There's a couple deep-cut jokes in this one. That "Lend me your ears!" being from Shakespeare, the Patriot Arrow being a knockoff "Patriot Missile", and "Hey Abbot!!" being an Abbot and Costello thing. Oh man, these guys should watch Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein! Maybe some of the other old classics- Who's on First, New Math, etc. The various Marx Brothers movies...
Fun Fact: Patriot Arrow is a Reference to the Patriot Missile... Which was HEAVILY discussed on the News and other sources during Desert Storm. The Patriot Missile is a Cruise missile, it was a pretty big talking point both with supporters and detractors taking shots at it pretty much nightly.
I could have swore they had already done blazing saddles, but don’t see it on their channel. Mel Brooks was told even back then that he couldn’t produce the movie, but he did it anyway.
@@faureamourDad only let me see the campfire scene when I was a kid, but nothing more. I saw the movie over the last few years and get it now. Considering kids parrot things they hear and there’s a lot of “kids see, kids do” because it’s how they process the world, he would have been worried I might copy things I shouldn’t from the movie. (Considering I had thought I could do like a cartoon bear and use a parasol as a parachute which caused me to break my arm, he was right to make that call.) Worst he had to worry about me seeing for that scene was a bunch of guys farting and burping.
3:16 to answer their question a falafel is sort of like a Middle Eastern version of a hush puppy. It’s mostly comprised of using ground up chickpeas that have been fried and usually served by themselves or as a sandwich, using pita bread and filled with falafel, a cabbage slaw and usually a sauce space around either yogurt or tahini
It's so freaking good! I'm definitely not a vegetarian, but that's a vegetarian option I could eat for every damn meal! Though I'd soon wish I hadn't... 😆
The excitement over the shared experience of using up all of Mom's bath oil pearls (I believed they were called Gems?) is hilarious. We had those too when I was growing up. I didn't dare touch them. My grandmother finally got me some of my own but they were like dolphin shaped and I didn't want to use them LOL.
Mel Brooks and Monty Python basically are the two comedy directors/ British groups that shaped my comedy brain. Also AIRPLANE! Anything absurdity based that's over the top of my jam.
Fun fact: the guy who plays Will Scarlet O'Hara also plays/voices Alan Wake in those games, and Dr. Casper Darling in Control, which is set in the same universe.
To clear up confusion, it's only the one brief scene where Robin and Little John dress up as Romani fortune tellers that's racist. The rest of Disney's Robin Hood is pretty tame.
So we are just supposed to pretend that Romani fortune tellers didn't exist? That isn't racist and everybody calling this little stuff racist are actually doing a huge injustice to the real racism that is rampant in this world.
I'm fascinated by the two times he dubbed Studio Ghibli films. One time he's a romantic swashbuckling cat, and the other he's a rootin-tootin' American pilot.
So, A few fun facts: The Men In Tights song is lightly based on the Jews In Space song from History of the World Part I. Mel Brook's famous line "It's good to be the king!" is also from History of the World Part I. The Patriot Missile system that had just been introduced was one of the first "smart" missiles deployed (although it was only used as an interceptor). The hangman was the same hangman from Blazing Saddles. The tights coming from eggs was because a popular brand of nylons sold back then (L'eggs) were packaged in plastic eggs.
Y'all were thinking of Dunbars number, which is 150, and it's not that you can only remember that many. It's you can only form close relationships with that many. After that, you can only remember bits and pieces about people, like their name or what they do.

For fans of Remedy’s Alan Wake and Control: Will Scarlett O’Hara is played by Matthew Porretta. He’s the voice of Alan Wake and he plays Dr. Casper Darling in Control.
Sometimes, I will stand in the hallway in front of my brother and say the "a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls" line just to make him laugh.
What I love about some of the gags in this movie is that foreign dubs of the film had replacement jokes for the ones that wouldn't make sense. That gag about Kevin Costner's Robin Hood not having an English accent for example: - German: "unlike other Robin Hoods, I do no cost the producers five million", the German word for "cost" is "kosten" which is pronounced similarly to Costner - French and Italian: "unlike other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with the wolves", a reference to the movie Dances with Wolves which Costner starred in - Quebec French: "unlike other Robin hoods, I wear tights", a jab at Costner's Robin Hood again - Hungarian: "unlike Kevin Costner, I have a shapely bottom", a jab at the nude scene in Costner's Robin Hood using a stunt double
Fun fact, you can probably learn sword fighting from a restaurant called medieval times, they have a stadium where knights fight while you eat and stuff, its great (they even joust)
Thank you for uploading this. Penalac cut the power for maintenance before I took a shower, so I lost hot water much faster than normal. As a result, I have the nickname "Barbara" to Penalac so I can yell "THANK YOU BARBARA!!" as sarcastically as possible. Laughter is the best medicine
Mel has a lot of movies that don't get as much love as they deserve but are worth watching. The actor that played Will Scarlet actually got his own show as Robin Hood for a while in the 90s.
