Mel Brooks is truly the master of parody films, and this is one of his most hilarious.
Princess Bride is a MUST!
The script joke has to be one of the funniest jokes I've ever seen. He literally gets another shot because the script says so
"Would you ride a zebra?"
"Yeah it's just a horse"
My brother does not know zebras are absolute psychos.
Or that they are donkeys, not horses
They need to brush up on some Casual Geographic.
@@boris2656All horses
@@EpicRandomness555 a donkey isn't a horse. A donkey is as much a horse as a human is a monkey or a chimp is a human. Same family, different species. Though they are also entirely different by nature
@ They’re all in the genus Equus. The difference between Donkeys and Horses is fairly minimal. You can also breed them together. Equus is the “horse” genus. Equines.
if you do a 90s movie marathon you need to include the mummy and mask of zorro
Mask of Zorro for sure!
Fun Fact: Patriot Arrow is a Reference to the Patriot Missile... Which was HEAVILY discussed on the News and other sources during Desert Storm. The Patriot Missile is a Cruise missile, it was a pretty big talking point both with supporters and detractors taking shots at it pretty much nightly.
The Patriot Missile is an Anti-Missile.
Super fast and agile. Used to Shoot Down other missiles mid-air - especially Cruise Missiles.
3:16 to answer their question a falafel is sort of like a Middle Eastern version of a hush puppy. It’s mostly comprised of using ground up chickpeas that have been fried and usually served by themselves or as a sandwich, using pita bread and filled with falafel, a cabbage slaw and usually a sauce space around either yogurt or tahini
It's so freaking good!
I'm definitely not a vegetarian, but that's a vegetarian option I could eat for every damn meal!
Though I'd soon wish I hadn't... 😆
@ personally I’m more of a hummus fan if I enjoy something with chickpeas in it or funny enough roasted chickpeas are very good too
@@Th3AuThor1Ty Hummus is really good too.
It's DELICIOUS
NOW YALL HAVE TO WATCH THE PRINCESS BRIDE! AND BLAZING SADDLES!
And Blues Brothers
I could have swore they had already done blazing saddles, but don’t see it on their channel. Mel Brooks was told even back then that he couldn’t produce the movie, but he did it anyway.
Oh man, I'd love to see them react to Blazing Saddles. I still can't believe I watched that movie as a kid.
I hope they also watch dracula dead and loving it
The “Lend me your ears” bit and the payoff with the “That’s disgusting” always makes me laugh my ass off 😂
There's a couple deep-cut jokes in this one. That "Lend me your ears!" being from Shakespeare, the Patriot Arrow being a knockoff "Patriot Missile", and "Hey Abbot!!" being an Abbot and Costello thing.
Oh man, these guys should watch Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein! Maybe some of the other old classics- Who's on First, New Math, etc. The various Marx Brothers movies...
So, A few fun facts:
The Men In Tights song is lightly based on the Jews In Space song from History of the World Part I.
Mel Brook's famous line "It's good to be the king!" is also from History of the World Part I.
The Patriot Missile system that had just been introduced was one of the first "smart" missiles deployed (although it was only used as an interceptor).
The hangman was the same hangman from Blazing Saddles.
The tights coming from eggs was because a popular brand of nylons sold back then (L'eggs) were packaged in plastic eggs.
So few people remember the Jews in Space bit :D
Fun fact: the guy who plays Will Scarlet O'Hara also plays/voices Alan Wake in those games, and Dr. Casper Darling in Control, which is set in the same universe.
20:46 that actor for little John played Thor in the 88 The Incredible Hulk Returns tv movie,he had a small cameo in the first MCU Thor movie, he's in the 96 comedy High School Hiigh, American Wedding the 3rd American Pie film, and the dad in the disney series Good Luck Charlie.
He was also, I believe, the overall fight choreographer for this film.
Y'all were thinking of Dunbars number, which is 150, and it's not that you can only remember that many. It's you can only form close relationships with that many. After that, you can only remember bits and pieces about people, like their name or what they do.
