I'm not sure what's more ridiculous: The way that Dr. Frankestein was able to teach the monster a choreographed musical number, or the fact that everyone in this very classy establishment brought cabbage to throw at the performers
Actually it used to be quite common to bring items to throw in case of an awful performance. It was starting to become less popular, but it still happened during this time frame. Humans just like throwing stuff.
Jon Clement Apparently Mel Brooks made him argue for the scene until Gene was blue in the face and then suddenly said ‘Okay, it’s in...I just wanted to see how hard you’d fight for it’
Another case of an actor fighting for an iconic musical scene is Audrey Hepburn demanding Moon River to be included, shouting “OVER MY DEAD BODY!” After hearing it was going to be scrapped.
Watching this scene with my children and them laughing so hard tears are running down their cheeks is the ultimate parenting win. I have made mistakes but clearly, I have done something right too!
This is my grandpas favorite comedy and he watched it with my dad. It’s my dads favorite comedy and he shared it with me. It’s my favorite comedy, and now with a child of my own I can’t wait until I can share this with her
Gotta say, a choreographed song and dance routine would actually be a pretty effective way of showing people that a monster is coordinated and intelligent.
As soon as Peter Boyle said his first putting on the ritz in that voice. I have no idea how they filmed this scene without dying of laughter! The first film I ever purchased on vhs when I was 10 years old! I’ve watched this film a million times and then some and only just noticed Igor on the piano!
I read the novelisation before I saw the film, and the one thing I remember is that the monster's line was written as "ig maud blip". For some reason that has stuck with me.
tbh i shed a tear after peter ''reprised'' the role in Everybody Loves Raymond Halloween episode. *Frank Barone looks at Marie* "Frankestein sue Doctor!" RIP
I guess at one time audiences did take vegetables to the theatre to throw at the actors if the stunk . I know it happened at the Globe Theatre during Shakespeare's times , but I'm not sure when they stopped . It's a good thing they did for the sake of today's actors and playwrights !
I love how "showing the sophistication of his creation" devolved into "We need to win the audience back to our vaudeville production! Think of the negative show reviews!"
The floor shook in the theater when I first saw this. I wasn't the only member of that audience who couldn't catch his breath and was falling toward the floor.
I saw this in the theater when I was a teenager. I was laughing my ass off through the whole movie but when this scene came on I actually thought I was going to die from laughing so hard.
Same. I think the thing that makes it so funny in the moment is that this is the first time we have heard the Monster’s voice. I’d be bummed if I saw this UA-cam clip before seeing it in context. It’s so much funnier in context.
I love the idea where The Monster's choreography begins as simple as him only being able to smash his cane on the hround three times when pointed at to slowly becoming more and more intense and impressive to showcase just how much work was put into something like that. Thats such a dope scene. I gotta watch this movie
The fabulous Peter Boyle! 'POOOTIN UN DA RIZZZZT' 😂😭🤣And the lovable Gene Wilder. 🤗Great comedy! I would have loved just to be on that set! I heard it was hysterical and lovely! Rest in peace giant gentlemen 🕊
RIP Gene Wilder (June 11, 1933 - August 29, 2016), aged 83 And RIP Peter Boyle (October 18, 1935 - December 12, 2006), aged 71 You both will always be remembered as legends.
Real actors have developed talent. The dancing alone, shows an ability far above the delivery of comedy lines. Peter Boyle stands out in this scene, as does the breadth of Gene Wilder's abilities. Brilliant.
Actually, when it came out, it was considered A blockbuster: $100M. Now, of course, that figures to lose money, but in 1974, it was off a $5-10M investment.
The only thing that makes being stuck at home with a cold the day after Christmas bearable is unlimited sources of laughter on UA-cam, On-demand, and Netflix. THIS IS COMEDIC GOLD! Thanks for all the laughs, Gene and Peter!😂😂😂
One of the funniest movies of all time. I have owned several copies of it. We would watch it at least once a year and laugh every time because each time we would notice something new.😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Gene originally went into acting as a serious actor. He talks about it in one of his books. But he just realized later he found far more fame doing comedy.
No one's talking about how Gene Wilder - a comedian - is dancing SO BRILLIANTLY in the style of Fred Astaire, a professional dancer! He's probably not doing all the actual "tap" but his fluidity across the floor is exceptional!
Saw this movie at the drive-in when it first came out. You could barely hear the monologue because everyone in every car was laughing so loud. Years later I realized just how talented Gene was. R.I.P Marty, Peter, Gene and Cloris.
I love the scene where the one light blows up for a couple reasons 1 because the second something wrong happens everyone loses their shit and 2 because every single person in the theater just had lettuce
My favorite line of the movie is When Igor meets Dr. Frankenstein at the train station and tells him to “walk this way,” the scientist thinks he means “way” as in direction and simply follows him. But Igor stops and says, “Walk THIS way,” prompting Frankenstein to mimic his hunched style of walking. This is easily the most iconic quote from Young Frankenstein, even though it’s a classic joke that predates the movie. According to The Guardian, Aerosmith got the name for their song “Walk This Way” from Young Frankenstein.
@@williamsnyder5616 Fun fact, the equipment in the lab is actually the exact same equipment props used in the original film. They were incredibly lucky to come across the collector who had all the original props and graciously let them use it in the film.

