Apparently there is an underground joke known to the best-of-the-best comedians, the beginning and ending of the joke is a constant, but the middle changes based on comedian.
But that's not it.
The gist of the joke, perhaps is only purpose, is to be as vile, crude, disgusting and perveted as humanly possible. The beginning is that a family (father, mother, son, daughter and dog) goes to a talent agency to show the agent their family act. He lets them perform--the performance is the bulk of the joke--and the joke ends by the agent asking what the act is called.

Says Jim Lewis of Slate, "The joke is perfect because the joke sucks—in fact, it's nonexistent. You get to the end, and it proves to be nothing, nothing at all, but an excuse after the fact for comedians to get as stupid and as clever, simultaneously, as they possibly can."

Yeah, I was the deleted comment author of the two previous comments. I was going to make an aristocrat joke of my own but then got sick. I'll write one this afternoon WHY DON'T YOU DO IT TOO. You know to be cool...
Okay, okay.
A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us."
The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."
The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us."
The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look."
The family each lay down on the floor and take a nap for one minute and 48 seconds. Then the dog wakes up, walks over to the agent, and pisses on his foot.
For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?"
And the father says, "The Aristocrats!"
