5:45 Fun fact: the robe that Mel Brooks is wearing for the part of Moses is the exact same robe that Charlton Heston wore when he played the role of Moses in “The Ten Commandments”.
I saw this at the theater as a 13 year old with my dad and when the cavemen became “erect” and the subtitle “Our Forefathers “ came up I thought he was going to die, I had never seen him laugh so hard at a sight gag😂😂
Fun fact. Mel Brooks paid Orson Welles $25,000 to provide the narration and expected it to take 5 days. Welles got it done in less than 3 hours. Brooks said he should have paid him $5,000 a day. :P
Excellent, this and Blazing Saddles are my favorite Mel Brooks movies. Thanks, guys. * Dom Deluise is best known for his role in the Cannonball Run movies, Captain Chaos!
"Your skill is only surpassed by your courage Mr Liu. Apparently you are anxious to see my operation.." *shows scar from appendix operation* The friggin alarm always cracks me up too. Lol
Rewatching as Nick Kroll said they are working on a sequel to this with Mel Brooks on board. The man is 96 years old (I think) and still working. What a legend
9:42 Sorry to spoil the fun but it's Vestal Virgins - like the Roman Goddess Vesta, virgin goddess of the hearth an home, (her Greek counterpart was called Hestia). She was the first born out of the first 6 gods (the next 5 being Ceres/Demeter, Juno/Hera, Pluto/Hades, Neptune/Poseidon, and Jupiter/Zeus) and therefore was the first of the 5 swallowed by their father (Jupiter/Zeus was hidden by their mother before his father could eat him) but was also therefore the last one to be vomited back up so she's both the eldest and the youngest out of them. She got a lot more attention in Rome than she did in Greece because the Romulus and Remus's (Rome's founders who ended up trying to kill each other) mother was a Vestal Virgin before Mars (God of War, Roman counterpart to Ares) noticed her and in all likelihood attacked her - she was either then killed or was separated from her sons, in anycase they ended up being found and raised in part by a she-wolf. So yeah, unless you're an actual god (and according to all the stories the gods get really really mad when we mortals start going around claiming we're gods) you'd better not ignore the no entry sign.
Brooks also seems to fit the line "A shitload of money" or something very similar in all his movies. Blazing Saddles changed it to "a shitload of dimes" for the toll booth scene. I've always been fond of this one.
List additions: The Distinguished Gentleman (1992) It's an Eddie Murphy comedy; The Secret Secret Life of Walter Mittey (2013) Ben Stiller. Comedy/Drama; The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) Tim Robbins. Comedy/Drama.
Yeah, it's kinda of an inside joke with the sequels, Mel Brooks has always said he always intended to do sequels, it's just when he would sit down the write them he always came up with new concepts and ideas and he said they never were box office hits, so he really didn't know how much of a following his films were building.
@@exceedcharge1 It was his last notable film as a leading actor, after it Nielsen took on a lot of schlock lower-tier work and bit-parts (i.e. his roles in the Scary Movie franchise)
I haven't seen the list, but if its not on it, I would recommend 'Romancing the Stone', with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. A great action-adventure-comedy.
He said history of the world part 2 would have Jews in space. Space balls had a Druish Princess. He said they would meet again in Space balls 2: The search for more money. Robin Hood: Men in Tights, is stealing money from the rich to give to the poor.
Another great video guys. You can't go wrong with Mel Brooks. I find that the funniest movies are those that aren't comedies but are so badly made they're hilarious. You know B-Movies that are soooo bad they're good. Maybe in between the movies on your list you can watch a few of them. Love you guys keep the great videos coming.
Dom DeLuise "In the 1970s and 1980s, he often co-starred with his real-life friend Burt Reynolds.Together they appeared in the films The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
He was also an active voice actor for animated films. He showed up in almost all of Don Bluth's films like "All Dogs Go To Heaven" and "A Troll In Central Park".
Dom DeLuise was in Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II, Smokey and the Bandit II, and has a cameo in The Muppet Movie. He also voiced a number of characters in animated movies, like The Secret of NIMH, Oliver & Company, and the American Tail and All Dogs Go to Heaven series.
That was the same pool that RKO used for Esther Williams movies and swimming scenes. Mel Brooks knew he needed it for History of the World so he bought it.
I love your comment on Hedonism bot! Yes I love Futurama as well! When Caesar is in the bathing vessel that's what I picture! In the start of the French Revolution I was hoping to see your reactions to "Let's end this meeting on a high note..... " I love how you noticed Bearnaise! "Pawn threatens Bishop" Emily: "What?" Then the rest of the chess match, your reaction couldn't have scripted that better! Humperdink? (The Princess Bride) Happy landings "In the name of the people of France" "Fraance" "Fraance" I could just go on!!! I was so excited to see this one!!!
Also the orator of the most deliberately uttered insult designed to get a laugh. Lost all respect for him when he insulted Prince Charles' letter of admiration to him, read aloud to him by Jonathan Ross at the British Comedy Awards. Not because I'm a Royalist (I'm not), but his nasty dismissal of an admirers love for his comedic style seemed a very cheap and spiteful shot and hardly the kind of trick a so called comedic giant would need to stoop too, to get a laugh.
My favourite one of Spike's books, is The Bible according to Spike Milligan. A close second is his version of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Both are great reads.
I think I had more fun watching Emily watch this than I ever had watching it myself... Wait...Trashy Movies that only Emily has seen?! Yes! Hit him, Emily, hit him HARD!!!
Loose Cannons, Smokey & the Bandit II, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Cannonball Run II (a sequel better than the original), Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, & Marty Feldman star in it), The Silence of the Hams, The World's Greatest Lover, Baby Geniuses...
I got rid of my cable and pretty much just watch TH-cam to escape all of the bs in the news and the division. I love your reactions and I was thrilled to see a new one and particularly this gem of a movie.
Even the title is a joke. Sir Walter Raleigh set out to write "The History of the World, Volume 1" but somewhat lost his head before getting any further.
RIP Gregory Hines… You’re a Legend!!! One of the best movie Taps made when Gregory Hines plays the son to Sammy Davis Jr. where together, plus with some of the famous old timer tap dancers, make one of the best iconic scenes in that movie history!!! An Oscar win, for the best motion picture of the year!!! A must watch!!! Love that movie!
Mel Brooks, Zero Mostel (from The Producers) and Dom DeLuise worked together as vaudeville comedians long before Mel started making movies - you can find old skits of theirs on TH-cam, I think.
My fav Mel Brooks trivia nugget is that the character of Buddy Sorrell from The Dick Van Dyke show is largely based on Mel, along with at least one other writer from Sid Ceasers's Show Of Shows.
