So far Dave Chapelle hasn’t let the Debbie downers affect his comedy

It’s not a movie that needs to be or should be remade.

If Cleese could dial up the anti-woke satire that would be great, but it would be career death for actors to say the lines.

"One of the favorite targets of the Monty Python troupe was political activists who lacked any humor or self-awareness."

This is why there is the push. Because at some level the activist realizes the truth of their position is exposed.

Can you imagine trying to make “Blazing Saddles” or “The Producers” today? The number of triggered snowflakes out there running for their safe spaces would be epic!

Even decades later, the humor of the Monty Python movies is razor sharp.

A bunch of humorless functionaries review a hilarious script to remove every line that might offend someone. The result is a virtual haiku of disconnected observations without a punchline.

That happened long ago to Blazing Saddles as it was shown on TV. I bought my DVD of it about 15 years ago. Still watch it sometimes, even though I pretty much have the whole thing memorized by now.

My wife and I went to see it when it was first released. We walked out halfway through. Not what we were expecting at all.

Here’s an idea: make jokes about people who have no sense of humor. Some are already doing it with the “Karen”, and “Let’s go Brandon shtick”. There needs to be a woke icon that can be the brunt of most humor. A running joke, so to speak. Woketards hate being laughed at. They really don’t understand it.

The ‘tards are an odd bunch. They do not like good comedy. I think it is because they do not understand complex humor. They likely laugh along with others (it’s what they do) without true understanding.

They understand butt, sex, poop, and ding-dong jokes and that’s about it.

Idiocracy was prescient.

Remake?!

“So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space,
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth!”

If these people bowing to the demands of “activists” only knew how few the “activists” really represented, they’d toss them out on their ear.

I hope Clease calls their bluff. Expose them to be the tiny band of crybabies that they are.

Life if Brian is despicably blasphemous. I never liked it, I don’t think it’s funny, I never thought Monty Python was all that funny, and the fact that George Harrison helped finance the movie put him and his cynical ilk in a darker place then they previously inhabited.

Making fun of Christianity never went out of style in Hollywood.

Liberals/democrats/”progressives” have ZERO sense of humor and they want to inflict that on the rest of us.
