Blazing Saddles is the epitome of Mel Brooks humor that has aged well. It's an amazing satire of racism that is still on point for today (unfortunately).

Huh, I had the opposite reaction. I see your point about satirizing racism, but I couldn't get past the gratuitous n-bombs every other line.

They are everywhere for a reason. The people who commonly drop n-bombs aren't the heroes. Hell, the redemption of the town is that they'll be less racist going forward.

Satirizing requires doing the thing being satirized, in this case racists being racist.