What I highly recommend for you ist the "Carry on..."-series, like Carry on Cleo, Carry on Cowboy, Carry on don't lose your head, and many more of them. There are about 30 movies of them
No no no no no no yes. No no no no no yes. No no no no no no no no YES! No no no no no no no no no no no no no wait a minute. YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my first time on this channel. Stopped in because this is one of the great movies of all history. My first reaction is Matthew has one of the great Dad Deadpan faces of our time. I'm immensely impressed off of that alone. And God Bless Bea Arthur, Stand Up Philosopher is one of the most versatile insults in the world.
Under the Rainbow (1981) Slapstick comedy set during the making of the Wizard of Oz. This film is like a Matryoshka doll, one surprise nested inside of another, repeating time after time.
Maries father was played by Spike Milligan who was one of the inspirations for the Monty Python gang. One of the funniest men who ever lived. He had "I told you I was ill" on his tombstone!!
Few more Mel Brooks classics - Silent Movie 1975 - Dracula: Dead and loving it 1995 - Get Smart 2008 Unexpected - The Fly 1986 and worst of all - High anxiety 1977
After Gladiator i needed this . I have seen this movie at least 5 times, this is the first time I learned that a young Hugh Heffner was in it . Thank you !!
So I've now seen several of your reaction videos and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. I'd marry Emily solely for watching comedy movies with her. I can just imagine how much I'd laugh just because she's so tickled at lots of funny/stupid/ridiculous moments. Well and she's beautiful too. Anyway keep up the awesome videos. Can't wait for the next one. 😁
You guys should watch The Castle, its a Australian comedy one of the best Australian comedys ever. Its about the vibe, its about mabo, but mainly the vibe, nah thats it your honer its the vibe.
20:52 the Legend, the Godfather of British comedy Spike Milligan! It was impossible to get him to stick to the script. I grew up reading his books, watching his tv series and listening to his radio shows. Most British comedians from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s credit him as their inspiration. I feel Emily, you would get a kick out of his work.
Here's a little factoid for you: Use of the guillotine continued in France in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the last execution by guillotine occurred in 1977. In September 1981, France outlawed capital punishment altogether, thus abandoning the guillotine forever. I was on this Earth-11 years old to be exact when the guillotine was last used That's a bit weird!
Hey what's up i just want to say i luv watching your reactions when u watch movies for the first time ever...anyways i got a list of movies that are classics that u might like....idk if u have seen these movies already but here they are....(1985) once bitten starring Jim Carrey , (1985) back to school starring Rodney Dangerfield , (1987) masters of the universe starring dolph lundern , (1989) earth girls are easy starring geena davis , (1986) howard the duck starring Lea Thompson
I worked for Blockbuster video for about a decade. One of my favorite "dumb customers" was the one who tried his hardest to convince me that there was a "Part II", and we should be ashamed for not carrying it in our store. I told him that if he could bring me a copy, I would give him 14 hundred billion dollars. Never saw that customer again. What a shame.
Oh man, sounds like you're pretty lucky! Finding a friend who makes quality jokes is super rare, they're *PUN-in-a-million! 🤣😂😅😄🙂...😐😶...😖 I'm so sorry. lol Thanks for watching!😉 Cheers, Emily
My favorite line in the moviie is. The old man from the prison, in the palace falls flat on his face and says "What fool put a carpet on the wall??" I laugh every dad gum time :)
I enjoy your videos! And I love your shirt! I have two suggestions for films for you. They're both comedies, but very different. The first is The Producers. It's his first, and he hadn't started doing films that were parodes of other genres. The Producers stand on its own a contemporary comedy of the time. I think it may be his best film. And Gene Wilder is amaging. The other film is Election, by Alexander Payne. It's Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon in the lead roles. It's a really timely comedy, and its pretty dark! I'd love for you to watch and record your reactions to them.
Gregory Hines replaced Richard Pryor who had just set himself on fire. Sid Ceasar who was the main caveman worked with Mel Brooks on the 1950 sketch comedy show, Your Show of Shows. (There is a great compilation called Ten from Your Show of Shows that I highly recommend.) If you are familiar with Alfred Hitchcock films, watch Mel's spoof High Anxiety for much of the same cast. I just picked up a few classic comedies missing off your list. Meatballs, Soap Dish, Foul Play, and if not on the list Murder by Death.
Love Emily's shirt today! Not on The List or your already seen list is a amazing film called 'Harold and Maude." Either of you seen it? cult classic comedy/romance with amazing soundtrack by Cat Stevens
Hi! Thank you, it's one of my favorite shirts 🥰 I haven't seen Harold and Maude (shocking, I know, lol!) but I've added it to the list! Thanks so much for watching and suggesting! Cheers and much love, Emily
Please add The Muppet Movie from 1979 to your list! The humor in it is so much like a Mel Brooks film, only "G" rated. I know that may sound like a contradiction in terms, but Jim Henson made it work!!! It's such a wonderful movie for all ages!!! I know you will appreciate it if you appreciate Mel Brooks movies!!! Anyone else reading this...I beg you please don't spoil anything about the movie! Dom Deluise did a bunch of comedies with Burt Reynolds back in the day. He was in the sequel to Smokey and the Bandit with Burt, unfortunately that movie wasn't too good compared to the first which is excellent! They did a movie together called "The End" which I know I've seen but can't remember a single thing about. And Dom and Burt did the first two Cannonball Run movies together. These movies are as far from fine cinema as you can get but they are so freaking fun!!! The best thing about them are the MASSIVE cast along with cameos. Both movies are full of "OMG... *they're* in this?!!" moments. I think if you added the first Smokey and the Bandit movie and Cannonball Runs I and II, you'd enjoy them a lot, but the only movie I am so hopeful and excited at the idea of you watching is The Muppet Movie. Oh, Dom Deluise was also in a charming comedy-drama called Fatso. It was written and directed by Anne Bancroft and she also stars in it. Anne Bancroft in addition to being a wonderful actress and writer was the wife of Mel Brooks. 20:14 Well I know this dentist he could go to... If Mel Brooks won't make a History of the World, Part 2, I'll just go and make my own dot dot dot with blackjack dot dot dot and hookers!!! Who needs the movie part anyway? Best Regards!!!
So, I just realized I've never actually seen The Muppet Movie! I've seen Muppet Treasure Island (Tim Curry, *swoon*) but never the original 1979 movie. I have added it to the list! Thank you so much for suggesting it! Cheers and much love, Emily 😊
@@JustSUMMReactions thank you so much for adding it! I know you will get a huge kick out of it and it will tickle you right where Mel Brooks films do!!! Best!
"Occupation?"
"Stand-up Philosopher."
"Oh, a bullsh*t artist!"
Great bit
HMMMMMMMMMM...

