This was supposed to come out a while ago, but it got hit by copyright very hard; we fought and it finally won! So, here's a third movie upload for this week. :)
Does anybody remember the guy who asked them to sing the song years later he's been doing car commercials through the 90s and the early 2000s I remember he still wore the same outfit so people would remember him from this movie with the red shirt and the black vest I can't remember his name but you can look him up
@@biodigitaljazz5814 He’s in tonnes of stuff.
Oh I remember you guys talking about that in another video, how you tried so many different versions! Glad it finally could be posted!
Obviously the man who played the sheriff was the great Cleavon Little he had his own show at one point
Of course the governor was played by the creator of this film Mel Brooks and we all know Madeline Kahn the lady who was making a German spectacle of herself over his big long schnitzengruben
“Oh boys, look what I have here!”
“Hey where the white women at?!”
Funniest line ever.😂😂😂😂😂
"And now for my next impression.....JESSE OWENS!" Busted a gut when I first saw that
The "Hush Harriet! Thats a sure way to get him killed!!" Is the one that gets me
That and "Excuse me while I whip this out!!"
What about:
They said you was hung.
Yeah, and they was right.
Haha
that line and "yea, but i shoot with this hand" are my 2 favourite lines in the film.
Never fail to make me crack up 😂😂
Gene Wilder improv'd the "You know, morons" line. Cleavon Little's crack up was genuine.
And during the build-up you can see Cleavon thinking "He's about to go off-script, I just know it."
Fact!
He was truly a master of Comedy with a magical sense for timing.
Time stamp of the line?
@@mrshadow4007 they cut just before it unfortunately, it happens just after the sherrif meets the old lady.
Interviewer" They say you couldn't make a film like Blazing Saddles today"
Mel Brooks" They said we couldn't make it back in the day, but we did"
It almost wasn't released. The studio heads hated it.
Didn't matter, Brooks produced it and had final say on editing as well.
@@rickcoona But find anyone in movie business these days who would dared to make movie like this and invest money in it.......
@@madzec
Quentin Tarantino would. He doesn't make outright 100% comedy but look at Django it's a comedy in actual slave times his and Mel styles are different, but they both took the route of making something very sensitive but make the people who were evil morons who get what's coming to them so it goes over at least a little better with audiences. Neither has the balls to make these 2 films with the blacks being the "villains"
Lol and I don't mean that negatively just that THAT'S something that would take some big stones. It's like people always use Nazis and Hitler but always portray them as dumb and the villains they are imagine if someone went "well let's see this story from the Nazis/Slave owners perspective and see they were the hero's of their story and the Jews/slaves were the bad guys"
@@rickcoona Blazing Saddles was produced by Michael Hertzberg.
Mel Brooks is a comedic genius. He wrote, produced, and wrote the songs and score for this film. He also played the governor and the Native American chief. I highly recommend his other films, especially Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety.
High anxiety.....you.....WIIINNN!
He had a writing team that also included Richard Pryor, Andrew Bergman, Norman Steinberg and Alan Uger. Furthermore, Brooks was not the producer Michael Hertzberg was.
Don't forget "The Producers." Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are magic together in that movie, and if you don't laugh at "Springtime for Hitler" you might need to make sure you have a pulse.
Don't forget Silent Movie!!!
Fucking genius!
@@jcarlovitch Brooks wanted Pryor to play the Sheriff, but the studio was scared to death of Pryor cause he had just gotten thrown off his own network TV show.
It's so funny, when Hedley Lamarr talked about risking an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In reality, it was Madeline Kahn who was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Gene's line when he's talking about the townspeople.... "You know.. Morons..." --- Was indeed ad-libbed and Clevon Little's reaction was genuine... --- This is a PERFECT example of a movie you couldn't make today. Even back THEN it crossed the line so many times it erased it.. Mel Brooks nailed it when he showed exactly how stupid racism is...
The funniest thing is the scene it got the most trouble for was the farting scene.
So tired of people saying "They couldn't make that today".. Stop letting the minority tell the majority what they can or cannot do!
