I have only seen or heard one genuinely funny comedy routine involving the use of the 'N-word': Dave Chappel's piece in which he plays a blind, black white-supremacist. It works precisely because it lampoons both racism, and the African-American embrace of the epithet.

(Actually I think Chappel's best work always works by simultaneously mocking white and black folk in complementary or contrasting ways.)

I always thought Blazing Saddles was funny.