Fun fact: 12:50 he says the boy killed a deer in the king's forest. In Italy there's a song about hanging jordie with a golden rope because he stole 6 dears in the king's forest
The thing that bothers me about physical media is if a series only gets one season and gets canceled they will usually only release it on blue ray and not dvd… (Also if you’re going to watch Princess Bride and enjoy it, please watch Stardust too. You’ll love it too.)
You can tell this movie was written by an American In the 90s in the UK we already had affordable healthcare. Not in the 15th Century though. But then the joke wouldn't be funny.
"I don't think I would make a very inspiring disabled person" I forget where that quote is from but that's the vibes I got when you were talking about going blind. XD
I have this one on VHS, recorded off HBO (so without the cuts). Love this one, my fave of all the Mel Brooks movies. I think it's got enough Swashbuckling to be a solid action film (Carrey Elwes doesn't hurt that!) and the 4th wall breaks are juuuust subtle enough to not take you out of the story, while still being hilarious.
37:29 don't know if any one ever noticed that the marry man in the front row with blonde hair is the dad in disney channels Wizards of Waverly Place, and little John's actor was also a dad in a disney series & also appeared in an episode of the Wizards series.
Falafel is delicious, they are basically fried, spiced chickpea fritters. You can put them in a wrap and make a sandwich, or just eat the fritters individually.
If I may, I’d like to nominate 3 Ninjas if you do a 90s marathon. That was my favorite movie as a kid. It’s probably not that good in hindsight but it’s pure 90s fun. I rented it so often when my local video store closed down they gave me the tape.
Just fyi: I've been binging your videos as a distraction from my thesis work as I work towards my masters. I also got lucky to catch this one so early. I watched Nemo and came back to the channel to see what else you had done recently only to see this had dropped while I watched the other.
Considering that he was Jewish, and therefore one of the only Hollywood people able to make Jewish jokes,(both against and from perspective) it would’ve probably been interesting and a unique. The passion: a parody according to someone who thinks he was a heretic.
Something interesting about the chastity belt and key is that it makes total sense. Robin and Marian's parents wanted them to get married as a political move, so they put her in the belt and spun her a story about her "one true love," while Robin's dad had the key the whole time. He was just supposed to wait until they were old enough to get married and then pass it to Robin.
Time to get Merry with the Men because this is an extremely funny movie, so here are some fun facts - This isn’t the first time that Mel Brooks worked on a Robin Hood project when he worked on satirical spin on Robin Hood called “When Things Were Rotton”, & Mel Brooks wrote all of the original songs - Robin Hood is played by Cary Elwes but when Mel Brooks called him for the role Cary thought he was being pranked, but he was prefect in my opinion & like he said “unlike other Robin Hood’s I can speak with an English” was such a jab - Patrick Stewart wasn’t the first choice for King Richard was originally going to be played by Sean Connery since he has played that character before, but this time he would crossdress along with wanting a 1 million salary so he could donate to charities - When the Abbot (played by Dick Van Patten) was walking down then got annoyed by a man that said “Hey Abbot” is a reference to Abbott & Costello - Dom DeLuise may have been the mafia inspired Don Giovanni, but did you know his son David DeLuise was also in the movie as one of the villagers
Would be new to me that Disney's Robin Hood is racist - if we're talking about the one with the anthropomorphic animals (i don't think there is another one? - you might confuse it with "Song of the South"?
Okay make sure you clarify that while YES the N word is said in Blazing Saddles it's also one of the first movies to star a Black Actor as lead, something that at the time was usually only done by Sidney Poiter and pretty much no one else... Also African Americans LOVE Blazing Saddles, so again... RELAX, Blazing Saddles is BELOVED worldwide... On that note Heyo from Australia.
Fun fact: there's a manga called the Ride On King which is about Putin (literally Putin) being isekaid to a fantasy world where he is obsessed with riding on mythical animals. It implies that he is who he is right now because he's frustrated that he has already ridden on every animal that can support his weight on earth.