@@FUCKINGENIOUS Mel Brooks himself said "We couldn't make it today. We couldn't make it then, but we made it." Whenever I heard the old chestnut of "couldn't make it today" I am reminded of all the movies that apparently couldn't be made, yet were and continue to be made. People are idiots.
Fun fact: I believe this was the first film to have farting on screen. That’s why it is so heavily featured in the bean scene.
Randolph Scott was an actor who played in movies (Mostly westerns pretty much always as the good guy or hero but he also did some detective or horror films) from the late 20's to the mid 1950's. He was very popular in his day and, as far as I know, was the FIRST big "Western" cowboy action star.
I first saw him in that 1947 comedy Christmas Eve where he got caught up in a baby trafficking scheme.
He was John Wayne before John Wayne. 🙂
Tom Mix was a pretty BIG cowboy action star from the silent era.
@@Caseytify HE WAS! ALSO he was helluva lot better looking than John Wayne ever was in any dream he ever had OF HIMSELF! Randolph Scott is on the left, Cary Grant is on the right in this photo. They actually had a secret gay relationship which was a forbidden thing back then in Hollywood. Cary Grant wrote about it in his own book later in life. John Wayne looks like somebody beat him up with AN UGLY STICK compared to Randolph Scott. Huge rectangular head, weird shaped jaw AND you have a normal looking forehead...he had himself a big ole FIVE-HEAD on that cranium of himself. Compared to Randall Scott, trust me, even the younger photos of John Wayne...he just looks like he's a Mr Potato Head figure that's been put together wrong. He's just got very odd features for the shape of his face. It's like he's got a boxer's face but he never boxed, so there's really no excuse for the misalignment. Trust me on this one, JUST take it from somebody who has a little bit of damage to her face FROM when I used to box ok? #NewYorkGenXBikerLady

Check him out in Jesse James with Tyrone Powers and Henry Fonda. It's very good.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out, 56 now, and this was my first R rated movie. Nobody knew what to expect!! Within 15 minutes there where people falling out of the seats, including me, laughing and crying on the floor. I had a hell of a time getting back in the seat!!! This is the greatest comedy movie ever done!! Only Mel Brooks could have got this out and in the theater’s
The "Let's play chess" line kills me every time.
Sex, Frank?
Not right now, Ed, we have a case to solve.
I think “they said you was hung!” “Well they were right” is the funniest thing. It’s the kind of joke that takes you a half a second to get which I think makes it pay off even better.
Oh my God another joke I never caught in the dozens of times I've seen this movie 🤣
How do you skip "Excuse me while I whip this out"? One of the greatest lines in movie history
Exactly! How can anyone not react to that hilarious line?!
RIGHT??
Hahahahahhhahahahhah
Its a reaction, not the whole jammy. Shorter versions leave stuff out. In this case, there are no good carve outs. Entire thing is gold.
Madlin Kahn got an Oscar nomination for this, 'I'm Tired' is a classic.
The "And for my next impression - Jessie Owens" is one of my favourite jokes of all time
Yeah it's a great line! And hilarious! When I watch a lot of reactions to this though, it goes over a lot of reactor's heads. It's always a treat when someone does "get it" and laughs though!
This is a really great movie. You guys should check out more Mel Brooks's movies.
Young Frankenstien !!!!!!
Yes please
Yes and play the game. In every Mel Brooks movie there is a dig at Hitler. Find them. Some of them are obvious, some are very subtle.
History of The World Pt. II is a great movie to react to. Young Frankenstein is one of the funniest movies of all time. Can’t really go wrong with any Brooks movie.
Spaceballs too.
This is a classic for sure, but for my money Young Frankenstein is Mel Brooks' masterpiece (Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn are also in it).
Young Frankenstein is really Wilder's movie. He wrote it, and persuaded Brooks to direct. Brooks normally only directed movies he'd written himself. The humour is less direct than Brooks, and it's much more a homage to the three Frankenstein classics of the 30s.
