I showed this movie to my dad when he was in his 90's. Said what the hell is a blazing saddle? Never saw him laugh so much at a movie.

You can still make jokes about race. The only catch is that the joke has to be funny. You can't just say something racist and call it a joke

Not to mention the characters take ownership of the racist things thrown at them and defuse it with laughter.

Yeah, the "laugh at the racists" lesson could use a refresher dispersal.

Probably for the best. If someone tried to remake Blazing Saddles, there would be a riot. And not just from the PC crowd.

I wonder what the Venn diagram of "people whining about PCness ruining humor" and "people offended by Ghost Busters remake" looks like.

South Park kinda got grandfathered in, since it's been going since '97. A better example would have been Rick and Morty.

Even in the 90s, there was a feeling that movies like Blazing Saddles or shows like All in the Family couldn't be made.

Rick and morty and Southpark are great examples of breaking the norm but they are on private network and are aired outside of prime time 1/2

This gives them a great amount of leeway on what the can and cannot say. Even so it would just be edited then reissued on Blu-ray.

You can present satire in an adult fashion while still poking fun at the subject e.g. Mel Brooks and Monty Python

That's the only way to get away with what they are actually saying. Easier for people not take it seriously.