The jokes in this are even funnier if you've seen other Robin Hood movies, especially Prince of Thieves. There's a few plot points are taken from that one and twisted into something laughably different.
The princess in this movie was also in Grimm she played Nick's mother She was also the police commissioner our captain She was also the police commissioner or captain In the one season Of the TV series Limitless
So many cool call-backs in this one... The 'overbooked hangman' from Blazing Saddles, 'walk this way' from Young Frankenstein. Everytime I watch it, I see new stuff.
I've ridden an Elephant. When I was a kid it was common place for this company to come into town and you could pay a couple of bucks and ride an elephant around in this pen with like 7 or 8 other kids or adults. They did this in the parking lot of a market basket in southeast texas
This is one of my first time experience with this movie and it's was one of the funniest and yet craziest movie I have watch, plus also This Robin Hood is British
This movie almost, ALMOST justifies the existence of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Almost. Even Alan Rickman couldn't save that film, and he sure tried.
Suggestion: whenever you guys aren’t too busy with the things you’re watching you should watch the DC Animated Universe I prepared a watch order: The Dark Knight's First Night • Batman: The Animated Series (Season 1) • Batman: Mask the Phantasm • Batman: The Animated Series (Season 2) • Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero • Superman: The Animated Series (Season 1-2) • The New Batman Adventures (Season 1) • Superman: The Animated Series (Season 3) • Batman Beyond (Season 1-3) • Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker • The Zeta Project (Season 1-2) • Lobo (Season 1) (optional) • Gotham Girls (Season 1-3) (optional) • Static Shock (Season 1-2) • Justice League (Season 1) • Static Shock (Season 3-4) • Justice League (Season 2) • Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman • Chase Me (2003) • Justice League Unlimited (Season 1-3) • Batman 75th Anniversary Short • Batman and Harley Quinn • Justice League vs. the Fatal Five Also I highly recommend watching Batman TAS on Blu-ray
20:38 I never quite got the Actual joke here but then I grew up and got a slightly dirtier mind and I laughed my rear off. When I pointed it out to my niece she laughed just as hard. What I thought it was as a kid? He said they called him Little John and he mentioned that he’s very big. I saw a giant man on the screen so.. I thought he was simple enough that he felt he needed to explain that he’s actually a big man while Robin was in front of him and could see that. Kinda like me having a nickname TallGirl but after saying that’s what they call me I explain to the person In Front of Me that in reality I’m actually very short. (4’11) Makes him look stupid even before he fell in the water. Made sense to me at the time. 😅
No, Boom misheard Ruff. Ruff said he only saw the Disney animated one. That one hasn´t got anything raacist. Stereotypes and innuendos at best. Boom likely meant the Kevin Costner one. Robin hood: Prince of Thieves is by Warner Bros, so not owned by Disney. There the ¨black man¨was always mistrusted in advance (plus a profecy to the witch she will be killed by one). But Azeem quickly gains respect by treating the woman in labour and Robin´s second in command. And the sheriff of Rottingham there...is his own warning.
I've seen the Disney version so many times and i never got "gay couple" or that the rabbit was a bad mom... ? This is literally the first I've heard of that
@@erikawilliams9558 I as a kid either. but some bloggers and critics like Doug Nostalgia Critic point it out, I can´t not see it. They are more like a bickering couple than ruler and subordinate. The snake sleeps with the prince, the ¨I got a dirty thumb¨ and nicknames of Sir Hiss...
But the claim of Mother rabbit not watching her kids enough... looking back that´s not true. In jail she watched over them all. The little one falling of the carriage happened in the commotion, so she could only panick without going after it. And Skippy becoming the guardian of the wedded couple is not something she has to consent to...because he´s actually way past mature age (Skippy is 7, while rabbits are 5 years max before adult).
We are Men; Men in tights; We may look like sissies; but we rob from the rich; and give to the poor... We are men in tights; Tight Tights; But we never run from Fights... That is about all the song I remember of the top of my head... But this is my 2nd fave Mel Brooks movie. My fave of all is "Dracula Dead and loving it". Renfield you idiot; I can fly you can't. Yes master; I can fly you can't... fave scene of that movie.
You need to see the other versions so you can recognise the references in this movie. The 1939 one with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, and the Kevin Costner one from about 1990.
The script joke has to be one of the funniest jokes I've ever seen. He literally gets another shot because the script says so
I could just see the writers room like "damn how are we gonna justify it? It's so funny that robin misses but how do we justify the second shot??" And someone just went "... Bc the script said so" and they went "THATS IT!!!"

