Mel Brooks' intention was to show us just how stupid racism really is. I think he succeeded. What a fun movie to watch.
Exactly Right. In the Eighties and Nineties the comedians and the movie makers did everything in a manner to make fun of the ridiculousness of racism. And it was successful to a good degree - there were more and more interracial marriage at that time than ever. What some people Miss is that what the IDIOTS calling the group of Black Men the "N" word stereotyping them and how horrible that is because they are so insulted by it ---well Brooks is also making FUN OF the people doing the name calling and putting them in a stereotype as well - in this movie he mocks politicians, and every race and every group
He did a great job of that.
This movie was a great satire.
All the people that were racist, were morons. The only "smart" people, were those fighting against racism; Sheriff Bart, and the Waco Kid.
And yes, Mel Brooks had to use all the racist terms, to really drive home the fact.
(Also, Richard Pryor was part of the writing team)
Can'tbe made again, a classic.
All In The Family was in the same vein. Making fun of bigotry can be both entertaining and developmental.
Mel Brooks said he gets a lot of sh*t about the horse than anything else that happens in the movie. The horse was a trained stunt horse that could fall on command. If you look closely you don't actually see Alex Karras's fist connect with the horse from the camera angle. That horse deserves an Oscar.
THAT'S BECAUSE MEL BROOKS AND SLIM PICKENS WERE STAUNCH ANIMAL ACTIVISTS AND MADE SURE THE HORSES WERE WELL CARED FOR
Meanwhile, Sam Peckinpah was out there rackin up a horse kill count to make great movies.
That sh*t still happens. A kid falls into a gorilla enclosure and the world is more concerned about the gorilla!
My Jamaican uncle introduced me to this movie.
Still one of my favourites.
The line always cracks me up “To tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.”
😂
I think mine has to be "where the white women at?" Because of the combination of the way he says it, the look on his face, and Gene holding onto him and then they both cartoonishly duck behind the rock. It all just combines together into the perfect delivery that without the context it wouldn't be funny at all but in the movie it is hilarious.
My favorite is probably still "You know...morons."
But my two second favorites are "No, no...don't do that...if you shoot him, you'll just make him mad."
and... "Little bastard shot me in the ASS!"
All good. I would include, "Excuse me while I whip this out!"
@@Cheepchipsable Yeah...that one is one of the 150 lines I have tied for third place LOLOLOLOLOL along with "Let us pay heed to this good book and what it has to say!? BLAM Son...you're on your own!" and 148 others. 😁
My favorite scene is the one where the old drunk is on the roof yelling, "The sheriff is a n*BONG*"
"You're not a pawn, Mongo" - honestly I think that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard (in a Blazing Saddles reaction).
#fact
I'm not even that old but feel ancient when NOBODY gets the "laurel and hardy handshake" line anymore.
I AM that old and have just accepted it.
I'm also that old, I've only seen one reactor who got it.
Nobody gets the "Hedy/Hedley Lamarr" joke, either. We're all too old for that one by now.
I don't think too many people get that the Indian Chief is speaking Yiddish, at least they don't comment on it. I don't think they pick up on Lili von Shtupp's "Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome" which is an allusion to the brilliant musical "Cabaret." There are so many little details like that.
Mel Brooks said that the film was supposed to insult everyone. One of his crew said, "Well, I'm Irish and I'm not insulted." So Brooks added the bit about the town not wanting the Irish just to make him happy. Also, one of the contributors to the screenplay was Richard Prior.
Long time ago, I had two friends come over from Ireland with newly acquired green cards. Both of the ladies were in their early to mid 20s, and one was a big fan of American western films. When I found they had never seen Blazing Saddles, I sat them down to watch it on VHS tape. (That dates my story a bit!) I had totally forgotten about that line, so when "we don't want the Irish" was spoken, the three of us fell off the sofa from laughter. I couldn't have planned it and gotten a better reaction.
actually, the Irish were badly discriminated against during that time, primarily because they were predominately Catholic in a society that was almost fully protestant
@@VirtualBabe29 No Irish Need Reply. ;-)
This movie is a satire of old westerns, and uses comedy to show the ridiculousness of racism, and of course the that racist people are stupid. One of the best comedies ever.
Wait, you don't actually think Mel Brooks isn't "ray cyst", do you?
Every movie Mel Brooks ever made had an underlying current of anti-racism in it. It seems that the funnier the movie was, the stronger the anti-racism message was.
