It only took a hundred and fifty-six years, but finally a Frankenstein is able to see his Creature as a child in need of love... goddamn, I love this movie.
This scene is the wish fulfillment for every generation of the novel's fans. Although the film itself is a parody, its always moving to see the Creature finally meet acceptance from his creator albeit in the most hilarious way.
I love that even though this movie is a comedy, it still has really raw lines like "Together you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire!" and his whole speech right before conducting the initial experiment.
"Hello handsome " has aged like fine wine. I was a teenager when I first saw this, and it was good for a laugh. And like all teenagers, you just don't have the capacity to truly appreciate the finer things. Dozens of rewatches over the years and it gets better and better. Those 2 simple words became pure gold in this delivery. And I'm not sure there's anybody else I can think of that could've match Gene Wilder's perfection here. True legend. RIP.
@RiceBerg - What's funny is that Wilder improvised the call back of Madeline Kahn's "Hello Handsome" line from Blazing Saddles (is that a 10 gallon hat...) when he forgot the line, and this just popped into his head. Peter Boyle was actually surprised, but didn't miss a beat and just went with it. LOL Genius talent.
And this is why Fredrik got a happy ending; unlike Victor he didn't reject his creation. "Young Frankenstein" is more than just a hillarious parody, which it is, and a loving tribute to the 30s Universal horror movies, which it also is. It is imo the best Frankenstein movie made.
Yep. It asks the pivotal question: what if Frankenstein had a heart? What if he didn't reject his creation? It's hilarious, but it's also a genuinely good and satisfying sequel because of that aspect.
Who else but Mel Brooks can come up with a speech like this that renders Fredrik's frightening creation into a very big baby? He talks the creature into submission with kindness and praise! Who didn't tear up seeing Peter Boyle's character break down crying?
You know it’s masterclass comedy gold when you can watch it over and over through the years, and it’s just as hilarious each and every time. Love, love Gene Wilder.
No other actor expresses comedic panic, hysteria, and outrage as well as Gene Wilder! This, "The Producers", "Hanky Panky" among others - all hilarious.
"Get me out of here. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What the hell's the matter with you people, I was joking!.. " Wilder is so awesome.
Where's his Oscar nomination?? I mean come on... this is an incredible blend of comedy and sincere emotion, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Who else could have pulled this off. His entire performance is genius.
I think this is part of why the film is so good and so funny. There's a sincerity to it, a genuine love for what it's parodying. Frankenstein's freakout is funny, but his over-the-top love for his creation is even funnier.
On top of how brilliant it is as a comedy, this is a fantastic looking movie. That they spent so much care getting the look right really adds to the overall effect.
_nice working with you_ ... the best line in the whole film, performed with Marty's usual genius. This scene illustrates the brilliance of the film's b/w lighting, without which it just wouldn't fly. The lighting director was an unnamed star.
No way is that line funnier than the "Abbey Someone" lines. "I believe that was the name" - pure hilarity. And when he quotes at the breakfast table the thing his Dad always used to say to him during tough times.
This scene is subconscious instructions for self actualization. I do not think it was done intentionally. Dr Frankenstein must confront the worst parts of himself ( the monster), and say “ despite a person’s flaws, everyone has a transcendental potential to achieve greatness”. The next part of the instructions being to put your potential to use. He tells the monster he is going to teach him to think, and talk, and walk, and make a contribution to science. He then casts off his mispronounced name in an act of self actualization , exclaiming “ My name is Frankenstein!”. Those are the instructions. 1. Acknowledge your potential despite you flaws 2. Put it to good use 3. This will lead to a proud, and fulfilled identity.
This is just like the climax of Act 2 of an play, with Gene Wilder's brilliant "My name is FRANKENSTEIN!!" marking the intermission and the audience eager for more.
Peter Boyle was starting to lose the prosthetic eyebrow ridges and bald cap as Gene Wilder was grasping his head, you can see him starting to look into the camera while Wilder was finishing his speech with a "WTF?" expression. But to his credit he stayed in character and finished the scene. Brilliant acting from both gentlemen. 💯
One of my personal favorite scenes of all time. Very moving and just gets you going and feeling as if you can accomplish anything. Something an audience can relate to. RIP The Iconic, Legendary, Gene Wilder. The Williest of Wonkas and Youngest of Frankenstiens.
See, no offense to Mary Shelley, I know the story wouldn’t exist without her, but this version is my favorite. What can I say? I love my sad, deep, artsy-fartsy stuff but this is lovely.
@@Eva-uw6uoMary Shelley never made a "version" as you put it. She wrote the original story on which every "version" is based. No film has ever really captured the story in its totality.
@@SpeccyMan yeah. the original version. the first version. the initial version. the true version. There's literally no reason in my mind why version doesn't count, the source material is the first version- or sometimes the second or third if it had drafts prior that change over the years like Hunchback of Notre Dame, but in Mary Shelly's case it's the first version- at least to our knowledge, unless she had rough drafts lying around prior. I will agree however that ot has never been adapted properly, even Junji Ito's take isn't perfect as faithful as it was for a comic.
Truth be told, the brilliance of Mary Shelley’s story is that it’s actually an allegory about how an artist can grow to hate his or her own creation, especially if it becomes more famous than the artist. If the work of art were animate, it would try to understand why the artist rejected it and lash out from those feelings of rejection. So in Shelly’s imagination, Frankenstein’s Monster could be the work of art that an artist might produce that is so popular that he or she might never be able to top it and it takes on a life of its own.
@@outpost31mac And I'm not sure whether Mel or Gene intended it, but the whole of the story is a good metaphor for Jewish Americans hiding their heritage for the purpose of assimilation, and rising above that intolerance to accept your ancestry and who you are in the present.
This in fact is the action that the original Frankenstein failed to provide the monster. Had Frankenstein simply provided moral support and education the monster would not have been the creature of Destruction he was portrayed as.
![Proof that Science is NEVER settled, see what's healthy in 2173 [Sleeper 1973] Lol](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fey0U-yuTHw/mqdefault.jpg)
The constrained panic in his voice when he says “let me out, let me out of here, get me the hell out of here” such comedic brilllance
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE I WAS JOKING!!!!!
The genius of Wilder.
I know, right? I miss Gene Wilder.😢🙏🏻 Remember him from Blazing Saddles?! Now there was a riot in comic relief!😂🍿
This comedic brilliance will lead to breaking color barriers with four movies with him and Richard Pryor
It only took a hundred and fifty-six years, but finally a Frankenstein is able to see his Creature as a child in need of love... goddamn, I love this movie.
This scene is the wish fulfillment for every generation of the novel's fans. Although the film itself is a parody, its always moving to see the Creature finally meet acceptance from his creator albeit in the most hilarious way.
I don't even think it counts as parody - I think it's a totally legit take on the novel, just done as a comedy.
The novel broke my heart (in a weirdly good way) and this film heals it 🥰
"Do you want to talk about physical strength? Do you want to talk about sheer muscle? Do you want to talk about THE OLYMPIAN IDEAL? YOU ARE A GOD!!"
*MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!*
Gotta love how that Gene Wilder can bounce between being a large ham and a soft-spoken delicate man absolutely seemlessly.
Gene wilders hair should’ve been nominated for a supporting actor award
I love that even though this movie is a comedy, it still has really raw lines like "Together you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire!" and his whole speech right before conducting the initial experiment.
When he yells "Mommy," I am just gone... every single time.
"This is a nice boy. This is a good boy."
I love this scene so much. And have quoted that many times.
This is a mother's angel. Hahahahaha

