Attacks on education and science by self promoters have been successful, a huge lack of education and historical perspective around both left And right. The Producers was what used to be called "adult humor" and since there are no adults left, there is a gap, and it's become an educational movie (so we don't forget what adult humor can be). I hated Blazing Saddles (except for Mongo punching a horse which was a riot)(Mongo is just a funny name, people who look for malice are boring) farting jokes never make me laugh, anything with Terry Garr gets my Attention, (I loved Young Frankenstrein) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76092039 A story about two friends, guys, who spend so much time together that people in a downtown social circle start wondering if they are gay? Sure, they could do that now, but they wouldn't because it's just good writing. Unfortunately they wouldn't do the amazing "Master Of My Domain" show because they'd be able to use the word, which takes away lots of the jokes. "I'm out". |

True story. When the movie originally came out I was in high school. Our school team was the Pioneers. We had 4 black guys on the football team and being politically correct we referred to them as Sheriffs. So we'd shout to our teammate in front of the crowds "here comes our sheriff, he is a near. ". Of course people not on the team, not privy to the joke thought we were using an abbreviation of "he's a pioneer, a neer." Life goes on, you grow up and have kids and don't go to the old school games. Fast forward 30 years and my daughter comes home proudly wearing her homecoming t-shirt, Go Neers! Yes, the abbreviation has become the preferred nickname because it takes less ink. School super, principal, teachers, parents, nobody has a clue about how the nickname came about. They all think it's always been that way. I told her about it. She had never seen Blazin Saddles. Oh if they only read GLP! Purity of Essence |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15575561 ![]() 06/23/2018 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Strangely enough, the big controversy at the time was Mongo. You see at this time, the word mongoloid was used and dying out as a word for children who through birth defects had mental challenges and were also labeled "retarded" ie developmental delay. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72341210 So parents of these children were incensed and felt Mongo was a veiled reference to these children. But it was not. The black sheriff was not the issue and both white and black Americans laughed at the situations. After all he's virile and praised for it as well as successful. puuuuhleeeeez ! white bread never HEARD OF MONGO SANTAMARIA ? which in the movie a bystander exclaims ? as in calling upon Santa Maria for help ? play on words ? there was no uproar beyond people laughin their arses off. in todays BS atmosphere of SELECTIVE OUTRAGE, Mel Brooks would be blacklisted- even the ads back when for Young Frankenstein-Brooks voice over "filmed in BLACK AND WHITE ooops etc" -had people laughing. the REAL Producers ? with Zero Mostel ?? max bialystock ? Springtime for Hitler etc etc ??? NO WAY TODAY. the little sanitized wads DO NOT KNOW how to take a joke and laugh. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52739063 The farting was not 'about' anything. It was fart humor. Sometimes things are simple, no deeper meaning. What will really blow your mind is watching the chopped up television version where the censors edited out the farts, and the scene is just the guys sitting around eating beans, and taking turns standing up. |
