Favorite "Blazing Saddles" scene/line

I salute you, ma’am, for the most appropriate quoting of a film that I have had the honor to vicariously witness.

Had I been there, I would have had to leave. I would have giggled for the rest of the night. I’m going to be giggling for about an hour as it is.

Blazing Saddles- The French Mistake

The sheriff is a nig-DING!

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are so great. I really should get around to seeing The Producers. But the former two have aged great; I loved them when I was 8 (ca. 1989) and I’ve seen them both recently and they hold up great.

I also still laugh like a madman when Mongo decks the horse.

And, “Ah, Mongo straight!” ain’t bad. :slight_smile:

Wasn’t that line cut?

According to IMDB the line, which WAS cut from the film, was “You’re sucking on my elbow.”

But it was in the book.

I never saw The Producers until a few years ago, and was in love with it in about two minutes. Zero Mostel is priceless, the premise is golden, and the execution is wonderful. I’d have a hard time picking a favorite among The Producers, Young Fronkensteen and Blazing Saddles.

Quoth GameHat:

I’d actually say that Young Frankenstein is even better than Blazing Saddles. Which is pretty high praise.

O it’s a time of great decision
Are we to stay or up and quit?
There’s no avoiding this conclusion
Our town is turning into shit

My favorite scene is the fart scene…only because it makes hub giggle like a schoolboy every. single. time.

When the bad guys come riding up to the toll booth, something like “What’s that asshole up to now?”.

Had to go to imdb to see who Alex Karras was, the actor’s name isn’t a name I know . . .

. . . Oh, he played Mongo. Yes, he was awesome . . .

. . . HOLY GODDAMN CRAP!!!
Mongo was Webster’s Dad!?!?!?!?

Bear with me for a moment… last fall, the flodfamily was on vacation in the Netherlands, and we visited Madurodam. This is a sweet little tourist trap, a miniature city featuring buildings and such from all over the country, and in various places there are things that move if you put a coin in a box. Almost all of them require a ten (euro)cent piece. When we came to the first one we wanted to try, we discovered that I was the only one who had any change at all, and all I had was a two-euro coin. But we had passed a change machine…

Yep. I actually got to say “Somebody’s got to go back and get a shitload of dimes!” in real life :smiley:

Did it lose anything in the translation to Dutch?

According to Google: “Iemand moet om terug te gaan en een shitload van dubbeltjes te krijgen!”

But what is it in Norskie?

I came back to post that one – what kills me is the low five between Bart and Basie. So cool.

That’s what happens when you’re only pawn in game of life.

Fess up anyone – ever used that … effeminate … lassoing action Burton Gilliam does while dancing around? You know, as a joke.
