Our vote for tagline of the year so far goes to the new documentary The Aristocrats: “No nudity. No violence. Unspeakable obscenity.” How could you pass that up? Penn Jillette, the talkative half of comedy/magic team Penn & Teller (and father of new baby girl Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette), came up with the line. He co-directed the movie with standup comic Paul Provenza. The film features various comedians telling their own versions of a filthy joke that’s been a kind of calling card for comedians backstage since the days of vaudeville.
