Veteran Hollywood comedian Mel Brooks says society has become 'stupidly politically correct', which has been 'the death of comedy'.

The producer and director said many of his films – including 1974 comedy western Blazing Saddles, which satirised racism – could not be made today.

Asked if there was anything he would not parody, Brooks, 91, who dressed as Hitler in 1983 film To Be or Not To Be, told Radio 4's Today programme: 'I would never touch gas chambers or the death of children or Jews at the hands of the Nazis. Everything else is OK

YUP! Comedians are already suffering. Look at some of Bill Burr's recent tirades. A silent reaction to the offensive, and he has gone on to mock them for being snowflakes. (In a way).

Most professional comedians including LIBERAL Jerry Seinfeld have stopped performing at college campuses, because the snowflake creatures that reside here are humorless shells that occupy human bodies.
