NASCAR bans the confederate flag

[DinkinFlicka]

Wait, people still think Chris Rock is funny?

Never did it for me.

Race based humor is fine. It's your prerogative to be offended. I enjoy Mel Brooks movies and comedians who are adept at using race as a platform for comedy.

I think what people used to understand, like Mel Brooks, is that context and intent matter.

Today, anything have anything remotely to do with race (whether it's a joke or not) is stripped, I think intentionally, of context and intent to portray it in the worst possible light. UF getting rid of the "Gator Bait" chant is a perfect example.

Richard Pryor helped Mel Brooks write Blazing Saddles.

Makes sense.

I'd say my favorite Brooks film is definitely Spaceballs.

He is a cartoon character, definitely not funny

Dave Chappelle is a comedic genius.

You should hear him on the serious stuff, too. Very intelligent.

I think he’s the best there has ever been.

She's gone from suck......to blow

As of 2:26 it’s still there. I am starting to question your ability to use the internet

It's 2:32 and I just left there. Only story is about a conversation about a crab between Bubba and the King. And I can surf the internet quite well, thank you.

I will stop and just let you keep digging.

Eddie Murphy Tour 2020 | Get Tickets Here!
Actor, standup, and all-around comedy legend Eddie Murphy is hitting the road on a major tour for the first time since 1987, and while we don't know much about his plans just yet, we do know that this is one of the most hotly anticipated comedy events of the decade!

Eddie Murphy - Wikipedia

Last standup was in 1987. PLans for a tour. No sets performed. So any complaint about Eddie Murphy is based on Delirious from 1987.

lol. Please keep it up. I'm loving this

I'm surrounded by asshoIes!

 

[VolStrom]

I'm not so sure.

I find John Oliver to be categorically hilarious. On the flip, I really love the oldschool Mel Brooks films, and we can all agree that Blazing Saddles wouldn't blow over well today.

I don't let politics fuel everything in my life.

I keep comparing the current crop of late night TV comedians to when Johnny Carson or Jay Leno were on. They didn't do anything political other that to crack a joke about politicians stumbling or falling or making a gaff. Now days they have become so serious and everything they do is so not funny.

Not black or white, but I don't see liberals having a sense of humor at all. They just seem to be bitter and angry about any and everything. If I hated the world I'd be pissed all of the time too.

I’m a liberal by definition and I’m the funniest person I know!

Plane with ‘Defund NASCAR,’ Confederate Flag Banner Flies Above Talladega Superspeedway

TALLADEGA, Alabama — It has been a little more than a week since NASCAR instituted a ban on Confederate flags at its facilities.

High above the track an hour prior to the scheduled start of the race was a plane with the Confederate flag and an accompanying message, “Defund NASCAR.”

man, they are trying their best to hold on to that 5 years worth of heritage....

Makes sense.

I'd say my favorite Brooks film is definitely Spaceballs.

Blazzing Saddles, Frankenstein, and SpaceBalls are the holy trinity of MB movies for me.

Even Conan?

Hmm.

Ohhh, I'd say Men in Tights edges out Frankenstein.

A little issue called COVID kinda stopped the tour, you might have heard of it. He 100% still does standup.

Is he on somewhere?

Never has a truer statement been made in the PF.

Amazing, that is the same combination as on my luggage.

Honestly, as good as Spaceballs was, i still think the best comedy movie of that "genre" was Airplane! and Naked Gun....Leslie Neilsen was simply the best at deadpan comedic delivery

Conservative comedian....goes together like a peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

sacriledge!

Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman are better than any Robin Hood...even one with a British accent.

While admittedly a small sample size, my 2 year old daughter laughs at everything I do, thus I must be hilarious!
