I really think Hedley Lamarr's speech to the bad guys about to attack Rock Ridge should be included. "Men, you are about to embark on a Great Crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the West. Now you men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. " (Great Crusade was a gag referencing Eisenhower's message to the troops on the eve of D-Day.)
If I can find someone that so offends the people of Rock Ridge that his very appearance will drive them out of town. But where can I find such a man? Why am I asking you?
How did Harvey Korman not get an Oscar for this. I mean the whole film and cast cudda been seriously considered but Korman was so bloody good. Comedy genius.
Madeline Kahn did receive a "Best Supporting Actress" nomination here. I do think that Cleavon Little, Harvey korman, Gene Wilder, slim Pickens, Alex karras, Burton Gilliam, Mel Brooks, and Gene Wilder all deserved Oscar nominations for their work here.
Saw this movie for the first time in June and laughed so hard, got the DVD for Christmas and I was laughing really hard again, but now after watching The Carol Burnett show and seeing Harvey Korman on that, I totally forgot that he was in this movie...well, I knew, but didn't put 2 and 2 together right away because Harvey sounds a lot different in this than some of the sketches on Carol Burnett.
Remember the Carol Burnett show was on TV, you could do certain things because of censors and Family shows, but you can do this in Movies and put a rating on the Movie.
Dear Mr. Husker, it’s April, 2023, so you may not ever see this, but, like a message in a bottle, I will post it anyway. I have been watching “Blazing Saddles” since it first came out in the mid seventies. I consider it one of the truly iconic movies of my generation, the kind of movie that everyone who grew up in that era can quote and be reasonably sure that their fellow old codgers will immediately understand the reference. That being said, after almost fifty years of being a fan, until I saw your comment from approximately 2020, about Hedley Lamarr’s all but inaudible comment as he leaves the bathroom toward the end of the movie, I had never even noticed it. So thank you for adding just one more reason for me to continue to rewatch and enjoy one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
"Thank you, thank you Hedy, thank you" "It's not Hedy, it's Hedley, Hedley Lamarr" "The hell you worried about, this is 1874, you'll be able to sue her" (Everyone laughs) "Mnmmmmmmmm"
Hedy Lamarr sued Warner Bros., charging that the film's running parody of her name infringed on her right to privacy. Brooks said he was flattered; the studio settled out of court for a small sum and an apology for “almost using her name." Brooks said that Lamarr "never got the joke."
After watching this movie on a double-date in 1975, I had asked my friend, whom happens to be a person of color, if he enjoyed the movie. He reply was, "I only saw half of the movie. I was on the floor laughing my ass off during the other half".
What people don't seem to understand is that context is everything. We don't get offended by EVERY joke made at our expense, it's the context and timing. I don't recall any black folks complaining about this (or any) of Brook's movies
@@playboymaxim NO One is offended by Blazing Saddles. NO ONE. A lot of people THINK there are people who are offended, but they're not. It comes down to this: Blazing Saddles drops N bombs. It has characters in the movie dropping N bombs in a derogatory way. The thing is, the people using that language like that are idiots. They're portrayed as idiots. They're the butt of the jokes. The bad guys. They're morons. Most people get that. Where the "people find this movie offensive" canard comes in is from people who have in their life or known people who in their life dropped N bombs in derogatory ways - maybe not to actual people of color - but used the word to refer to people of color. And they were able to do that in their own circle WITHOUT being called ignorant or racist because that was "normal" to them and their circle of people. Times have changed. NOW (for like the last 50 years) there's more of an understanding of the history involved with the language and MOST people refrain from using that language, certainly in everyday conversation. Then, they see Blazing Saddles and they hear the N bombs and think, "That's supposed to be wrong (but it doesn't bother me) so it MUST offend OTHER people" who get bent out of shape when a white dude calls a black person that word. They're missing the point. The people using that language in the movie are idiots, the bad guys, the butt of the joke. Let me say this again - no one is offended by Blazing Saddles and the idea that there's some cadre of people "offended" by the movie is just self stroking bullshit. "All those "PC" people who hate this movie but not me!" Go to any Blazing Saddles video clip and you will find NOT ONE person bitching about the movie but , lordy, the people bitching about all the people who are supposedly "offended by the movie," "trying to ban it," "PC snowflakes trying to get this taken down" (videos usually having been up for years), comments like that galore.
You will only be risking your lives. While I will be risking a certain Academy award nomination for Best supporting actor.. ahoohoohoohoo!!!!😀 That should've been on the list.
The “Voodoo” quote from Hedley Lamar came from the song “You do Something to Me”, written by Cole Porter. Bob Hope and Dorothy Stone sang it in the movie “Paree Paree” in 1934.
Some good parts were left out ("daddy loves froggy," "I, your name . . . . schmucks . . ."), but funny stuff nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, this was a really funny movie, but I think I myself would have liked it better had there not been so much language (call me a prude if you like, but I just never got the appeal of foul language, and I probably will never understand it).
I loved reading his lips, during the pie-tossing scene🤣.Jerry Lewis said he was scared to play against Harvey Korman (Harvey was only 1 year younger than Jerry).
Harvey korman beyond funny and super genius rip I remember seeing this in1974 with my parents I was 7& my ultimate favorite scene the camp fire omg just beyond funny especially if ur 7 year's old 😂😂😂😂 the whole movie is a masterpiece hand's down ppl today have no clue on what good Cinema! Love Mel Brooks 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘
Other than Mel Brooks; Harvey Korman rarely got his inimitable talents appreciated and utilized by anybody else. The man was a first rate thespian.
Carol Burnett knew his talents
It's his deadpan humour that he specializes in. He sort of reminds me of John Cleese.
Wasn’t he in the original love bug?
@@patsik182 You mean the movie of the same name from 1968? Ummm..I don't think so.

