In my opinion, what Disney should have done for the most recent home-video release of Toy Story 2 is to use the original version of the end-credit sequence (the one without the pseudo-bloopers) for the main movie.

So you two are absolutely identical, I could probably get you are role in toy story 3.
They had previously had all these barbies in the movie. They are promising Toy Story 3 to occur and promise that they are going to use those sexy blonde barbie girls to help sell it to fickle consumers.

Where on earth has all that come from. I find it funny. You try and tell me I am not allowed to. By all means you are welcome to have your opinion but I too have the right to laugh at what I want to.
They are promising you a Toy Story 3 but they are selling it with the lure of barbie girls having pool parties which is a slur but on the public.

Are you intimating that racial stereotyping is actually funny? That coercing women into giving sexual favours is a cause for laughter?.
Good grief…Where on earth has all that come from. I find it funny.

I’m highlighting what I said to which I never imagined you would agree. Plus your reply. So there’s no doubt about the sequence. That you do agree, as we can see from above, says a lot about your personal attitude to racial stereotyping and the misuse of power to gain sexual favours from women. As you said, just one more time so there’s no doubt:Wozza quoting wozza? Seriously?
Surely you are not going to double down again?I find it funny.

Straw men are generally employed further into a discussion. The fact that it is being used so early tells me much about your argument.

Wozza asked if you find racial stereotyping funny. If you find coercing women for sexual favors a cause for laughter.Straw men are generally employed further into a discussion. The fact that it is being used so early tells me much about your argument.
You replied that you find it funny.
Wozza commented on that.
You accuse Wozza of straw-manning.
I think Wozza has the better case.

Do you mean in the movie or in real life?Except that women are not being coerced into giving sexual favours.
Therefore the straw man burns with the proverbial flame thrower.
Because in the movie, no they’re not. And that is not relevant to Wozza’s point.
It’s not relevant because in real life women are being sexually harassed. Women are being coerced into giving sex.
In real life women are being hounded with demands for sex.
And that is why a joke about sexual harassment, made in the movie or even on the post-movie credits, is unfunny and inappropriate.

Giving a definite answer seems like an easy solution.Except that women are not being coerced into giving sexual favours.
Therefore the straw man burns with the proverbial flame thrower.
You two feel satistifed with yourselves.

That scene seems pretty subtle. Why take it out? And I disagree with the commentator saying that the joke lands with a “thud.” I’d say it’s even more relevant now given recent events in Hollywood.

It can be if it is used by groups who are usually the subjects of it and who turn it on its head, for example see this below by Spike Milligan, on the face of it it looks like a dig at the feckless work-shy Irish who are considered to be as thick as rocks. When you realize Spike who made it was from an Irish background and was playing with stereotypes it takes on another meaning:-
Or this, featuring Alf Garnett who was the protoype for Archie Bunker. The writer manages to nicely show how all sorts of groups engage in racial stereotyping and how no group is totally immune to it:-
It depends how you use it and what you are aiming to do with it. Turning what was meant to be an insult to your group into a compliment or embracing it is certainly one way of annoying those who dislike the group you come from.

Couldn’t agree more. Satire is a powerful weapon against racism.
