Yes, it is. Loved that movie. Loved Dangerfield. Also funny, but too obvious… “Hey Moose, Rocco! Help the judge find his checkbook, will ya?” I think I did the soup one previously. ---

So many funny lines in that movie. “You must have been something before electricity, huh?” Sorry. I’ll stop now. ---

If you are attributing the quote to _Young Frankenstein_ I suppose it is possible, but that is not the movie I was referencing. It is actually a movie that came out almost a decade later. `//i\\` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/challenge-us-with-a-non-famous-line-from-a-movie/962142.md?page=233) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/challenge-us-with-a-non-famous-line-from-a-movie/962142.md?page=235)