What a stupid fucking comment

Breaking the fourth wall... I believe that was sort of unprecedented at the time, and genius.
Harvey Korman was a comedic genius, and one of my all-time favorite actors.
Harvey was a gem. Not many comedians could match him.
"Oh I am sorry Sir, you say that"
"What"?
"The meeting is adjourned"
"It is"?
"Here play with this"....
the best comedy ever made !
How did Harvey Korman not get an Oscar for this.
I mean the whole film and cast cudda been seriously considered but Korman was so bloody good.
Comedy genius.
I couldn't agree more.He and madeline Kahn stole the movie in my estimation.I'm however biase since my father was Harvey Korman.
Madeline Kahn did receive a "Best Supporting Actress" nomination here. I do think that Cleavon Little, Harvey korman, Gene Wilder, slim Pickens, Alex karras, Burton Gilliam, Mel Brooks, and Gene Wilder all deserved Oscar nominations for their work here.
@@chriskorman6565 Your father was one funny man, one of my favorite comic actors!
he was robbed
@@chriskorman6565 WHAT!!!??....really?......if that's true....u do realize your father was just GENIUS....u know this right?
Very well spoken man
As I will be getting the most certain academy award nomination for best supporting actor
You men will be merely risking your lives…while I will be risking…lol
The rubber duck scene is classic!
Hedley: Taggart?!?!?
Taggart: Sorry Sir...
Saw this movie for the first time in June and laughed so hard, got the DVD for Christmas and I was laughing really hard again, but now after watching The Carol Burnett show and seeing Harvey Korman on that, I totally forgot that he was in this movie...well, I knew, but didn't put 2 and 2 together right away because Harvey sounds a lot different in this than some of the sketches on Carol Burnett.

When Hedey fondles the statue with Taggart watching, then later when he says “just let me have a little feel!”
I love it!
see harvey korman in “high anxiety”. he’s hilarious
seen it......love it
"Korman. Torment the Mental Patient." said the Director and he did. One of the funniest scenes, ever.
I neeed to see that😂
Man that Headdy Lamar got screwed for best supporting actor.
I love this movie!
Splendid!
iconic film character
yes..indeed
“Sorry I just remembered...I am armed” 😂😂😂
Tectonic twat
I think it’s teutonic not tectonic
“Hey look, it’s the count da money!”
Hedley fondling the justice statue is so fuckin' funny
"Just let me have a little feel ...."
"Raisinets!"
Brilliant!
“No, I don’t know you“ lol
Didn't show Harvey spitting out the raisinettes!
Quicksand quicksand splendid splendid
"land, land, land... See snatch!"
"Drive me off this picture!"

Watch him on the Carol Burnett show. He really shown there.
And munchies. Crappy B-Movie but he's quite good and plays a dual role

@@jaysparc - good stuff...Thanks...
"That's Hedley!" Korman's character was one of my favorites in this movie and one of the most quotable lol
He was a great comedic actor. Him and Tim Conway were great together with Carroll Burnett.But his stuff in blazing saddles was priceless.
He and Tim Conway appeared on “Golden Palace” as radio DJ’s.
I could watch these clips over and over......sadly missed.....daddy loves froggy....ribbit ribbit