"No."

Oh that's why he was blind! Hilarious.
Assuming they weren't just laughing at the anachronism.
You guys should do “Johnny Dangerously”. Seems like the humor would be right up your alley.
You’re a FARGON ICEHOLE
I was thinking Mystery Men.
I watched Johnny Dangerously once...
I use "bastage" a lot to get around online censors =)
A forgotten classic if I ever seen one
5:45 Fun fact: the robe that Mel Brooks is wearing for the part of Moses is the exact same robe that Charlton Heston wore when he played the role of Moses in “The Ten Commandments”.
Did Charlton Heston get robbed too?
"Don't be saucy with me..... Bernaise!", may be the funniest delivery in any comedy, ever. Snot rockets and tears, EVERY TIME.
"It's good to be the king."
And I think the phrase you're looking for is skits, the movies is basically a series of skits.
@Al Tee Another word fair to use.
My favorite movie line..."It's good to be the king."
I saw this at the theater as a 13 year old with my dad and when the cavemen became “erect” and the subtitle “Our Forefathers “ came up I thought he was going to die, I had never seen him laugh so hard at a sight gag😂😂
"Let's face it! You can't Torquemada anything!!"
Need to watch cannonball run...Dom Delouise gold!!!!
Oh no... that means they'll have to see... Him!
@@mikejordan8259 Dun, Dun, dunnnnnnn!
He is a voice over in the the Secret of NIMH.
@@robertmartin9029 CAPTAIN CHAOS!
If you're a Dom fan then you should check out a movie called " Hot Stuff " with him & Jerry Reed .
Fun fact. Mel Brooks paid Orson Welles $25,000 to provide the narration and expected it to take 5 days. Welles got it done in less than 3 hours. Brooks said he should have paid him $5,000 a day. :P
Excellent, this and Blazing Saddles are my favorite Mel Brooks movies. Thanks, guys.
* Dom Deluise is best known for his role in the Cannonball Run movies, Captain Chaos!
Kentucky Fried Movie sometime? I'm sure the "Catholic High School Girls In Trouble" sketch will be a winner.
Or Cleopatra Schwartz.
Don't forget " Amazon Women On The Moon "

