Gilbert Gottfried: Dirty Jokes (2005)

Gilbert Gottfried delivers a solid stable of standard dirty jokes (I'd heard maybe a third) in his inimitable style with minor humorous embellishments. He also impersonates Alan King, Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, and more. Six jokes were more than edgy about bodily fluids so that the audience either groaned or hesitated to do more than chuckle nervously. He spent the last ten minutes telling the highly scatological joke ("world's dirtiest joke" is accurate) found in The Aristocrats. He kept a rictus of humor on my face till the last six minutes but ya gotta love the guy's delivery and sense of playful mischief no matter what; he doesn't slow down -- even in the credits: "Wardrobe from the back of Gilbert's closet. He liked the red shirt but ultimately decided to go with the black." 3.5 stars.
