08.26.05 | Alamo South Lamar | really hilarious, but it's also a documentary. It's not just telling after telling after telling of the same joke; there's some commentary and discussion thrown into the mix as well as a few variations, different jokes, and even a bullpen session in The Onion's writing room. But there is also telling after telling of the same joke, all of which hilarious. really good movie. on a side note, the Alamo offered up a free season pass to the best teller of the joke afterward. I've been debating back and forth on wether to get up and offer something but a few days ago I decided categorically not to: i'm not a comedian. The way they worked it is they only let 5 people do it, all of which volunteered before the movie, and gave each guy (no woman would go for it) 3 minutes. I think i could've beat three of the guys but the guy that won and the guy that should've won but went over his time limit both had genuinely funny tellings... so there you go. |