The way it turns from slapstick comedy to touching melodrama in a moment is unlike anything I've seen in any other movie

@chestermarcol3831 I did not know that. That is awesome context, thanks!
This is, word for word, me parenting my teenage son. I have literally quoted this to him during hard times. He loved it and had a good laugh.
Lol, I think you have a knack for humour.
Thanks for being a great parent. Our children need it. God Bless You Both
That's a great idea! I love it! Very cute, funny and effective.
That's hilarious. Great approach.
the mental image someone reenacting this scene as they go into a teenager’s bedroom is pretty damn funny
“Open this goddamned door, I’ll kick your rotten heads in!” Seen this a thousand times and that part still makes me piss myself laughing.
Dan Echebarria MOMMYYYYY!!!!
_NEIN!_
I mean, really, the "Mommy!" immediately after is the icing on the cake.
Right? Funniest line ever!
My thoughts exactly. Best line in the whole scene.
And this is why Fredrik got a happy ending; unlike Victor he didn't reject his creation. "Young Frankenstein" is more than just a hillarious parody, which it is, and a loving tribute to the 30s Universal horror movies, which it also is. It is imo the best Frankenstein movie made.
Yep. It asks the pivotal question: what if Frankenstein had a heart? What if he didn't reject his creation?
It's hilarious, but it's also a genuinely good and satisfying sequel because of that aspect.
Disney now owns 20th century Fox and by virtue they own young Frankenstein. I think it’s fine addition to there library.
Without a doubt.
Mary Shelley's with Robert De Nero is my favorite Frankenstein movie.
Let us not forget Peter Boyle’s wonderful performance alongside them.
Absolutely superb!
I won't. I won't forget.
This film is really Gene Wilder's brainchild, but "Hello Handsome!" Is pure Mel Brooks

The collaboration between Brooks and Wilder was absolute brilliance. Nothing like it since.

