People that claim Blazing Saddles would never be made today clearly haven't watched a comedy in the past few decades.
I mean Django Unchained got two Oscars and several more nominations and it's way more extreme than Blazing Saddles and is pretty fucking hilarious itself. --- *runs out of topic naked* ... Copied to Clipboard!

That doesn't mean he's right The entire plot could be summed up as: buncha white racist small town folk in the 1870s are outwitted by a black man. If anything, it would have been riskier to make it back then than today. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the humor would definitely play to the right audience today if you got some quality people behind the project. If anything I think it would struggle mainly because the Western genre isn't nearly as popular as it was at the time. That and a lot of the anachronistic humor would be outdated today.
And yeah, it wasn't like the film wasn't controversial in its own time. Brooks had to fight the studio on a number of scenes. --- Scoop #5: Borash tried to interview Bigfoot, but he ran away, Borash suggested if we dance hard enough he will come back ... Copied to Clipboard!
