The Woke culture is going after everything. There are some films that seem to be immune to this culture. Why? Is it the actors in them? Are they just too damned funny to censure?

Here are some titles that aren't being target from what I can tell or at lest to a point where it's an issue?

Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story
Tropic Thunder
Talladega Nights


What else?

Nobody has tried to really cancel it. But they have complained a lot about RDJ's black face. Even though they totally missed the woke joke in the whole thing.

I've seen the "full retard" speech censored. I forget what they substituted, though.

Hell, any movie made prior to 2010 probably...and give them time. They'll get around to them all eventually.

Two good choices. Tropic Thunder is a better movie than both of them.

Context is completely irrelevant to the Woke though.

That was awesome and I think it was the sequel where the guy was in court saying, "The bro, he was on but the people were freaking ", with the translation at the bottom of the screen.

That was pure gold and something that would never be done today. Woke culture has been anathema for good comedy for the most part

Do some of you just wake up each day looking for things to get yourselves mad about?

In Caddyshack, Chevy Chase covertly puts an unknown drug in the drink of the blonde bed-hopper.

Eventually, it'll get cancelled for date rape culture, even though the character displays no effects of sedation and willingly took the rod.

I'll give you that one, but World's End is a bit overly dark and confused. Grand Budapest Hotel is just Wes Anderson repeating himself for the umpteenth time and I'd hardly put the others in the category of "great comedy".

Tropic Thunder was purely a fun movie and a rare case of Hollywood gleefully lampooning itself without the usual preaching to the peasants included. Point is, comedy is hard to do if you can't laugh at anything more challenging than a GEICO commercial.
