It's fine, you can still sell it in China, so no big deal.

I preferred Blazing Saddles myself

This was the absolute pinnacle of comedy IMO.

God I love this movie. True irreverent humor that I don't want to know if people contained about. Nude breasts that perfectly fit the MPAA PG nudity guidelines of "brief and non-sexual". So many quotable one-liners. The sight gags were on point and perfectly timed. I WISH movies like this could be made. Scary Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, and all the other parody movies are great, but do not hold a candle to the Airplane! movies.

Naked Gun is another great one.

Kentucky Fried Movie is up there as well.

The obvious one is Blazing Saddles.

Then there is "the gods must be crazy" which I thought was amazing

"It's true what they say, cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside"

I loved the Naked Gun movies.

The Hot Shots movies were funny too.

People have gotten less sensitive over time, we just don't laugh at someone saying the n word or making light of sexual assault any more. I grew up on the dark web and the things people say/do nowadays blows even some of the worst stuff I seen there out of the water. Society is maturing, not regressing. Ignore the whingings of hack comedians who still think squinty Asian eyes and bad accents are the pinnacle of humor.
