Blazing Saddles. The movie that insulted everyone and made you laugh at the same time. That is America.

I always said that Richard Pryor did more for race relations in this country, because he made white and black people laugh at and with each other.

They’d drag Mels Brooks body up and down Hollywood Blvd with a Hummer limo if he tried to make a movie like that today.

Blazing Saddles made us laugh at bigots and prejudices in the mid 1970s. Laughter being the one thing they could not stand. The last (absolutely last) time I tried to watch it, it had been so cut up to meet the 21st Century political correctness that it was incoherent. Now it is just a waste of time, talent and film.
