BLAZING SADDLES Movie Description:
In this satirical take on Westerns, crafty railroad worker Bart (Cleavon Little) becomes the first black sheriff of Rock Ridge, a frontier town about to be destroyed in order to make way for a new railroad. Initially, the people of Rock Ridge harbor a racial bias toward their new leader. However, they warm to him after realizing that Bart and his perpetually drunk gunfighter friend (Gene Wilder) are the only defense against a wave of thugs sent to rid the town of its population.
Blazing Saddles is a 1974 American satirical Western black comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. Starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, the film was written by Brooks, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Alan Uger, and was based on Bergman's story and draft. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, was nominated for three Academy Awards and is ranked No. 6 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Laughs list.
Brooks appears in three supporting roles, Governor William J. Le Petomane, a Yiddish-speaking Native American chief and "a director" in line to help invade Rock Ridge (a nod to Hitchcock); he also dubs lines for one of Lili von Shtupp's backing troupe. The supporting cast includes Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, and David Huddleston, as well as Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, and Harvey Korman. Bandleader Count Basie has a cameo as himself, appearing with his orchestra.
The film satirizes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, with the hero being a black sheriff in an all-white town. The film is full of deliberate anachronisms, from the Count Basie Orchestra playing "April in Paris" in the Wild West, to Slim Pickens referring to the Wide World of Sports.
In 2006, Blazing Saddles was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

AIRPLANE! IS THE NEXT MOVIE REACTION.
Also Have A Surprise Christmas Movie Reaction For You All This Week, What Is Another Christmas Movie Should We Watch For Christmas Next Week?
I Know I Put A Schedule Out Last Week, And We’ll Still Do It. But Just Wanted To Do Something For The Holidays..... I’m Thinking Next Week We Should YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, Unless There Is A Real Christmas Movie Y’all Want To Do?
Young Frankenstein
Just so you know. Movies that were or are filmed using actual film is better than digital. So when you watch a older movie that was filmed the pixel is over 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 vs digital which is only 9,000,000. This is why film looks better on 4K Ultra vs a movie that was filmed using digital. Film is Superior to Digital.
try robin hood men in tights
Btw the reason the reason the town is all named Johnson is because they are inbred.
Also fun fact the film was co-written by Richard Pryor.
@@Jackknivesreviews Richard Pryor was also supposed to be the sheriff played by Cleavon Little
Blazing Saddles isn't a racist move, it a movie that makes fun of racists.
YES - exactly that!
this!!!
Agreed. If this movie triggers someone, then they are the racist.
I watched this as a child and it worked as i saw racism as stupid and absurd ever since, which was Mel Brookes intent.
its painful that it is still necessary to point that out to some people
When an interviewer asked Mel Brookes if he thought this movie could be made today he said “It couldn’t be made then, we did it anyway”.
If you cross examine a lot of Sitcoms/stand ups/movies today with pop culture films/tv shows and stand ups back than let’s say 90’s and winding back! You will realize it was a lot more brutal but yet funnier than a lot today!
@@cullenbohannon1408 superbad was almost 15 years ago
@@cullenbohannon1408 There is a difference in the vulgarity as it is used. Here the vulgarity as used, is used to poke fun at different nationalities but with a specific purpose. Other movies may be comedies and be very vulgar, but for vulgarities sake. It's more about purpose and use of (not too much of a good thing, change it up every once in a while.)
I mean they made Jojo Rabbit recently so it’s possible if you have guts.
Has nobody watched Django Unchained lol. It was the serious version of this movie. Utleast blazing saddles had comic relief.
The only thing better than watching a Mel Brooks movie for the first time, is watching someone else watch a Mel Brooks movie for the first time! 😄👍
Well said!
Perfect analysis.
Agreed! It's my all time favorite movie. I've been enjoying all the reaction videos and it's been a riot.
Not really - that depends on who's watching it. Some are dumber than others.
@@Vinterfrid Well, yeah. I mean, you have to know the person you're watching it with is someone would get that type of humor and catch all the little details that make it so great! Because watching it with someone you know who wouldn't appreciate it would be maddening! 😬
I don't think the 'taking himself hostage' scene will ever get old for me.
I lose it at "hold it men.....he's not bluffing"
@@ISCREAM.STORE1 yeah, that _is_ pretty funny. That entire scene is gold.
Lol, U remember when OJ Simpson was running from the police at 5 mph in the famous white bronco chase, they were saying that he was threatening to shoot himself. With my dark sense of humor that's the first thing that popped in my mind, I just couldn't help but picture OJ doing the same thing. Maybe a watched to many of the police squad naked gun movies with OJ
@@robnewsome2407 "whats nordberg doing in detroit?"