Some people might say this movie is divisive, but I say otherwise. Racists can enjoy the racism, those who aren’t racist can enjoy the ridicule of racists. See? There’s something for everyone in this movie. 😉
@@0okaminoit's difficult for younger people to watch this. They've been TRAINED to not laugh when something is FUNNY.
Luckily, I grew up with this movie and I understand it was a different time, and we appreciate the HUMOUR behind the movie, mainly because, when the HUMOUR POLICE tried to tell us what we could and couldn't laugh at, we rightly responded with...FU!!!😅
When they sing "I Get A Kick Out of You", it's a joke, because that song hadn't been written until 1936, and the movie is set in the late 1800's. On top of that, they sang in a style that didn't exist in that time, either. It's a joke that never lands with anyone born after 1990.
@paulohernanndizz3506 You're the exception and not the rule, and I applaud you for it.
And on top of that, think about the literal meaning of the title and who's singing to who. 😆
Hey, Bart and the Railroad Workers were very ahead of their time as a crooner group. Lyle just couldn’t appreciate their sophisticated sound.
Also "Camptown Ladies" was written by the great American songwriter Stephen Foster in 1850 for the minstrel shows of the time. A minstrel show consisted of half-a-dozen white men in blackface sitting on straight-back chairs, arranged in a row across the stage. They would sing such songs accompanied by banjoes, tambourines, and "spoons," pausing ever so often for a two-line joke in a stereotypical dialect. In other words, there could not be a more offensive song to ask the track workers to sing.
@@johnnehrich9601 And to expand on that slightly, it also highlights the ignorance of the people requesting the songs, who apparently see no difference between an African-American spiritual and a minstrel song.
Mel Brooks' movies are always insanely silly. He was not only the governor, but he also played the Indian Chief. Gene Wilder and Madelyn Kahn were also iconic during the 70s/80s comedy films. Always loved this movie. I saw it back in the 70s in the theatre. It was a huge box office hit. I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the great reaction! ✌💙✌
So well edited. So often when I watch reactions to this movie I think "How could you not include that line?” But you two nailed it.
....I saw this in the theater as a kid....back in a day when we could laugh at ourselves..... Peace!
I wondered how much you'd like this satire. But, it was fun that you got such a kick out of it. I particularly liked when you asked, "Why don't they just go around?" Response... "because they're dumb!" Also, "Why does he call them boys?" You two are so much fun to watch movies with!
Thank you for reacting to this one. 🎞😆💜🖤
Why do we call you two guys when we say you guys did great.
There are a lot of cultural references from the 70's in here. The bull having yes and no on it's rear was making fun of a safety initiative where school buses had stickers on each side of its rear end to remind people which side to pass on so you wouldn't pass on the right or "door side" of the bus where kids are getting on. Now you cant pass a bus on either side when loading and unloading. That's just one example of cultural reference from the time.
Absolutely! Also, the reference to the many Johnsons, and to the now defunct hotel chain Howard Johnsons, which were once just as numerous.
Not many people know about the 'yes' 'no' bus thing or are alive to remember it. How did you know about it?
@@aquatus1Johnson is also a slang word for dick. Hence everyone in town were Johnsons(dicks).
@aquatus1 Before it was a hotel chain, Howard Johnson's was a restaurant chain famous for its "28 Flavors" of ice cream. That's why Howard Johnson's ice cream parlor in this movie had a sign that said "One Flavor."
The one reference that nobody seems to notice is the scene where the man and the horse are about to be hung. It was a reference to the saying "F-U & the horse you rode in on". I have yet to find someone who caught that.
When the film was originally released back in the 70s, the Indian chief -- played by director Mel Brooks -- was pictured prominently in print ads. If you looked closely enough, you could see thar the beadwork on his headdress read "KOSHER FOR PASSOVER" in Hebrew.
Great reaction, so glad you laughed understanding it’s satire. It was one of the most effective tools in exposing the idiocy of racism. As for the comment on the Irish, they was a lot of hate for the Irish in the early days. There were actually signs in shop windows saying Irish need not apply.
I lost it when he took himself hostage!!!! Still funny after all these years....lol
One of my all time faves!!! The toll booth gets me every time... Great reaction! Keep it up!
13:23 You've got to love the on-screen _chemistry_ between Bart and Jim. Right now, they're just relating their _backstories._ There's _really_ nothing about this scene that contributes anything _else_ to this story, but it's so cool, because they have _chemistry_ between them.
its funny that pryor was supposed to be the sheriff but him and wilder did other movies together anyway
There are so many old nuanced references to American cinema and culture here, that for the two of you to still find the movie funny shows how good the movie is. Timeless.
