Saw this in the theater when it came out. When the monster screams "Puttin on da rizzzz..! The audience was laughing so hard people were on the floor crying. I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard. That was the quote of the film people were saying when leaving the theater. There were so many funny quotes.
Saw it in the theater too. Amazing! Whenever I hear this song begin to play, I have forever been imprinted to hear the creature singing his lines! Way too funny, and classic Mel Brooks.
According to both men, this was the only major disagreement Brooks and Wilder ever had. Brooks did not like this musical number and kept telling Wilder to take it out. Wilder fought so hard to keep it in that Brooks relented and was never so happy to be wrong.
Brooks and Wilder both clarified this on talk shows a while back - he wasn't against it, but he wasn't sure - but he said that he approved because Wilder fought so hard for it.
Incorrect. He didn’t dislike it. He just told Wilder he didn’t in their first conversation about it and Wilder argued with him for 30 minutes until Brooks instantly changed his mind and said it was going in. Wilder asked why the quick change and Brooks said that he was merely testing him to see how passionate he was about it.
@@shack8110 Fredrick Frankenstein is trying to prove to the scientific community that his creation is not evil. He starts with simple motor skills then, since this is a zany comedy, they break out into a musical. If you haven't seen this film, watch it asap.
I was walking with my Mom around NYC in the mid to late ‘90s and came across a movie theater that was showing a free showing of Young Frankenstein. Though he didn’t come out, I learned while sitting in my seat that Gene Wilder was in attendance in the projector room.
I think the first filmed version of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” is available on TH-cam. It was from an early sound musical of the same name that came out in 1929.
Saw this in the theater when it was released and laughed so hard my sides hurt. Went back quite a few times to watch it (remember, this was before VHS and DVDs). Watching it tonight I just realized they’re all gone now. Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Gene Wilder, and now Teri Garr.
My college used to have an event called All College Sing, where different groups would perform musical routines. One year, my fraternity did a trio of Mel Brooks songs, including "Puttin' on the Ritz." I was Frankenstein's Monster. We won, and I like to think I may have played just a small role in that.
I guarantee that Mirandalorian knows all of the lyrics to "Puttin' on the Ritz", and any time she sings, she is worth listening to. She is my favorite reactor.
I wish Gene Wilder could have seen all of these reactions to the scene he fought so hard for. Mel Brooks wasn't convinced it would work, but Gene insisted. Finally Mel said, "If you're going to fight so hard to keep it, it must be good!" I'm sure that both Gene and Mel watched audiences' reactions in the previews and theatrical showings. But here we are, decades later, and folks are still laughing. Gene would be proud.
I showed this movie to my kids a few months ago - they had never seen it - and up to this part, they thought the movie was pretty funny. This part totally destroyed them. 🤣🤣🤣
When I saw it when it first opened it was also playing in the theater next door but was ahead of ours, so people laughed before we heard the joke. You can imagine how funny that was.
Peter Boyle...so incredible. Everyone says about him playing Frank on Everybody Loves Raymond, but even cooler he was at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's wedding
During the script writing stage of pre-production Mel Brooks told Gene Wilder that he had decided not to film the Puttin' on the Ritz scene. They got into a big fight over it. Brooks finally told Wilder "ok, it's in." Gene responded with "Mel, how could you put me thru that?" Brooks' response was "I just wasn't sure if it was funny. I wanted to see how hard you'd fight for it." The rest is history. I saw it in a theater when released and this scene got the most intense laughter in a film full of laughs.
In 1974 Marty Feldman (Igor) came to our elementary school to promote this movie. Thinking about that now it was surreal. Celebrities were different back then.
What a stuffy, stuck up audience.. I think the creature did a good job. Those platform shoes made it more difficult...... I've watched this a 1000 times or more and it still makes me laugh! Putting on the Ritz!!!!
It is interesting--and a little unexpected--that the native English speakers, the culturally Western reactors, found the bit screamingly hilarious, while the others were reserved and did not quite get the point. Was it cultural familiarity with the song itself, or is it something else?

Same here. The whole place was crying so hard. I have never laughed so hard before or since.
Try to watch the outtakes of this film on TH-cam.They’re just as funny.😉
The door knockers line got me in trouble....I was a bad little boy! LOL

Popping a treat in, is a genius little aside.

Why were these 2 characters doing a song & dance number?

I saw this movie with my parents when I was very young. The audience was practically falling out of their chairs laughing during this scene. 😂
The actor that plays frankenstein is grandpa in and everyone loves raymond
Yep. Peter Boyle. The best character of Everybody Loves Raymond
Holy crap!!!
Sadly both Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder are gone.😔RIP🙏
I know him as Lazlo from Where The Buffalo Roam.
He's Raymond's father!
I wish more people would realize that Peter Boyle ("The Creature") was Ray Romano's Dad in Everyone Loves Raymond!
Everyone knows that except for uncultured swine and Gen Z.
He was the psychic Clyde Bruckman from the X-Files for me.
I think for this compilation, Dawn Marie gets the award for pure laughter and delight.
I like how red she gets for laughing so hard
She laughs even harder during the movie Bad Santa when the midget gets knocked down in the boxing ring. It was hilarious!

