    Blazing Saddles is the epitome of Mel Brooks humor that has aged well. It’s an amazing satire of racism that is still on point for today (unfortunately).

      Huh, I had the opposite reaction. I see your point about satirizing racism, but I couldn’t get past the gratuitous n-bombs every other line.

        They are everywhere for a reason. The people who commonly drop n-bombs aren’t the heroes. Hell, the redemption of the town is that they’ll be less racist going forward.