Mr. Brooks is a comedy genius.
He poked at everyone equally.
His portrayal of the idiocy of racism by using comedy is something that will survive the ages.
Little known facts about Mr. Brooks are his Alma Mater is the Virginia Military Institute and he served in the US Army Air Corp (the predecessor to the US Air Force) during WWII from 1944 to 1946.
Also, I really like how many times the 4th wall is shattered in this movie.
Especially towards the end.
This movie also made cinematic history.
Never before had farting been shown on the big screen.
It was considered very rude and uncouth.
When Mr. Brooks informed the actor who was to fart first what the scene was about the actor almost walked off the set because he was afraid he would be blackballed in Hollywood for doing the scene.
It took some serious negotiating by Mr. Brooks to get the actor to stay and do the scene.
Gene Wilder was drafted in the 1950s and also served in the US Army, but in the medical corps. He was stationed in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
The Legend of the Lone Ranger is based on Bass Reeves, an African American who was a US Deputy Marshall and served for over 30 years. I just find that interesting.
One of the people Reeves took into custody was his own son wanted for murder. They were going to send a couple other Rangers to find him but Reeves told them in no uncertain terms that he would be the one bringing his son in and so he did
Thanks. I didn't know that. I know that much of the cowboy lore was originally created by Mexicans, including many slang terms like "buckaroo." And many slaves moved west after the Civil War, yet in both cases their heritage was whitewashed out in the Hollywood depictions.
The idea of a black sheriff in a film was so radical at the time this movie was made when it was extremely rare to just see ANY black in a Western, and it was extremely rare to have a black man in the lead
Bass did exist. However, it is debatable about the Lone Ranger. . Since the bass I heard about did not wear a mask. To bass it was all about the job.
Fun fact: comedian/actor Richard Pryor co-wrote this movie along with Mel Brooks. Mel wanted him to olay Sheriff Bart but for whatever reason that didn’t happen.
I’m okay with that because Cleavon Little did such a great job in the role. He and Gene Wilder, in this film, are one of my all time favorite “buddy movie” pairings. A great duo.
And Gene Wilder went on to do several movies where he was paired with Richard Pryor whenever we want to see them together.
Mel Brooks was also the Indian Chief.😁
And he spoke in a Yiddish accent. (Many of his family members had died in the Holocaust so he was always fighting against prejudice.)
Yiddish ACCENT?! That was actual Yiddish
@@janna2245 Okay.
@@janna2245 I grew up in NYC, and we all know some Yiddish. Yep, I knew what "Chief Mel" was saying even at 16 when I first saw Blazing Saddles (does anyone one else but me get that's "BS"?)
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523
"Let 'em goooo!"
"We don't want the Irish" line us based in fact. There was a lot of prejudice against them in the old days. Now, here's the twist. I'm of French Canadian descent, and my ancestors emigrated to Rhode Island to work in the mills, which WERE owned by Irish American families, and THOSE families/owners discriminated against the French Canadians, and tried to impose all kinds of restrictions. In any case, Mel did a great job of shining a light on how any kind of prejudice is ridiculous.
Wonderful reaction. This satire was very controversial at the time, but its message is timeless. A truly brilliant way to tackle bigotry, and yet another reminder why free speech is so important.
Le Petomane was a French Burlesque performer around the time the movie was set, or a little after. He was a flatulist, that is, someone who could pass gas on command, and he was quite popular in Europe.
It is a funny, and fitting, name to give the Governor.
Yes, he even did royal command performances. Not many people know about him. Did you do a search for the Gov's name or did you already know about him?
@@kurtn4819 I've known about him for a long time. It was probably in the 90s on History Channel or a PBS show, a very short clip that mentioned Le Petomane. The clip was less than a minute and actually had a few seconds of the only known film/sound footage of him.
Yeah I think I've seen that one too a while back. 99% of the people who've seen this film don't know the reference.
For some reason the line that cracks me up the most is when he comes in shouting "What in the wide, wide world of sports...!!"
Though, if you didn't know that "The Wide, Wide World of Sports " was a TV show in the 70s, the joke gets lost.
He rode a blazing saddle. The sheriff is a n🔔! As steady as a rock. Yeah, but I shot with this hand. 😅 I love this movie.😂
Don't forget the "Laurel and Hardy" handshake. That takes it back to the 30s. And "but I shoot with this hand" is such a classic.