He had that piercing, wtf-is-wrong-with-you stare that any good straight man needs. His face just screamed, "This world's gone mad, and I'm here stuck in it."
Rest in peace Peter Boyle, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, and Harvey Korman. Thanks for bringing so much laughter to us. You were in a great generation that made great movies. So many times I think of a line here or there from Young Frankenstein and I have to crack up. My favorite is about the Abby normal brain. Just continuous crazy jokes and puns throughout the whole movie . They don't write stuff like this anymore.
I find it ironic how, in this particular regard, Mel Brooks’ comic portrayal was more faithful to Mary Shelley’s envisioned character than some prior depictions. In the original novel, not only is the creature massive with superhuman strength, but he also has superhuman speed which makes him difficult for Victor Frankenstein to hunt. Near the end, there is even a mention that the creature stole firearms and briefly used them to ward off villagers in the frozen north.
Wowie this is My Grandfather's Brother's song Puttin On The Ritz" Jan Garber was the first one to record "Puttin On The Ritz " He made it a hit reaching #4 on the Billboard charts. Then Little Richard followed his lead.🎶🎻🎵
Denied and accepted scene only after the squeaky wheel got the oil. Excellent, Gene. We miss you Mr. Wonka! Fight for what you want in life. Lesson schooled.
My friends and I used to belt out Putting on the Ritz like Peter Boyle whenever anyone did something dumb. My aunt took my sister and I to see this movie in the theater when we were kids. My sister was holding popcorn when Gene Wilder is going through the brains and gets to Igor putting his head in place of a jar. When Igor says Boo! my sister was so scared she threw the buttered popcorn up into the air and it rained down on 3 aisles of people. Still the funniest movie and funniest moment I've ever seen.
Actually this brings up a good question... why in situations like this does the audience just already have rotten vegetables and garbage on them and ready to throw at people? Or do they have it on them or does it magically appear when peoples' performances suck?
Same practice is common today on the site named ironically Rotton Tomatoes... just look at the idiot critics who panned Dave Chappelle. Some people just plan on being petty assholes.
Common knowledge. But the main joke is that they are all wealthy and shouldn’t need to get their payback. It’s a joke on many layers that brooks and wilder were making on how affluent people still are still greedy no matter how much money you have.
Seriously, one of the best comedy movies ever made! And, this is one of the most ingenious scenes of the entire movie. I was in tears from laughing when I saw this for the first time. 😂
First time I ever watched Young Frankenstein was October of 2002 when I was undergoing my eighth grade fall semester at frontier academy Middle School in Greeley, Colorado. Man, I was hooked.

Well it is Hollywood, and you've just got to train your mind to jump-cut just like the movies do.
Lol
I always carry a head of cabbage with me. Don't you?
Write to your local politician to demand that spoofs of Victorian sci-fi novels be rigorously grounded in historical accuracy.
I love the idea that his thinking process went 1) get corpses 2) create monster 3) take it on the Vaudeville scene.
King Kong without all the location filming hassle.
@@00BillyTorontoBill lol, basically the same business plan as the underpants gnomes
The BEST of Mel Brooks.
4) profit
Makes logical sense to *me!*
Wilder says in the Conan interview that he fought hard with Mel Brookes to have this scene included. Well done Gene.
Jon Clement Apparently Mel Brooks made him argue for the scene until Gene was blue in the face and then suddenly said ‘Okay, it’s in...I just wanted to see how hard you’d fight for it’
Well done! The film only win from it.
Now it's one of the most iconic scenes in Hollywood history ❤️
What’s bizarre is it’s totally a scene that would be right up Brooks’s alley.
Another case of an actor fighting for an iconic musical scene is Audrey Hepburn demanding Moon River to be included, shouting “OVER MY DEAD BODY!” After hearing it was going to be scrapped.
I can never hear this song normally because of this movie
Zack Perkins same 🤣
Zack Perkins
Me neither. 😃
Now that pic going around FB again of a Baby Octopus with a Top Hat on , this is all i can see!!!!!!!!!!
Zack Perkins agreed hahahahaha
I don’t think this song was normal to begin with 😂
No one knew what Peter Boyle was going to sound like in this scene. He completely ad-libbed it.
I didn't know he ad-libbed this scene. Bravo!
@@KathyKelly-lw2gg It probably ain't the only time.
Can definitely imagine wilder cracking up every take with that.

