"white guilt" is a fucking lazy ass punch from lazy ass people. I don't have guilt. I just know the score. White privileged people have long defined the humor and the entertainment that all of society digest.

That screw is turning now, and it's fucking funny how uncomfortable it makes some people.

Just look at the watchmen thread.

I don’t know what “score” you’re talking about, but looks like you are loosing.

Bro, how can you have an Archer character as your Avatar and not seen this picture?

I feel like you need to go see this, The Producers, and History of the World Part I immediately.

Point taken. :laughing Actually I have seen the producers, but somehow never got around the other two. I know what I will be doing this weekend. :laughing

Bruh, you remember the time you lost your shit and started posting on all my friend's pages about how they're communists?

Good times.

Budman...lock this one already. It's no good for teh brafs.
 
When did people start forgetting the the age old saying sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me?

Humor takes on many forms. Some is very clean, wholesome, and very PC. Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, and *cough*Bill Cosby have all been unoffensive with how they try to make people laugh. Some humor is super edgy and usually frequently calls on racial stereotypes, vulgarity, and such to draw the laughs. Case in point, Mel Brooks’ masterpiece Blazing Saddles. Same can be said of stand up acts like Chris Rock or Louis CK.

Different strokes for different folks. Don’t want to hear Chris Rock drop the n-bomb 35 times in his act, or see the exploits of the town of Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles? Or maybe Ted Stryker’s “drinking problem” in Airplane offends you because alcoholism is a serious thing and shouldn’t be made light of? Don’t fucking subject yourself to it if you actually get hurt by words and/or acting in a film or tv show. Perhaps your church group or whatever can tell you when Jeff Foxworthy’s act is coming back to town. That should be safe for your tender sensitive self.

Seinfeld is a rare bird, but for the most part, PC humor is fucking lame to me. I’m a god damn grown up. I can tell the difference between a joke and actual malice. So forgive me if I much prefer to laugh my ass off at Mongo punching his horse instead of immediately picking up the phone....oh I mean going on Twitter and tweeting @PETA and trying to get Blazing Saddles removed from existence because of a joke that someone didn’t think was funny.

I’m not a big fan of the term “snowflake” because people are so quick to call people that. But I can see why it gets thrown around so much these days with so many people who seem to have been making a career out of being offended.

When I was a kid and saw Blazing Saddles, I thought it was funny because of fart jokes and horse punching.

It's not one of my favorites but to get offended by the humor is to miss the point completely.

The Producers is the most highly acclaimed, the next 2 are more absurdist and silly, but totally worth it. Dr. Krieger is also my favorite.

You know, this evening I was at Rambo: Last Blood, laughing my ass off as this guy was getting his heart carved out with a survival knife, and I think maybe that is not true.

Funny is in the eye of the beholder.

:laughing
 
Good and bad dialog in here. I thought about this thread and the movie and actually tried to watch it again last night but fell asleep.
The movie picks up on every cliche of the time. Airplane is similar in its perceived inappropriateness.
The world is changing and perhaps it’s movies like Blazing Saddles that put it right out there in our faces that are “waking” us.

This is the problem with Political Correctness.
One person is offended, so they think they can insult their way into forcing a correction.
The Majority are offended by the Minority Offended, so they think there should be a dog pile.

Im tired of hearing about White Privilege. I think it is just back handed reverse discrimination. I’m White by birth. I don’t go judging people because they are not white. But I am judgy, when you act the fool.

FWIW, I’ve experienced discriminators because of gender not race. I’ve seen very subtle discrimination occur right in front of me based on race. We absolutely need people to point it out to us and we need to squirm. Mel Brooks’ comedy makes me uncomfortable because it is so blatant. I don’t find it offensive, more like getting slapped. I also find it hilarious for that reason.
 
I agree discrimination should be called out. But the White Privileged thing is painting all people with a broad brush.
 
I get that, but to say it doesn’t exist is naive.