The opening song was sung by Frankie Lane, a well-known western singer. Mel Brooks advertised for a Frankie Laine type singer and Laine offered to do it. Since he didn’t know this was a satire, Brooks was careful not to mention it. Laine recorded it like it was for a serious movie so if he sounds in earnest, that is why.
The song was nominated for a Best Song Oscar. It lost to that horrible "There's got to be a morning after" song from the Poseidon Adventure. I was so pissed off by that back then. and I still am!@@jimglenn6972
3:21 "Look at him on the horse. You're hanging the horse, too?"
Horses are _famous_ for being _hung,_ you know.
"The Sheriff is near."
"NO GodfriGGINdamnIT!!! The Sheriff is A NI(DING!!!!)!!"
those who have watched the Carol Burnette show in the past, Harvy Korman was a regular on the show, and could not always keep a straight face when the funniest jokes came up, which makes him a great comedian
In the scene where Sheriff Bart is telling his story, the Indians who confronted the family were led by Chief Mel Brooks, and the Chief spoke Yiddish, which is a European language spoken by Jews. When the warrior wanted to attack, the Chief said, "No, no, not now, it's crazy!" Then, in English with a heavy accent, "Cop a walk." "Have you ever seen in your life? They're Darker than us!"
Discovered this channel a couple of days ago from your Interstellar reaction. This should be a good reaction.
❤️❤️
I ALWAYS look forward to your reactions. You always do great editing, that leaves in all the pertinent parts to keep the plot intact, and also keep all the "great lines" of the movie. Great sound-balancing too. Keep 'em coming.👍
My favorite part about people watching this film is that, almost universally, we can all agree that Cleavon Little looks *sharp* in that sheriff outfit.
Hedley Lamar, the villain of the story was named after Hedy Lamar, a well admired actress. She caught wind that the film was being made with the "use" or better yet, a parody of her name. Mel Brooks said, "She's Hedy Lamar! Pay her! She was in Algiers with Charles Boyer!" He then said, "Can we meet her?!"
Thus the joke wrote itself. "This is 1874! You'll be able to sue _her!_"
I have a lot of respect for Hedy Lamarr, who was quite accomplished in many ways. I think it was petty of her to sue them over the jokes on her name though. "Algiers" is a pretty good movie by the way.
It’s a shame Cleavon Little, the actor that played Bart, isn’t more of a household name. Cause he is a terrific actor.
He died fairly young, I think.
@@cynthiaivers1708 you are right Cleavon Little died of Colon cancer in 1992 at the age of 53 which even at that time was considered quite young.
The character of Mongo was played by former NFL player Alex Karris. He later went on to play the Dad in the TV show "Webster".
My favorite lines are: " Well, can't you see that's the last act of a desperate man?"
"We don't care if it's the first act of Henry V...." 🤣🤣🤣
fun fact: WB asked the fart scene not be in. Mel said "Okay" then ran it anyway lol
it was the first time a fart joke was used in a movie.
25:31 Jessy Owens embarrassed hilter at the Olympics in 1930 something
@atheos19 thank you. Couldn't remember the year
Hitler*
The '36 Olympics were held in Berlin and Hitler was anxious to showcase the superiority of what he called the Aryan race. Instead Owens won medal after medal (four) in many of the track and field events, and Hitler had to personally award him each medal. (Instead Hitler left the ceremony.) Just found out that Owens was so popular that he was asked to wear the forerunner of the Adidus sneaker, the first time an African-American was asked to sponsor a product.
"Lets play chess" Sheriff Bart
"Morons" Jim
Best lines
Rarely does a "Blazing Saddles" edit include my fav (obviously Richard Pryor) line. "Don't mess with the brother's FINE!"
This movie, along with Space Balls is my top favorite movies.
There was many script writers involved in making this movie, including Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor. Enjoyed your reaction.
Mel Brooks is one of my favorite directors! Maybe you could watch "Young Frankenstein", a comedy directed by him and starring Gene Wilder.
I second that!
I second that second!!
