forms, the description of the act is meant to be an ad lib. # *Traditionally, the description is tasteless, and ribald. The goal is to significantly transgress social norms. Taboo acts such as incest, rape, coprophilia, coprophagia, bestiality, necrophilia 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!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Aristocrats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
