To me, one of the very funniest scenes was when 2 black dudes are jive talking to the stewardess and she doesn’t understand. Up jumps none other than June Cleaver (mother in Leave it to Beaver). She says “I speak jive!” and proceeds to translate. It’s a scene I don’t believe would be permitted in today’s “woke” films.

Mrs Cleaver was funny in that one, and I think you are right, it could not be done in today’s woke climate.

Agreed

I especially liked when they added subtitles for what was being said. At the end, one of the black dudes said “shiiit” and they subtitled it as “golly”.