@@ISCREAM.STORE1 lol, yes those are good ones too, just about anything with Leslie Nielson is hilarious. I haven't watched them in a while, it's about time to look them up again I think
"I'm sorry I shouldn't be laughing at that" Yes, yes you should. Brookes mocked all things evil.
"Hey, where are the white women at"?
@Joseph- first time I saw that I had tears pouring. Mel knows what makes us twisted folk laugh
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing at this."
No, that's exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
This was when we could laugh and not be so politically correct. We all laughed and weren’t offended. I thought it was a great movie. You’re correct. This movie was like the cartoons which were really made for adults.
Mel Brooke's the King of inappropriately funny movies!
@@EdwardGregoryNYC no she doesn't
@@EdwardGregoryNYC if Sarah Silverman is your standard then hooo-boyyyy.....
@@EdwardGregoryNYC it only worked because they simply didn't care. and they treated the racism as what it really is. Absurd. I still haven't found a character in this movie that has taken themselves seriously. Horses included.
Its actually crazy to me that this movie came out over 50 years ago and still holds up as well as it does.
Hold up! I was born in 1972, and I'm not 50....... yet! And Blazing Saddles came out in 1974. Do your math right. Sheesh! 😉
@@phydeux kids. Am I right? 😁
Because it was an original idea, today movies are just a copy and psste of a prequel of a sequel of a reboot
The funniest part with that opening song - Brooks just wanted a soundalike to that singer, and was surprised when the genuine article auditioned. He then felt kind of bad because he got the impression that the singer didn't actually realize that it was a *parody* movie, as he gave the song his all.
I've heard that the singer didn't know it was a parody right up until he saw the film in theaters, and was shocked by what he had sung a song for.
Cleavon Little laughing when Gene Wilder says "You know, morons" was not acting. Gene Wilder ad-libbed the line and it took Cleavon Little totally off guard.
I can tell it was a genuine laugh
@@rjslaton4073 Yes. That was my favorite scene.
Still acting.
Best line in the movie!
At this time they were canceling "Soap" and Benson
"I can already tell they had an absolute _blast_ working on this movie."
"One of our biggest hassles during the making of "Blazing Saddles" was a number of shooting delays which occurred because we actors couldn't stop giggling. Mel Brooks took as much of this as he could, and then cut us a deal: he'd film at least two takes of every scene, the first of which would be to get it all out of our system. After that, we'd have to get serious. At least we knew the audience would love it!"
- Burton Gilliam (Lyle, the henchman in the black hat, vest and red shirt)
In future movies, when he had Dom Deluise in the cast, Mel would budget 2 extra shooting days to allow for cast corpsing,
I absolutely love this movie!! I was only 2 when it was made and I never watched it for the first time until 1991 but I have it damn near memorized I've seen it so many times!!
Golden glove champ in the uS Coast guard. Won 201 fights out of 217...and those are ,all, his real teeth!
The cast of "Spaceballs" had the same problem with trying notn to laugh.
@@styx53ocean
Fun fact: In Spaceballs, whilst they were 'combing the desert', the guy with Afro Comb who shouts out 'We ain't found shit ...!' would eventually go on to play Tuvok in 'ST: Voyager'...
The best part about Sheriff Bart singing "The Camptown Races" while he's putting up the wanted posters @13:53 is that just a few scenes prior, he claimed to not know the song when Lyle asked him to sing, prompting Lyle and the others to make asses of themselves, proving how wily and witty Bart is compared to his adversaries. I love how subtle Mel Brookes is in showing this to the audience with little things like that.
And he sings it in PROPER English while the cowboys sound stereotypically dumb, to the delight of Bart and his friends.
"Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes" gets me every time.
I use that line in RL a lot, just to see who gets it...not many do.
@@TeargasHorse Aww bummer. That’s a great line.
Mine is , "Is it twoo what they say about black men..."
@@magaisacult2023 “oh it’s twoo, it’s twoo...”
Slim Pickens great actor.
People saying they only just found out this movie exists gives me a serious case of the olds.
It should give you a case of "I'm part of something which will live forever."
@@kurtjk01 until they cancel it
Yes you're getting old and so am I. I saw this movie 40 years ago
Mel Brooks will ensure. The mob will meet it’s match if they come for him.
Oh gawd we are old . 😂
Cleavon Little passed away far too soon. He was a remarkable talent and his acting, along with Gene Wilder as his sidekick, made this whole movie.
He was also great in Fletch Lives as Calculus Entropy, aka Special Agent Goldstein.
