I love that line. Monty Python has some AMAZING throwaway lines.
Mel Brooks is great with them, too. Here are some of my favorite Mel Brooks one-liners.
From History of the World Part One
Oedipus: [walking around collecting donations] Give to Oedipus! Give to Oedipus! Hey, Josephus!
Josephus: Hey, motherf**ker!
Josephus: Not to worry, not to worry… we are now armed with mighty joint!
Count de Monet: Don’t get saucy with me, Bearnaise!
From Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Ahchoo: Hey, Blinkin!
Blinkin: Did you say “Abe Lincoln”?
Prince John: Tell everyone that when the day is out we shall have a wedding. Or a hanging. Either way, we’re gonna have a lot of fun, huh?
Robin Hood: I lost. I lost? Wait a second, I’m not supposed to lose. Let me see the script.
From Spaceballs
[upon going into “ludicrous speed”]
Dark Helmet: My brains are going into my feet!
Prison Guard 1: Hey! Those are the guys that stole our uniforms!
Prison Guard 2: They beat the shit out of us too!
Dot Matrix: Hey wait, you forgot to get married!
The Producers (1968)
Franz Liebkind: I am the author. You are the audience. I outrank you!
Leo Bloom: I’m in pain and I’m wet and I’m still hysterical!
The Producers (2005)
Ulla: [nervously] Okey-dokey… you like it?
Max Bialystock: Lik-, like it? I want you to know, my dear, that even though we are sitting down, we are giving you a standing ovation.
Leo Bloom: Mr. Bialystock, I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for someone with a spine.
Blazing Saddles
[Recalling his gunfighting career]
Jim: I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille.
Lili Von Shtupp: [singing] I’ve been with thousands of men/again and again/they promise the moon/they’re always coming and going and going and coming… and always too soon.
Hedley Lamarr: Gentlemen, please rest your sphincters.
Young Frankenstein
Igor: Wait Master, it might be dangerous… you go first.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: HE’S GOT A ROTTEN BRAIN! IT’S ROTTEN, I TELL YA! ROTTEN!
