Racism rears its ugly head

[MAKAVELI]

That's not any worse than what they've done on a hundred different Saturday Night Live skits. Now the black dude at the end goes to jail.

I haven't seen a skit on snl as racist as this one. On snl everyone is also in on the joke.

Seriously?--- these people couldn't tell it was joke? Just the way those two were dressed should have had them rolling on the ground laughing their asses off. No --- it wasn't in good taste-- but then most comedy isn't. I assume none of those "offended" had never seen a Don Rickles show.

I wonder how those guys thought that would end? That is SO not funny.

Different times bro. I doubt those people were alive when Don Rickles was on the air. I'm sure they didn't think it was funny.

I suppose you're right. Everyone is so friggin touchy now days. Too bad.

Don Rickles was not funny.

Rickles was mean humor and attacked everyone regardless of race or any other group. I never cared for him but would not say he was a racist. More of an equal opportunity fount of insults.

Saw him in Vegas once....hard to believe he is best buddies with Bob Newhart.........seem like total opposites.

I guess racism and racist jokes were just more excepted back then.

I heard Newhart is a lot dirtier when doing stand up. Nothing like his TV persona.

I used to have Newhart's albums and to hear his tell about Sir Walter Raleigh and tobacco is hilarious.

I guess he's making another appearance on Big Bang in the near future

I guess he's making another appearance on Big Bang in the near future (as Sheldon's old science teacher)

Yes, he died and is coming back as an angel....he was like a hero to Sheldon from TV....like a Mr. Wizard.
