Snowflakes wake up in the morning thinking what am I going to be offended by today???????

Comedians defend the 'absurdity' of edgy, beloved classics like 'Blazing Saddles,' 'Airplane!' and more

Movie critics explain why 'Blazing Saddles,' 'Airplane!,' 'Grease' and more probably wouldn't make the cut in today's culture

The common joke goes, "Blazing Saddles has been edited for TV. It will air from 8:00-8:07."

The wild 1970s western from Mel Brooks has sparked social media debate in recent years over whether it could survive today's cancel culture. The film is rife with jokes about racism and sexism, but fans of the film say that's the point. It's one of several old, beloved movies that critics muse could never be produced among current sensitivities.