The excitement over the shared experience of using up all of Mom's bath oil pearls (I believed they were called Gems?) is hilarious. We had those too when I was growing up. I didn't dare touch them. My grandmother finally got me some of my own but they were like dolphin shaped and I didn't want to use them LOL.
For fans of Remedy’s Alan Wake and Control: Will Scarlett O’Hara is played by Matthew Porretta. He’s the voice of Alan Wake and he plays Dr. Casper Darling in Control.
0:14 Ruff trying to kill Erik😂
4:14 stretch!
8:45 What are those!!
9:45 Robin Face!😅
13:11 Taking L's
16:50 Damn!
21:43 Too Funny
22:54 Woody Harrison & Weasley Snipes 1992 Classic
24:30 Got him
25:20 Dual!
28:04 Domino falling
30:47 Wish came true
35:37 Men in Tights
36:50 Cool it
40:30 Pariot Arrow
42:25 Watch it Cameraman
46:15 Good Nip
48:33 Patrick Stewart!
50:00 Yes it did
23:39 this joke was a play on the UNCF campaign "A mind is a terrible thing to waste,"
Apparently, the mole joke wasn't initially intensional. As with a lot of movies, the scenes were shot out of order, and the bathtub scene was fairly early. When the Sherrif asks if the mole was originally on the other side, it was a genuine 'did costuming screw up?' inquiery, but Mel Brooks liked the 'I have a MOLE?' response so much that he decided that the roaming mole would be an ongoing thing.
Cary Elwes has such a consistent series of major roles in my mind, Princess Bride, Robin Hood, Saw....
Wait, Saw? Dafuq?
Twister
Knuckles.
To quote Dead Meat, "He's a doctor."
To clear up confusion, it's only the one brief scene where Robin and Little John dress up as Romani fortune tellers that's racist. The rest of Disney's Robin Hood is pretty tame.
....of course it is...
Disney's Peter Pan is much more racist than Robin Hood
Is it that way in the book?
@@erikawilliams9558 Yes
So we are just supposed to pretend that Romani fortune tellers didn't exist? That isn't racist and everybody calling this little stuff racist are actually doing a huge injustice to the real racism that is rampant in this world.
1:31 just wait till you show them Blazing Saddles
Little John is the same actor that played in the sitcom family show Good Luck Charlie that aired on Disney as the father of Charlie
The thing that bothers me about physical media is if a series only gets one season and gets canceled they will usually only release it on blue ray and not dvd…
(Also if you’re going to watch Princess Bride and enjoy it, please watch Stardust too. You’ll love it too.)
You can tell this movie was written by an American
In the 90s in the UK we already had affordable healthcare.
Not in the 15th Century though. But then the joke wouldn't be funny.
Man, this movie is really doing my boy Alan Rickman dirty.
When Luca pulled the glock. I out loud said
"Ayo what? Is thay the first one?"
Fun fact, you can probably learn sword fighting from a restaurant called medieval times, they have a stadium where knights fight while you eat and stuff, its great (they even joust)
37:29 don't know if any one ever noticed that the marry man in the front row with blonde hair is the dad in disney channels Wizards of Waverly Place, and little John's actor was also a dad in a disney series & also appeared in an episode of the Wizards series.
I only recently found this channel. You guys have quickly become one of my favorites. Keep up the great work, gentlemen and lady.
How much we gotta spent to get Ruff a spa day? Boy needs to know how it feels to have a bath and be taken care of. Maybe we get him a Happy Meal from McDonald's on the way home.
You can TELL they had a lot of fun filming this! 😃
Yes, Amy Yasbeck was in Wings. She was also in Problem Child. Which is where she met her late husband, John Ritter
Broing out about bathtubs is something I didn't expect in this commentary but I'll always remember.
For me it was assorted bath toys or cans of foam
It's not a Mel Brooks movie, but you guys should watch Top Secret. Same kind of humor. Absolutely hilarious!
Dracula dead and loving it is a must
Falafel is delicious, they are basically fried, spiced chickpea fritters. You can put them in a wrap and make a sandwich, or just eat the fritters individually.
