I can’t believe the DVD had cut scenes. There’s some odd stuff in there, too. Including a scene where everyone sweeps down the staircase, singing, which is very familiar but I can’t remember why.
My college roommate and I have probably watched Young Frankenstein together at least 50 times. It is a reflex, reflex I tell you, that when someone says any variation of “Could be worse” I answer “could be raining.”
What hump?
Don’t forget:
“He vill VRUE ze day he was born UH FRONKENSHTEEEN!”
My brothers and I are constantly riffing on the little exchange that includes:
“Didn’t you just make a ‘yummy’ sound?”
“No tongues!”
I’ve brought this up on he Board before, because I had heard it. My wife claims to have seen it, and so do others I talked to. I as sorely disappointed to find it is not amng the “Deleted Scenes” on the DVD . (And it’s a good thing those scenes were deleted. They were awful! The outtakes with Marty Feldmen, though, are proceless!)
Is it possible the scene never occurred? That it was an Urban Legend? I don’t think so – look at Marty Feldman when he and Teri Garr go rushing up to Wilder’s Dr. Frankenstein, after the Monster storms offstage – Feldman’s character, dressed in a tuxedo, has no hump!
Interesting bit – remember when the med student asks about Dr. Frankenstein’s ancestor keeping a piece of vermicelli alive in a jar, and Wilder’s Dr. Frahn kenstein smarmil asks “Would that be the worm? Or the Spaghetti?”. The Student answers “The worm, of course!”
Well, guess what – Shelley meant the spaghetti. There is no worm called vermicelli, and there was a report of such apparent spontaneous animation of the pasta shortly before she wrote her book. The details are in The Annotated Frankenstein and, presumably, in The Essential Frankenstein as well), edited by Leonard Wolf. I wrote a piece on it a couple of years ago for Halloween on this Board.
My favorite line – “What Knockers!” “Why Ssnk you, Doktorrr!”
As mentioned before, anything that could inspire Walk This Way is good in my book.
My mother told me about going to see this movie with a friend of hers, and the two of them fell apart laughing at the “Pardon me boy, is this the Transylvania station” bit. They looked around the theater, and they were the only ones laughing.
And when I used to play darts with some friends of mine, the phrase “Nice grouping” was used on more than one occasion.
Now listen to me very carefully. Don’t. Move. The Candle."
Funniest movie ever made. And I’m a HUGE Marx Brothers fan, so that’s saying something!!
When I get up in the morning, my youngest kitty follows me into the bathroom and does this rolling/stretching thing while I say, "Roll in zee hay, Roll in zee hay!
My whole family likes to strike a monster pose and say “Puttin’ on the Ritz!!!” in our best Peter Boyle voices.
And my ex-boss has a sound thingy on his IM at work. When I log on, he gets a message that says, “You take the blonde. I’ll take the one in the turban!”
“His brain is rotten, I tell you, rotten!”
“Grrrrrr!”
“Ixnay on the ottenray!”
Already mentioned, but:
Seda-Give?
Made even better by the fact that in the cut they could use you can see everyone trying not to laugh. I have seen outtakes from that scene. It took a very long time to film.
My favorite scene. I laugh even after hundreds of viewings. Gene Hackman should have done more comedy.
He had a pretty big part in the series Malcolm in the Middle.
How about:
“Let me out of here, you bastards! Can’t you take a joke?” or however it goes.
And “…accept it with quiet dignity and grace.”
And of course “I thought you wanted to.” in a slightly hurt voice.
“Hey there, handsome!”
(Jeepers cats, was the only line left that wasn’t quoted!)
For some reason, one of my favorite parts is at the very beginning, when Gene Wilder is lecturing to his medical students. He gets very worked up when the one kid asks him about the work of his ancestor, and to add emphasis to a point he brings down the scalpel he’s holding and drives it right into his thigh. Doesn’t make a sound then, just looks down briefly, takes his hand from the scalpel to make sure- yes, it’s standing there by itself. 
Wilder does this sight gag so calmly, it just makes me howl every time I see it.

Not sure after that, probably Blazing Saddles. He’s at his best when he’s working with someone else.