Unfortunately one of the punchlines that was written by Richard Pryor was successfully censored by Warner Bros. When Lili Von Shtupp says "Is it twue the way you people are....gifted? Oh... its twue, its twue!" Bart was supposed to reply with "Uh, ma'am? Youre sucking on my arm"
EDIT: also, for reference, white folks of non-Irish descent (particularly of English descent) used to discriminate againt people of Irish descent pretty heavily in the US. (The English in Britain do still discriminate against the Irish, but thats another matter entirely)
Might be Mel Brooks's best movie, though I'm partial to Spaceballs, for childhood reasons. Richard Pryor was co-writer, and he was supposed to play the sheriff. In case you don't know about Pryor (because you're young), he was a very famous stand-up and an actor in the 70's and 80's. Pryor and Wilder (Waco Kid) did a bunch of movies together and I'd recommend Silver Streak (1976) especially.
Young Frankenstein is another great Mel Brooks movie of this time.
A true classic.
Cleavon Little had such a beautiful smile.
It was written by Mel Brooks and RIchard Pryor. Mel Brooks spoof of Star Wars is brilliant, it is called Spaceballs and is very very funny!!!
Your mini-review stating “”It’s just giggles” is perfect. I saw it when it was released and am amazed at how well it holds up. Some of the language would be seen as offensive if it was made today (as evidenced by your editing), but its good intentions and its focus on silliness keeps it in the category of classic comedies.
The language was offensive when the film was made.
One of the main things Mel Brooks wanted to offend everybody.
Such a great channel, LOVE watching y'all's reactions. Thanks for the laughs ✌️
You ladies are as funny as the movie😅
❤️
9:00
Yes, the one and only Count Basie and his band.
Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor wrote this film in the early 1970’s. They didn’t hold back on the corny, slapstick comedy or anything else for that matter. Degrading everyone from whites, blacks, native Americans basically everyone that walks on two legs😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing the video post ladies. God bless ❤
Nice reaction. Mel Brooks is definitely one of my favorites. Would suggest you both "hystory of the world" from him :D
Your reactions are PRICELESS! 🤠
❤️
@@JynxRyl I have just Subscribed as I enjoyed your intelligent reaction Ladies.
Mel Brooks was,also,the Indian Chief who let those people in their Wagon Train through.
its a funny little joke that the school teacher of the town isnt good at public speaking when you consider there are no kids in the town.
That one man can go to the afterlife saying he was “ Hung like a horse”
There was a popular actress in the 40's named Heddy Lamar which is the basis for the recurring gag with Hedley Lamar's name.
Not just an actress, she came up with the idea of what became bluetooth.
Thanks for another great reaction, you two are wonderful.
Glad y'all enjoyed this film. Many people back then didn't even know Mel Brooks is Jewish. The film's premise is to make fun of racism and racists especially. It had a Star studded cast with most being well established comedians. The guy who played Mongo was a NFL Pro hall of famer. The cowboy at the beginning, "can't be more 'den ahunderd fourteen!", he was already a famous western actor.
In the scene where Gene Wilder is comforting Cleavon Little after his debacle with the elderly lady, when Gene said, "You know. Morons." Cleavon actually broke character. That was Cleavon laughing at the joke, not the sheriff. It fit so well in the moment, Mel kept it in the final cut.
The gentleman who was to give "a laurel and hearty handshake" as the sheriff arrived, the actor was the boss of Tom Selleck's 'Magnum P.I.'.
Thats a Laurel and Hardy (Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy - an early slapstick comedy duo) handshake.
@@aaronbredon2948 ha, could be
"What is this?" This is the greatest comedy of all time. No reason to be shocked or offended about anything in it. It is funny how you take some scenes so literal and serious and don't necessarily understand the joke.
They got this movie extremely well! Especially considering age and native country
Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote Blazing Saddles with Richard Pryor. Awesome movie.
Hedy Lamarr was a famous actress years ago. So Hedley is a play on her name.
A lot of reactions to this film leave out the circling of the wagon and Mel Brooks' Yiddish Indian chief scene. So glad you kept it in. One of the funniest parts of the movie!
This is going to be fire!
0:43 "They sound _good."_
Yes, but they're sounding good performing a song that was first composed and performed by Frank Sinatra in the 1934 Broadway musical _Anything Goes._ This movie is set in 1874, about 60 years _ahead_ of it.
Cole Porter wrote "I get a kick out of you." Frank Sinatra was one of many, many people who covered it. He didn't sing it in the original musical - he first sang it in the 1950s. And yes, this is one of hundreds of intentional anachronisms in the movie.
Hard to believe that of all the main characters, the only one living is Mel Brooks. The Mayor/ Indian Chief, and the Director of the film.