Mel Brooks is truly the master of parody films, and this is one of his most hilarious.
And also a zionist so he throws all that out the window.
Princess Bride is a MUST!
You could just watch the movie yourself and babble over the jokes, it will be the same experience
Apparently, the mole joke wasn't initially intensional. As with a lot of movies, the scenes were shot out of order, and the bathtub scene was fairly early. When the Sherrif asks if the mole was originally on the other side, it was a genuine 'did costuming screw up?' inquiery, but Mel Brooks liked the 'I have a MOLE?' response so much that he decided that the roaming mole would be an ongoing thing.
The “Lend me your ears” bit and the payoff with the “That’s disgusting” always makes me laugh my ass off 😂
There's a couple deep-cut jokes in this one. That "Lend me your ears!" being from Shakespeare, the Patriot Arrow being a knockoff "Patriot Missile", and "Hey Abbot!!" being an Abbot and Costello thing.
Oh man, these guys should watch Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein! Maybe some of the other old classics- Who's on First, New Math, etc. The various Marx Brothers movies...

Mel Brooks and Monty Python basically are the two comedy directors/ British groups that shaped my comedy brain. Also AIRPLANE! Anything absurdity based that's over the top of my jam.
Airplane was by Zucker Abrams and Zucker. They're up there with those comedic directors too, having done Naked Gun and Top Secret.
The reason Blinkin could see in that one scene? His glasses were knocked up.

Robin and Marian's parents wanted them to get married as a political move, so they put her in the belt and spun her a story about her "one true love," while Robin's dad had the key the whole time. He was just supposed to wait until they were old enough to get married and then pass it to Robin.
"Just you, and me, and my GUARDS!!"
Funny thing is that Blizzard used that line for WoW in one of their Dungeons back in Legion.
Time to get Merry with the Men because this is an extremely funny movie, so here are some fun facts
- This isn’t the first time that Mel Brooks worked on a Robin Hood project when he worked on satirical spin on Robin Hood called “When Things Were Rotton”, & Mel Brooks wrote all of the original songs
- Robin Hood is played by Cary Elwes but when Mel Brooks called him for the role Cary thought he was being pranked, but he was prefect in my opinion & like he said “unlike other Robin Hood’s I can speak with an English” was such a jab
- Patrick Stewart wasn’t the first choice for King Richard was originally going to be played by Sean Connery since he has played that character before, but this time he would crossdress along with wanting a 1 million salary so he could donate to charities
- When the Abbot (played by Dick Van Patten) was walking down then got annoyed by a man that said “Hey Abbot” is a reference to Abbott & Costello
- Dom DeLuise may have been the mafia inspired Don Giovanni, but did you know his son David DeLuise was also in the movie as one of the villagers
You know that all the actors in this move were having the time of their lives, like most brooks films probably.
Oh my God this is my favorite Robin Hood adaptation of all time!!!! You guys chose an awesome Robin Hood movie to react.
Confusing Mel Brooks with Mel Gibson definitely confirms that the channel name is accurate! 🤣🤣
Would be new to me that Disney's Robin Hood is racist - if we're talking about the one with the anthropomorphic animals (i don't think there is another one? - you might confuse it with "Song of the South"?
If you think the K.Costner Robin Hood wasn't good, watch the newest one with Jamie Fox, you'll see what bad looks like.
You guys should watch Dracula Dead and Loving It. Its another Mel Brooks movie and its funny as hell
Nope. That's a catapult. A trebuchet swings end over end.
*takes notes*
@sortastupid 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry. I was always fascinated with medieval history.
Okay make sure you clarify that while YES the N word is said in Blazing Saddles it's also one of the first movies to star a Black Actor as lead, something that at the time was usually only done by Sidney Poiter and pretty much no one else... Also African Americans LOVE Blazing Saddles, so again... RELAX, Blazing Saddles is BELOVED worldwide... On that note Heyo from Australia.
Yeah, them saying it aged poorly was pathetic.
Fun fact: there's a manga called the Ride On King which is about Putin (literally Putin) being isekaid to a fantasy world where he is obsessed with riding on mythical animals. It implies that he is who he is right now because he's frustrated that he has already ridden on every animal that can support his weight on earth.
1:12 Ah yes, Mel Brooks, well-known Jewish comedian, definitely did Passion of the Christ. XD
The jokes in this are even funnier if you've seen other Robin Hood movies, especially Prince of Thieves. There's a few plot points are taken from that one and twisted into something laughably different.