"How did he do such fantastic stunts with such little feet?"
Now go do that Voodoo that you do so well...........
"look Herman I fit in Hedy Lamarr's shoe!" "HEDLY!" XD gets me every time
I love that he uses the great British insult of the word " Twat" and not "Twot" as the Yankees say it 😜
Shut up twot
Give the governor a harumph!! Lol
Chewing gum in line. I hope you brought enough for everybody.
"Man, he's strict."
Hedey Lamarr was always my favorite.
its Hedley!
...favorite what?
eoselan7 Villain/character
No, her real name is Hedwig Kiesler!
Madeline Kahn was another underrated actor and comedian.
"The hell are you worried about, this is 1874! You'll be able to sue her!"
Hedley lamarr was definitely a unique character.
You will only be risking your lives. While I will be risking a certain Academy award nomination for Best supporting actor.. ahoohoohoohoo!!!!😀 That should've been on the list.
yes.. I was expecting that one as well!
Hedy Lamarr actually did bring a lawsuit for unauthorized use of her name!...
What a Teutonic Twat!
+Johnny Wadd not quite
Warner brothers and mel payed her off 50,000 not to bring a lawsuit.She obviously didn't get they were doing a homage to her.
@@chriskorman6565 For such a supposedly smart woman it seems she wasn't bright enough to understand clever comedy.
Man I love this movie. For me Harvey Korman was a big reason why this movie was so funny and successful.
Agreed!!!!😂😂😂
Should of casted ole Tim Conway....to cause Harvey Korman to loose his cool.
RIP Harvey Corman
lottsalasagna z
Harvey Corman might be gone but Hedey Lamar will live forever.
@@rippingtons60 That's Hedley!
Look Herman Iam in Hedy Lammar's shoes. thats the actress that played Helen Crump on the Andy Griffith Show.
I wish there were outtakes from this! Those must be great.
You should have shown the death scene in full.
"Douglas Fairbanks? How did he perform such amazing stunts with such tiny feet?!"
RIGHT!!! That was a big miss!
super mario 2....cool......phanto
So many good actors in this movie. Hold on while I whoop
this out.
He should have won best supporting actor for this movie like he said
This hilarious movie and others could never be made today.
The scene from 11 seconds to 30 seconds must be what tRump had in mind when he hugged the American flag on stage.
He's fondling that justice statue
The “Voodoo” quote from Hedley Lamar came from the song “You do Something to Me”, written by Cole Porter. Bob Hope and Dorothy Stone sang it in the movie “Paree Paree” in 1934.
Harvey Korman pretty much makes the whole film. A superb comic actor.
Yep still very much love groggy daddy ❤️❤️
Must have watched this 1,000 times without realizing Headley Lamarrs name is a play on actress Hedey Lamarr.
Daddy love Froggy?
Why the hell is the commercial before the video so damn loud?!? It's several times the volume of the video!
+Mike Rieves maybe check your vol level....the film is a copy of a tv.
Some good parts were left out ("daddy loves froggy," "I, your name . . . . schmucks . . ."), but funny stuff nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, this was a really funny movie, but I think I myself would have liked it better had there not been so much language (call me a prude if you like, but I just never got the appeal of foul language, and I probably will never understand it).
Idk why but my favorite part is when he sits on that guy. It just always gets me 😂 2:59
It's pure gibberish 🤣
Mel loved Hedy. (Who didn’t?) Hence the running joke.
It’s Hedley!
A villain to rival Thanos.
heddy lamarr, one of the greatest characters in cinema history
i know.....one of the absolute best
"...Hedley!"
AGREED!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:17
Did he win an oscar for this? Because he should have lol.
I don't think there's anything funnier than Harvey Korman "slapping" Madeline Kahn.
A movie is only a good as it’s villain.
Harvey Korman was Hilarious as Headly Lamarr. 😂😂😂
Hedley is my favorite character in the movie. The laughing scene around 1:00 is hilarious - Hahahahaha-mmmmmmmm!
Yes, it’s so bizarre and hilarious at the same time!!!! 😂😂😂😂
I loved reading his lips, during the pie-tossing scene🤣.Jerry Lewis said he was scared to play against Harvey Korman (Harvey was only 1 year younger than Jerry).

Fantastic movie.
Best comedy film ever.
ever........."the out of towners" starring jack lemon kicks ass....and "the odd couple" with lemon and matthau is super-classic as well
Back when Americans pronounced 'twat' correctly.
When he sat on somone in the dark theater the voice was that the guy from barney miller?
"What the fuck??"
😅
This movie is so non-PC, it's downright hilarious.
No 'Best of Hedley Lamarr' would be complete without 'mugs, thugs, pugs' - that scene definitely cracked at least two of my ribs ;)