I need to put that on a coffee mug
Hi larious......unbelievable
I honestly have no idea how Gene Wilder shot this scene without laughing his ass off.
I could say the same about peter boyle lol
@Lost yet Found Reminds me of watching all the pink panther bloopers. It seems Peter Sellers was often right on the edge of bursting out in laughter.
Reacting to others with practice
cause he was a master at comedy
Well that was the 75 other takes we dont see
Watching this scene with my children and them laughing so hard tears are running down their cheeks is the ultimate parenting win. I have made mistakes but clearly, I have done something right too!
You're raising the kids right.
Gene was right!
This is my grandpas favorite comedy and he watched it with my dad. It’s my dads favorite comedy and he shared it with me. It’s my favorite comedy, and now with a child of my own I can’t wait until I can share this with her
You sir have every right to that "best dad ever" coffee mug!
Good for you!!

Gotta say, a choreographed song and dance routine would actually be a pretty effective way of showing people that a monster is coordinated and intelligent.
because he now had a bbbrrrraaaiin
I don’t think a lot of people would get this reference. But Warner Bros does Smallfoot 2 and have Migo and Percy do a routine, I’ll die happy
@@krystalharwood6359 though, is it abi normal?
You don't recognize slapstick when you see it.
As soon as Peter Boyle said his first putting on the ritz in that voice. I have no idea how they filmed this scene without dying of laughter! The first film I ever purchased on vhs when I was 10 years old! I’ve watched this film a million times and then some and only just noticed Igor on the piano!
What?! I never noticed. 🤣🤣
Oh god, I never noticed Igor!
Also, I read that Peter Boyle's delivery was ad-libbed, so I assume there's at least one take of Gene losing it 😄
I read the novelisation before I saw the film, and the one thing I remember is that the monster's line was written as "ig maud blip". For some reason that has stuck with me.
Can you imagine the first full theater viewing? Bet it was loud during this scene
It’s "Eye-gor"🤣😂
Pure GENIUS. What a cast, writers, director! I wish Gene Wilder had done more singing. I love his singing in this and in Wonka.
He and Mel Brooks should have done a compilation.
He did a little bit of singing for an Alice in wonderland adaptation in the late 90s but I don’t remember seeing a whole lot of his roles with singing
Where is fancy bread in the Hart or in the head
tbh i shed a tear after peter ''reprised'' the role in Everybody Loves Raymond Halloween episode. *Frank Barone looks at Marie* "Frankestein sue Doctor!" RIP
Great cast. I always wished that Marty Feldman got more credit for his role. He was a comic genius in his own right.
I always thought it was strange that the people went to see a show , but brought rotten cabbages with then just in case it was bad .
I think it’s stranger that we stopped doing that
also aren't they like scientists? this isn't a play it's a scientific convention. or am i remembering wrong?
They probably just read the script before they showed up.
You mean you don't?
I guess at one time audiences did take vegetables to the theatre to throw at the actors if the stunk . I know it happened at the Globe Theatre during Shakespeare's times , but I'm not sure when they stopped . It's a good thing they did for the sake of today's actors and playwrights !

gene mouthing "i love him" and that playful knock on the chin really makes this scene an 11/10
Such a sweet funny moment.
5, 6, 7, 8!
When he try’s to salvage the show is always the best part to me. Gets me every time.
"FOR SAFETY'S SAKE DONT HUMILIATE HIM"
I’m cracking up when he goes 5,6,7,8… starts tap dancing like a fool!!! 😂😂😂

