Mel Brooks Sparks Outrage with New Hitler Gag
Mel Brooks, a 99-year-old comedy legend, has found himself at the center of controversy for a new gag about Adolf Hitler.
He has no idea what wokery is!
Brooks made the joke during a promotional event for the revival of The Producers in Los Angeles, saying, "Hitler was bad to every Jew in the world, but he was good to me."
- The joke was intended as a callback to his long-standing defense of lampooning dictators.
- However, it drew immediate condemnation on social media, with users accusing him of "mocking history" and "ignoring modern sensitivities."
Critics have branded the joke "offensive and out of touch," but Brooks insists he's simply trying to make people laugh by saying the unsayable.
