We need a Mel Brooks biopic called Mr. Brooks. On the movie poster it should say He lived a wonderful life. He went to war. He became a comical legend. Or He went school, he went to war, now he is a comical legend.
The women in this video are so beautiful the dance moves 3:17--3:25 are beyond sexy. It says something about Mel Brooks that with all the beautiful women in his films and the risque nature of some of them, no one ever accused him of abusing his power or going over the line...that speaks volumes of his character.
It does say something... Especially in this modern world where it seems like no politician can even be in the same room with a beautiful woman without starting a scandal.
Remember, this was made in 1968. Nobody was making movies with this kind of satire then: Brooks was really breaking the mold. He said that he felt the ultimate revenge against the Nazis was to laugh at them.
To Be or Not to Be is brooks remake of the 1940 jack Benny movie, which is far superior to this. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge brooks fan, but this movie is adequate at best.

I dont understand how this wouldnt be PC? Nazis are my favorite joke target. The only people who complain are nazis, and I couldnt give a piss what they think
My point was the world has changed. Watch Springtime for Hitler. The original showed the swastika. Broadway did a modern version and the swastika was left off. You can't even make fun of nazis today. I guess I will take the advice from one reply below and just not care about pc today!

Its so terrible and yet so damn catchy. That line has been running in my head all day.
For anyone who wouldn't know, this line is a callback to The Producers! (Mel Brooks' first credit as a director)

My favorite line is still: "We had an election--well, kinda-sorta"...
...and its never been more relevant than here and now.

I love this kind of humor , Don't get why people nowadays can't stand a single joke.

I’m pretty sure people are fine with this. But alas, this comment was made pre-Jojo Rabbit.
Silent majority is fine with it
Because people were genocided
Twisted Malkavian he’s mocking those committing the genocide. And “genocided” isn’t a word
Because of the idiotic sjw woke agenda.
My favorite line was "were gonna whip it on the people Teutonic style"
Genius, Genius,Genius.
Were this the only thing Mel ever did, he would still rank among the greatest of comic minds.
The women in this video are so beautiful the dance moves 3:17--3:25 are beyond sexy. It says something about Mel Brooks that with all the beautiful women in his films and the risque nature of some of them, no one ever accused him of abusing his power or going over the line...that speaks volumes of his character.
Don't forget that he was desperately in love with his wife Anne Bancroft and stayed in love with her until the day she died.
He was accused of going over the line plenty of times. Almost entirely by people who missed the joke
It does say something... Especially in this modern world where it seems like no politician can even be in the same room with a beautiful woman without starting a scandal.
And the thing is, Brooks is objectively a handsome guy too, but you lose that with all the mugging he does for the camera.
Brilliantly choreographed by the inimitable Alan Johnson; a long time collaborator with Mel.
I remember this from USA Networks' "Night Flight" whenever they would do their comedy music anthology.
This was when people still had a sense of humor, funny stuff!

Not revenge. Just a mockery. They were long defeated by then. There was nothing to avenge anymore.
I’m pretty sure this scene was made in the 80s. It’s The Producers that was made in the 60s
