Bet he was clinking ice in a bourbon glass as he sent that note.

Generally not a good idea to use the word Hitler in any context.

Yeah, because "Hitler" is usually a great comedic source...

Just a little history perspective- Hitler has been used as a source of comedy from his rise to power in the 30s to the present day. He and his creation- the Nazi party- have been lampooned and used in jokes repeatedly for 80 years. It's only been about the past 10-15 years people have started treating him like he was the historic reincarnation of Satan.

Charlie Chaplin?

Have you seen any of the "Downfall" parodies? Some of the funniest videos on YouTube.

Mel Brooks and these German Jews would disagree-

Last I checked none of you were comedians...or Mel Brooks.

Yes, I'm sure Mel Brooks hates Nazi comedy.  That's why he wrote a song called Springtime for Hitler. PS- Brooks is from a Jewish family from Germany.

You have to be one of those things to know something about them? I mean, I'm not a Roman, but I know a lot about them.

Thanks for the Mel Brooks bio...appreciate it.

to me, the problem is the context with which the coach used the name "hitler". he used it as a threat. not as a joke.

DING DING DING, we have a winner! That is exactly the problem.

Yep, that's how I took it. As for Mel Brooks I thought Blazing Saddles was a hoot but other than than I wasn't impressed by most of his other movies and didn't find them particularly funny. How many on here enjoyed Robin Hood: Men in Tights?

Prince John:
Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?

Latrine:
We changed it in the 9th century.

Prince John:
You mean you changed it TO "Latrine"?

Latrine:
Yeah. Used to be "Shithouse."

Prince John:
It's a good change. That's a good change!

Young Frankenstein - "What knockers!" "Thank you Herr Doctor"
Blazing Saddles - "We will pull a number 6 on them"
I always enjoyed Mel Brooks movies. He ripped into every one. You watch the old B westerns, old horror movies from the '30's then watch Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein it is a hoot. When I first saw the Producers and when they did "Springtime for Hitler", It was WTF, I it took brass ones to do it. Mel Brooks could not make movies anymore because some people could not handle it. Brooks, Dangerfield, Rickles, Carson , Murphy, were good because they went after everyone with equal enthusiasm. I taped the "High and the Mighty" with John Wayne the other night so I can then watch "Airplane" and appreciate what the Abraham brothers were making fun of.

Last U coach - did not like his coaching style, I know he had a rough clientele, I felt he was one the line. References about Hitler, blackface, picking cotton, slavery are probably not good ideas. A. tennis coach in Springfield made a idiotic statement about Jews to his players (one who was Jewish), Did not get fired until last season, but the school lost one of its biggest donors/boosters (the Jewish kid's parents) until he was fired.

I'm sure the Last Chance U HFC will land on his feet.