Honestly, my favorite line in the movie was when Taggart said, "...We'll cut him off at the pass!" And Lamar replied, "Cut him off at the pass? I hate that cliché!" And shoots Taggart in the foot
Mine is probably "How did he do such FANTASTIC stunts...with such LITTLE FEET?!!!"
Seeing other people react to a movie you love, is like getting to see the movie for the first time again. Thanks for the reactions!
Yes. I like that he likes the movie.! so funny
Very true!
@Adam Grant sorry you consented to house arrest, but at least you got to start watching some funny and heartfelt people watching things you've seen.
My dad and uncle watched this when it came out, thinking that it was a western. They didn't realize it was a comedy until the movie started. It's still one of my dad's favorite movies.
The guy who sang the theme song wasn't told it was a comedy and he poured himself into it as a serious ballad.
I love you and I love your dad 💕
@@mikejankowski6321 yes , that was , Frankie Lane ; he also sang the theme song for "Rawhide"
John Wayne was actually offered a role in the movie and while he liked the script and thought it was a very good and funny movie he felt that he had to turn it down.
The hangman, I'm sure this was already told but it's a Monty Python reference.
What a fucking great movie this man.
The Morons line was improvised, and the reaction at the end was genuine and unscripted.
There is an interview with Mel were he talks about the language used in the movie. What people don't realize is that the studio was more worried about the farting scene than the language. He was told to take it out but he refused. He actually got in trouble when the movie came out. After the numbers were in, the studio wasn't upset any more.
Saw this on tv once where they blanked the sound during the campfire scene, might as well have just cut the scene out as having the cowboys just standing up and sitting down...
And now, fart gags are dime a dozen in movies and TV.
@@shorttimer874 - I've seen TV cuts where they DID cut the scene entirely. 🙄 Never understood that.
That's my dad's favorite part. 🤣🤣🤣
"I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be laughing"... YES YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's COMEDY!!!! Mel Brooks made fun of EVERYBODY! We have forgotten how to LAUGH! Or are afraid too!
Mel Brooks was concerned about the language and stereotypes and asked Richard Pryor if he thought they had gone too far. You see what his answer was.
"...but not the Irish."
Love that line.
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO MEL BROOKS IS? He's a comedy god.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best part is, the actor saying that line is Irish.
The uncut version's "Dwessing Woom" scene is even more hilarious. After the "It's twue!! It's twue!!", Bart says "Yeah, it's twue, but you're sucking on my arm." Even in this movie the censors wouldn't let that shit fly.
That's not even on the disk that I bought around 1997-1998. I've never heard that before.
Richard Pryor wrote that extra line. I've never seen a cut of the movie that still has it.
@@grumpyoldbastard0563 It does show up on the extras in the recent DVD releases.
@@unseeliediabolus6779 thank you, I'll have to check it out.
I saw the uncut, the line is ;
"Excuse me ma'am, but your sucking on my elbow".
They could have left it , it's funny.
I legit cried when I watched this after Gene Wilder died.
"Where you headed, cowboy?"
"Nowhere special..."
"'Nowhere special.' I always wanted to go there..."
I normally don't have any emotional connection to any actors. Losing Gene Wilder was like a punch in the heart.
Yeah he was an amazing actor and person. I actually cried when I heard he died.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Wilder
The Supersuckers wrote a song based off of that line...
ua-cam.com/video/4Z_yDMQB2Bg/v-deo.html
Hahahaha, and he also had the box of popcorn from the movie theater!
I always loved that line
Madeline Kahn was nominated for an Oscar for her performance. She was brilliant.
It's twew it's twew
Glad you enjoyed this movie, Mel Brooks is such a phenomenal writer/director/producer/actor but you definitely gotta have a certain type of sense of humour to fully appreciate it lol
Bruh, I love how you said, "This movie didn't seem that racist," and I think that's straight up because this movie is making fun of racists.
What's crazy about it too is that it's meta in itself. The movie is showing that the racists are absolute morons, but it's also making fun of any critics who might take offense to a black man being cast as the main character in a movie (ESPECIALLY OVER GENE WILDER!) I imagine that there was probably some projected controversy about that at the time, and the movie is saying, "Hey, these racists are dumb. Are you gonna be racist and dumb too?"
I love this movie. I love how it brings attention to how stupid racism is. Reminds me of Dave Chapelle
FYI - Dave Chappelle was even in a Mel Brooks movie - Robin Hood: Men In Tights... 😉
Well summed up. I've always loved this movie for making fun of racism and the like in 1970. And in a fantastic way when watching it now in 2021 it makes fun of lefty sjw Karen's for being so easily triggered.. ageless comedy cinema
It would be extremely hard to do this kind of movie today,. No one can laugh anymore without someone taking offense. Then we wonder why we are so divided as a nation...
