Jerry Seinfeld on why he no longer does shows at colleges

[<MADDOG>]

Funny you mention that, I was watching it before the hockey game.
We have become such a nation of pussies.

Could you imagine the remakes of "Sanford and Son" or "All in the Family"???

Southpark

Gran Torino had a bunch of good non-pc zingers. Blazing Saddles set the standard though.

Count Da Money!

Mmm .... Count De Monet was "History of the World Part I", not "Blazing Saddles", but that was another film that probably couldn't be made in today's environment.

The fight scene at the end of "Blazing Saddles" couldn't be filmed today, especially Dom Deluise's lines.

"Gran Torino" got away with it because Clint set his character to be a tough, not-particularly-likable vet which let the audience dislike some of what he did (or pretend they did) and like his final actions.

There is a distinct difference in the kind of edgy you get in something like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" versus "Blazing Saddles" or "Young Frankenstein" or even "Running Scared". I pretty much can't stand Devito anymore.

The very first episode involves use of the "N word" by white people describing a black employee, along with ribs about interracial dating, gay rape, and trying to fleece race-based sales pitches. And it airs on basic cable. It is far more edgy than Blazing Saddles, in my opinion. I hate the PC climate that is rapidly swallowing up every aspect of our lives, but I don't think we're done for quite yet. As long as shows like Sunny and South Park are on, we're a dozen steps ahead of the PC police.

It just occurred to me, I've never had occasion to use these emoji but now's the time for them:




All of which will probably land me in

Ha! That's right! Another Mel Brooks classic. Got em mixed up. Remember, buzzed posting is drunk posting.
