Should We Even Watch "Funny Thing" Anymore?

On the grounds of it being offensive content, the film serves as a reminder that these stereotypes did exist at some point and that we've evolved past them. If anything, the film is meant to mock these tropes that were prevalent in older toga movies, such as the objectification of women. This movie is clever with how it handles its offensive jokes and doesn't just rely on shock value for laughs, like a lot of lesser comedies. I think it should still be watched to this day. In the case of a reboot, for it to be effective in its comedy, it would have to retain a lot of its risque humor, which may be controversial.
