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

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.

"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 😂😂

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.

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.

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.

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 images.app.goo.gl/GSovDGZLMJAaYWBt5

Check him out in Jesse James with Tyrone Powers and Henry Fonda. It's very good.

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.

Oh my God another joke I never caught in the dozens of times I've seen this movie 🤣

Sex, Frank? Not right now, Ed, we have a case to solve.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

Yeah, that is one of the best lines! Maybe they had to cut it from the video to get it to post.

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?

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

To be or not to be and high anxiety are also good

Can't forget "History of the World: Part 1!" 🤗😁🤗😁🤗🤗😁👍

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 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.

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

Gee, 30,000 WTFs is hardly a brilliant reaction. No much else was said.

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

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.

@@rmnffx there is so many other zany things so they might have missed it

I think it was "you're sucking on my elbow"

"They lose me after the bunker scene".

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!

This movie almost needs a history, era, and culture lesson to get every joke and reference. So much funnier.

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!!

Yes!

And original

Who did Alex Karas play in Victor/Victoria? I can’t place him
