You couldn’t make slap stick comedy like this today (everyone would be offended) & Beaver’s Mother was the ultimate touch LMAO!

Great clip but they excised the very most funny part, at the very end:

She did NOT say “chump” in the original, when she upbraided him.

And they cut that SAME word out of the hilarious “Blazing Saddles” scene in which the new sherrif is riding towards his town.

What was hilarious from 30 years ago is still just as funny, it’s just not ALLOWED.

But some TV jokery from just 5 years ago is also disallowed.

June Cleaver, the last of a dead breed. She was the wife on a TV show who wasn’t quite as smart as her husband. The good ole days, no PC BS.

She’ didn’t say:

“Chump don’t want no help, chump don’t GET no help..!”

She said something totally different from chump, and somehow, right there, that word made it hilarious.

EVERYONE, black and white, laughed their heads off.

But in the New And Improved America, everyone is miserable.

Who knew in 1980 that we would have so much great literature written in Ebonics by 2019?

The original dialogue of these two black passengers was written by white guys:

When the two black actors showed up to do the scene, they immediately had objections; they felt it wasn’t authentic —it STILL sounded white.

Immediately they blazed out their own, alternative version on the sly.

The pair first said and shot the original cr*p they’d been given, but then begged to also do their own version:

In the end, everyone agreed the words of these two minor actors were indeed immeasurably better, and in the final cut they went with what these regular guys dreamed up in 3 min.

Did they leave the word in for the DVD version?

“Three’s Company”

Who thinks they could make that sit-com today..?

A straight guy PRETENDING to be gay..?

Or La Cage aux Foles..?

Two incredibly gay guys who must suddenly put on a big charade, pretending to be straight.

It wouldn’t be permitted.

Same for Mel Brooks’ History of the World.

Same for In Living Color’s “Men on Film”.

Same also for many sketches on Mad TV.

Technically I don't know but my guess is if the DVD were made recently the word would be censored.

I had always thought that was just a joke but she really did say that.

Make up a language? The English spoken by the 660,000 men who died to free them ain’t enough? This “jive” talk and fancy handshakes bore me to no end.
