Some lines were just made for Slim Pickens. Can’t find the exact quote from “Electric Horseman” but it went something like this:
“I’m going to Reno to get me one of them hookers who can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.”

You know what Pharmboy, I think it’s people hanging on to their fond memories of it as a kid. When I saw Mel Brooks movies as a 12 year-old I thought they were the funniest, most brilliant, taboo movies I ever saw. Fart jokes, dirty words, sex jokes, etc. We would constanly quote them in grade school.
Watching them now I find them unfunny and wonder how adults ever found them to be funny. They almost seem like they were written for grade school boys.

Yes. Young Frankenstein is the only one I can still stand to watch. I was 12 or so for History of the World and thought it was amazing, but by the time Space Balls rolled along I just didn’t get it. Monty Python is still funny, Brooks just seems sad now. I never did understand Blazing Saddles tho.

Kind of like the Star Wars phenomena. People don’t like to admit to themselves that Star Wars to an adult is actually a pretty crappy movie since they loved it to death when they were seven.

The two best Mel Brooks films are “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles”, and in both cases he had strong co-writers - Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Each brought something unique to the film, and (I believe) restrained Brooks’ tendency to play the tummler. I love both, but I don’t have to be the slightest bit embarrassed by my love of “Young Frankenstein”.
It’s a great movie, and did something only great satire can accomplish - revealing a deep truth about the original; why would a man need to create life? Because he wanted to be a mother. “This is a good boy! This is a mother’s angel!”
These are the kind of non sequiturs that can derail a thread. We’ve gotta protect our phoney-baloney jobs, gentlemen, we must do something about this immediately!
Sheriff Bart: “Are we awake?”
Waco Kid: “We’re not sure. Are we…black?”
Sheriff Bart: “Yes, we are.”
Waco Kid: “Then we’re awake, but we’re very puzzled.”
Reverend Johnson: Order, order. Goddamnit, I said “order”.
**Howard Johnson: **Y’know, Nietzsche says: “Out of chaos comes order.”

Too bad it was said by Willie Nelson.

I thought Space Balls was sort of hit-and-miss. I did, however, roll off my chair at the Alien/Michigan J. Frog bit at the end. That just caught me completely by surprise.

Without Richard Pryor, we never would have had Mongo.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
One other gag for you to expalin. What is the joke in the portait in Heddley’s office of the bride and groom facing backwards?