When John Hillerman as Howard Johnson is rehearsing his speech, that Laurel & Hardy handshake line cracks me up every time.
How did I never notice that joke before.....
@@yehudahecht1520 It slips by a lot of folks, lol.
The name Howard Johnson was a joke.. he owned a hotel.
At the time Howard Johnson's was the biggest cheap motel chain in the country.. Like Motel 6 but actually kinda nice.
They had a restaurant at each hotel that was pretty good too
@@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace You just contradicted yourself, going from hotel to motel, but I'll just say that you meant hotel both times. LOL, I can remember when I thought Holiday Inn was a fancy hotel but then we seldom ever stayed in either as we had an RV for long trips and for weekends we just used a tent. This was back before those big air mattresses they have now and we just had those little blow up ones that went flat halfway through the night 😂😂
That line goes over the head of so many people.
Speaking of Richard Pryor, he has a writing credit in this movie 😂 He helped Mel Brooks (who was in the film as the Governor and the Chief) with the dialogue.
And IIRC, according to the making of featurette for the DVD, Richard agreed only if he wrote the lines for Mongo.
He was also supposed to be the sheriff but he wasn't a big enough actor at that point
@@jwn411 Not really. Richard Pryor was first choice but the studio said he was uninsurable because of his drug arrests
I have to agree with you both about modern comedy, they are scared of offending people, comedy is subjective and controversial, Mel Brooks pushed the boundary’s to show how absurd racism is. He’s a genius. Love the channel and much respect.
One absurdist comedy that's really funny is Start The Revolution Without Me starring Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland. It's crazy. It was fairly popular back in the day, but most reactors haven't heard of it; so it gets skipped in favor of things everyone else has done
I really miss stereotype humor.
💯
It's satire. No one has an issue with satire these days.
@@d3l3tes00n the problem with today is that so many people are so easily offended. They couldn't make a movie like Blazzing Saddles today because people wouldn't understand the satire behind what they perceive as offensive humor
I love this movie because it’s so unrelentingly insane. It makes me laugh no matter his many times I’ve seen it.
Richard Pryor (who was one of the script writers) was supposed to play the part of the Sheriff, but the studio wasn't willing to back him, because they didn't think he was reliable with his then drug use. He could have cost the studio millions, if he had to be fired during production.
Apparently, quite a lot of Mongo was shaped by the great Pryor.
Also, Pryor had just gotten literally kicked off the air at NBC. He had his own comedy sketch show and they fired him over a sketch.
@@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace The Richard Pryor show was in 1977, a few years after Blazing Saddles.
"That's the face of leadership." It is, actually. That's Mel Brooks, our director, writer, and producer, as the Gov, the Chief, and one of the bad guys on the evil job fair line.
I remember seeing this at the "drive in "with my parents and my brother. Mel Brooks movies always had a lot of raunchy undertones and my mother kept whispering to my dad "I'm so glad these scenes are flying over the kids heads" we were 11 and 12 and too busy laughing at the slapstick😂😂😂😂😂
That “we don’t want the Irish” bit is historically accurate as the Irish actually were victims of discrimination during the 19th century.
Best part, it was the Irish actor who delivered that line😉
They still are (socially). My grandpa used to verbally assault anybody he suspected of being of Irish descent
Mel Brooks is remarkable. WW2 vet, still working at age 95 (as of January 2022), just published a memoir, and is working on a new series for Hulu (a sequel to his 1981 History of the World Part 1).
My husband and I went to see this when it came out. My Dad and Stepmom were a couple of rows behind us. I could hear my Dad laughing so hard it made the movie even funnier.
Your reaction to "and cattle raped" had me howling with laughter. I knew the line was coming. You did not disappoint. 😅🤣😂
"Young Frankenstein!" " Spaceballs!" and "Robin Hood Men in Tights!" 3 must see Mel Brooks classics! Great reaction guys!
(AKA Chubby Rain!!!! Watched so many reactions till I got the origin story to Chubby Rain, haha!!) You guys are on my top 5 favorite movie reactors list, hands down!