@@conradkostelecky7935 Yes, and that's sad.
Because it isn't racist.
It is the opposite.
This was from an era not that long ago when people could have fun with racial differences and we laughed about it.
Not sure what happened in the last 10 years but somehow we managed to lose our way and become way too sensitive.
This movie doesn’t just break the fourth wall...it completely destroys it 😂👏
Awe Man You Right About That. Like Seriously It Literally Did 😆
@@HelloMellowXVI not just the 4th wall, but the 5th wall as well
I would say they didn't just break it. They freaking nuked the 4th wall.
and the sound stage wall!
YOU MISS THAT THERE WAS A "FAMILY FEUD" BETWEEN THE "D1CKS" AND THE "JOHNSONS"!!!
Didnt know about that, I was more of the mind that it was a play on words of Fort Dix.
Oh. 😮
Just found your channel and I've only watched a couple so far and loving them ( both Mel Brooks films haha) Think you have one of the best intros. The "you know morons" line improvised by Gene Wilder, so Cleavon Littles' reaction is completely genuine
The point of all the racism and "N" word all over when Mel Brooks made Blazing Saddles was to actually show just how dumb racism is. Look at the characters and how they think and act while being racist. Then look at how smart the none racist characters are.
Yeah but don't sit here and call People Soft and snowflakes for them not liking racism literally what's the point of sitting there and liking and joking about racism it's not funny you people are just sick and twisted I swear And only racist white people sit there and say let's make racism a joke when there's people on a daily who uses the n-word with hard-r to offend black people but that's a joke too right!?! that's not something you racist people are ready to talk about right???
@@AnythingLounge i think you misunderstand the demographic that people refer to as "soft snowflakes". it's the demographic which actively protests against the existence of movies that mock racism. if the subject matter is too much for someone without them disavowing it as racist, then I doubt that anyone cares. movies like blazing saddles and the more recent jojo rabbit are some of the best tools by which to combat racism. every joke is made at the expense of the bigoted and the corrupt. it is good to be able to laugh at movies like this (although i understand if people are too uncomfortable to) because it mocks such stupid ideologies. i'm admittedly talking as a white person, but having one's ideas laughed at is the greatest defeat for an idiot.
Even Hedley Lamarr, I don't see him as actually racist... but knew he could advance his money making schemes by sending the town a black sheriff. So both intelligent, scheming, but not really racist... just using racism against idiots to do his bidding.
My favorite joke is the toll booth. Something about the whole "Someone go back and get a whole shit load of dimes" just gets me every time.
The J a le Petamaine through way. What will that asshole think of next.
@@becmer FYI... the inspiration for the Governor's name:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Pétomane
I live in a state where on every road project, they put up a large sign giving credit to the governor. When I drive past it, I always think "What will that asshole think of next."
That was always my favorite bit as well!
@@nowthatsjustducky OK, that was worth knowing. Thanks.
A bit of history for those to young to remember Heady Lamar.
The was a famous actress from Germany, that escaped from Germany in the 1930's because her husband was Jewish. She was also a brilliant inventor, and created a system of rotating radio frequencies that the US used to create bombs and torpedoes.
The exact same technology (known as "Spread Spectrum") that ultimately made cell phones and Blu Tooth possible. That is what the name of "Hedley Lamar" was spoofing.
Idk why but the Deadpool add in of him laughing at your Power Ranger joke literally killed me. I watched it like 5 times. 🤣
"Where the white women at"
Is one of my favorite clips in all of cinema 🤣
Get me every time.
That line is my go-to GIF on social media sites.
I also find it hilarious that Gene Wilder is trying to sound homosexual with the "Hey boys" :) like the 2 things the klan hate the most.
Yep.
Yup!
"Man. They said you was hung!"
"And they was right. "
Gets me every time.
40 years watching this movie and I missed that line!
@@NoPawn that's another beauty of this film - you can watch it 100 times and still find a joke that you missed
Fun trivia: After promising Warner Brothers that he would edit out several "offensive" scenes, such as the infamous farting sequence, Mel Brooks never cut a single scene except one: after the room is darkened and Lilly (Madeline Kahn) informs Bart "It's TWUE! It's TWUE!," Bart (Cleavon Little) quietly states, "You're sucking on my arm." The scene was later added back to the home video release.
Fun trivia: When auditioning for the role of Lili, Madeline Kahn was asked by Mel Brooks to pull up her skirt so he could see her legs. She was quite hesitant, being unclear of Brooks' intentions. Brooks actually just wanted to see if she had legs good enough to approximate Marlene Dietrich's famous "gams." So she lifted her skirt and said, "No touching."