Back when Taco recorded his cover of this song, we always sang it that way whenever we heard it playing.😂
"Puttin' on the ritz" will never be the same.😁
Love Dawns reaction really had the case of the giggles.
I love that the first reactor knew the act that this was taken from. I never knew where it came from, although I had heard "putting on the Ritz"
Miranda, her reaction to this movie is gold. She picks up on the smallest of jokes that most miss.
She knows her movie musicals! She also recognized Ethel Merman from “Airplane!”
I think the first filmed version of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” is available on TH-cam. It was from an early sound musical of the same name that came out in 1929.
Even after watching this a bunch of times the "PUTTING ON DA RITZ!!" still makes me laugh

Miranda's reactions are always so fun to watch
My family has played this movie every single Halloween for over fifteen years without fail. It’s one of my favorite holiday traditions.
Why is there so much produce here?!? Love this movie so much, never gets old ❤
The healing from pure humour❤❤❤p.s. your ab muscles gets a workout also😂
I swear Gene Wilder is having so much fun in this movie that it became a smash hit! 😂 👍
And he wrote it. Mel Brooks helped him edit it and smooth it out, but Gene Wilder actually wrote it and brought it to him.
I set my phone's timer to play this bit :)
...it's soooo wrong, and so funny.
No matter the hype, never try pudding on a Ritz.
I have watched this movie at least once a year since I had access to play it back. I still find it all funny again every time!
The guy who played Frankenstein's monster in this movie also played the dad in Everybody Loves Raymond.
Yep,Peter Boyle.Both him and Gene Wilder are gone now😿RIP🙏
@@DerekHarrison-d5d And Marty Feldman. And Madeline Kahn. And Cloris Leachman. And Richard Haydn who was executor Herr Falkstein.
Who is that first reactor? Every time I watch your vids I see her and she automatically makes my mood better. She’s got the best laugh.
Her channel name is shown at the three second mark.
The Mirandalorian
Thank you both. Never noticed the name stamp.
@@danjohnson2986her reaction to this movie is pure gold. I have watched it about 3 times. She picks up on the smallest of jokes that most miss
She's always good, but in this case I have to give it to Dawn Marie, who laughed until she cried.

seeing this my laughing-so-hard-i-can't-breath moment.
This is one of my favorite scenes in movie history
1 of the funniest scenes to get a compilation of reactions would be the bar scene from Weird Science. It's about the best scene ever.
I really appreciate you’re mixed reaction videos. I know it’s a pain to edit all of these videos down.
I've really been enjoying your videos, reacting to other TH-camrs reacting to particular movie scenes.
I love you for these man!
To Asia and BJ he is saying is "Puttin on the Ritz". THANKS you all........
Saw this on TV the other day and hoped you would do a reaction video of this very scene. Thanks for reading my mind.
Super duper!💥😆
The Creature wears shiny FORMAL big monster shoes lol
Asia and BJ.....he's saying "Puttin' on the Ritz" (the name of the song). 😁
Don't know who the first girl is but she is adorable
You guys want comedy, Laurel & Hardy - Busy Bodies!
Hilarious 😂
Asia and BJ didn’t know the song. For others there is a language and/or cultural background difference.
What a stuffy, stuck up audience.. I think the creature did a good job. Those platform shoes made it more difficult...... I've watched this a 1000 times or more and it still makes me laugh! Putting on the Ritz!!!!
Most of the channels listed in your time stamps are wrong.
just checked, looks fine to me, not sure what your looking at.
@@eolsunder That's because he fixed them.
It is interesting--and a little unexpected--that the native English speakers, the culturally Western reactors, found the bit screamingly hilarious, while the others were reserved and did not quite get the point. Was it cultural familiarity with the song itself, or is it something else?
The whole routine goes to h-ll LOL
And you can never hear it the normal way again..... Espresso?
This is the best.
Two words. Taco.
Frankenstein's monster did have a name.
It was Tim.
😂
For God's sake, COME ON lolol
This scene shows the mob mentality. Little has changed over the decades.
😢😢😢😢
I count 2 reactors who had a good laugh
The rest, nah
You can't count.
Stop blurring it out! It's annoying!!
How in the world did Mel Brooks ever think that this scene wouldn't be funny?
In a way it end genuinely sadly/hurtful. Maybe that's why?
Of course he thought it would be funny. Thats why hecleft it in when he rewrote Wilder's draft.
