“We’ll take the African-Americans, the Mexicans and the Chinese but we don’t want the IRISH.”

Just not as funny as the original.

WHO thinks you could do this scene..?

Cuz you KNOW the punchline at the end, and sorry, you can't say that.

You can't so much it's amazing we once could.

Hilarious, though.

Always liked his stuff.

The definition of political correctness should be: It is someone who has a broomstick up their @zz and it makes them humorless and they are forcing you to have one too..

I found that I could not watch Blazing Saddles on TV anymore as it was so heavily edited that it really wasn’t funny anymore. So I found a 4 dollar DVD of the uncut version and it is hilarious to watch again. There are a few other movies I had to find the uncut versions but I did.
