You couldn't make Blazing Saddles these days because the kids wouldn't know why Howard Johnson, who's best known these days as a hotel chain, would be talking about protecting his ice cream stand.
I'm pretty old and I don't think I get that joke, either.
Howard Johnson's started out as a restaurant chain that was known for its ice cream. It was popular back then but all of the restaurants have closed since then.
Oh I think I recall a reference to that on Mad Men. Before my time though, and I'm in my 40s.
The Hedley/Hedy Lamarr joke might be lost on a lot of people these days too.
