So this guy walks into a talent agency and says to the talent agent “Have I got the GREATEST act for YOU”! And the talent agent says “Well okay, what do you do”? And the guy says “It’s great you’re gonna love it, it’s a family act. It goes a little something like this...

nononono its NOT from south park

Yeah it's actually not from South Park. It's actually an super-old running joke among comedians/stand-up comedians, where there is a default beginning and end, and the whole middle is completely improv. How South Park picked it up or even heard about it is beyond me.

There's the movie about the joke, which just came out a few weeks ago. See it. It's the funniest thing you'll ever see.

They made a MOVIE about the joke? Well... it's not exactly my kind of humor anymore, but ehhhhh... with such great reviews... maybe.

(I knew of the joke and some of its history, coupled with it's recent popularity from South Park, but didn't know the origin [brulesque routine? geez] nor did I have any clue they made a film for it)

Crazy...
