In a recent New York Times column, Frank Rich refers to The Greatest Dirty Joke Ever Told. Of course, family newspaper ethics proscribed him from really telling it. Thankfully, the New York Observer did just that some years ago, in a brilliantly dramatic account of Gilbert Gottfried's performance at the Friar's Club roast of Hugh Hefner; read it here. If you really want to hear the joke in all its excrementious detail, you can watch the South Park version.
Criminally dirty. You have been warned.
Visit Rodney Welch: The Blog for far less offensive but equally illuminating commentary on books, movies, music, and Tara Reid's tits.

Good, I didn't want to be the first one to admit it. =;) Still, hearing Cartman say it was amusing.

It's one of those jokes where the details are funnier than the punchline.

It's like mastubation; the pleasure is all to the performer, not to the audience...
Since this audience was "insiders," they enjoyed the memory of their own wanking evoked by Gil Gottfried.
