December 17, 20187 yr National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is not funny. It’s not even in the same league as the original Vacation.

Before this weekend, I shared the popular opinion. But then I watched it again for the first time in forever. I chuckled a couple of times but, overall, it’s not funny. I think people give it a pass because it’s a Christmas tradition. The original Vacation, however, is a masterpiece.

December 17, 20187 yr Is Christmas Vacation as good as Vacation? No. But it's still pretty fucking funny and a million miles ahead of the other post-Vacation movies.

His early counterculture viewpoints may have had some value and were sometimes funny but it doesn't mean he wasn't overrated. Like someone else said as he got older his act got bitter and his shtick tiresome. You're entitled to your opinion. As am I. Edited December 17, 20187 yr by RollLeft

Maybe it was too before my time and I don't "get" it but there's a lot of comedies from that time era that I enjoy. Shrugs. The only thing I enjoyed was knowing where the memes originated from and the context. Seeing as a lot of those memes are popular here. Edited December 17, 20187 yr by Vic Mackey

December 17, 20187 yr Christmas Vacation and Blazing Saddles not funny? Does not compute. I watched Christmas Vacation last night, with a nice, cold whiskey in hand, and chuckled out loud all throughout. It was a downright enjoyable experience. On one page, people have shat upon two American institutions. And I'll not stand idly buy while you denigrate American institutions. Damn commies. Edited December 17, 20187 yr by lateshow
December 17, 20187 yr What's going on? It's a bunch of guys dancing around like some Kansas City faggots.
December 18, 20187 yr Vic's just pulling is contrary mofo bullshit. Pay that fool no mind.Oh no, someone went outside the groupthink tank, he must be a contrary. No one can genuinely think Blazing Saddles isn't funny...
December 18, 20187 yr I really want to make a joke about the guy that fucks fat chicks being near...but I couldn’t piece it together in a way that didn’t sound a little too racist for my tastes. Edited December 18, 20187 yr by VolenteHawk
December 18, 20187 yr 9 hours ago, Vic Mackey said: Blazing Saddles is not funny. Fuck, I have to agree. Comedy is subjective though, so I can just say it's not funny to me. Saw it for the first time a couple years ago. Was expecting some comedic masterpiece but it fell well short of that. I also agree that I didn't find it edgy at all. Maybe saying "nigger" and "faggot" was edgy back then, but as a millennial who grew up hearing those words in every other rap song and who's been graphically killing video game characters since the age of 9, it just takes much more to generate shock laughs.

Exactly. Comedy is the one genre that is going to be the most subjective. And yes, it isn't funny to me. If others think it's the best movie out there, cool. It's just a movie. No biggie. But after seeing all the memes on here and quotes threads and hearing about, I expected a comedic masterpience as you mentioned. Anything but. I had to force myself to finish the movie. I kept waiting for it to be better but it never did and then I was already too far along to tap out. Coming To America, now that's some funny shit to me.
December 18, 20187 yr I remember the first time I watched blazing saddles, I didn’t realize beforehand it was a comedy. We had a guy at work who was big into westerns, and I enjoy them, and he always talked it up as the best there’s ever been. It of course took about 30 seconds to figure it out, but other than some stellar offensive one liners and a great set of tits, I’ve never liked it either. More so likely it just pisses me off I thought I was about to witness some Josey Wales type greatness, only to be greeted with “dock that chink a days pay”. Everyone finds coming to America funny, Vic.

Liked the way everyone played it straight. Lots more quotable lines, also. What knockers
December 18, 20187 yr Oh no, someone went outside the groupthink tank, he must be a contrary. No one can genuinely think Blazing Saddles isn't funny... Ahh thats the vic I know. Fuck the shag groupthink lulz
December 18, 20187 yr Mel Brooks is perfectly capable of producing a complete clunker. Blazing Saddles was not that movie. This was:
December 18, 20187 yr There was some pretty decent cleavage in that movie, too. But it still sucked. Proof that there is an ineffable something else required.

My brother and I was obsessed with this movie in like the Summer of ‘93 or something, when latch key kids had VCRs and a blockbuster card. Don’t even talk about Robin Hood Men in tights and Hot Shots Part Deux. I really enjoyed the Dracula movie. I only saw the 2nd half of Men In Tights, and I loved the hell out of it, but that's because of context. I'd won free tickets to the Ted Danson/Whoopie Goldberg "Made in America" movie, which my wife and I walked out of about 15 minutes in - it was free, but still so bad that we wanted our money back. The theater was nice enough to let us walk in to another movie, which we were very relieved by.

December 20, 20187 yr I'm a big fan of both Coming to America & Robin Hood Men in Tights, but those seem to be popular opinions. Unpopular: I don't like Pearl Jam I like Chili's I enjoy thick women like Vic. Hell I married one (no pics)

December 20, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Whatever said: I enjoy thick women like Vic. Hell I married one (no pics) There are legitimate ways around the rule. This is not one of them. Pics or gtfo. I ask only because I suspect your definition of "thick" is vastly different that Vic's type. Edited December 20, 20187 yr by 'stache

December 29, 20186 yr My dear and beautiful but sardonically irreverent bride loves the "double time harch" scene in History of the World, swears she is seeing Gregory Hines's long schvantz flopping as the selected "candidates" march out. Mel Brooks has improved this old world, imho. Plus, banging Anne Bancroft.

Sometimes comedy has to be viewed in the time in which it was created. Considering the time Blazing Saddles was created it was hilarious. It made fun of the whole Hollywood western genre. Would John Wayne, Alan Ladd or Clint Eastwood have ever made a movie where the word "nigger" was spoken? Of course not. But, they all where thinking it every time a black actor came on the screen . Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little shoved it in their faces in a way that they couldn't deny it. That was the brilliance of Blazing Saddles. And it was funny too.
