True x,D

If there's a song worth making a movie around, this is up there at the top though. Mel Brooks really is a comic genius - a real one of a kind.

NO REGRETS!

😋✌️ I like this comment

Omg it's 1am and I shouldn't be laughing but I can't stop laughing XD

It would be far better than whatever ended up there the last years ^^

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this made my day

Too bad they dont really have a sense of humor like that.

Omg

Mel Brooks later repeated that line in the Hitler Rap.

Well, that's Mel Brooks doing the voice over.

schtoopitt.

@@idontknow164 it is my understanding that most English versions of this show use a recording of Mel Brooks for that line

Every time

In the original source material, there was a beatnik onstage as Hitler being the beatnik he is, and it tickled everyone's funny bone. The onstage version and the movie from which this footage originated, a director demonstrating exaggerated homosexuality goes onstage being the exaggerated gay man HE is and THAT tickled everyone's funny bone.

Honestly like most of Fox News as far as I’m concerned

“Where did we go right?l” 😂

Best TL;DR

I love watching it at face value

My review of the Postal Series, except Postal III, which can still fuck right off.

@@Morningstar91939 same

That was the review that Peter Sellers did back in 1967 about the original movie. Fun fact: Mel Brooks originally offered the part that went to Gene Wilder, but Sellers turned it down. Sellers later regret that decision.

@@gabrielcoronado6395 just like Sir Patrick Stewart declined the role of Jafar in Aladdin and later regretted it.

We're opening at the Sabat Theatre in Warsaw

Great Britain: Wait. That's illegal.

I can think of a few reasons why that wouldn't end well lmao

@@thealvabro1852 it is about as provocative as a Family Guy sketch. I think that if you kept it in the same style, it could work out quite well. The ending would just be making references to the "downfall meme" era. Obviously you would have to tread lightly around the Holocaust but the rest of the musical would be a great way to make fun of the shoddy theatricality and idiocy of authoritarianism.

This song is way more of a banger than many full musicals can muster. It would be almost impossible for a full scale musical to live up to it.

I've always wondered if Mel Brooks ever wrote the whole musical, any of the history of the world part one previews for part 2 as well.

Only Mel Brooks is allowed to make it

I see what you've done there

The limp wrist nazi salute is what got me 😭😭

Exactly!!!

From what I know, the movie is about some guys who made a play, but for some reason they messed up something to do with money or something, so they decided to do everything to ruin the play. What I’m trying to say is I don’t think they were expecting this, that is, I don’t think they bought tickets for this, rather they were expecting a completely different show.

Nevermind i looked it up. What happened is they are trying to fail the musical because by overselling shares, they can get more money by making people think it failed

And weirdly enough is based on something on a nazi propaganda video

They Nazis really did this during some of their celebrations. People dancing and marching in the shape of a swastika.

The swastika scene, and the frogmarching afterwards is breathtaking, better done here than the original film or any stage performance

Mel Brooks is a parody genius but you have to understand his humor. My wife and I saw The Producers on Broadway and she hated it.

@@mitchellpak2795 It´s one of my favourite movies and still I hate that it´s a musical. No friends would watch it with me, and I get a little cringe about the other songs in the movie. I would loved it more if it was a regular movie without songs on it, and then the masterpiece of this scene

Yes. The difference being in the original Mel Brooks film, the two numbers of the actual show were the only musical performances in it. The Broadway production, and this film based on the production, was a musical in its entirety. A musical about a musical.

@@waterdamnaged This is getting out of hand.

Affirmative

@@waterdamnaged moo6 iza 'mame'?

@@waterdamnaged well a musical based on a musical gag at the end of a gag movie lol

Mel is a genius and a national treasure.

During the war Mel Brooks used to set up PA systems to broadcast American music, etc., over the lines to the Germans... as an American Jew. Guts AND a great sense of humor!

If anything it was better to do it then than now, I saw a news article a few years back saying it was racist to have nazi flags on display when they were making a film

Also a smart one in that he got Nathan Lane and Mathew Broderick to reprise their roles from the broadway show. Something that is very rarely done for film adaptations.

@@michaelnally2841 It helps that those two were are already famous actors, it's a no brainer. Unless this came out before they got famous.

Honestly half way through this I was just thinking what the hell do Germans think about us making shit like this? 😂😂 it’s got to feel very weird.

Junk - don't be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join Mel Brooks' party!! 🎉 (All are welcome)!!

The sad thing is that's far more accurate today than it was way back when the original 1967 film premiered.

