      Im a fan of Blazing Saddles… It’s got a lot of racism throughout and the Boomers loved it. But I cant stand The Big Bang Theory or Monk, and every Boomer i know loves those shows. Steve Martin is a comedic genius – he’s a Boomer and popular with the Boomers. I liked Dave Chapelle and that shit was racist AF. So I dunno where I stand anymore.

        I mean, ‘Blazing Saddles’ mocked racism, not reveled in it.

        Also btw, in case you don’t know: ‘Top Gear’ was scripted entirely, including the car ‘reviews’. They were sued by a company supplying cars for one episode, when the crew showed up with scripts detailing what would ‘go wrong’ with the cars at what time.