To be or not to be and high anxiety are also good
Can't forget "History of the World: Part 1!" 🤗😁🤗😁🤗🤗😁👍
Mongo was played by Alex Karras, a former football player. His other credits include the evil sheriff in Porky's and the dad in the 80s sitcom Webster. Also, his dialogue was mostly written by Richard Pryor. Pryor was brought on to write for Bart, but he felt a kinship to Mongo.
Alex is from my hometown. He was a champion of women in sports, too
Pryor was brought in because he was supposed to play the sheriff but studio heads were scared with all his problems at the time drug use being the main one.
This movie is absolutely iconic, and a lot of reactors who do it, don't understand the comedy of it, and tend to bleep out the N word. I'm glad you guys let it fly, because the whole point of the movie is to show how dumb racism is.
And that's exactly why you would never be able to make a movie like this today because people just too uptight!!!
@@bernardsalvatore1929 yep
Absolutely , so frustrating and almost an insult to Mel Brooks.
If you do not understand or take the humor badly , then ignore watching the movie.
@@bernardsalvatore1929 No lol Satire is absolutely done today & this wasn't written by a group of white dudes which matters
I assume it's for monetization reasons they bleep them?
The scene with Lily Von Schtupp and Bart (written by Richard Pryor) ends with the line "It's true. It's true!!!" There was an additional line by Bart "I hate to disillusion you Ma'am but you're sucking on my arm." When Mel Brooks saw this he knew that the censors would never let it fly so he cut it.
The Golden days of movies ... 1,000 TIMES BETTER THAN MOST OF TODAY'S CRAP !
Yes!
And original
"beans and bread ... are they british?"
im not sure if im insulted or if im proud - all i know is im hungry now
Everything 'Mel Brooks' is great for old comedies. Go down that path. "Young Frankenstein" and "History of the World Pt. 1" are epic.
For newer comedies, I like Wes Anderson films. Not for everyone, but they are absurd and clever, both writing and direction. "Rushmore", "The Life Aquatic", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and "Isle of Dogs" are my favorites from him.
I also like half of Will Ferrell's films like "The Other Guys", "Stranger Than Fiction", "Anchorman", and "Step Brothers".
Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" is good too.
Every wes anderson movie feels the same to me- which bums me out bc I can see why ppl appreciate them but he just can never do it for me idk y 🤷🏻♂️
Even those are pretty old now. Time flies. I don't think, that there's been a good comedy movie in over a decade!
One aspect of this movie I don't think gets enough appreciation is that it does such a good job of making you love its heroes that the only way to make them getting a happy ending not seem unbearably sappy and maudlin is to take an atom bomb to the fourth wall.
You are the first reactors to include my favorite line in your YT cut: “Just think of your secretary…”
Young Frankenstein is one of gene wilder's best performances. He might be the greatest mad scientist in All of film.
Can you imagine watching this film in a theater house with 1100 others laughing their asses off?
I honestly wish I could have experienced that, seeing this in theaters must have be so fun
@@OctoKrool not so much fun with “octokrool” obliterating the playback screen every five seconds
I saw this when I was a kid, quite a while back, and the little absurdist details stuck with me afterwards so long and gave me so much joy, I've seen it a bunch of times and the fact he still has the popcorn after they re-enter the 'end of the film' never fails to make me laugh. Also, Absurdism shifts our view of the world and softens the blow of how sh*t it can be.
I first saw it when I was 8, my family was military and I understood the absurdity. My first crush at like 6-7 was a neighbor who was African American and Korean.
My favorite quote is when Gene is upside down and Clevon is like "Need any help?" and Gene comes back with my favorite "Oh, all I can get." lol
Literally several hundred viewings in, "Yes ... but I shoot with this hand!" still creases me up every single time.
Finally it happened; Blazing Saddles and the OctoKrool brothers came together. I'm only 8 minutes in and enjoying myself very much already.
