#1 Watch some millennial first-time viewings of Airplane and Blazing Saddles. They generally get the humor, just are amazed either film was ever made.

On the other hand, I saw one turn into a Mel Brooks fan-girl, so some of them get the movies entirely.

#2 "Excuse me while I whip this out..." Another is Blazing Saddles.

#4 Kentucky Fried Movie.

Sad truth is they couldn't even make the more watered down movies in this genre UHF or Don't Be A Menace. I had to watch Tropic Thunder the other day just to flush the vanilla from my system. Been catching East Europe/Russia/India/Korea films because they don't dribble in the nonsense. Even China has a decent movie here and there which isn't laden in propaganda.

#5 This communist cancel culture sucks all the joy out of life without making the world better. Time to cancel them.

#6 You can still be yourself in select company. Once you retire and no longer have to worry about being fired, you can cut loose. Just don't, as has been pointed out here by many, put it out on social media.

#7 Most of cancel culture is a small group of SJW with twitter accounts that magnifies their message and makes it look like they have broad support.

The people opposed to cancel culture need to get twitter accounts and drown out the SJW. Show everyone the anger brigade is small in numbers, embarrass and humiliate them for their lack of humor and tolerance and just outright call them a hater when appropriate.

#8 People who oppose Cancel Culture aren't allowed on Twitter.
That's the whole point of Twitter's censorship - to filter out opposing views and magnify the SJW crowd far beyond their actual size.