Fun trivia: At the end of the movie when the whole group is running out of the Warner Brothers studio front gates, there is a man in a sweater standing on the sidewalk, watching the action. Mel Brooks has said that the man was not part of the movie, and had simply wandered into the scene. They shooed him away and then went to film the scene. The guy came back into the shot, and is seen standing next to a light pole as the characters stream past him down the street. Brooks had asked the man to move, as they were getting ready to shoot that scene. The man, not understanding their requests, stood there. So Brooks sent out a waiver for him to sign, and left him in the movie.
3:30 it was around this point you began to realize what kind of movie this was.
I know I'm late to this party, but I think Mel made this for us to laugh out loud, and your laughter was so awesome!! Thank you for not being afraid to laugh and let it out!!! 😃
this movie doesn't break the fourth wall, it obliterates it
Nah, I'd say it Hiroshima's the fourth wall.
...and the 5th wall, and the 6th wall, and the 7th wall, and the floor, and the ceiling...plus the out house.
Thats every Mel Brooks movie
There would have to be a forth wall first 🤣
I don't think this movie, or any Mel Brooks movie for that matter, even *starts* with a fourth wall
Deadpool: I break the 4th wall 'cause I'm zany and insane!

Mel Brooks: That's cute...hold my saddle.

@@jaylonpahsetopah2610It's more like they're comparing all of Mel Brooks' on-screen personas to a comic book character.
My favourite sub plot is everyone being Johnson. Gets me everytime.
You can laugh at everything. There’s no restrictions. It’s the day we laughed at ourselves & each other for fun, not for evil! It wasn’t politics. Just have fun! I’m cracking up listening to you!
I'm not sure how you can think that a satire that mocked racism wasn't political.
"What time frame is this!?"
It's Mel Brooks. All of them.
I immediately thought "wait a couple minutes and the governor will tell you".
I always took it too mean hanging people was medieval, so may as well have someone like that doing the hanging.
I often forget that there’s a whole generation of people missing out on some great comedy’s.
people are so over sensitive these days. They can't handle any of this, they'd have been triggered 5 minutes in.
It's the father of two 20something year old Sons it just makes me sad when there's a lot of timeless art in the world that they choose not to acknowledge.
No wonder I can't relate to people that didn't grow up on this stuff.
@@gizzyguzzi All in the family, The Jeffersons, Sandford and Son, Good times, What's Happening, Chico and the Man.. It was all the golden age of sitcoms. Even the movies of the time like this. I think people should watch as much as they can before it all gets censored and disappears!
My kids thinks it's better to erase the ugly parts of history from culture today. They call me racist for acknowledging things that make me uncomfortable. I tell them that censorship is the tool of tyrants. They say "ok boomer". Ffs I'm only 43. They won't be able to communicate their ideas in the future if the words and concepts they need are erased from the lexicon. Sadly the won't know the difference. We are all fucked .
This is by far one of my favorite movies! Gotta appreciate the comedy that nobody can even come close to these days! Love the reaction! Keep reacting to the comedy gems of Mel Brooks! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤🧡
Mel used Richard as a co-writer in the sense that he sought Richard's council and approval for the script (watch the movie- you'll understand) and it's humor. He used to go to him and say "Richard, bless this" everytime he wrote a new scene. Context is KEY wit his humor, always has been. It's why he's much more than a slapstick genius- he's absolutely fearless.
The Indians are speaking Yiddish. Yep that’s Mel. You are adorable.

@@SRP3572 "They darker than us! WHOOP !"
Gei kucken ahfen yam🙂
The line, "Little Bastard shot me in the ass" gets me every time.
Scrolling through comments and hit this one exactly when they say it lmao
Gene Wilder's deadpan delivery is what really sells it. He was able to keep a straight face through so many things that should make anyone crack, and it was a hallmark of his comedy.
“I like rape” is mine.
If you enjoyed Mel Brooks then I absolutely recommend Dracula(which stars Leslie Nielsen from Airplane). It’s hilarious.
The woman who plays the night club performer was Madeline Kahn probably one of the best female comedic actresses to ever grace this earth. She is missed. She is in quite a few of Brook’s films.
Dracula, Dead and Loving it, was one of my favourites growing up. I loved it.
8:25 - It warms my heart when reactors realize what they’ve set themselves up for. 🤣🤣🤣
Loved your reaction to this movie man.
Mel Brooks joked with the actors during filming... "We're probably getting arrested after we are through with this " lol
"Excuse me while I whip this out" was my catch phrase for more years than necessary...
Where the white women at?
I still do!
