That episode of Family Guy comes to mind, where Stewie is taken away and adopted by a family to finally complete their 'rainbow' of children. What a reference!  "Click click - bl**dy pancakes!" N. |

I wanted to get everyone dogwalking, going swimming, running upstairs too quickly, drinking too much coffee AND eating cereal at the wrong time of day!!! There - I've said it! Not only that, I reckon you should make a film about it too! "Chewbaxter - Why?"Like the title... see if you can get Hugh Jackman to play me... apart from being older, thinner and taller we're practically the same - except he looks nothing like me either! N. |

so guys... i think you got me wrong...
i dont want to make the film that people could see it in the cinema or stuff...
i just want to make it, without budget and something... just a few friends and me will make the film, i´m not a reggiseur or something like that...
the movie should make fun and should make fun to watch

It wont be fun to watch thats the point. It is pointless and highly offensive. Now I'm a fan of cinema that pushes the boundaries of political correctness but not in such a cheap "Allo-Allo" style way. Now I see your email is from Germany so maybe this would be funny there but here, no its old, cheap and crap.

Yep - have to agree that it wouldn't work here... the idea of the 'penny-pinching' jew done is such a way I reckon would be seen as highly offensive for a start... and just because the SS Guy is seen to be the 'brunt' or the 'butt' in the film would not therefore make this work.
Okay... a bit of a pedant when it comes to humour as I've studied 'Humour Therapy' in quite some detail - often humour that makes fun of another is seen to have no therapeutic value and is offensive to many... so the 'fat comedian' who tells fat jokes as if to say: "Hey... it's okay for me to tell these jokes - I'm fat you know" can still offend a large majority of his audience who are obese... and it can be seen that it's 'okay' for the rest of the audience to laugh at these people too because 'that comedian said it' - don't know if this makes sense.
The weird exception to this has to be 'Little Britain' over here... there's pretty much a lot of homophobic, racist, ageist etc. humour, but because they're 'sending up' a lot of stereotypes then it seems to be acceptable.
The reality I reckon?
They were damned lucky to get away with it!
I certainly don't think your film would fare as well, sorry... times have changed... the likes of "Allo Allo", "Hogan's Heroes", and some of Mel Brookes' films would just not work in this day and age... also google in "Love Thy Neighbour" - a sitcom in the UK from the '70s that was No. 1 in the charts for most of the time, but now would be deemed highly racist.

this topic could go on forever! the thing is with this kind of thing is, just make it and then see what it's like, as you said chewie, films such as blazing sadles would never be made if you just read the idea, so if you think something could work then just make it and then we may rip it too bits if it's shit

I've done some stuff that other people thought would be cr*p, but went ahead anyway... so yep, what's the worst that could happen? If the raction received was not favourable, the link/film etc. could always be deleted. N. |

In fact, yes, make it, post it online, and then see just how it works. I don't want to be a doom monger, but I love a good car crash...

I'm an ambulance chaser you know... followed on for 10 miles the other day, I found it hard to keep up too! When the feller finally stopped and I asked him for a '99' and a 'Strawberry Split' he went apesh*t! The things I do for comedy - never appreciated! N. |

There's an Englishman, an Irishman and Scotsman.....
I like Bernard RightOn's reformed gags:
"There was a Jew, a black fella, and a pakistani standing at a bus-stop....
.... what a fine example of an integrated community ladies and gentleman!"
