One time, in grad school, the entire cohort was taking a four hour bus trip to a nearby city. A fellow student thought "Blazing Saddles" would be a great choice for a bus crammed full of racially diverse, hard left leaning grads from a school with a very "PC" reputation.

They made it about 10 minutes in before they turned it off due to mass protest. The continued the rest of the ride in silence. The student had to have a sit down talk with the dean.

An entire bus of morons

What? But Blazing Saddles is literally a scathing takedown of racism written by a black man! :psyduck:

Yeah when the guy (who happened to by my roommate) met with the dean he argued "everyone in the movie who is racist is portrayed as a massive idiot". The dean understood and took no action against him. He also countered that some people just don't want to hear the N-Word repeatedly uttered by racist rednecks on what could be considered a work related trip. Both are true. Its a bit short sighted to call everyone on the bus a moron. There were also a lot of non-american students who don't understand the nuance of the film regardless of how clearly satirical it is. It typically leads to black students having to have an N-word conversation with a bunch of Chinese students, which can be painful.

In conclusion, I enjoy galaxy quest and watched it recently.

That line has some of the most perfect comic timing.

And that Dean? Was a retired Marine colonel Albert Einstein