One of the greatest and funniest films of Mel's
Breaks my heart that nobody ever gets the Laurel and Hardy handshake line...
Mel Brookes missed a good marketing for the movie. Having it starring Cleavon LITTLE and Gene WILDER, the tag line should of been ... Things just got a LITTLE WILDER.
That is very creative. But what he did use, "Never Give a Saga an Even Break" was ideal.
Good one! Never heard anyone ever come up with that before.
Your reactions were great. Loved your facial expressions 😄
One of the best (and smartest) comedies in my opinion.
Mel wasn't only the governor, he was also the Indian chief. He and Richard Pryor wrote the script. Did you recognize "Willy Wonka", aka Gene Wilder as the gunslinger? Great movie, great review. Subbed.
Do what he say do what he saaaay!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mel Brooks co-wrote with Richard Pryor who was going to play Bart until he had legal troubles and had to step back.
I'm glad you guys laughed a lot, but man, you took a lot of it so seriously. LOL. The way you were analyzing why things were happening, instead of just accepting it as a joke...you guys are too much. Anyway, really enjoyed your reaction, and hope you continue to watch more American comedies, particularly old ones.
Mel Brooks also played the Indian Chief and a person on line waiting to sign up to destroy Rock Ridge
Most people don't get the "Laurel and Hardy" handshake joke...
Maybe I'm just old 😢😢😂😂
People need to rediscover Laurel and Hardy. The sooner the better.
The movie is satire and parody. I see that you ladies were confused at the humor quite a bit during this reaction. You were taking some of the zany scenes a lil' too seriously by trying to apply logic...LMAO. The style of comedy is not just 'parody'...it's like a live-action cartoon (such as Bugs Bunny etc). Anyway, many commenters already explained what the movie is about, so I won't go into extra detail. But although this movie was long before my time, and as a black man, I still consider 'Blazing Saddles' to be one of the top 5 greatest comedies ever in cinematic history. This is a classic!!!
The chemistry between Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder in this movie is top notch
Hard to believe what it would be like with Mel Brooks’ original choice for The Waco Kid, John Wayne.
The famous "you know...morons!" line was improvised by Gene Wilder. :)
Just before 1:15 he rides in and says what in the wide wide world of sports is going on here.
"The Wide Wide World of Sports" was before ESPN.
The indian chief was played by Mel Brooks. And he was speaking Yiddish, which is not a Native American language. He let the black family go because he knew the whites were prejudice, so he was giving them a break.
As you noticed, a running gag in the movie is ... the more racist a person is, the dumber they are. Not sure if that is a gag, it is more a point that the movie is trying to make, but in a funny way.
The sheriff is near!
Thank you for reaction. I'm enjoying it. If you want to see another satirical comedy, try Dr. Strangelove. It's about a potential nuclear war btw USA and USSR. The movie's focus is about two men in a bunker with nuclear missiles and a plane sent to drop nuclear bombs on USSR. There also other smaller stories.
27:36 "They could just go around."
Well, yes. Technically, they don't _have_ to make their way through the toll booth. But that booth, (ostensibly) is the idea of Governor Le _Petomane,_ on whose behalf they're _acting,_ so that wouldn't really be proper.
Mel Brooks played both the governor and the Indian chief. The chief is speaking in Yiddish.
_Blazing Saddles_ is a movie about racism. The entire point of the movie is that racism is stupid. More specifically, _Blazing Saddles_ is about the racism that was evident in Western movies and television at the time. One of the forms that racism took was in the hiring of Jews to play Indians, based on the stereotype that Jews have swarthy skin. Since Mel Brooks is Jewish, and lost most of his family in the Holocaust, there was no way that he was going to leave Jews out of this movie, hence the Indian chief, who was, indeed, played by a Jew.
Great reaction, ladies. Allow me to extend a Laurel and Hardy handshake...
"That's the end of this suit."
I love these old comedies. They're extremely unafraid XD.
You two are so cute together!!
Fun one, Ladies! 😄
0:30 It was 117 the other day here in Phoenix...
You’re analyzing a comedy
That in itself is hilarious.
8:16 "can't you see that that man is a ni..." and then he repeats the exact same phrase - he was actually calling Bart a Ni. Nothing else, just a ni. Which is very funny to me.
Now that you have been introduced to Mel Brooks, his movie “Young Frankenstein” MUST be reviewed. You ladies will love it.
the man on the horse is a reference to Hung like a horse
Love you girls. New subscriber. I hit the bell and the like