It appears that he didn't understand that the ladies thought that was a reference to whipping out a huge penis, which is why they screamed.
I made that my ringtone for many a phone
When this movie came out, apparently my father saw it 5 times in theaters. Each time he brought a new friend. He wanted everyone to see this movie.
There were some golden lines in this movie. The my favorite was the hangman saying 'welcome to hanging house, not to worry, everyone's equal in my eye' 🤣 so much is packed into that statement it's hilarious
Bart’s little appreciative nod after that really sells the joke.
"What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here"? Please tell me I'm not the only one that got that reference!
You're not, but only those of a certain age remember the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.
Especially the guy who just totally trashed himself going down the ski jump ramp yeah I remember it and I wish they had brought it back
There’s a shit ton of jokes that are just going to miss because the references are too old and obscure. Very few people are going to get the Count Basie Orchestra out in the middle of the desert or the Gucci saddle.
No most of us who saw it in the theater got most if not all the time sensitive bits. There are so many. I laugh every time and enjoy watching others during their 1st time. 🤣
@@MarcosElMalo2 not to mention all the Hedy Lamar jokes.
At some point, I want a poster hanging on my wall that says “Piss on you, I’m workin for Mel Brooks!”
Get me one too ! ! !
I love that this movie made you laugh so hard. This is one of my favorite movies ever. Before Family Guy, before South Park, and before The Simpsons there was Mel Brooks. He was absolutely ridiculous and it was awesome. He received a lot of criticism for this film and had numerous conflicts with studio, but he refused to make any substantial changes. The sensitive Sally's who are offended by this film don't realize that it was not promoting or endorsing racism, but instead was using satire to point out how stupid and nonsensical racism is. Plus, Mel Brooks made fun of everyone in all of his movies. Blazing Saddles was really ahead of its time in a lot of ways. A lot of people also don't know that Richard Pryor helped Brooks write the script and he was just as opposed as Brooks to making any heavy edits. They knew the movie would push buttons and generate conversations and possibly even controversy, which is exactly what they wanted. Awesome reaction, dude.
"WHAT IN THE WIDE, WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS IS A-GOIN' ON HERE?!"
Remember, one of the writers of this movie, was the late great Richard Pryor.
yep was originally going to be the sheriff but his history of drugs at teh time made him un-insurable sadly.
He wrote a lot of the Mongo lines
I think the problem would have been that the one would have been utterly changed with Pryor in the Bart role. Clevon Little plays it where all the racism just rolls off him: he's above the crap being thrown at him. I think Pryor would have had the part more to where he's throwing back the same insults being thrown at him. Would have been an entirely different movie. Fun fact, Fred the Hammer Williamson made the movie 'Adios Amigo' expressly because Pryor was shut out of 'Blazing Saddles'. Williamson also made a movie that is essentially 'Blazing Saddles' played as a straight western, called 'Boss Nigger' where two black bounty hunters take over a western town with a corrupt mayor. That one has a pretty good fistfight with Williamson and William Smith at the end.
he mentions it at the start of the video
I didn't know that. 🤔
Don't say "i shouldn't laugh at that" when watching a Mel Brooks film
Idk if you even have time to finish that sentence, before another joke has you saying it again
@@Trojianmaru Facts. Mel Brooks tried to kill people with his comedy.
Hollywood comedy experts: "So there's a specific formula we use that is guaranteed to have them rolling in their seats..."
Mel Brooks: "Give me CHAOS"
Richard Pryor was a writer and was also supposed to play the sheriff, but the studio thought that Pryor was too much of a risk, so the part went to Cleavon Little. And as much as I love Richard Prior, and how amazing he was in every other movie that he did with Gene Wilder, I have to say that Cleavon Little totally nailed it. I just can’t imagine anyone else, including Richard Prior, playing the part any better.
The line "for my next impression, jessie owens" I feel is often underappreciated.
Yea I feel the same with the laurel and hardy handshake lol
@@notevenfunny8016 Jesse Owens and Laurel and Hardy would have to be Googled by most younger folks today for them to get the jokes. Unfortunately, they have to recognize the need to do so, and they might miss that. Huge historical context to those references. Same with Hedy Lamarr and the story of the lawsuit.
@@mikejankowski6321 Hedley....
Cleavon Little was great. I haven’t seen him in a lot of stuff though.
That line damn near killed me the first time I heard it
The guy that played mongo his name is Alex Karras. He played professional football for the Detroit Lions for 11 years as defensive tackle! Pro and college Hall of Fame! Stay safe!
And he and his wife, actress Susan Clark, played the parents on "Webster."
He was also in Victor/Victoria.
And he played the sheriff in Porky's.
