I'd have to guess Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles." It has everything: Racial, ethnic, and xenophobic oversimplifications, sexism, homophobic innuendo, even anti-Semitic stereotypes, thinly veiled as "humor."
Not that it isn't a funny movie, but by today's standards? Can you imagine the outcome if a conservative movie producer or director created such a thing as that movie? There would be rioting, looting, and arson in the streets, as if some police officers indiscriminately gunned down a bunch of 3 year old black kids.
Which brings up the question: How is it "they" can get away with things like this, while "we" are constantly accused of what "they" are applauded for?
Who is the "they" you mean? Or the "we" for that matter?
I think anyone making Blazing Saddles today, regardless of their politics, would catch all kinds of flak for it.
Talladega Nights is pretty out there, though not really racist.
I find that offensive in the manner that it depicts white, Christian, southern, suburbanites.
I prefer Raising Arizona
So white low-income trailer park dwellers are inclined toward criminal tendencies, such as kidnapping?

By "they", I mean the liberal Hollywood elitists. There are very few actual conservatives in Hollywood, with the exception of James Woods, Jon Voight, and the third one, whose name I can't remember.
Virtually no producers or directors who I'm aware of.

The ability to be offended is everywhere, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that much from being a former liberal.
I don't find many things to be personally offensive to me, but
it's not that difficult to imagine myself in someone else's shoes. My 95 year old father-in -law lives with us, so I have to mute the TV all the time, like when those "funeral and burial costs' insurance commercials come on.

Hmmm..Clint Eastwood maybe?
That movie the showed you stopped beating you wife, that one.
I have some insight on how medicare costs are being artificially inflated. He has a home health nurse visiting twice a week, filling supply orders and prescriptions - a hospital bed, oxygen tank he never uses, nutrition drinks, bed pads, all 100% covered. The average monthly bill, covered by medicare is between $4000 and $5000 a month.....as much as a nursing home basically.I feel his pain. Those commercials are made to scare the crap out of old people, so they send the companies some of their hard-earned old-people's money.

Run down any of the early Disney movies and you've got your answer.
