Jimmy Fallon Mocks Proper Social Context Movie Intros on HBOMax
Jimmy Fallon on Monday poked fun at HBO Max after the streamer added another social context warning on a film, this time the Mel Brooks' classichost played Clyde Darwell of the faux Cherished Cinema Classics channel and introduced the fake 1946 film, which he said was a beloved picture and box office success. But then came the list of issues.
"It's worth noting this film is a product of its time," Fallon's Darwell said, mirroring the intro foron HBO Max."By today's standards, it contains outdated, insensitive portrayals of African Americans. But keeping that in mind, we hope you can look past those flaws and enjoy this American classic — which I should also note is offensive to Native Americans, Asain Americans, Lebanese Americans, the Inuit and Estonian Americans.
Fallon's Darwell continued to try and start the film but had to stop himself multiple times to bring up other matters that could be upsetting to viewers. "There is a graphic whale hunt midway through the film and what some may consider a gratuitous kicking of a beagle," he noted. Finally giving up, the Cherished Cinema Classics host showed the film minus any offensive material, which last a few seconds before the end credits rolled., which is presented by TCM host and University of Chicago cinema and media studies professor Jacqueline Stewart.