Something interesting about the chastity belt and key is that it makes total sense. Robin and Marian's parents wanted them to get married as a political move, so they put her in the belt and spun her a story about her "one true love," while Robin's dad had the key the whole time. He was just supposed to wait until they were old enough to get married and then pass it to Robin.
Yes, she was on Wings.
If you think the K.Costner Robin Hood wasn't good, watch the newest one with Jamie Fox, you'll see what bad looks like.
The animated Robin Hood movie is perhaps my favorite version, closely followed by this one.
The jokes in this are even funnier if you've seen other Robin Hood movies, especially Prince of Thieves. There's a few plot points are taken from that one and twisted into something laughably different.
Thank you for uploading this. Penalac cut the power for maintenance before I took a shower, so I lost hot water much faster than normal. As a result, I have the nickname "Barbara" to Penalac so I can yell "THANK YOU BARBARA!!" as sarcastically as possible. Laughter is the best medicine
Okay make sure you clarify that while YES the N word is said in Blazing Saddles it's also one of the first movies to star a Black Actor as lead, something that at the time was usually only done by Sidney Poiter and pretty much no one else... Also African Americans LOVE Blazing Saddles, so again... RELAX, Blazing Saddles is BELOVED worldwide... On that note Heyo from Australia.
What I love about some of the gags in this movie is that foreign dubs of the film had replacement jokes for the ones that wouldn't make sense.
That gag about Kevin Costner's Robin Hood not having an English accent for example:
- German: "unlike other Robin Hoods, I do no cost the producers five million", the German word for "cost" is "kosten" which is pronounced similarly to Costner
- French and Italian: "unlike other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with the wolves", a reference to the movie Dances with Wolves which Costner starred in
- Quebec French: "unlike other Robin hoods, I wear tights", a jab at Costner's Robin Hood again
- Hungarian: "unlike Kevin Costner, I have a shapely bottom", a jab at the nude scene in Costner's Robin Hood using a stunt double
Mel has a lot of movies that don't get as much love as they deserve but are worth watching. The actor that played Will Scarlet actually got his own show as Robin Hood for a while in the 90s.
this is dave chapelle's first movie part bigger than "dude at party"
Okay but just actually imagine if Mel Brooks would have made a Passion of Christ parody.
Considering that he was Jewish, and therefore one of the only Hollywood people able to make Jewish jokes,(both against and from perspective) it would’ve probably been interesting and a unique. The passion: a parody according to someone who thinks he was a heretic.
wait.... classic disney robin hood is racist? How? First time Ive heard about this one.
Wait… the Disney Robin Hood is racist?!?
Which Disney version? There were multiple.
No, Boom misheard Ruff. Ruff said he only saw the Disney animated one. That one hasn´t got anything raacist. Stereotypes and innuendos at best. Boom likely meant the Kevin Costner one. Robin hood: Prince of Thieves is by Warner Bros, so not owned by Disney. There the ¨black man¨was always mistrusted in advance (plus a profecy to the witch she will be killed by one). But Azeem quickly gains respect by treating the woman in labour and Robin´s second in command. And the sheriff of Rottingham there...is his own warning.
I've seen the Disney version so many times and i never got "gay couple" or that the rabbit was a bad mom... ? This is literally the first I've heard of that
@@erikawilliams9558 I as a kid either. but some bloggers and critics like Doug Nostalgia Critic point it out, I can´t not see it. They are more like a bickering couple than ruler and subordinate. The snake sleeps with the prince, the ¨I got a dirty thumb¨ and nicknames of Sir Hiss...
But the claim of Mother rabbit not watching her kids enough... looking back that´s not true. In jail she watched over them all. The little one falling of the carriage happened in the commotion, so she could only panick without going after it. And Skippy becoming the guardian of the wedded couple is not something she has to consent to...because he´s actually way past mature age (Skippy is 7, while rabbits are 5 years max before adult).