Fun fact, the reason all movies say "No animals were harmed in the filming of this movie" was because of Mongo knocking out this horse.
Randolph Scott was one of Hollywood's most famous leading actors who acted from 1928 to 1962 making mostly westerns, but also other movies. He was strong, tough, and handsome -- "a man's man." Even before John Wayne, Randolph Scott was a seminal actor in Westerns and well respected by all. That is why they "took their hats off in reverence" to Randolph Scott in the movie.
I grew up on those movies back in the 1950's..
@@PapaEli-pz8ff Yes, so did I, I was born in 1950 and was a TV addict for B&W TV. It was mesmerizing. My parents could put me in front of the TV, take a weekend vacation, and I would be in the same spot they left me.
I’ve seen many reactor’s react to this movie and yours is by far the best. Your reaction is the kind a Mel Brooks movie deserves. The idiot henchman Lyle was having trouble with saying the derogatory words to Clevon Little and Clevon took him aside and told him it’s just words from a script and not his own words. He made him feel better about filming the scenes. Mel Brooks in a recent interview was asked if he’d be able to make this movie nowadays and his response was he couldn’t make it back then. The campfire scene with all the farts was the first time it was in a movie like this. When Mel was editing this scene and they were adding the farts he pulled anyone in that walked by the room to add some fart sounds.
Gee, 30,000 WTFs is hardly a brilliant reaction. No much else was said.
The "My grandmother was Dutch" line gets me every time
Blazing saddles is in my top 10 funniest movies. Definitely a classic. Mel Brooks is a genius
Three jokes in this movie that are often missed:
1. 'Fought Dix. It 's a pun on the US Army base Fort Dix.
2. 'Mongo! Santa Maria!' Pun on the name of Mongo Santamaria, a popular Cuban bandleader of the time.
3. YES/NO on Mongo's bull. American school buses used to have 'YES' and 'NO' painted on the left and right rear, respectively, to remind drivers what side of the bus was safe to pass it on.
Mongo was played by Alex Karras. He was on the Detroit Lions 58-62 and 64-70. He was also the father on the sitcom Webster.
This movie gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘hung like a horse’ 😂
This movie is so brilliant. And I think a lot of it rests on Cleavon Little's charisma. The fact that the studio wouldn't allow Richard Pryor to play Bart because he was considered a liability was a stroke of unbelievable luck.
The "firstborn male child" joke is a reference to Moses and the plagues of Egypt. Hence the "too Jewish."
My favorite joke is "For my next impression, Jesse Owens!" Jesse Owens was a black athlete (track and field) who competed in the Olympics in the 30s. Up against Germany, who at the time were on quite a eugenics and racial superiority kick, he utterly embarrassed all of them.
This movie almost needs a history, era, and culture lesson to get every joke and reference. So much funnier.
You need to check out “High Anxiety“ and “The Producers”. The governor is Mel Brooks, the writer and producer. Mongo is Alex Kerras an NFL football player. Mel Brooks co-wrote this with Richard Pryor. Brooks wrote the black lines and Pryor wrote the white parts.
One of the finest comedy films ever, from the genius that is Mel Brooks. You definitely need to check out his other films like Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, and Robin Hood Men in Tights.
It was hilarious because everybody in the movie played it so straight. Brilliant writing and directing by Mel Brooks. You don't need to do more of his films, you need to do ALL of his films!
The only joke that Mel took out was in the scene between Lily and Bart. When she asks if the rumors are true and says "It's twue, it's twue," Bart replied, Madame you're sucking on my arm. Or close to that.
Also the Jewish Hitler always gets me.
I think it was "you're sucking on my elbow"
"They lose me after the bunker scene".
A friend took me to this in 1974 to raise my spirits as I had a sore arm, laughed so hard my arm hurt for a week
Semi-recent comedy you will love: The Death of Stalin. Absolute genius from start to finish.
Also, while I'm recommending things, a classic '70s comedy that isn't as well known as it deserves today, yet is beyond brilliant: Murder By Death.
