With all the Wokeness in today's society, it's interesting to think about what movies and shows couldn't get made today. Here's some that come to mind:
1. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - constant use of the f*g word, making fun of gays, etc.
2. Entourage - too much objectifying of women
3. One Tree Hill (2003-2012) underage drinking, objectifying women, various stereotypes, the show is out of control lol.
4. Airplane! (1980) too many to mention, this film would give the Woke ones a meltdown. Kid in cockpit, pilot turns to him and says "Do you like Gladiator films?" Young girl tells a young boy that she likes her coffee black, like her men. Lots of crass humour and cheap shots.
5. The Blues Brothers (1980) 2 white guys in a blues band? Appropriation!
One Tree Hill is insanely entertaining and still is today.
share(3) Pretty sure Euphoria is known for a lot of illegal activity
shareI hate this topic and any one of these movies could be made today if these actors and creators stood up to the cancel culture mob and not apologize for their work. Ben Stiller refuses to apologize for Tropic Thunder which I commend him for.
shareYep, same with Hank Azaria with Apu on The Simpsons, the character is never portrayed in a racist way. So what if it is voiced by a white guy.
shareThat was truly unfortunate. Especially when you realize the character was extremely popular among Indian people.
Hari Kondabolu used it as a means to bolster his failing career and it got out of control.
I worked with a Pakistani guy who would sometimes end his calls with "Thank you come again" and it was hilarious. People are too keen to find offence now.
shareI also find it ironic that so few Indian people even know who Hari Kondabolu is.
shareI'd say AIRPLANE.. Listening to Barbara Billingsley speak Jive was awesome for it's time
shareyeah I mentioned that one above, the film is just one Woke violation after another.
shareJust imagine that movie were never made and instead, were made in 2023 just they way you see it from a Director not giving a shit and made it just to gage a reaction?? How bad does this go over on a scale of 1-10??
shareIf 10 on that scale was the "worst reaction" Airplane would at least be a 12!
The stuff the pilot says to the boy in the cockpit would be seen as grooming and it was seen that way back in 1980 too but we could also see the humour in it.
The cultural appropriation of the Jive talk you mention.
The old lady who hangs herself.
The line of people waiting to slap around the hysterical woman.
It goes on and on.
LOL!!!! Everything you listed I pictured from that movie and it's just awesome.. I get today's generation will think I'm twist for it but oh well. Sue me
shareYep my sense of humour is weird too. Oh and when the main character tries to drink and misses his mouth because he has a drinking problem! Making fun of people for what is now called a "disease". Back then it was just considered a poor choice.
shareYou can make any movie/show you want. This idea that people are more sensitive nowadays is bs invented by the far-right. South Park is still one of the most popular shows of all time, despite being anti-pc af.
What's happening is that we're seeing an increase of diversity in movies. This seems to trigger conservative snowflakes, so they start inventing false narratives against liberals to justify their hatred towards minorities.
The Woke pretending Woke doesn't exist.
shareLolita. Even in the 90's people were put off by it.
shareLove Thy Neighbour (1972-1976) British sitcom about a white couple who have a black couple move in next door. The way the two white men go at each other with the racial slurs would put the Woke ones into therapy. What they would neglect to notice is these two would go to the pub together as well.
Mind Your Language (1977-1985) British TV series about an English as a second language class for immigrants. Every culture cops it in this show as the class is made up of Europeans, Indians, Middle Easterners and Asians.
Kingswood Country (1980-1984) Australian sitcom, similar to Love Thy Neighbour above. A white Aussie father has to adjust to his daughter marrying an Italian. "Money on the fridge Wog!" was a common phrase when the Italian son in law would go to the fridge for a beer.
Man About The House (1973-1976) British sitcom and inspiration for the American "Three's Company" A man has to pretend he is gay so the landlord will allow him to move in with 2 single women.
Three's Company (1976-1984) American remake of the above.
Probably all the raunchy teen comedies of the 80s or the 'gross' comedies of the late 90s & early 2000s
