U.S.—Riotous crowds rushed brick and mortar stores today to pick up copies of Mel Brooks' groundbreaking comedy Blazing Saddles before it permanently goes down the memory hole due to jokes that are off-limits in today's enlightened society of love and tolerance.
Hundreds of thousands of frenzied Americans charged into stores, fighting over the few copies of the movie still left on shelves.
"It was mine -- I saw it first!" shouted one man as he elbow-dropped another rioter in a Best Buy. "Hand it over, ya little weasel!" The pair fought over the Blu-ray for a few minutes before the elbow-dropper finally won out and headed for the checkstand with his prize. The other, more beta man was forced to buy a copy of Pitch Perfect instead.
Similar scenes of violence and chaos broke out all around the country as people suddenly realized there was no way Blazing Saddles would remain on streaming services very long, with even jokes that are clearly mocking racism and bigotry being deleted from dozens of shows in the past few weeks.
Next week, crowds are expected to be fighting over the last few copies of the next movie to be canceled for being too offensive, Paddington 2.
“Hang on while I whip this out.”
Matthew, Mark, Luke and DUCK.......lol
I bought it a few years ago when the liberals were going violent against all things humorous.

Shecky,,,?
.
I’ll have to Whip
Out my Copy,,,
I probably should be picking up a few copies...
My family all know that if I get Alzheimer’s bad, they are to leave me in a room with a copy of Blazing Saddles running over and over.
The scene of riding through the desert to 40’s swing music, and passing the Count Basie Band, who tip their hats, is worth the price of admission.
As is the toll booth.
My daughter in law does an outstanding voice impersonation of Lilly Von Schtupp. Very convincing. and weird.
He was funny and Gregory Hines was hilarious in that movie.....all of Brooks cast members in every movie played their parts so well we can after all these years still quote them.......so long ago.......nobody can laugh anymore.
Speaking of films, Ennio Morricone, composer of many film scores, most known for his work on the Sergio Leone-Clint Eastwood “Spaghetti Westerns”, died today at 91.
A true master.
I’m so tired...of this PC crap.
I have it on both VHS and DVD. :)
You might check your channel list for “IFC” OR “IFCHD”.
It carries a number of sitcoms but movies are presented in full with no editing for time or content.
A search on “Lethal Weapon” might help you find the channel of course it features the commie Danny Glover but at least it might help you find the channel. ;-)
