“Yeah, but I shoot with this hand…”
I nearly peed my pants at that when I saw the movie as a kid. Also…
“Gimme the playback!!!” (and in time with the music) “Watch! Me! Faggots!”
“you use your tongue prettier than a 20 dollar whore”
“…Heddy. …Thats Hedley”
Can we have some more beans, Mr Taggert?" “I think you’all have had enough”
IMO, there is a fewer percentage of throwaway lines in Blazing Saddles than any other movie. Most every line in the movie memorable to somebody.
“Candygram for Mongo!”
“Naw, Mongo straight!”
"“Tell them I said…'Ow!” Got it Mr. Taggert.
“Bart, you shifty n****r, they said you was hung!”
“And they was right, Charlie.”
“Can’t you see that man’s a ni…”
“Hehe…c’mere”
“Can’t you see that man’s a ni?”
“You will of course, have the decency not to mention I spoke to you?”
“He hit Buddy! Get him girls!”
As far as I am concerned, the whole damn movie is comedy gold. I first saw it as a teenager on VHS, and it just gets better every time I watch it.
“Have you got that?”
“Yethsssss.”
“Sounds like steam escaping.”
As Floater mentioned in post #40:
From memory, so probably way off:
Who’s Mongo?
Well, Mongo isn’t so much a who as a what.
(Bart straps on gunbelt)
Oh, no. You don’t want to go shooting Mongo, you’ll just make him mad.
After Bart does something heroic she brings a pie to the jail window.
“sorry about the ‘Up yours, Nigger.’”
(comes back)
“You won’t tell anyone about the pie, will you?”
Bart: “I am your host and you are my guest. what is it you like to do?”
Jim: “I dunno. Play chess…screw”
Bart: “Why don’t we play chess?”
"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."

Nobody moves, or the nigger gets it!
I’m not used to public speaking…
Ahem
WE, THE WHITE GOD FEARING CITIZENS OF ROCKRIDGE…
Farting and punching horses will never go out of style. Sex also won’t go out of style. The Hedy Lamar jokes and Yiddish-speaking Indians already need explanation. There’s enough visual humor that the movie will always be funny, but a lot of the dialog and punchlines will be met with a big “Huh?”
It’s entirelyt possible in 100 years that Alex Karras and Madeline Kahn will be celebrated for their performances, while Wilder, Little and Korman are largely overlooked.
My FIL and MIL took us this summer to a timeshare in TN where we all had to go see a community theater production of “Oklahoma”. I was mildly amused watching the leading man munch on all the scenery, until he kills Jude and the sheriff is summoned. A black guy strutted on stage, and I immediately turned to my oldest daughter and her fiance (who share my dark and twisted humor) and whispered, “The sheriff is a NI --” We giggled ourselves senseless, and my husband glared at me. He’s never seen Blazing Saddles. sigh.
“Where’s Froggy?”
“Where’s Froggy?!”
That’s NOT Froggy!
As a minor note, I first saw the movie on TV and the townspeople’s hymn ended, more or less:
… and the final word was obscured by a loud moo. Later on when I saw the original unedited version, with the predictable ending, it didn’t seem nearly as funny.
Howard Johnson’s right!
“I’m leaving.”
