Harry Shearer Laugh Quotations

When (Pryor) took the 'N' word and repeated it in so many contexts and made you laugh at it so much, by the end he had drained that word of its power to sting and hurt,

If you can sit through The Aristocrats and laugh at it, you come out the other end realizing that to be made to laugh at it robs the telling of it of the power to shock and sting. It's why (word-abusing comic George) Carlin is in the movie. It's basically a lesson about words, how we can give power to words and take it back. Comedy lubricates that transaction sometimes.