Rewatching as Nick Kroll said they are working on a sequel to this with Mel Brooks on board. The man is 96 years old (I think) and still working. What a legend
Please be the first who react to "Short Circuit" from 1986 !
Please Yes!
I am standing here beside myself.
For Peter's sake. For sake of Peter.
hey lazer lips! your momma was a snowblower!
The movie Year One w/ Jack Black took a lot of notes from this.
"Walk this way" is a gag from the 1936 movie "After the Thin Man". Mel's a funny guy, but he lifted that particular joke.
9:42 Sorry to spoil the fun but it's Vestal Virgins - like the Roman Goddess Vesta, virgin goddess of the hearth an home, (her Greek counterpart was called Hestia). She was the first born out of the first 6 gods (the next 5 being Ceres/Demeter, Juno/Hera, Pluto/Hades, Neptune/Poseidon, and Jupiter/Zeus) and therefore was the first of the 5 swallowed by their father (Jupiter/Zeus was hidden by their mother before his father could eat him) but was also therefore the last one to be vomited back up so she's both the eldest and the youngest out of them.

So yeah, unless you're an actual god (and according to all the stories the gods get really really mad when we mortals start going around claiming we're gods) you'd better not ignore the no entry sign.
Brooks also seems to fit the line "A shitload of money" or something very similar in all his movies. Blazing Saddles changed it to "a shitload of dimes" for the toll booth scene. I've always been fond of this one.
"Murder by DEath" and "Clue" are two comedies that might be your cup of tea...
Definitely Clue
@@PickleAndy I think she's seen Clue. It's one of my favorite movies.

