Daddy love froggy! Froggy love daddy? Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears!.. That’s disgusting. And for anyone who hasDVD copy of Spaceballs, I have to recommend the whole Doll Scene, in Spanish.

Two scenes in _Blazing Saddles_. After being “welcomed” by the citizens of Rock Ridge, Bart takes himself hostage and, holding a gun to his own head, forces himself into the sheriff’s office. “Won’t somebody help that poor man?” When Bart is telling Jim how he came to be out west, with Mel Brooks playing the Indian chief. After several lines of dialogue in Yiddish he says in English “They’re darker than us!” ---

“The code is…1” “1!” “1!!” “…2” “2!” “2!!” “…3” “3!” “3!!” “…4” “4!” “4!!” “…5” “5!” “5!!” “One two three four five? That’s like something an idiot would put on his luggage.” “Ah, Mr. President, we found the code.” “Really, what is it?” “1 2 3 4 5” “1 2 3 4 5? I have that on my luggage!” Gets me every time. ---

I don’t know if Mel Brooks was involved in the _Get Smart_ revival starring Andy Dick, but if he was… “Hello, Mrs. Smart.” “Oh, please. You make me feel like a hundred. Call me 99.” ---

What’s the matter Col. Sanders, CHICKEN??? I’m the bearded lady. Who are you, one of the freaks??? I heard a voice behind me say, REACH FOR EM MISTER!! I spun around, and I was face to face with a 6 year old kid. Well I just threw down my guns and walked away…THE LITTLE BASTARD SHOT ME IN THE ASS!!! What the hell was that?? That was my virgin alarm. It’s programmed to go off before you do. “In other words he hands, his body, his veins would all have to be increased in size.” “Yes, exactly.” “He’d have an enormous vahmshteucker!” _pause_ “Well that goes without saying.” “WOOF!” Also for those who don’t know, in Young Frankenstein, Bleuker, or however it’s spelled, is German for glue. LOL 🙂 ---

flup! I just watched the doll scene in spanish, hehe, thanks for the suggestion 🙂 no, no, si! no, no, si! ah, ah, ah, ooh-ahh-ooh. My favorites are (all Spaceballs) 1)The first shot of Princess Vespa in space when she’s wearing headphones that make her look like Princess Leia, 1. The dueling scene at the end when they crash into the camera crew “uh… He did it!” and 2. (cracks me up every time) - “They must have hyperjets on that thing” “And what have we got on this thing, a Cuisinart?” ---

Dr. Froederick Frankenstein: No, it’s pronounced “Fronkensteen.” Igor: Do you also say “Froaderick”? Dr. Froederick Frankenstein: No… “Frederick.” Igor: Well, why isn’t it “Froaderick Fronkensteen”? Dr. Froederick Frankenstein: It isn’t; it’s “Frederick Fronensteen.” Igor: I see. Dr. Froederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
