Are there any other “traditional” jokes shared between comedians from years past like ‘The Aristocrats’?
For those who don’t know, ‘The Aristocrats’ is a
No soap, radio!
I know that one. I wonder how may other do. I am 41 and grew up in Los Angeles.
I’ve heard that one. I’m 23 and grew up on Long Island. I’m not sure I ever fully got it, but I heard it when I was a kid.
So do the rest of us get to hear the joke, or not?
Nah, but did I ever tell you guys about the time, when I was a kid, my mom, my dad, my dog and I put together a really great variety act? (Spoiler not for the squeamish. I repeat: This isn’t for the squeamish. You’ve been warned.)[spoiler]We worked on our act for months and months, and finally my dad took us to an agent to see if we could get booked on some local TV shows.
The agent said, “Sorry, I don’t do family acts.”
Dad said “Just take a look at this before you say that.”
The agent said, “Alright, but make it quick.”
‘Sweet!’ I thought. ‘Now’s our big chance.’
So we all got into our positions: We lined up-- dad, mom, me, then the dog; we all pulled our pants down and bent over, our assholes aimed at the agent behind his desk (well, the dog wasn’t wearing pants, but that probably goes without saying).
It took about 20 seconds to get things going, but Dad finally started it out. A long, low rumbling fart slurped out of his ass-- a sound so recognizable to mom and I that we knew it like our own voices-- and we knew that that was our cue. Mom then squeeked her own fart out, I quickly followed her fart with a loud rip of my own, and so the flatulant musical began.
The three of us took turns blasting out butt-notes, to the tune of “Crosstown Traffic” by Jimi Hendrix.
By the time we got to the final chrous, our legs and the floor beneath us were covered in runny, lumpy shit. And that crazy dog of ours was lapping it up almost as fast as we squeezed it out!
When we finished, dad gave mom a loud, hard slap on her bare ass, and she let out a scream. I looked over and noticed dad had an erection, which meant mom had probably been jerking him off to help him hit the low notes. When Dad stood up, he asked the agent what he thought.
“Good lord. I’ve never seen anything like that before,” the agent said. "What the hell do you guys call yourselves?
My dad lifted his leg and evacuated the rest of his colon onto the floor.
“We’re the Aristocrats,” he said.[/spoiler]
FTR, this is just an example of the joke. But the joke always starts out with a family going to an agent with an act, it continues on with very nasty, obscene, tasteless and horrific things going on, and it ends with the announcement that they’re called “The Aristocrats.” Very classy. 
Yeah I know about that one (doesn’t hit my funny bone at all), What about the “no soap, radio” joke, though?
“no soap, radio” is even worse. It’s not really even a joke.

Explanation: No Soap Radio
The “no soap radio” anti-joke (never heard it, and no, it’s not that funny, which is really the point isn’t it) reminds me of another joke someone told me a few years ago:[spoiler]A man walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says “You have to help my friend! He thinks he’s an orange!”
“Oh,” says the psychiatrist, “this is very serious. I must see your friend right away. Where is he?”
“He’s in my pocket.”[/spoiler]I don’t know why, but I love those kinds of things. Can’t wait till The Aristocrats comes here.
Does the Peg-legged Pig joke count?
This joke and the note that follows it
are from the site that revtim linked to, but I don’t get it. Anyone care to explain it for me?
The 2nd nun heard it as “Wears the soap?” as in “wears it down.”
The nuns aremasturbating with the soap, thus wearing it down.
Well that’s because it’s not a good joke. But it’s not really about being a funny joke, it is, apparently, about the delivery. And the nature of joke telling. Which is why a whole movie about telling the same joke over and over can still be funny (or so I’m told, I haven’t been able to get to it, try as I might.)
What’s the difference between a nun and a lady in the bathtub?
The nun has hope in her soul…
H. Allen Smith wrote about a punchline without a joke. It was such a perfect punchline he tried to make up a joke to go with it but was unsuccessful. The punchline: So the butler stuck his dick in the mashed potatoes. It sure seems like there should be a joke to go with that, but I’ve never heard one.
I like davenportavenger’s orange joke.
One of the best-known is “Niagara Falls/Slowly I Turned,”
Ah. Well, in the vein of the “no soap radio” joke, my favorite joke of all time is this one:
Person 1: “Ask me if I’m a duck.”
Person 2: “Are you a duck?”
Person 1: “No!”
The nun-misunderstanding pun reminds me of another:
Two nuns are sight-seeing in Rome by bicycle. It’s getting late, so they decide to take a shortcut to get back to their abbey. They ride down an old, old street. One says nervously, “Sister, I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
The other smiles and says, “Yes, I know. It’s the cobblestones.”
