That's racist!

It's incredibly funny, but there's no way in hell that movie would ever be made today. I recall thinking if you really paid attention that it was just as much of a play on stupid white people as it was racist.
The funny thing is I think the gay bashing is what would make most people lose their sh!t now.
 
Does the campfire farting seen ever lose its appeal? Made me laugh as a kid. Makes me laugh now.
Except when it’s played on TV and they censor out the farting noises. Ridiculous. Mel Brooks movie but Richard Pryor was co-writer and that’s where some of the saltier stuff comes from.
It probably did more to show the ignorance of racism than people want to acknowledge.

Nice trivia nugget. I did not know Pryor co wrote on the movie. Thanks
 
Do you remember Taggart from that movie? At least I think that was the character's name. He was Slim Pickens' side kick, and he had a real big, toothy grin. He was also one of the Flying Elvises in some movie. He does ads for a big Dodge dealer in Bonham, Texas in their ebay ads.

I meet him at a charity event. He signed a still picture of the scene where they were all eating beans. The inscription says ‘first in motion picture history”.

I was surprised by that as well. But it's only fitting that Blazing Saddles was the first movie to have audible fart noises.

Asian woman I work with was brought a Mexican guy to train. She went to the office and told them she didn't like Mexicans, and wasn't working with him. I'd that racist? If that had been a white man say that, he'd been fired, guaranteed.
IS she hot?
