They couldn’t have at least gotten the rapper Lil Jon?
You know if you had Mel Brooks directing that would be hilarious
We are a few years into "Nazis were actually good" becoming a major cultural belief.
Mel Brooks wouldn't be able to resist sperging about how Jewish he is and how much he hates Nazis, like he always did in every movie, and it would go extremely poorly for everyone involved.
True. Although springtime for Hitler is catchy. I randomly find myself singing it
Its not that his work was unfunny or even bad, its just that he has a very consistent set of themes/topics he shoehorns in to every thing. And in the current zeitgeist it would come off either very controversial or simply blase because, unlike back when he was making all his big hits, literally everyone is doing it.
A great example of the dynamic for me is from Epic Rap Battles of History. The first time they used Trump in a random Christmas episode, it was funny and interesting with basically no one getting upset about it. The second time they did it went so bad they literally, by their own admission, went into hiding out of the backlash they got because they couldn't fathom anyone didn't hate him like they did. And those who weren't upset about it, found it extremely fucking terrible regardless because literally everyone had already said everything they tried to.
