“Stop, or I’m going to shoot you in the hand!”
“You’re not gonna shoot me in the chest or the face?”
“Nope, I’m gonna shoot you in the hand.”
“Well, I don’t much like the though of getting shot in the hand.”
(surely got it completely messed up, but that’s how I remember it)
See it again, you won’t be disappointed. YF hasn’t aged a bit.
I present you with a laurel, and hearty handshake for making me laugh.

Oh man I remember that movie and Arnold in his light blue cowboy outfit.
Sheriff Bart: Are we awake?
Jim: I don’t know. Are we… black?
Sheriff Bart: Yes, we are.
Jim: Than we’re awake, but we are very confused.
And his seven-shot six-shooter.
I enjoyed The Villain (though I was a teenager), but it really was a live-action Road Runner cartoon (it even used some of the exact same gags).
That’s correct, nobody realized he was black until the Inauguration. Each day we wake up forgetting that fact.
Speaking of hilarious spoof Westerns anyone remember a TV movie from the 70s called Evil Roy Slade? Very very funny with virtuoso comedy performances by John Astin as Slade and Dick Shawn as Marshal Bing Bell (the guy who played Hitler in The Producers.)
Have no fear – Young Frankenstein is indeed the funniest movie ever made and hasn’t lost even the slightest bit of its perfection over the years.
“Stay close to the candles. The stairway can be … treacherous.”
How about “Muslim”, “Kenyan”, “traitor”, “not born in the US”, “only half black/white”, or using his middle name, and calling him Barry Soetoro?
Remember it? I own the DVD! Still fun - though obviously made for TV. The portrayal of Slade going to psychotherapy was a hoot! BTW, it also starred Henry Gibson of Laugh-In fame, and Pamela Austin from the original Twilight Zone episode where the homely girl gets plastic surgery because everyone does in her society.
There were a lot of parody Westerns in the 70s. Anyone else remember “Support Your Local Sheriff” and “Support Your Local Gunfighter”?

Such as? Saying “Eeny, meenie, minie, moe”?
Might I suggest imbibation?
Time to end this hijack. If you want to have a discussion of racism and politics, please start a new thread.
What is your proof that those are “code words” for “nigger”? Your own unprovable assumptions don’t count, of course.
Sorry, I made post #35 before I saw Marley23’s knock-it-off post. I would not have posted it if I had seen it.
Again, my apologies. I’m done here.
The candles that of course aren’t even lit. I’ve seen a handful of movies that might be as funny as YF, but never a film that was funnier. Like I said upthread, it hasn’t aged a bit. A masterpiece and a genuine classic.

Ovaltine?
“What knockers!”
That’s because you grew up. When I was between the ages of 10 and 14 Blazing Saddles was the absolute greatest movie ever. It had sex, fart jokes, taboo words, etc. I think it was written to appeal to adolescent boys.
When I was a teen and Spaceballs came out I thought it was the stupidest movie ever. It was later replaced by Men in Tights.
(Young Frankenstein is still awesome though)
