I know this story is a few months old, but I just ran across it. Quite amusing.

That's funny. Reminds me of a Dave Chapelle show episode.

I love it when people quote the classics.

Reminds me of a Jerry Springer episode.

Those who advocate racial supremacy are the strongest arguments against such.

Yeah, several years ago from cancer. Sad

Poor Gene Wilder. He lost the love of his life and then one of his closest friends to cancer.

Oh yeah. The only other Mel Brooks movie I could say I like more is Young Frankenstein, and it's more of a tossup between the two.

It really is my favorite comedy ever, and I watch it at least three times a year.

Taggart: I got it.
Hedley Lamarr: What?
Taggart: Let's kill every first born male child in Rock Ridge.
Hedley Lamarr: Nah, too Jewish.

If you haven't seen the new 30th Anniversary edition I highly recommend it. The extras are very much worth the purchase price.

Mel Brooks, in a Playboy interview years ago, said that the censors cut the Lilly von Schtup and Sheriff Bart scene.

After saying "Is trooo, is trooo!," Bart was supposed to say "Baby, you're sucking on my arm."

I own Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

I fully intend to purchase High Anxiety (very UNDER rated, as far as I'm concerned), History of the World, and the Producers in the near future.

Blazing Saddles ranks right up there with Duck Soup and a Night at the Opera as the funniest movies ever made.

Might I suggest the new Mel Brooks Collection DVD set?

One box set with the following movies:

Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Silent Movie
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
To Be or Not to Be
History of the World, Part 1
The Twelve Chairs
High Anxiety

I still need to buy the 1968 version of The Producers. I have the new version already. They're both quite good.

Blazing Saddles is actually one of the films I use to decide if someone's a person I want around: if they can't laugh at it, I figure they're WAY too serious...

My two, no THREE, my THREE favorite lines:

A: "Nobody move or the *let's not go there* get's it!"

B: "Oh, and sheriff, sorry about the "Up yours, *let's not go there*."

C: AW, Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes!!"

There's a lot more funny stuff going on in both YF and Blazing Saddles if you know just a bit of Yiddish.

I used to work at a movie theatre as an usher when YF first came out. I saw it 132 times IIRC. Us ushers used to stand in the back and recite the script line for line. Next time you watch it count the bell tolls right at the beginning, The clock says 12:00 but the bell tolls 13 times.

I saw it the first week it came out, I remember thinking that no other movie could make me laugh so much....

What difference does color make if you're wearing a sheet anyway?

You Americans are so unimaginative.

Do a search for Jackie ArklÃ¶v, Swedish neo-nazi leader figure. Half Swedish, half Liberian (yes, black African Liberian).

Or Jack van Tongeren, Australian neo-nazi imprisoned for firebombing businesses owned by Asians. Himself half Indonesian.

Oops. My apologies. Please disregard the unimaginative comment above. Almost forgot Leo Vincelette Felton. All American white supremacist. Black father, Jewish mother...

Aw, I dunno about unimaginative. Years ago I was watching a KKK parade. In my best parade ground voice I commented, "Look! Form-fitting hats!"

Laughter from the onlookers, nuthin' from the KooKooKooks.