A Sorta Stupid 3 person bath....In more ways then one.
The princess in this movie was also in Grimm she played Nick's mother She was also the police commissioner our captain She was also the police commissioner or captain In the one season Of the TV series Limitless
this is dave chapelle's first movie part bigger than "dude at party"
So many cool call-backs in this one...
The 'overbooked hangman' from Blazing Saddles, 'walk this way' from Young Frankenstein.
Everytime I watch it, I see new stuff.
I've ridden an Elephant. When I was a kid it was common place for this company to come into town and you could pay a couple of bucks and ride an elephant around in this pen with like 7 or 8 other kids or adults. They did this in the parking lot of a market basket in southeast texas
Oh wow the executioner is the same guy from blazing saddles. I think cuz he had that eyepatch
FYI...The actor who played the Hangman was the same guy who played the Hangman in Blazing Saddles.
This is one of my first time experience with this movie and it's was one of the funniest and yet craziest movie I have watch, plus also This Robin Hood is British
This movie almost, ALMOST justifies the existence of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Almost. Even Alan Rickman couldn't save that film, and he sure tried.
The hangman was the same one from Blazin Saddles.
Suggestion: whenever you guys aren’t too busy with the things you’re watching you should watch the DC Animated Universe

I never quite got the Actual joke here but then I grew up and got a slightly dirtier mind and I laughed my rear off.
When I pointed it out to my niece she laughed just as hard.
What I thought it was as a kid?
He said they called him Little John and he mentioned that he’s very big.
I saw a giant man on the screen so..
I thought he was simple enough that he felt he needed to explain that he’s actually a big man while Robin was in front of him and could see that.
Kinda like me having a nickname TallGirl but after saying that’s what they call me I explain to the person In Front of Me that in reality I’m actually very short. (4’11)
Makes him look stupid even before he fell in the water.
Made sense to me at the time. 😅
Riding a giraffe or a zebra is a route to a Darwin Award
I loved this movie so much as a kid.
Wait… the Disney Robin Hood is racist?!?
Which Disney version? There were multiple.
No, Boom misheard Ruff. Ruff said he only saw the Disney animated one. That one hasn´t got anything raacist. Stereotypes and innuendos at best. Boom likely meant the Kevin Costner one. Robin hood: Prince of Thieves is by Warner Bros, so not owned by Disney. There the ¨black man¨was always mistrusted in advance (plus a profecy to the witch she will be killed by one). But Azeem quickly gains respect by treating the woman in labour and Robin´s second in command. And the sheriff of Rottingham there...is his own warning.
I've seen the Disney version so many times and i never got "gay couple" or that the rabbit was a bad mom... ? This is literally the first I've heard of that
@@erikawilliams9558 I as a kid either. but some bloggers and critics like Doug Nostalgia Critic point it out, I can´t not see it. They are more like a bickering couple than ruler and subordinate. The snake sleeps with the prince, the ¨I got a dirty thumb¨ and nicknames of Sir Hiss...
But the claim of Mother rabbit not watching her kids enough... looking back that´s not true. In jail she watched over them all. The little one falling of the carriage happened in the commotion, so she could only panick without going after it. And Skippy becoming the guardian of the wedded couple is not something she has to consent to...because he´s actually way past mature age (Skippy is 7, while rabbits are 5 years max before adult).
We are Men;
Men in tights;
We may look like sissies;
but we rob from the rich;
and give to the poor...
We are men in tights;
Tight Tights;
But we never run from Fights...
That is about all the song I remember of the top of my head... But this is my 2nd fave Mel Brooks movie.
My fave of all is "Dracula Dead and loving it".
Renfield you idiot; I can fly you can't.
Yes master; I can fly you can't... fave scene of that movie.
After blazing saddles I hoped they watch superhero movie as well, that one is also full of laughs. Christopher McDonald is hilarious 😂

Locksley
Maybe the family were locksmiths?
Robinhood Prince of Thieves is one of the best Rickman and Freeman movies there was
Out of all the others who reacted to this movie, you are the only ones who noticed the Life Saver from the witch!
Another fun Mel Brooks movie with Amy Yasbeck in it is Dracula: Dead and Loving It. She even has the same voice!
You need to see the other versions so you can recognise the references in this movie. The 1939 one with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, and the Kevin Costner one from about 1990.
I’ve actually met Cary Elwes and he is such a nice and funny guy
