"Candy-Gram for Mongo........."

Aw shucks, you guys, Mongo STRAIGHT!

“What’s that you’ve got in your mouth?!”

“Nuthin’”

“Oh yeah?”

“Chewing gum on line, ay?! Well, I hope you brought enough for everyone!”

“I I didn’t know!”

BANG! Thud!

“man, he’s strict!

The only thing I could think of when reading the thread title was Rush’s “Anagram for Mongo”. It appears to be a movie though. Oh well :wink:

Sorry, Coldy. This is one of the funniest movies of all time. “Blazing Saddles” by Mel Brooks. I could watch it every week. It’s kind of a musical parody of a old west cowboy movie.

'Tis unknown to me, but I shall try and rent it someday soon. Mel Brooks is usually pretty good fun.

Coldy, ANYTHING Mel Brooks does is funny; Some are just funnier than others!

“Shut up, you Teutonic Twat!” slap

“…dancin’ around like a Kansas City faggot!”

“There, there, it’s just a man hanging a horse.”

Madeline Kahn, dressed in her merry widow and garters, crooning, “I’m tired!”, with the immortal line, “I’m not a wabbit!”

“What’s a dazzling urbanite like yourself doing in our little town?”

“What do you like to do?”
“Oh…play chess…screw…”
“Let’s play chess.” {said hastily}

Confession:
I never saw the movie, even though it came out when I was a teen. For some unfathomable reason, I never got a chance to see it, even though it’s been on TV (HBO?). Something always came up.

So, yesterday I rent the DVD, and watched it last night. Great movie.

Today, I see this post. How did you guys know I’d just seen the movie? Do I need to invest in an aluminum foil hat?

“Awright, nobody move or I’ll shoot the n-----!”

Blazing Saddles and Young FRankenstein are tied for the two funniest movies ever made IMO. Mel collaborated with some geniuses of comedy for those and sadly never did anything nearly as good after that. They were also some of the first DVDs I ever bought. Now if Paramount would only wise up and release The Godfather and The Godfather Part II (they can keep III) on DVD. At least they’re in print on VHS again but it’s not the same.

But where would I find such a man? Why am I asking you?

Alright, we’ll take the Niggers and the Chinks, but we don’t want the Irish! (I’m Irish and find this hilarious)

(Gov. trying to replace fountain pen in its holder)
Help me in with this, help me in with this.
Think of your secretary.

Why do I always get a warped one?!

What in the wide wide world of sports is a-goin’ on here? I hired you boys to lay some track, not jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!

(Madeline receiving a bunch of flowers) Oh, how ordinawy.

Come to think of it, why don’t I just recite the whole movie for you? (Sings) He rode a Blazing Saddle . . .

Mongo not nice to horses…

But he has that certain aura about him…

Man, I’m old - I remember him with the Lions…

“They lose me after the bunker scene.”

“Let’s get em, girls!”

“Spanish balloons?”

“They said you was hung.”

“And they were right.”

It’s been a while, so please excuse me if I paraphrase.

Going through the motions at my mindless job I frequently recall the governor (MB) signing his name to who knows what.
“Work, work, work. How ya doin, boys? (the last spoken to his secretary’s cleavage).”

And how did it go?
“Mongo just a pawn in the chess game of life.”

“My name is HEDLEY…”
