I thought that was one of the most hilarious scenesd in the film, especially when the white, elderly woman started talking Jive. :)
Heck, my black friend laughed out loud watching that scene.
As I posted on another thread: I wonder if BLM and the Democrats know how many smart, productive, black Americans they are insulting every day by coddling them like children unable to care for themselves.
The mere fact that articles like this exist prove the point.
For several years late on Saturday night I watched Showtime at the Apollo on TV. The comedians were mixed but one was a mixed race women that was mocking her Italian self. Hysterical and by this standard racist.
Of course, the white, elderly woman was Beaver Cleaver’s mom.
Which made it all the more funny.
Yep, that lady was none other than Barbara Billingsley of Leave it to Beaver fame.
It was a funny movie. It did take a few totally out of the blue attacks on Reagan and Anita Bryant which were not funny or even tried to be.
Yep, that lady was none other than Barbara Billingsley of Leave it to Beaver fame.
That was the joke. Mrs. Cleaver speaking Jive.
The censors are coming, the censors are coming....
Comedy has to offend or make light of a foible. Has to.
If Hee Haw, the Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres couldn’t kid country people.
If Animal House, Airplane I and II, Police Squad, the Blues Brothers and all the National Lampoon Vacation movies took out all the offensive materials about someone and anyone.....we’d see the opening and closing production credits and union label for stage crew members.
Three minutes long.
I dig, man. My momma didn’t raise no dummy.
;)
They new their risk, they bought their tickets...I say, let ‘em crash!
No way in hell that movie would be made today.
One little hint about where we Deplorables draw the line:
Hands off Animal House, Police Squad series, National Lampoon Vacation series, the Blue Brothers and Airplane series.
We won’t remain in a lotus position contemplating the rewards of cosmic consciousness if you touch those.
> Zucker, though, stands by it four decades later. Its evenly laughing at Black people and white people. ...
Poor old fool. Evenness is such an outdated concept. He might as well be arguing for the return of the Model T Ford.
And Zucker had better shut up while hes only a little behind. Because if he keeps talking reasonably, theyll pull Airplane from movie lists just like they did with Gone With the Wind.
