The thing is, the movie itself is fine. It is self contained satire that never tries to pass itself off as more than an absurd joke. It's that everyone is citing it as prophetic or relevant that's the issue. Ironically, the people that can only process real events through their favorite fiction aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.
XKCD 603 has never been more relevant than this |

Blazing Saddles? For the time,it was genius....is the blatant racism still funny.... I would say yes because Mel brooks forces you to evaluate it and then laugh or don't laugh. |

Everything Rob Schieder started in. None were very well liked even when they were fresh, but things like "Big Stan", in which his pipsqueak convict character has to go on a karate-kid-style journey to learn martial arts from David Carrodine in order to fend off rapists before he heads off to prison is kind of a case study in a whole genre that could be called 'damn, you really thought that was ...
he's the one that hasn't aged well. gone off the deep end, he has. antivax, transphobe, trumpette, pimps for moms for liberty.. you name it. actually got pulled from the stage in Regina (ca) during an event two years ago, in the middle of his routine, due to piss-poor taste and 'inappropriate' (to say the least) content. src |

I nominate "Dude, Where's My Car?". I thought this was screamingly funny when it came out. It was the movie everyone quoted until "Napoleon Dynamite" came out. I tried rewatching it maybe a year or two ago and it's aged like milk. Too much of the comedy relies on unhealthy stereotypes & tropes.

Two that come to mind to me are Click and That's my Boy. Both Adam Sandler movies of course. The first one is very queerphobic and sexist, and the second one is a story about pedophilia. Still surprised they managed to get Christopher Walken for Click tbh... |

I got free-ticket coupons when the film melted in the middle of (an inconsequential scene in) Shaft. We chose to see Dude, Where's My car?. I still want my money back. It's got two very quotable bits, but the rest I didn't like in the slightest. Both leads have done better work! |

The black sheriff isn't the butt of the jokes, the dumb fuck racists are. However, there are some gay jokes toward the end, but they aren't too mean. |

One of the most legitimate uses of the n-word in media is to make racist idiots look even worse. And the people of the land scene is pure gold. |

If I remember correctly, the "you know, morons" line was ad-libbed and Cleavon's laugh was genuine. |

The idiots weren't well-meaning with hearts of gold. They enjoyed guys actually getting kicked in the balls, gladiator games, and extreme objectification of women.
That's little more than cartoonish at worst. No one in the film is truly evil the way that real world oligarchs are evil. |

Immediately? Is there anything bad about it until the very end when he gets the clue about the chief? Also, there still are people like that. It's just unfortunate that it's the main character. |

I recall quite liking the parody film, Unfastened Coins It's a non-serious exploration of the sinking of the Titanic, told in an over the top conspiratorial tone with nonsensical theories and conclusions, similar to Loose Change

7 Dwarfs - The Forrest is not enought In german there is a joke being done i think 3 times: "Holt den Jäger!" (Get the Hunter!) Yeaaaah...do i need to elaborate? 2006...what a different time of society, especially in germany. Then there is basicly all of the Star Trek Parodies "(T)Raumschiff Suprise" by Michael Bully Herbig |

I haven't thought of it in years but i suspect me myself and irene might have some questionable parts. I highly recommend the first few episodes of "dead like me" though. Perfectly captures the y2k/bondi blue imac g3 aesthetic.
Dead like me is great. I wish they had the chance to completely finish the story. |

still hilarious, also the only actual good black face ever used
There's an episode of an old sitcom called Gimme A Break I would recommend. A white kid did blackface in front a bunch of black people, and the hard-r n-word was spoken uncensored by Nell Carter. The DC character Amanda Waller was modeled after her both physically and force of will, iirc. |

Someone completely ruined the band Alt+j for me years ago by pointing out that the singer's voice sounds like Adam Sandler doing that goofy squeaky voice. Now I cannot unhear it. Every time I hear a song by them it makes me lol. Now I've passed this onto you, and whoever reads this. You've now been cursed as well. |

I tried watching it after hearing about it here a few times... I was shocked at how it's basically just a comedy for rich white conservatives. If anything its message is supportive of fascism; the whole premise is that poor people are stupid and rich people are smart, and humanity 500 years in the future has gotten stupider because the rich people failed to control the poors and got "great replaced" by stupid poor people... why anyone on Lemmy thinks it's good is beyond me |

It actually holds up better when you interpret the guy walking out of, and back onto the closet, without either of them aware, in one of the first scenes, as demonstrating the theme of the movie. |

Eurotrip - the whole dvd. I clicked through rewatching some of it and it’s generically raunchy, like it was trying to outcompete the American Pie movie for sex references and topless women. Edit: It can be very depressing in winter. |
