In Honor of Blazing Saddles getting a “proper social context disclaimer”...

I think we should mock the living shit out of these people who think we are morons and need everything put into the “proper social context” for us.

Thank you HBO Max, for letting me know what is wrong and what is right in film, otherwise I would have no idea. I couldn’t figure out that Blazing Saddles was satire. I can't figure any of this stuff out unless they tell me. 🙄

Pick a film you think should get the “disclaimer”, and then explain what the “disclaimer” should say. If we can’t stop the humorless, pathetic, self righteous, “moral authority” in this country, keep ripping on how idiotic they think we are.

So...in this offended pussified new world, I now demand a disclaimer for “Jaws” to tell me that sharks eating people is bad, but they can't help it because they are just animals.

Can you think of any good disclaimer warnings to protect us from the “dangers” of films like Blazing Saddles and Gone With The Wind?

I might need another disclaimer for “Rocky” to tell me it’s bad to break people’s thumbs. 🖕🏻

Lolita: "Disclaimer: Having sex with little girls is bad. This film was made many years ago and they didn't know better. We have evolved and now realize getting it on with kiddies is not good. Remember that while watching this film."

reply

Yes... a simple Lolita disclaimer could have prevented a lot of trouble for lots of people

Premium Cable needs to tag The Life Of Brian with an explanation...It's still unclear if Brian was The Christ and I'm losing sleep over it!!!

reply

I guess a warning about Teri Garr's boobs is in order for Young Frankenstein

reply

Yes, in these delicate times that could prevent a lot of...awkward feelings

LOL, bro!

Lolita: "Remember, no matter how sexually confident she comes across or how much she flirts or teases you. You will still be arrested if you give in".

reply

Hahaha, this is a perfect disclaimer for 2020!

“Just in case you didn’t realize it, banging underage girls is bad.”

Duhhhhhhhhhhh. How would I have ever known if not for the disclaimer? 😂

The Godfather: "Disclaimer: The story involves killing lots of people. Crime is bad now and murdering people is not good for society. The right perspective is the one of the people who don't kill everyone."

reply

Yes, that waiter guy in the restaurant scene appeared to be pretty harmless

Let's make The Godfather IV about him!

reply

Hahaha! I love it!

reply

I was deeply offended by this film for years

Praise HBO MAX for educating me on parody, nuance and outright cinematic hilarity

I'm going to go back to eating art class paste now, thank you

reply

Better be careful Shogun, because it has been scientifically proven that eating art class paste makes you fart just as bad as the beans did in the infamous Blazing Saddles campfire scene.

Please note that even though Tony Stark is a rich white man while being a hero on the side, we here at HBO do not condone capitalism, America, nor rich white men. The makers of this film did not know that rich people are racist, homophobic, misogynist, bigoted, and evil.

LMFAO over here! Good one, AR!

I am still more okay with a social context disclaimer than the movie disappearing, but I'll play.

Matrix - Disclaimer: Taking pills from strangers can have a lasting impression on your life and isn't recommended for everyone.

Sleepaway Camp - Disclaimer: Bullying has negative outcomes on those who are bullied as well as those who bully. You don't know what other people are going through, so, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Judy would have fared much better if she heeded the golden rule.


reply

Sleepaway Camp needs some other disclaimer about Ricky’s foul mouth. I love the way he yells “pricks!” Lol

reply

Oh! Very true.

reply

The Twilight Saga disclaimer - The Vampires are not the only things that suck. The films suck as well.
(This coming from a fan of Kristen Stewart)

AMEN, BRO!!

This is more of PC and SJW gone insane, and I'm fucking sick of it!