Suggestion: whenever you guys aren’t too busy with the things you’re watching you should watch the DC Animated Universe
I prepared a watch order:
The Dark Knight's First Night
• Batman: The Animated Series (Season 1)
• Batman: Mask the Phantasm
• Batman: The Animated Series (Season 2)
• Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero
• Superman: The Animated Series (Season 1-2)
• The New Batman Adventures (Season 1)
• Superman: The Animated Series (Season 3)
• Batman Beyond (Season 1-3)
• Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
• The Zeta Project (Season 1-2)
• Lobo (Season 1) (optional)
• Gotham Girls (Season 1-3) (optional)
• Static Shock (Season 1-2)
• Justice League (Season 1)
• Static Shock (Season 3-4)
• Justice League (Season 2)
• Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
• Chase Me (2003)
• Justice League Unlimited (Season 1-3)
• Batman 75th Anniversary Short
• Batman and Harley Quinn
• Justice League vs. the Fatal Five
Also I highly recommend watching Batman TAS on Blu-ray
14:09 the skit you skipped over where the kid is screaming is paying homage to home alone
I have this one on VHS, recorded off HBO (so without the cuts). Love this one, my fave of all the Mel Brooks movies. I think it's got enough Swashbuckling to be a solid action film (Carrey Elwes doesn't hurt that!) and the 4th wall breaks are juuuust subtle enough to not take you out of the story, while still being hilarious.
I've ridden an Elephant. When I was a kid it was common place for this company to come into town and you could pay a couple of bucks and ride an elephant around in this pen with like 7 or 8 other kids or adults. They did this in the parking lot of a market basket in southeast texas
Fun fact: there's a manga called the Ride On King which is about Putin (literally Putin) being isekaid to a fantasy world where he is obsessed with riding on mythical animals. It implies that he is who he is right now because he's frustrated that he has already ridden on every animal that can support his weight on earth.
Mel Brooks and Monty Python basically are the two comedy directors/ British groups that shaped my comedy brain. Also AIRPLANE! Anything absurdity based that's over the top of my jam.
"Sherwood Forest landed on US"- that's Malcolm X. the biopic with Denzel Washington came out not too long before this...
This is one of my first time experience with this movie and it's was one of the funniest and yet craziest movie I have watch, plus also This Robin Hood is British
Fun fact: 12:50 he says the boy killed a deer in the king's forest. In Italy there's a song about hanging jordie with a golden rope because he stole 6 dears in the king's forest
Just fyi: I've been binging your videos as a distraction from my thesis work as I work towards my masters. I also got lucky to catch this one so early. I watched Nemo and came back to the channel to see what else you had done recently only to see this had dropped while I watched the other.
Sometimes, I will stand in the hallway in front of my brother and say the "a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls" line just to make him laugh.
The reason Blinkin could see in that one scene? His glasses were knocked up.
When he hit the tree, his glasses fell back down, blinding him.
"I've been to war bro. You're just some podunk sheriff!" So when are ya'll watching Rambo?
41:36 "Fox" is a pun for a fax machine, so the dolphin noises are poking fun at the noises a fax machine makes
Assassins, The Fugitive and Contact are some of my favorite movies of all time and are 90's gems!
Oh my God this is my favorite Robin Hood adaptation of all time!!!! You guys chose an awesome Robin Hood movie to react.
The 2018 movie Robin in my opinion was really a cool new way of introducing the story Robin Hood. It was a bummer that it apparently didn’t do very well.
"I don't think I would make a very inspiring disabled person" I forget where that quote is from but that's the vibes I got when you were talking about going blind. XD
If you guys haven't seen The Princess Bride, then you are in for a treat! It is probably the most quotable movie you could ever watch!
The fact they had actually decently choreographed fight scenes in a comedy movie shows the love Brookes put into this. Still a favorite of mine.
Robinhood Prince of Thieves is one of the best Rickman and Freeman movies there was
I was definitely NOT old enough to watch this movie when my dad showed me this. I have been quoting this movie since i was like 9. I wasn't even double digits and quoting this, oops
My friends and I saw this in the theater. We laughed so hard at the bridge fight I thought we might get kicked out. 😂
Did you watch this before the movie it’s parodying
I've seen this movie many times and didn't notice until just now that the hangman is the same hangman as in Blazing Saddles!
