In Case You Hadn't Heard, HBO Now Has a Trigger Warning If You Want to Watch 'Blazing Saddles'
JORDAN RUIMY FROM WORLD OF REEL 3:55 PM | February 11, 2024

We all love “Blazing Saddles,” a groundbreaking 1974 comedy from director Mel Brooks that featured a black sheriff in a racist town and had an abundance of politically incorrect, racially-driven jokes.

I was, sadly, inevitably, waiting for this day to arrive, but Brooks’ satirical masterpiece, one of the great comedies of the 20th century, has now been stamped with a trigger warning (via Christian Toto).

HBO Max, the streaming platform that canceled “Gone With The Wind,” is at it again — they just slapped “Blazing Saddles” with a nauseating pre-film PSA. If you want to watch “Blazing Saddles,” you will have to watch an introduction by TCM’s Jacqueline Stewart, who is the channel’s expert on film preservation and “representation.” Here’s part of her speech to the viewer:

BEEGE WELBORN
I fart in HBO's general direction.

Also why I have about 8 trigger-warning-free copies of this on DVD and BluRay safe in my cupboard. Cold, dead fingers, baby.

Cold, dead fingers.

This is my favorite scene. I reference it at least every week or so to my wife...

"Hey...where are the white women at?!?"

lmao

I saw that movie in high school and didn't understand a lot of the humor. I just watched it a couple of months ago and I appreciate it much more now.

Trigger warning. I'm surprised the entire movie hasn't been blacked out or banned by now. Oops, I said blacked out.

You can find many YouTube’s of young black guys and women watching this..
They almost get offended sometimes but after a couple minutes they get just how satirical this is and just one of the funniest movies ever made.
