It’s been years since I last saw the movie, but I’ll have to go with the pledge to Hedley Lamarr and the evil for which he stands.
“Harrumph!”
“You watch your ass…”
According to an article on Cracked.com - admittedly, not perhaps the most reputable of sources - Clevon Little didn’t know that line was coming; his laughter was not feigned. And mhendo is right, it’s a fantastic line.
Truly, the whole movie is a comic gold mine. For some reason, Mel Brooks as the Yiddish Native American chief telling the “schwatzers” to “cop a valk” always gets me, as does Burton Gilliam telling the railroad workers “Yew’re lollygaggin’ round like it’s a hunnert and twenny degrees. It cain’t be more than a hunnert and four-teen!”
It was funny at the time. The idea of a straight, solemn bunch of movie townspeople appending “shit” to the end of a conventional prayer, in unison, without cracking up or acting self-conscious was pretty radical for the time.
“What’s a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this?”
When Von Schtupp’s stage burlesque transitions into broadway-style dancing with Prussian soldiers, I always lose it. “Can’t you see she’s pooped?”
You and me both. I still use this line, because it works in so many applications.
Pfft!
Qadgop Johnson’s right about Howard Johnson being right!
Son, you’re on your own!
“Right down to the orange roof on Howard Johnson’s outhouse.” n
As has already been said, the whole movie is a string of great lines and scenes. If I had to choose it would be the bean eating scene, with Mongo to follow.
But all of Madeline Kahn is good. * “He’s like wet sauerkraut in my hands. By morning he will be my slave!”*
Quoth kunilou:
A lot of people think farts are inherently funny. I disagree. Like so many other things, they’re funny if done right. Of which the Blazing Saddles scene is the absolute epitome.
Of course, you’ll have the good taste not to mention this thread to anyone else.
Throw out your hands
Stick out your tush
Hands on your hips
Give them a push
cut!!!
Wrong!!!
Ma’am, that’s my arm.
<wanders into thread, looks around>
What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-going on here?
“De Camp Town Ladies…”
Howard Johnson’s ice cream store: 1 flavor
It was the fart scene and you all know it.
I was so hoping I could be first to mention this.
