Though the actual argument for why you couldn’t make Blazing Saddles now is the the entire genre it’s lampooning is dead.
The humor is pretty much still fine and flies, other than Mel playing a Native American, but even that is still kinda-maybe-sorta-okayish-maybe? since Mel’s character isn’t the butt of the joke, but other than that brief scene I can’t recall anything that watching now makes me cringe.
Huh. TIL.

Men in Tights, however…
What’s wrong with Men in Tights?
They roam around the forest looking for fights.
Every decent joke in the film was a repeat from a previous, better Mel Brooks film.
