Every once in a while I try to remind people that a comedy like ‘Tropic Thunder’ would just not be able to get made today. Not in this heavily politicized world. And do go ahead and disagree with me on that, because just last week Shaun White dressed up as Stiller’s Simple Jack character for Halloween and caused total uproar, to the point where White had to issue an apology to the Special Olympics. This is real. This is the world we live in. Comedy is in dire straits at the moment. And Ben Stiller seems to agree. Guesting on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, the 52-year-old comedian told the radio host that “Tropic Thunder” “probably couldn’t have been made today.”