Boom's shirt is incorrect. The Big 3 are
1) One Piece
2) Naruto
3) Bleach
One Piece obviously being #1
You can actually ride a giraffe, not many people do and it's a very few places you can it's kinda hard to find but you can ride a giraffe if you wanted to
Out of all the others who reacted to this movie, you are the only ones who noticed the Life Saver from the witch!
We are Men;
Men in tights;
We may look like sissies;
but we rob from the rich;
and give to the poor...
We are men in tights;
Tight Tights;
But we never run from Fights...
That is about all the song I remember of the top of my head... But this is my 2nd fave Mel Brooks movie.
My fave of all is "Dracula Dead and loving it".
Renfield you idiot; I can fly you can't.
Yes master; I can fly you can't... fave scene of that movie.
Ok ok so how about date night movies like 1x a week? Either romcom or musical or something like that? Love the content, keep it coming ❤
This is actually my favorite Mel Brooks movie
If I may, I’d like to nominate 3 Ninjas if you do a 90s marathon. That was my favorite movie as a kid. It’s probably not that good in hindsight but it’s pure 90s fun. I rented it so often when my local video store closed down they gave me the tape.
You should check out the movie Redline from 2009. The sound design was awesome with each characters motifs being brought towards the front of the soundtrack depending on who is winning the race. They also utilized silence well.
Time to get Merry with the Men because this is an extremely funny movie, so here are some fun facts
- This isn’t the first time that Mel Brooks worked on a Robin Hood project when he worked on satirical spin on Robin Hood called “When Things Were Rotton”, & Mel Brooks wrote all of the original songs
- Robin Hood is played by Cary Elwes but when Mel Brooks called him for the role Cary thought he was being pranked, but he was prefect in my opinion & like he said “unlike other Robin Hood’s I can speak with an English” was such a jab
- Patrick Stewart wasn’t the first choice for King Richard was originally going to be played by Sean Connery since he has played that character before, but this time he would crossdress along with wanting a 1 million salary so he could donate to charities
- When the Abbot (played by Dick Van Patten) was walking down then got annoyed by a man that said “Hey Abbot” is a reference to Abbott & Costello
- Dom DeLuise may have been the mafia inspired Don Giovanni, but did you know his son David DeLuise was also in the movie as one of the villagers
11:11 This is such a Blinkin you miss it (sorry).
Robin puts his arm around Blinkin's shoulder, and when his hand taps Blinkin's shoulder, he turns to look who did it. 😀
The sandlot from 1993 would fit into 90s month. It tricked me into thinking I liked playing baseball for almost 10 years.
This is my favorite Robin Hood adaptation and my favorite Mel Brooks film. Carey Elwes is the best. And the movie is so quotable.
46:30
Locksley
Maybe the family were locksmiths?
The ladder scene with Blinken made me almost piss myself when I first seen it
I think you guys should react to the life of Brian. It would fit right in this lign-up. And, it can technically count as a christmas-movie, so perfect to watch in december.
"Jay" was racist term in the late 1800s. When cars were invented, there were a lot of deaths as cars hit people walking in the streets, so there were serious discussions about banning cars. In an attempt to shift blame, the automotive industry blamed "jays" for the accidents, hence where "Jaywalking" came from.
Man, I relate to Boom as the friend who knows other shit about movies and actors 😆 I'll talk about a movie, name all the actors, and my friends will look at me like I'm crazy
Man this, Spaceballs and Dracula Dead and Loving it....his funniest films! Please react to Superhero Movie!😂😂❤❤
I love mel brooks movies and this is one of the best. Great reaction guys
This movie almost, ALMOST justifies the existence of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Almost. Even Alan Rickman couldn't save that film, and he sure tried.
If you love parody movies, you guys need to react to Top Secret
King? and which king might that be? King Richard? King Louis? King Kong??? Larry King??
In terms of stupid funny movies of the 90s, please do "Down Periscope!" there are so few reactions to that one
Add 'Blankman' to 90's movie month... and 'Blank Check'
If you haven't, also watch Dracula dead and loving it. Another Mel brooks parody
I’m looking forward to the Producers. I saw the remake first on cable, and thought it was really funny then found out there was an original by Mel Brooks. Oddly I found it not as funny as the remake, but that could be because I had already seen some of the jokes.
