Blazing Saddles is a comedy classic, but must be seen. The visuals along with the script are perfect.
One scene that comes to mind is the campfire scene, when the workers are eating beans…
The guys are squeezing farts out for about 4 minutes, and then Taggert comes up
More beans, Mr. Taggert?
I think you boys have had enough!
The best sight gag from Blazing Saddles (to me, anyway).
[Lamarr’s posse rides up on Bart’s diversion: a single tollbooth in the middle of the desert]
Taggart: “LePetomaine Freeway”? Aw, what’ll that asshole think of next?
[turns to the posse]
Taggart: Has anybody got a dime?
[henchmen grumble, search their pockets]
Taggart: Somebody’s gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!
A bunch of guys on horses are sitting at a toll booth in the middle of the desert, and wait for the dimes instead of just riding around the thing. Makes me laugh every time.
The movie The Ice Harvest has many classic scenes. But I’ll just suggest you focus on the Oliver Platt scenes. He steals the movie, in my HO.
Setup: the boys have been peeking into the girls’ locker room showers, and when they blow their cover, one boy sticks his penis through the peephole. The girls’ coach sees it and grabs it, but they manage to get away.
Then, the Scene: the girls’ coach is talking to the principal, while two male coaches in the background are trying not to laugh (and failing quite badly), as she asks that they have a “line-up” so that she can identify the peeper. It’s comedy gold.
So much from The Blues Brothers it’s hard to pick one.
Being released from prison. The cop car. The fancy restaurant. The country bar. The Illinois Nazi. The Diner. The Car Chase in the mall. The final car chase.
But I’d say the scene where Carrie Fisher finally talks is pretty damn funny.
Again with the Blazing Saddles…:rolleyes:
Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications?
Applicant: Rape, murder, arson, and rape.
Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice.
Applicant: I like rape.
Hilarious choices so far, and the Tim Conway scene gets me every time. Great thread! My contributions:
From Christmas Vacation:
Todd: Hey Griswold. Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?
Clark: Bend over and I’ll show you.
Todd: You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold.
Clark: I wasn’t talking to you.
"Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?
Clark: Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa’s sleigh on its way in from New York City.
Eddie: [after a pause] You serious, Clark?
That movie was so funny - we stumbled across it one Sunday afternoon when there was nothing else on, and laughed our asses off. It is definitely a hidden gem of a comedy.
Second the “What is so funny about the name… Biggus… Dickus?” scene.
And adding the scene from A Fish Called Wanda with John Cleese & Jamie Lee Curtis in the borrowed apartment. Kind of amazing that the funniest scene in that movie didn’t involve Kevin Kline at all, but there you go.
This is one of those movies that I really thought I would not like - and this is one of the scenes that made me laugh out loud and sold me on the movie.
