Blazing Saddles is 50 years old.

Classic. I’ve heard that stand up comics have stopped doing shows on college campuses because of cancel culture. Lighten up Francis

my favorite line is when the black sheriff points a gun at himself and threatens to "shoot the n******"

They couldn’t even make tropic thunder again these days.

The best part is when Gene Wilder shoots like six guys and you can't see his hands move! Lol. Oh, and State your qualifications. Rape, murder, arson, and rape. You said rape twice. I like rape.

Wait one second while I whip this out! My mind is a raging torrent of rivulets of thought cascading into a pool of invigorating alternatives! Gee Mr. Lamar, you use your tongue purdier than a $20 whore! More schnitzelgruben? 14’s my limit baby! And so many more! Saw this at the drive-in movie in 74, and eventually had almost all of the dialog memorized!

Hey, where da white women at?

AND, Mel did Young Frankenstein the same year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB_aegewceU#ddg-play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43QP611zvm0

Damn, Teri Garr was so hot.

Teri Garr was in young Frankenstein. Super hot. Madeleine Kahn is the female lead in Blazing Saddles.

What knockers! Why thank you doctor!

No chance Blazing Saddles is made today. And it SATIRIZES racists, but it uses”unspeak” words…..

Madeliene Khan was Oscar nominated for this. Unusual at the time for a comedy like this. She might have even won. Can't remember. Loved "The Sherrif is near!" and "authentic western gibberish!"

I bought Blazing Saddles on Fios, but then I went and got the DVD also because I'm afraid it might get banned eventually.

Since it's the villains who are the racists, I don't see why it would be banned. Except at colleges with too many hormonal rich white kids. The only character who might get censored is the governor's secretary, because of #metoo. https://deadline.com/2022/12/whoopi-goldberg-pushes-back-claims-blazing-saddles-racist-the-view-1235193040/
