Humor comes from absurdity by nature, it's unlikely to ever move "past" content that is offensive or vulgar. As Mel Brooks put it, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you fall down an open sewer and die".

Mel Brooks is so great. :allears:

That quote is in the "2000-year-old-man" bit he used to do with Carl Reiner. If you can find a copy of it, it's a lot of fun to listen to.

Mel Brooks probably wouldn't find sexual assault funny:

Mel Brooks posted:

In 1974, I produced the western parody "Blazing Saddles," in which the word "friend of the family" was used constantly. But I would never have thought of the idea of showing how a black was lynched. It's only funny when he escapes getting sent to the gallows.

The point isn't whether he would find it funny or not. The point is that humor can come from things you may not agree with in a serious manner. I'll laugh at somebody getting hit by a car even if I don't wish that on them. You can't help what you find funny, and there's lots of hosed up poo poo people find funny.

It's fine for people not to find any given thing humorous. Humor is a very personal thing. But it's not going to stop other people from laughing (or not laughing), and the expectation that it would is, in itself, ironically laughable.

But I agree, sexual assault is no laughing matter. Unless you're assaulting a clown.


[EDIT]
And aren't there multiple scenes that most people would consider sexual assault if not outright rape played for comedic effect in Mel Brooks movies?

The ones that leap to mind are History of the World, Pt 1, It's Good to be the King, and Young Frankenstein when the monster meets Madeline Kahn's character.

The king stuff is historical reenactment, though. That's the way royalty behaves.

Yeah, the Human Chess scene from History of the World Part 1 came to mind, as did a bunch of stuff (including the outright rape of the Sherrif by the old woman) from Robin Hood Men in Tights, but I had forgotten Young Frankenstein.
