Comment on What was going on in England in the 1970s to give Monty Python so much comedy fodder that is still relevant today?

This is why the whole woke thing is so stupid to me.

“I’m sick of Hollywood putting DEI bs in my movies not like the old days!”

The old days: “Come see two men dress as women to escape the mob!”

“Disney has gone woke”.

Meanwhile Mary Poppins (made in the 60’s) straight up has a banger song “sister suffragette” and signs for women’s suffrage in it.

  “Disney has gone woke” has to be the stupidest thing to say, they’ve been woke longer than I’ve been around.

Since this is a comedy thread, I’ll paraphrase John Cleese.

The great thing about anger is that it really works. It makes you physically stronger and less likely to feel pain. If you’re angry all the time you aren’t worrying about things because you’ve got a target to go after.

I’ll throw in another comedy classic.

The musical “The Music Man” is about a conman who gets the whole town in an uproar over a pool table.
