Political correctness (PC) is killing comedy

Was watching animal house last night on HBO and it hit me that the movie itself could probably not be made today. It would trigger too many libs and calls for boycotting in a Democratic Society would contradict itself once again.

Same goes for Blazing Saddles, Airplane! and even The Jerk. All American Classics that could not be made today all thanks to the PC crowd.

Agree, snowflakes always be complaining about some weak-a$$ PC shat! You should heck out the show “Who is America” on HBO. Super funny and totally not PC. Only snowflakes get offended by that show.

Hey, you from the TV show Friends now is not liberal enough for today's Libs.

its not "libs" or "conservatives" its millennials. this younger generation is across the board offended by everything. most of the comedians are being attacked by both sides of the political spectrum.

.... and lets not forget the ORIGINAL PC group was the P.M.R.C..... not a liberal group at all!

Animal house was racist as shlt. embarrassingly so.

PC does ruin comedy, I agree, but doesn't explain why there are literally no genuinely funny right wing comedians, which is kind of amazing. They have full license to say what they want but still fail so, so bad.

I don't think genius creative types are ever going to be attracted to the right wing.

I mean you have ........Tim Allen?

cardboard dad jokes with a laugh track.....fun

What scenes in Animal House do you think would now cause liberal outrage? I'm liberal, liked the movie and and have no idea what you are talking about.

the 'primitive cultures' bit was much worse....the one that actually crossed the line between comedy and just plain old fashioned racism.

Creative types are not always genius. Problem is, you guys keep telling yourself that. Then explain this, why can't Hollywood come up with a new idea for a movie that is not predictable? Or why do they have to rip off other countries movies? Or, why do they have to keep doing remakes? Or why do they have to keep making sequels over the same stupid stuff about Spiderman, Batman or any take off there of?

Is that your genius?

That is 100% due to marketing/financial department, not the creative side. In short, dumbed down movies make more money. There are way more dumb ticket buyers than genius ticket buyers.

and to stay on topic, right wing comedy is god-awful. It's amazing with 40 million+ voting for trump that they can't produce even ONE top level comedian.

What happened to Gallagher? He liked to share some not politically correct thoughts when he' wasn't smashing stuff.

I thought Trimp's joke about throwing a DNA kit at Elizabeth Warren was comedy gold.

you think sam hyde isn't a top level comedian?

You wouldn't need to go back that far...

That movie would be boycotted today by all the progressive dumb a**es!!! Great movie and I'm saying it as a liberal, too. If you never saw it, give it a shot and enjoy;)

Btw, it's the progressives who are destroying the society and their obsession for righting the all possible wrongs in society they can find.

Never in a millions years could this be broadcast now.

No it's not. The stand up comedy is so much better now than the racist/anti-women garbage of the 80s/90s/2000s. You just don't want to move on from or acknowledge what people are talking about today. Just to name a few- Hasan Minaj- Homecoming King, Hannah Gadsby- Nanette, Kamau Bell- Private School Negro- are all excellent. Maybe people want to create a world where the content people see is not offensive towards women and people of color.

Lolz at everyone saying it is millennials getting offended .... while HR at any corporation is standing room only with 40-60 year olds complaining someone hurt their feelings