Emily has GOT to see Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead And Loving It! I mean...Leslie Nielsen as Dracula and Mel Brooks as Van Helsing...what's not to love?
Its also Leslie’s last film before his death
@@exceedcharge1 Is that a joke? Leslie Nielsen was in over twenty movies after Dracula.

It was the last film Brooks directed. On The Producers remake/musical adaption he was just a producer (ironically but appropriately).
I haven't seen the list, but if its not on it, I would recommend 'Romancing the Stone', with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. A great action-adventure-comedy.
Seconded
Follow that up with " War Of The Roses "
He said history of the world part 2 would have Jews in space. Space balls had a Druish Princess. He said they would meet again in Space balls 2: The search for more money. Robin Hood: Men in Tights, is stealing money from the rich to give to the poor.
That...is brilliant. Well done.
Funny, she didn’t look Druish to me
The Rome segment is the best. I sometimes feel the entire film should have just been that.

Dom Deluise was amazing. Always had me rolling as a kid. Love me some Madeline Khan as well. She was up there with Lucy to me.
He was also an active voice actor for animated films. He showed up in almost all of Don Bluth's films like "All Dogs Go To Heaven" and "A Troll In Central Park".
The End is a great underappreciated movie. Don DeLuise is also great in the movie Hot Stuff with Jerry Reid.

14:20 with the swimming nuns is an Esther Williams reference (Million Dollar Mermaid 1952). Very few know that.
That was the same pool that RKO used for Esther Williams movies and swimming scenes. Mel Brooks knew he needed it for History of the World so he bought it.
history of the world pt 2 comes in march i cant wait.. love this movie

You should put "Dark City" on your list.
I hope you mean Dark City 1998 not Dark City 1950 or Dark City 2002.
The imprisoned father was Spike Milligan, one of the Goons and author of the brilliant war memoirs series.
He was also in Monty Pythons The Life of Brian as the old man that kept saying Jehovah.
Also the orator of the most deliberately uttered insult designed to get a laugh. Lost all respect for him when he insulted Prince Charles' letter of admiration to him, read aloud to him by Jonathan Ross at the British Comedy Awards.
Not because I'm a Royalist (I'm not), but his nasty dismissal of an admirers love for his comedic style seemed a very cheap and spiteful shot and hardly the kind of trick a so called comedic giant would need to stoop too, to get a laugh.

I grew up reading his books, watching his tv series and listening to his radio shows. Most British comedians from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s credit him as their inspiration.
I feel Emily, you would get a kick out of his work.
Still miss Gregory Hines! And this is my favorite Mel Brooks movie.
Here's a little factoid for you: Use of the guillotine continued in France in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the last execution by guillotine occurred in 1977. In September 1981, France outlawed capital punishment altogether, thus abandoning the guillotine forever.
I was on this Earth-11 years old to be exact when the guillotine was last used
That's a bit weird!
Caesar’s steward was played by Howie Morris, Ernest T Bass from ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW.

