LMFAO!!! That movie is classic… a true classic. I think one of Mel’s better films. I saw a special on the making of it, which was intensely funny unto itself. By that time only Marty Feldman had died
but now Madelyn Kahn (sp?) has passed too
. I’ve always like her (see Clue). I enjoy it when a director keeps the same group of actors and such around him. It makes it more of a family effort (i.e., Monty Python-more of a troup than a group but still!, Silent Bob- can’t think of his real name). Just putting in my two cents, like anyone cares :mad: ! THHHHPPPHHHHT!
:Gun to own head:
“Anybody moves, and the nigger gets it.”
[highpitchedvoice] “HELP ME! HELP ME!!”[/highpitchedvoice]
:hand over own mouth:
“SHUT UP BITCH!”
I like the part where Eyegor deliberately says “BLUCHER!” just to mess with the horses.
I must see this movie… again. I think we faux pas’d (“girlfriend”). Shame on us, plnnr. We need to be whipped or drawn and quartered.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…”
(sorry)
To blave.
“Class…dismisssed…”
I can’t really quote the part that made me laugh the hardest first time around…but the sight gags of the blind monk/Gene Hackman and Frankenstein had me laughing to the point of tears and beyond.
BTW…
My horse racing trainer friend was telling me about an owner who chose odd names for his horses. One they didn’t understand at first was “Abby’s Not Normal.” I totally busted up when they said that and explained the Young Frankenstein reference. (They also said he had a horse named “Flaming Moe,” which also made me chuckle. Had to explain the Simpsons reference…) So watch for that filly out here in the SoCal circuit–she’s actually been doing pretty well for herself!
And did anyone catch the inside-humor of the Halloween episode of Everyone Loves Raymond? I mean, what ELSE would Peter be but Frankenstein’s monster…
Might as well make the rounds:
“You must be the piss boy!”
“And you look like a bucket of shit!”
Don’t get saucy with me, Bernaise.
“It’s good to be the king”
Oedipus: Josephus!
<holds out one hand>
Josephus: Hey, motherfucker.
<gives him a low five, keeps walking>
I watched that movie countless times, for years, before the “Oedipus” reference finally registered on my conscious brain. And then I nearly wet m’self.
What I love about Mel Brooks movies is how you can finally catch a joke, no matter how many times you’ve seen the movies…
Raspberry. There’s only one man who would dare give me the raspberry! Lone Star!
“She’s gone from Suck to Blow!”
“LUDICROUS SPEED!”
“Sir, I’ve lost the sweeps, the bleeps, and the creeps!”
“What the matter, Col. Sandurz? CHICKEN?!?”
“Mongo! Santa Maria!!”
Almost nobody gets this one.
“Mongo is just pawn in great game of life.”
“I hate it when I get my Schwartz twisted!”
I’m not almost nobody. I don’t get it. 
Mongo Santamaria was a jazz performer. I think he just died within the past year or so.
I didn’t get that one for a long time either. And yes, Santamaria died in February.
