Mel Brooks: “Comedy is the lecherous little elf whispering in the king's ear, always telling the truth about human behavior.” Is it?
Does Mel mean “court jester?” Because that guy was supposed to be the only guy WHO MADE FUN OF THE KING.
He was not the guy who made fun of the people for the King’s amusement.
I mean, I’m no medieval studies expert, maybe there was some lecherous elf telling the King that humans were stupid.
I guess he also told the King about all his lecherous thoughts? “What a piece of work is man! Also, look at the tits on that one.”
“PC Culture” is not “killing” comedy. There is still plenty of comedy. There always will be. Times change & so do comedy styles.
There’s plenty of edgy satire out there, stuff that takes on the powerful.
More people have voices now than did before. That’s good. Sometimes they’re going to critique comedy. That’s good.
Oh, and let me save you the trouble: “UH MEL BROOKS IS A LEGENDARY DIRECTOR, WHO ARE YOU, LOSER”
