Really? /s
Mel Brooks would be financially and socially destroyed for making Blazing Saddles today. The movie would not see the light of day, and you’d never hear from Mel Brooks again.
The best retort to an offensive, racist joke, is an even morre racist, offensive joke directed back at the original person. Everybody wins.
I’m Catholic and the inquisition scene from History of the World kills me :)
“Let’s face it. You can’t talk him outta anything!” lol
Blazing Saddles. “You sissy marys”
lol!!
Dropping 5 of the 15 commandments :) He’s Jewish and he went there. Always liked his movies.

Could the family sitcoms of the ‘50s and ‘60s be made today? Nowadays sitcoms seemingly require smart ass kids and homosexuals.
Could a hard hitting show such as “All In The Family” with Archie Bunker and meathead be made today?
heck, I never see “All in the Family” in reruns on any channel nowadays. Is it being censored, similar to how Disney has censored their own “Song of the South” movie??
This is why I own Blazing Saddles and used to own Song of the South. Historical reference.
I’ve got a friend that is definitely NOT a racist but collects “collectable” 78’s. He has one with a song on it called “Darkies love their watermelon.” I kid you not.
