There's a long joke describing a lot of really vile despicable acts done by people in this big family, and it goes on and on, and in the end you find out they're aristocrats- samea sthe rest if us, but actually way way worse.

Wait- internet to the rescue, via Reddit:

Gilbert Godfrey is one of the truly amazing performances of the joke. Wasn't it at a Roast right after 9-11 and nobody wanted to laugh. I guess he broke them all down into laughter by just letting out with it.

Also, I think it was Johnny Carson's favorite joke.

Edit: I don't know how many people have seen the delivery that I discussed so here's a link for the lazy. NSFW due to VERY colorful linguistics.

The intro to his delivery at the roast starts at 0:58 and lasts 'til... No idea. I'm too lazy to figure it out. This is taken from the documentary The Aristocrats.