The Paper Lion!!!
@@captainsplifford Dude, "Victor/Victoria" is such a criminally underrated movie.
Okay, just a couple of thoughts...as another person commented, Richard Pryor was one of the writers; however, what many may not know is that before Cleavon Little's casting, Pryor was strongly considered, but the network nixed the idea, saying that his style of comedy was, "...too blue (racy)..."; that would have been the first of what turned out to be a series of "Buddy Comedies" with Gene Wilder;
Second, in the moderator's choice of referring to Sheriff Bart's resembling a power Ranger, look up the name Bass Reeves, who for over 30 years was the first Black Deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi and the real-life inspiration for the Lone Ranger (legend has it that at least one of the writers of the original Lone Ranger radio show lived down the street from one of the prisons where many of the close to 3,000 criminals he arrested were jailed, and he lived in, and spoke at least one language of Native American...
This movie was classic Mel Brooks....everything over the top for maximum effectivness. When you have time, watch his entire catalog movies. You won't be disappointed. He is one of the few people to win an Emmy, Oscar, Grammy and Tony award. That list is extremely short.
Mel Brooks always said that if you can laugh at your pain, you’ve won.
Mel Brooks is a very smart man.
Watching Mongo just absolutely deck the hell out of that horse never gets old.
That was Alex Karas, former NFL player
Mel Brooks can be seen portraying FOUR different characters in the film:
1 Governor Le Petomane *
2. The Indian chief
3. One of the Germain soldier dancers during Lilly Von-Shtupp's song & dance routine
4. In line to sign-up for raiding Rock Ridge (Mel is wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses)
* An inside joke. There was an 18th century European performer, whose stage name was "LePetomane" (Little fart", I think). He was a "FARTIST", and could fart on command. He could fart music and blow out candles from several feet away (Seriously)
He drew sold-out crowds at The moulin Rouge and performed for heads-of-state. He was a gas.
Something of note: Blazing Saddles exists not to make light of racism, it’s purpose instead is to show just how utterly stupid and ignorant racism is.
We’re all human and we’re all capable of greatness. To me, that’s the light that Blazing Saddles really shines. It’s commentary and satire at its finest.
Absolutely. Every single racist person in this is depicted as an absolute idiot. As it should be.
@@MissCaraMint Just like in real life.
@@josephcox178 Agreed.
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Why tell Trump? It's the democrats that need to learn that lesion.
And most importantly, everybody farts..💨💨💨😬
“A man that drinks like that, and does not eat, is going to die.” “When?” 😂😂😄😄😂😄
I saw this in the movie theater way back then ('74 I think).
It was so funny and absolutely NO PC or snow-flakes.
The camp fire and beans scene was so unexpected, but so over the top funny. No one could keep from laughing till they cried.
1:55 I love the zoom in and the look on his face😂
After she says “it’s twue it’s twue” Bart was meant to say in the dark “baby you’re sucking on my arm“
The censors demanded that line be cut out. 😂
I was hoping this comment was here. Happily, I'm not disappointed.
Its normally me saying this 🤣
Is there a special cut where he says the line? I swear I’ve heard that line before.
@@ms.marvelous8156 I heard it discussed in the commentary. As far as the line actually recorded by Cleavon Little I don't believe it was ever done. I believe it was eliminated in the script stage but I am not positive. I would love to hear a version of that if it exists on film. For now I think this is an actual LEGEND. The only way this story remains is by being told and passed
down person to person, over the years
"Blazing Saddles" was nominated for an Academy Award for Special Effects. The campfire scene.
Seriously.
Sound Effects?
Well it was the first fart joke ever in a film so yes groundbreaking,
Farts are universally funny. No matter your race, religion, sex, or creed - farts are fucking funny.
In certain TV showings they removed the farts and burps in that scene so it's mostly silent with people bobbing up and down
You have to remember that there were no computers in the 70's.
Madeline's character is actually based on a real person who spoke like that and sang like that.. she was nominated for an academy award for her role in the movie

Your laughter is contagious, your editing is 🔥 and you're clearly having the time of your life. Liked and subbed today.
This is how we end racism, by not getting our panties in a bunch over jokes and being able to laugh along with them. Thank you. I hope you understand how important videos like this are. Subbed.
Awe I Wish The Samething As You Buddy
@@HelloMellowXVI Keep up the good work.