Death of Stalin is exceptional..... thanks for reminding me, as I couldn't think of many recent comedies I've seen either.
Murder by Death is absolutely amazing - and what a cast!!!!
@@peadarruane6582 Right? I had to struggle to think of anything, and that's already reaching back a fair number of years for "recent."
The Death of Stalin was an excellent movie…but it’s certainly not some sort of laugh-fest.
Murder By Death is a personal favorite! It does help though, if you're familiar with all the famous detectives they are parodying. A comedy classic!!
Howard Johnson's were the restaurant/truck stops along the highways back in the 60's (that's when I was a kid). They sold ice cream too.
Ah yes, Blazing Saddles came out in 1924 and it was just a few years later Al Jolson starred in the first ever talkie. Those were the days. lol
Yes this was a perfect example of a silent movie. Could almost hear the title cards!
@@erinesque1889 lol. They since charged the title of the video. In case you just watched, they had 1924 and not 1974 in the title last week.
How could you cut "pardon me while I whip this out."? Funniest line in the movie. Kudos for not bleeping the n word though. That kind of eviscerate the whole 70s vibe.
Yeah, that is one of the best lines! Maybe they had to cut it from the video to get it to post.
Remember that Richard Pryor helped write this movie.
Gene Wilder was actually in another Western comedy that you might enjoy.
It's called The Frisco Kid. He plays a young Rabbi from Europe who's been assigned his first congregation to a synagogue in San Francisco. But along the way he gets roped into a series of wild west adventures with an outlaw played by Harrison Ford
Hey guys! You get it! The jokes in this film were fast and furious! You've got to see Mel Brooks other movies including High Anxiety! I promise you'll love it!
The guy with the cigar playing the Governor is Mel Brooks.. he wrote the movie.. great comic genius.. he wrote “ The Producers”, and many great movies!! Love Grandma Debbie
Need to keep going with the Mel Brook’s films. Robin Men in Tights being my favorite.
My dad took me to the drive in to see this movie! he had a wicked sense of humor and that's where I got mine from and my son got it from me
Great reaction. Many of your generation seem to be simply offended. Nice to see you guys can see how the comic genius, Mel Brooks, pokes fun at the ignorance of racism and stereotyping. Good job!
I'm surprised nobody ever seems to get the 'Laurel, and Hardy' handshake' joke. Stan and Ollie's existence brought humour to a new level back in the day.
Top of comedy duos even to this day.....
Top reaction guys 🤣
The guy who plays Lyle (Burton Gilliam) was extremely uncomfortable with using the N word, to the point that Cleavon Little had to pull him aside and tell him it was ok and he understood Burton didn't mean anything by saying the word.
Yes and where was that from was that from a Mel Brooks interview?? I can't remember the source but I remember that story definitely!!
@C.B. Barlow actually, the interviewer said that the movie couldn't be made today. Mel replied, "It couldn't have been made back then either, but we made it anyway".
@@bernardsalvatore1929 -- yes. Gilliam also tells the story of going to Clevon's trailer the night before shooting began and said, "I don't think I can do this film." Clevon told him, "It's words on a page.. We're actors.. It's what we do. NOT who we ARE..."
Alot of the woke culture today wouldn't understand that this movie was making fun of racism. And at the end the white townfolk and black people worked together.
You still see people who want this movie banned because they want to memory hole a word
The best thing about this movie is it is so stupid, and so nonsensical, but still has a really strong emotional core. It somehow manages to get a genuine message across while Nazis are fighting cowboys in a dance studio, which is something most serious films can't get anywhere near.
The ending was a nod to the fact that big studios had several movies shooting at once. So they were fighting from one set to another.
Back when it was okay to be funny. Cracking film. The beans farting scene remains in my heart forever.
people in 1974 got it- the references were from 1930s-50s studio movies and adults from 70s knew them- Randolph Scott, etc (a 40-50s western star and Cary Grant's lover.)
The pinnacle of Gene Wilder movies is Young Frankenstein. Move that film to the top of your list.
