It is telling that one of the greatest satirical comedies of all time made in 1974, Blazing Saddles, could not be made today because people would wet their pants over the use of the “N” word. The point of the movie was to point out the absurdity of racism, but we are way too stupid to understand this in 2025.

It was nominated for 3 Academy Awards. It would even meet the DIE requirement for a sheriff who’s near as Best Supporting Actor.

Too many.

Saw Blazing Saddles first run at the single screen theater in my college town. Never laughed so hard.