For some reason, when I was kid I had a dvd with a ton of random classics like this and I would always love when this came on
I just noticed Igor is on the piano in this bit and I first saw this when it was in the theaters!
Oh my god 😂 that’s how long it takes me to notice small things, too.
Out of the HUNDREDS of times I've watched this, I never noticed! Thank you for pointing this out!
Learned something today. Thanks!
The great Marty Feldman.
That’s Eyegor
The fabulous Peter Boyle! 'POOOTIN UN DA RIZZZZT' 😂😭🤣And the lovable Gene Wilder. 🤗Great comedy! I would have loved just to be on that set! I heard it was hysterical and lovely! Rest in peace giant gentlemen 🕊
I’m going to put my neck out here and DECLARE this is probably THE FUNNIEST SCENE EVER. The subtleties of comedy are so insanely sublime.
IKWYM.......and I'll raise you Hank Azaria as Karloff in Night at the Museum.........I don't believe you just did that!
More like this whole movie is genius and hilarious!
My favorite scene is the dart game 😂
This definitely my favourite version of Frankenstein, it's old but still makes me bust a gut laughing
As timeless as Wonka 😌
I got introduced to Frankenstein by Alvin and the Chipmunks
That slight pan over to Igor on the piano always slays me.
Oh my gosh, I've watched this a million times and ice NEVER noticed Igor on piano. Thanks!!!!😂

Does it count that I've watched it a few hundred times since it came out? I can stand in for a bunch of people
I’m 29 and I discovered this movie two years ago. Didn’t expect to get a few good laughs out of it
who doesn't know about Young Frankenstein?

Still miss him to this day
Gene isn't known for his singing, but his voice at 0:25 is great
Have you never heard him sing Pure Imagination?
I’ve only seen Gene in movies where he sings lol
I mainly remember his singing of Pure Imagination in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, this number, and "Beautiful Soup" in Alice in Wonderland.
He has the same hairstyle he had in Willy Wonka!
Gene originally went into acting as a serious actor. He talks about it in one of his books. But he just realized later he found far more fame doing comedy.

Peter Boyle, RIP, such a fantastic character actor.
Yeah pour one out for Peter Boyle for sure.
Frank Barone, Robert's & Raymond's Father and Mary's Husband
Great movie, I remember seeing it when it came out in 1974 with my parents & grand parents :-)
Bahahahaha i still crack up everytime he says putting on the ritz
Peter Boyle must have had fun trying to do this in those tall platform shoes!
Such legends back then, they don't make movies like they use to. Mel Brooks is a Genus!
Everytime I try to listen to the actual song, 15 seconds in and I'm already searching for this clip.
Saw this movie at the drive-in when it first came out. You could barely hear the monologue because everyone in every car was laughing so loud. Years later I realized just how talented Gene was. R.I.P Marty, Peter, Gene and Cloris.
And Madeline Kahn!!
I love the scene where the one light blows up for a couple reasons
1 because the second something wrong happens everyone loses their shit
and
2 because every single person in the theater just had lettuce
one way or the other, lettuce have a ball.
Just offscreen, Mr. Krabs is making a goldmine selling produce to throw at the Creature...
Rotten produce at a black tie event no less.
Hadn't had their lettuce yet.
Seriously....who brings rotten heads of lettuce to a Broadway musical??? This guy!
This song is stuck in my head, Gene Wilder will forever be a legend.
And Igor playing the piano... simply fantastic!!!
The way wilder looks at frankenstein with such pride at every screaming ....like that's my boy!
the way he falls at the end kills me lmao
This has to be one of the all time great bits.
Amazing mix of pathos, humor, idiocy, genius, drama, music, slapstick, and lewd remarks. Nothing like it in cinematic history.
I agree
I love Gene Wilder, that mustache, great dance with the beast!
Bless Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle. One of the most underrated movies of all time.
Extra Spooky it was a hit and now a classic how is it underrated?
Not underrated at all actually lol. Perfectly appreciated tbh.
It's a classic!!!!! Up there with Some Like It Hot and The Love Guru...

I'm think that's right..hahaha
To sit down and write the screenplay for this movie must've been loads of fun. "Let's do this gag. Let's now do that gag. ..." GREAT movie!
As many times as I have watched this, I still crack up. How did Peter Boyle keep a straight face?
Easy, the make-up man built it that way.
Gene Wilder. The man that made the straight man actually funny
He had that piercing, wtf-is-wrong-with-you stare that any good straight man needs. His face just screamed, "This world's gone mad, and I'm here stuck in it."
No matter how awful a day I may have had, this one scene fixed anything and everything!
This could not be more perfect, in so many ways.
One of my go-to make me laugh scenes
Just need to think of the look of pride in wilder's eyes when the monster sings to crack up.
Seen it a million times and I laugh every time like I've never seen it before.
One of my absolute favorite movies!
Rest in peace Peter Boyle, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, and Harvey Korman. Thanks for bringing so much laughter to us. You were in a great generation that made great movies.
