I could have been more interactive and asked "Getting High or Getting Drunk?" but then everyone would've thought I was only talking to Ro.

As it is, HIgh Anxiety is on and this is a question. Perhaps I could have watched and been stimulated but instead I went on ILE, drunk, AND smoked out. which seems infintely more fun.

So now I retire to my cozy bed and leave you all to ponder. . .

IS MEL BROOKS A DUD OR JUST A BALL SUCKER?!?!

p.s. to ro. I am not dissing you.

You are drunk and weepy over missing your boyfriend. Don't worry, WE'RE you're boyfriend now!

From The Producers to most of History of the World -- Part One, I think he was actually pretty good if painfully obvious at times. After that...hm. No.

'You're boyfriend'? I must be drunk too.

Jesus H. Christ Young Frankenstein is funny.

Big fat dud. That is, aside from the scene in Spaceballs where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls.

holy freakin' smoking crap The Producers is funny.

― duane, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the producers is really funny.

― ethan, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought Spaceballs was good, was that after History of the World? Quick check at IMDb says after. Actually, now that I have a list, I can see that I also liked Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I feel so ashamed.

I adore the producers, history of the world is good, I really like life stinks, but understand I may be alone in this. (he's really good in the princess' bride too but I think he jus cameoed in that)

You're right Young Frankestein rocks.

I like Mel Brooks v. much yet I sorta have to agree with that. the joeks aren't lol joeks.

― iatee, Friday, 2 October 2009 07:32 (sixteen years ago)

dude, Young Frankenstein is WAY funnier than the rest of his movies. Assuming you know the orig Frankesnstein movies...

Oh.

― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 2 October 2009 07:45 (sixteen years ago)

oh, and see them with an audience, as intended.

― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 2 October 2009 07:46 (sixteen years ago)

I'm sure seeing them in their first theatrical run was awesome morbs, I'm jealous, really

― iatee, Friday, 2 October 2009 07:51 (sixteen years ago)

SECOND run (c. 1978)

― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 2 October 2009 07:52 (sixteen years ago)

you missed out on the authentic experience imo, I really don't think those films were meant to be seen a room with a bunch of people from the 1970s

― iatee, Friday, 2 October 2009 07:55 (sixteen years ago)

IT'S ALIVE

― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 2 October 2009 07:56 (sixteen years ago)

i saw it on it's initial theatrical run, and i "rescreened" it a couple years ago, still holds up imo

― velko, Friday, 2 October 2009 08:08 (sixteen years ago)

"its"

Young Frankenstein is his best, it's probably close to anybody's best.

― Brewer's Bitch (darraghmac), Friday, 2 October 2009 09:17 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah no YF is really funny, and I am a young whippersnapper with my ipods and my text messages and such

― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Friday, 2 October 2009 09:47 (sixteen years ago)

Blazing Saddles is definitely the least funny classic comedy film I've ever seen. I found it literally tedious to sit through.

― EDB, Friday, 2 October 2009 15:10 (sixteen years ago)

five years pass...

Give the governor 'Harrumph!'

― piscesx, Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:20 (eleven years ago)

I hope Tracer eventually found out that Mel had nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes' Younger [sic] Brother
