Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of Mel Brooks’s movie Blazing Saddles, when people were allowed to laugh at themselves.
Mel Brooks was a genius at what he did.
They won’t make movies like this any longer because they’re not PC; they’re just hysterical. Before you get to watch the movie, you have to watch this woman tell you it’s racist, blah, blah, blah.
It’s not racist – it’s the opposite. It mocks racists as dummies.
Remember when we could laugh at ourselves, and life was more carefree. The younger people don’t get to experience that.
When I was married, my father-in-law told us he felt sorry for us getting married in these times. It sounded silly, and I get it now.
These are from a different movie:
