Blazing Saddles, especially since, as they say, you couldn't make it today. 'Course, now that's less because you can't say the n-word and more because all the anti-racism would trigger the MAGA CHUDs.

Blazing saddles is a fun and wild ride. I came in expecting nothing and got kind off for blown off my socks! This movie is so much fun.

I've seen TV censor the freaking FARTING 'ROUND THE CAMPFIRE scene, while keeping the slurs.

But also: All Mel Brooks' stuff would fit the question, imo. Not just Blazing Saddles.

Sure, but somebody else already mentioned Mel Brooks films in general. I wanted to highlight that one uniquely because of the factor I mentioned.

Exactly! Always seems like the 'you could never make it today!' crowd is saying that the woke mob would get mad or some shit.

Do they think that Blazing Saddles isn't woke? The whole fucking movie is making fun of dumb white racists!