I worked for Blockbuster video for about a decade. One of my favorite "dumb customers" was the one who tried his hardest to convince me that there was a "Part II", and we should be ashamed for not carrying it in our store. I told him that if he could bring me a copy, I would give him 14 hundred billion dollars.
Never saw that customer again. What a shame.
Imagine he comes back with a Blu-Ray disc after Part II is released.
Yay! The Spanish Inquisition has always been my favorite, ever since I was a kid. Finally, someone else appreciates it, too!
Your pun at 14:35 reminds me of one of my friends who makes puns like that all the time lol.
Oh man, sounds like you're pretty lucky!
Finding a friend who makes quality jokes is super rare, they're *PUN-in-a-million!
🤣😂😅😄🙂...😐😶...😖 I'm so sorry. lol
Thanks for watching!😉
Cheers,
Emily
Emily's call back to Monty Python makes me so happy!
Mel, like many directors tends to have the same people in their movies!
I love when Mel breaks the 4th wall.
You guys seem to have the disposition to enjoy any/all of the Chris Guest mockumentaries. Waiting for Guffman would be great to see.
I hope you guys know that History of the World part 2 is out now.
As always, I just loved your reaction. I laugh even harder when I see you two enjoying a good funny film.
Have either of you seen Unbreakable (2000) or Glass (2019)? You may also want to watch Split (2016).
I love Emily’s laugh. Infectious!! She would really laugh at 1941 hint, hint 😉
So I see we're going from one historical docudrama (Gladiator) to another docudrama (HOTW I). I'm preparing to learn a lot with this one. 😆
😂😂😂
Oh please. This is at LEAST a 9.8/10 comedy. Don't even.
Was fun watching with you guys
My favorite line in the moviie is. The old man from the prison, in the palace falls flat on his face and says "What fool put a carpet on the wall??" I laugh every dad gum time :)
Looks like The Croods at the beginning. Best bit would you like to dance?
"It's Good to be the King"! LOL This film is hysterical. They finally made a History of the World Part 2. It is on Hulu.
Also, you could call Matthew "the kama to my sutra" 😜😂
I didn’t even need to watch this video to know that I am going to love it.
You guys have probably both seen it, but "Time Bandits" is a must if one of you hasn't seen it.
How about The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?
I enjoy your videos! And I love your shirt! I have two suggestions for films for you. They're both comedies, but very different. The first is The Producers. It's his first, and he hadn't started doing films that were parodes of other genres. The Producers stand on its own a contemporary comedy of the time. I think it may be his best film. And Gene Wilder is amaging. The other film is Election, by Alexander Payne. It's Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon in the lead roles. It's a really timely comedy, and its pretty dark! I'd love for you to watch and record your reactions to them.
Gregory Hines replaced Richard Pryor who had just set himself on fire. Sid Ceasar who was the main caveman worked with Mel Brooks on the 1950 sketch comedy show, Your Show of Shows. (There is a great compilation called Ten from Your Show of Shows that I highly recommend.) If you are familiar with Alfred Hitchcock films, watch Mel's spoof High Anxiety for much of the same cast.
I just picked up a few classic comedies missing off your list. Meatballs, Soap Dish, Foul Play, and if not on the list Murder by Death.
Love Emily's shirt today! Not on The List or your already seen list is a amazing film called 'Harold and Maude." Either of you seen it? cult classic comedy/romance with amazing soundtrack by Cat Stevens
Hi! Thank you, it's one of my favorite shirts 🥰
I haven't seen Harold and Maude (shocking, I know, lol!) but I've added it to the list!
Thanks so much for watching and suggesting!
Cheers and much love,
Emily
"Seize this, honkus!" is one of the best insults in movie history. 😆
Emily.... Just love that T-shirt!!
Please add The Muppet Movie from 1979 to your list! The humor in it is so much like a Mel Brooks film, only "G" rated. I know that may sound like a contradiction in terms, but Jim Henson made it work!!! It's such a wonderful movie for all ages!!! I know you will appreciate it if you appreciate Mel Brooks movies!!!
Anyone else reading this...I beg you please don't spoil anything about the movie!
Dom Deluise did a bunch of comedies with Burt Reynolds back in the day. He was in the sequel to Smokey and the Bandit with Burt, unfortunately that movie wasn't too good compared to the first which is excellent!
They did a movie together called "The End" which I know I've seen but can't remember a single thing about.
And Dom and Burt did the first two Cannonball Run movies together. These movies are as far from fine cinema as you can get but they are so freaking fun!!! The best thing about them are the MASSIVE cast along with cameos. Both movies are full of "OMG... *they're* in this?!!" moments.
I think if you added the first Smokey and the Bandit movie and Cannonball Runs I and II, you'd enjoy them a lot, but the only movie I am so hopeful and excited at the idea of you watching is The Muppet Movie.
Oh, Dom Deluise was also in a charming comedy-drama called Fatso. It was written and directed by Anne Bancroft and she also stars in it. Anne Bancroft in addition to being a wonderful actress and writer was the wife of Mel Brooks.
20:14 Well I know this dentist he could go to...
If Mel Brooks won't make a History of the World, Part 2, I'll just go and make my own dot dot dot with blackjack dot dot dot and hookers!!! Who needs the movie part anyway?
Best Regards!!!
So, I just realized I've never actually seen The Muppet Movie! I've seen Muppet Treasure Island (Tim Curry, *swoon*) but never the original 1979 movie. I have added it to the list! Thank you so much for suggesting it!
Cheers and much love,
Emily 😊
@@JustSUMMReactions thank you so much for adding it! I know you will get a huge kick out of it and it will tickle you right where Mel Brooks films do!!!
Best!
