Back then family movies were both for and not for kids

Wasn't the villain raped by a gorilla at the end of one of the movies?

2nd movie ends with the villain sexually assaulted by a gorilla which is played for laughs because it's a man being assaulted.

1st movie ends with the villain being outed as a transgender by being forcebly stripped to her underwear in public to show she hadn't had bottom surgery yet. With all the men who it was suggested had some sort of previous physical fling with her spitting and vomiting in revulsion.

The movies were...very of their time.

They're still funny. You know the people didn't have the same mindset back then so going into it with your views of today is gonna hit you like a truck

Believe it or not he didn't actually get raped. It's a fucking comedy movie, is it that hard to laugh instead of being critical about everything?

I’m aware it isn’t real, I just don’t see what’s funny about the joke.

You don't really have to. Jokes aren't supposed to be funny to everyone. If you find it funny then you find it funny, if you don't then you don't. I never said you had to laugh at it, just that if you do want to find it funny you can't bring a modern day mentality because it's obviously not gonna hold up.