He looks so happy when he sings “Winter for Poland and France.” 😂

When they sang, "Hitler is happy and gay," they sure meant it. This must have been before they rebooted Doctor Who. I never recognized Barrowman the first time I saw this.

FUCK YEEEESSSSSS

I think Jojo rabbit has the benefit of being produced by the Jewish Sacha Baron Cohen. So nobody has any excuse to complain that it's "offensive"

@@mrttripz3236 Taika is also Jewish as was Mel Brooks and most people involved with the producers, so your argument is hard to make for this movie especially since we don't have anything to which compare.

Doesn’t South Park do stuff like this with Hitler?

I mean jojo rabbit was kind of a romcom in a sense anywayd

@@cammy649 It may have been a romcom, but it was hella heavy at some moments. We certainly do need more movies like JoJo and the Producers to keep making fun of the nazis.

Caroline Lansdown Training for Broadway, Malfoy?

Became a nazi " pure bloods"

He was on The Flash TV show for awhile.

What? Read another damn book.

Or this is what captain Jack Harkness from Dr who does in his spare time

I've been wondering about that. Roger is the director and would had to have pretty much played the role as he directed it. Otherwise the rest of the cast would not have known what was going on. Franz, being nuts, probably didn't understand what he was doing while performing during rehearsals but watching from the audience, with the rest of the audience laughing, realized that the audience was perceiving the show as a satire and that Hitler was being mocked, not celebrated. There's also the fact that the full name of the play was "Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolph and Eva at Berchtesgaden". The song "Heil Myself" with the line "I'm the German Ethel Merman Dontcha Know" was either written by Franz or would have been performed by him during rehearsals. The mistake that Max and Leo made was hiring Roger de Bris to direct and encouraging him to 'gay it up'. To borrow, and mangle, a phrase from Shakespeare, they were hoist by their own petard. Even if Franz had gone on, the result would have been the same. We just would not have had the pleasure of watching Gary Beach ham it up to the rafters.

I don't think you understood that scene 😁

​​@@jeperstone I don't think you understood my comment. I'm certain I don't understand yours.

​@@jesusnthedaisychain1¹❤e2

It’s almost like a cult-Trump 2.0 the way Hitler says, “meeeeeee” and everyone in the audience is suddenly on board with the paradigm. Disgustingly ridiculous but entertainingly transparent if you know the actual intentions of the Nazis while they are presenting a pristine portrait of themselves.

even if not, this play clearly glorifies the Nazis as a absurdism, its clearly a joke. people just overly sensitive.

That’s the internet for you

Well, it isn't intended to be satire in the story of the film, it's just the interpretation of the audience. So it's kind of funny that real audiences would do the exact opposite.

What's interesting the original film was met with a similar reaction upon realise Mel Brooks got so many calls from rabbis some he actually knew to complain about the film and the original screenplay was turned down by so many studious until one head of a studio saw what Mel was doing and his original intention and thought it was hilarious. It wasn't until some praises like Peter Sellers who bought a two page ad praising the film that people started to go and see it and those who have started to get the message that Mel Brooks was trying to deliver. Similar thing happened to Blazing Saddles studio execs only knew Mel Brooks was making a western and when they saw the film they wanted it gone but Mel convinced them to have a test screening that went amazingly well and so the execs put it into theatres.

@@Snozzberry_Slush Well, Mel went on to win an Oscar and create a Tony award winning Musical. This happened with Jojo Rabbit. They criticized it in the small manner as The Producers without realizing Taika is a Jew who was using comedy to mock Nazis as demonizing them would just mean Nazis are good. Lindsay Ellis did a whole piece on The Producers. Today's Nazis like gangsta and demonic roles like American History X and Schindler's List but hate films where they're mocked like The Producers and Jojo Rabbit.

That's Mel Brooks for you. The best way to fight against hatred and bigotry, be it racism like in Blazing Saddles or the Nazis here is to mock the ever-living shit out of the entire concept.

Eduardo Zamarron Let me guess to point and laugh at Max once again

Idk, but maybe they thought it was going to be about German hubris and epic fail. Fwiw, the political meaning of *spring* or *springtime* began in the 1800's to described revolutions of hope in Europe. *Spring of Nations* or *Springtime of the Peoples* implied an emotional zeitgeist that created social upheaval with supposedly positive outcomes. A recent example (2010) is the Arab or Muslim *Spring* in the Middle East. All of this was still known when Mel Brooks wrote the play in the 1960's.

Watch the movie lmao

waterdamnaged what are you talking about they are very accurate.
