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.
Hitler was bad to every Jew in the world, but he was good to me.
The joke, intended as a callback to his defense of lampooning dictators, drew 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", though Brooks insists he's simply trying to make people laugh.