I think we end racism by ending racism. Your idea of "not getting our panties in a bunch" doesn't mean that letting racist jokes slide is the way to go. The jokes in this movie are in some instances racist, but the overall point was that racism is stupid and it used racist language to show that. Many people in the US still think that just straight racist jokes are ok, they are not. And hell yes I'll get my painties in a bunch over them. We have come a long way since the 70's and backsliding will never be a good thing. Comedy can be a learning device, or it can be a cruel, destructive force. Choosing to teach is always better than tearing down people. And that is why we "get our panties in a bunch" when some insensitive ass makes a racist, homophobic, sexist joke. Being a better person is a choice, but we do have to choose.
Who invited that guy to the party 👆there's always one
Always a goof idea to laugh along with your panties.... bunched or not
“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!”
Iconic movie line!! 😆
Also know that the line was straight from a movie from the early days of film. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. ua-cam.com/video/4OcM23Hbs5U/v-deo.html
I went to Oatman, AZ a couple of years ago and they had badges that said Stinking Badge on it for sale.
@@SRP3572 Did you feed the Burros?
So cool 😎
@@maamold Mid 50s, not exactly the early days! Laurel and Hardy weren't even the early days.
My hubbys favorite line!!
He can imitate that voice so perfectly..lol
This line absolutely kills me every time. Spot on delivery and timing
Your obvious enjoyment reinforces the humor of the movie. I have loved this movie since I saw it when it came out in 1974. I grew up watching westerns every Saturday and really appreciated the spoofs of the westerns. Thank you.
I'm a 42 yo white woman, and I remember the first time seeing this movie. My reaction was pretty similar to yours. A total wtf am I watching?!? But I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness lol Some people are too sensitive for movies like this today. We need more open minded individuals like yourself in the world. Ps. I just stumbled on to your channel and loving it already! New subscriber ✌💜💫
"I shouldn't be laughing at that." Its a Mel Brooks comedy. You SHOULD be laughing at that!
I saw this in the theater when it came out, and you could literally hear everyone's butt cheeks clench up right before the belly laughter. And the hot songstress with the silly German accent was making fun of Marlena Dietrich... a famous WW2 crooner that American G.I.'s loved. She sang in an uber low register and was dramatic.
That theme song topped the charts, which is a feat in of itself, but they will never make a movie like this ever again.
I had no intention of watching the whole half hour of this but your appreciation and enjoyment of the movie made the time fly by and I watched every minute! Now, I’m going to watch your react video of my all time favorite comedy, Airplane!
I wasn’t going to either but I laughed right along with him through the whole 33 minutes
"this laurel and hearty handshake"
laurel & hardy
no one ever twigs to that but me :(
I do. I am always tickled by that silly joke. 😂😂
I got it my second time watching it LOL
Stan and Laurel were such amazing comedians!
Oh hell, I'd never got that before, and this is one of my favorite movies of all time! Thanks for that!
I saw this when it first came out. It was like a guilty pleasure - you didn't really want to laugh because the jokes were so bad (or dirty) but it was so hard not to. I haven't seen it in years. It is definitely of its time. Doubt it could be made today.
My grandson loved to say "Where are the white wimmin" at the most surprising times to crack us all up. This is one of our favorite movies.
The horse was trained to fall like that. Great animal handling
Pretty good on the rider, too: you barely register his hand yank the reigns.
If I remember correctly, I think the “have a nice day” with a smiley face design was popular with t-shirt makers in the seventies.
Yeah.. it was a 70s meme.
Inspired by a Forrest Gump accident
@@skinheadjon901 sadly the real Forrest Gump was the Zodiac killer.
Thanks to Forrest Gump.
@@DanJackson1977 I thought that was D.B. Cooper.
When you here Mel Brooks you know it’s a classic. When film was an art form.
After Bart left, Lily said, "What a nice guy!"
Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favourite movies. Caught this as a late late movie when I was in my early teens and loved it ever since.
I can't believe you glossed over the part "they said you was hung?!? And they was RIGHT!"
What I love about this movie is Mel Brooks spared no one. He hit every ethnic/social group you can and tried to offend each equally . Ha! Love it!
The only people he was trying to offend were the people who sincerely held the bigoted beliefs he was mocking. The targets of the movie's jokes are always the racists.
He wasn't trying to offend anyone. This was 1974. I think the point of this movie was not only to be ridiculously funny and to entertain but also show the stupidity of racism, sexism and all the other stupid hang ups that bothered some people back then. You know what the saddest part of this is? There are still people today that are hung up on the same ridiculousness. They'd take one look at this movie and have it banned.
Brooks makes jewish jokes in many of his movies but nobody reacts cuz he is jewish himself.
Boris...."Welcome to Hanging House! Everyone is equal in my eye"......cracks me up every time.
Dude you are an absolute joy to watch. That Billie Jean bit is something so simple that i 100 percent relate to. Can't stop watching your vids. Never stop makin em!
