If you portray fascists as the Three Stooges with signs that say "Kick Me" on their backs and it is NOT a comedy, you are doing a disservice. And it exonerates the real fascists, like Le Pen and Giuliani.
Indeed, I see no fun in that. Mel Brooks' The Producers is fun.
"You mean pretentious ass holes like yourself with no sense of humor. The sphere of adulthood extends way beyond your limited scope."
My scope is wide, alright. Being an adult means to be able to make fun of yourself and to be silly. But it does not include wasting time on third-rate movies like Schindler's List. The movie doesn't have a single redeeming quality.