This can easily be followed by Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood Men In Tights", which revisits a few jokes from here
"Look at that" (holds out hand)
"Steady as a rock"
"Yeah, but I shoot with this one"
Gets me every time. And when I saw this, I was too young to fully understand everything, and this was one of those films that you made sure Mom was nowhere nearby before you put it on. Then once I saw this again in college, the cringing started.
Ruthless People is the one I had to hide from my grandmother, who we lived with, Blazing Saddles she would put on for herself.
1924!? It's 1974!! Lol!! Jesus Christ! This movie is NOT 100 years old! Lol!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even if it was released in 1924, it still wouldn't be 100 years old.
I was just thinking wasnt the 1930's silent film?
I was like ummm that year seems a bit off 🤣
There would be no brothas in the movie if it was 1924…lol
May be for Copyright reasons
Well that's my night sorted! Thank you to the patreon members for voting this one through!!!
Richard Pryor co-wrote "Blazing Saddles", and was originally supposed to star in it, but the money people in Hollywood thought Pryor was too unstable and unpredictable. Pryor and Gene Wilder did co-star in "Silver Streak". "Stir Crazy", "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", and "Another You". I saw "Silver Streak" in the theater and really loved it.
Mel Brooks was a master at breaking the 4th wall. If you haven't watched it yet, watch Spaceballs. It's a parody of Star Wars. It helps if you have seen those first.
My time , I graduated H.S. in 1970 . Best Music's 60s & 70s Best Comedians Best Movies before censorship that might offend a few.
You guys have the perfect chemistry to react to this movie! So glad you posted this!
If you haven't already, check out 'What's Up Doc?' from 1972. Very funny movie. The reverend in 'Blazing Saddles' (Liam Dunn) is in it. He plays a judge, he's hilarious.
Young Frankenstein, History of the World Part I and Spaceballs are must see Mel Brooks classics 😂👍
My friends and I saw this in the theatre when it first came out. Our reactions were pretty much exactly like yours. Comedy knows no age.
I liked your reaction, it is a wild, crazy and funny movie, a guilty pleasure from my childhood, some of the more adult jokes went over my head back then. Not any more.
"It's such a fine line between clever and stupid." -- David St. Hubbins, _Spinal Tap_
LOL...the typo in the main title...1924 instead of 1974...that is on purpose to fool the copyright algorithms, yes? 😂😂😂
I am pretty sure you guys are gonna absolutely LOVE this move...I sure hope you do. 💯💯✌✌
The thing I love about Mel Brooks movies is just the plain silliness of them. His "History of the World Part I" and "Space Balls" are just two of many others that you HAVE to see. Enjoyed watching you guys!
"Young Frankenstein ", "History of the World Part I & II", are hilarious Mel Brooks films. 1982's "Tootsie" starring Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murrayis another funny film. You are right about the humor being stifled in recent comedy films. "My Man Godfrey" from the 1930's is comedy gold. Check out comedies starring Robert Redford, Dick, Powell, Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn.
The governor and the Indian in the flashback is Mel Brooks , the director of the film.
A different type of comedy that you really should watch is Victor/Victoria, a farce musical with impeccable timing, starring Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston, Leslie Anne Warren, and Alex Karas (who played Mongo here), and directed by Blake Edwards, who also directed the Pink Panther comedies.
Who did Alex Karas play in Victor/Victoria? I can’t place him
It's Mel Brooks. He will do and say anything in his movies. So funny. Richard Pryor was also part of this film script. He wrote many of the jokes.
Here's some comedies off the top of my head that you may find hilarious:
Analyze This
Gun Shy (2000)
Meet the Parents
Little Nicky
All About the Benjamin's
Th Ugly Truth
National Security
License to Wed
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Paul
Mr. Right
Any of these sound interesting? 😎
My favorite line is "Gentlemen, I'm afraid affairs of state must take precedence over affairs of state."
An old comedy film you twins will enjoy is The Party (1968) with Peter Sellers, directed by Blake Edwards.
