Tell me, Texmam, are you in show business?

You could put that under your coffee while you watch radar. :slight_smile:

So - what’s your favorite sight gag for the movie?

Mine:
a) The black wrist poking out of the KKK gown. Er… oops?

b) The invading horde of bad guys riding in to terrorize the fake town of Rockridge. Thing is, we already know it’s just a movie set. Thing is, we see them coming towards the screen with the false front of Rockridge behind them. That means they rode in from the back of the set. Yes, a movie not afraid to descend beneath the blitheringly ridiculous. Classic.

PLUS the only difference between rock ridge, and fake rock ridge was a bunch of scrub brush thrown in the street…

ETA: Oh, and the horses flying in the air when the dynamite goes off

I loved the GOV in giant letters on the back of his suit.

Have you ever seen such cruelty?

You know what they say, no noose is good noose.

I’ve been claiming this as my favorite movie of all time for about 20 years, and I never knew that. Of course, I didn’t catch the laurel/hearty joke until it was pointed out to me about 10 years ago. sigh

And just so I’ve contributed to the quoting: “Everyone’s equal in my eye!”

That’s all right Asimovian, I didn’t get the Laurel and Hardy joke until just now. I never would have expected such … subtlity … from Mel Brooks.

Now for my favorite line. Are you ready?

Really, really ready?

It’s from the TV version:

“Here she is, the Teutonic Titwillow, Lily VON ST-”

That’s right, you heard right: “St-”

ABC managed to censor Stupp, a one-syllable word.

Those censors are strict.

I didn’t get a “harrumph” out of that guy!

Give the Governor “Harumph!”

This thing is warped!

Ah! I feel weefweshed!

Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We’re at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can’t.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?

:slight_smile:

What Knockers!

Head them off at the pass?!” I hate that cliche!"

Now, now. It’s all right. It’s just a man on a horse being hung.

The fool’s going…err…The Sheriff’s going to do it!

Wrong Brooks movie.

Taggart: I got it! I know how we can run everyone out of Rock Ridge.
Hedley Lamarr: How?
Taggart: We’ll kill the first born male child in every household.
Hedley Lamarr: (after some thought) Too Jewish.