Well maybe Lucille Ball could, but otherwise, yep, I think you're right.
@@Luna_and_Miles Lucille Ball had a manly voice when Gene's voice is just beautiful...
When he's yelling from inside the door....I lose it every time.
Pure genius!!! Classic in every way...then... now....forever.
"Get me out of here. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What the hell's the matter with you people, I was joking!.. " Wilder is so awesome.
I know right?
about as funny a moment in any film EVER!
Gene Wilder is sadly missed
Where's his Oscar nomination?? I mean come on... this is an incredible blend of comedy and sincere emotion, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Who else could have pulled this off. His entire performance is genius.
He did get nominated with Mel Brooks for the screenplay. Lost to "The Godfather Part II".
@@darthstarkiller1912 Comedy never wins..."Death is easy; comedy is hard......"
I love this movie, and being a new father, with no experience with children this is extremely relatable
Wilder is a genius. This whole sequence is pure gold. It makes the whole movie for me.
I think this is part of why the film is so good and so funny. There's a sincerity to it, a genuine love for what it's parodying. Frankenstein's freakout is funny, but his over-the-top love for his creation is even funnier.
A beautiful love story. Not between man and woman. But father and son.
The transition from comedy to drama when he emotionally moves the creature, hug him and adopts the name Frankenstein is superb
This movie is 50 years old now, unbelievable...One of the best ever.
I love how when he says “hello handsome” Frankenstein looks around confused cuz he didn’t think he was referring to him
The monster not Frankenstein*
The "this is a mother's angel" line kills me every time
On top of how brilliant it is as a comedy, this is a fantastic looking movie. That they spent so much care getting the look right really adds to the overall effect.
How can something be so hilarious and so awesome at the same time? Only Mel Brooks knows...
Yep, he knows the secret, wink!
Jirwemthegreat way cool! 😀😀😀
Sing IT ! ! CutieAngelYUMMYChristinaguelleraRA , U Are BeautyFULL in each And Everyway
I love how Young Frankenstein finally embraced his past and pronounced proudly to be a Frankenstein.
"MY NAME, IS FRANKENSTEIN!!!"
vs
"So you get NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, sir!"
"This is a mothers angel."
Total hilarity. I could watch this 1000 times and still laugh just as much. Comedy masterpiece.
From panic and desperation, to accepting and loving.
this is the silliest shit ever. 40 years later and it's still hilarious
*50 yrs later😅
This movie never gets old. I could watch it every day and still laugh.

The little groan-grunt as the final sound in this scene is also genius.
Such a classic 👌
This movie is a MASTERPIECE.
This is just like the climax of Act 2 of an play, with Gene Wilder's brilliant "My name is FRANKENSTEIN!!" marking the intermission and the audience eager for more.
Ello
It might be the greatest film ever made
Gene Wilder acted his ass off in this movie. It almost makes me emotional
One of the top 3 great scenes of this movie.
R.I.P. Marty Feldman (1934-1982) (Igor), Peter Boyle (1935-2006) (The Monster), Gene Wilder (1933-2016) (Dr. Frederick Frankenstein), Cloris Leachman (1926-2021) (Frau Blucher) and Terri Garr (1944-2024) (Inga).
you left out Ken Mars (the Inspector), Richard Hayden (the lawyer), Oscar Beregi Jr. (the torturing guard).
And Mel Brooks is 91 and still alive. I’m going to cry when he passes.
Did Marty die from complications from the condition which caused his eyes to bulge?
Ummm...Madeline Kahn as well.
@@diddymuck Madeline Kahn (Bride of Frankenstein)!
This movie brought me laughs for years. Its still funny to this day. Love to Gene Wilder
NICE WORKING WITH YOU !
Love the strangulated helpless noises Gene makes at about 2.02. Brilliant!
RIP Teri.
This movie is my favorite!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Damn your eyes!".........."Too late."
Wink!
Over 4 decades, and this scene still gives me goosebumps
Peter Boyle was starting to lose the prosthetic eyebrow ridges and bald cap as Gene Wilder was grasping his head, you can see him starting to look into the camera while Wilder was finishing his speech with a "WTF?" expression. But to his credit he stayed in character and finished the scene. Brilliant acting from both gentlemen. 💯
My all time favorite movie scene ever !
Gene Wilder can yell and scream pretty well in scenes like this and the Tunnel scene from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.
Extraordinary how he never gets a sore throat 😂
"Let me out, I'll kick your rotten heads in" 😂😂😂 classic Gene Wilder
This is one of my all time favorites scenes. Now that I know it's here, I'll return at least once a month to watch it.
For me the line that gets the biggest laugh is Feldman's "Nice working with you."
I say this to hype up myself all the time! Makes no sense but it somehow works for me! "My name! Is FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!"
One of my personal favorite scenes of all time. Very moving and just gets you going and feeling as if you can accomplish anything. Something an audience can relate to.
RIP The Iconic, Legendary, Gene Wilder. The Williest of Wonkas and Youngest of Frankenstiens.
Gene Wilder was a Wild Genius… amazing performances in all his movies!
Priceless scene, priceless movie.
the final expression on the face of the creature is like "WTF!"
Gene Wilder’s performance this movie is one of the great of all time performances of all movies. Everyone is good but he is by far the best
This is what I plan to do if I'm ever about to be attacked and I'm not too confident about my odds. "Hello handsome." Then run like the wind.
🤣🤣🤣
The best film ever watched it when I was 13 and me and my dad still quote from it
I absolutely cried I laughed so hard at this part. Lol
"my name is...FRANK-EN-SCHTINE!"
Always loved how Gene used correct German pronunciation of the name for that scene.
@@samsignorelli Well, it's not entirely correct tho.
The A isn't pronounced that way in german, but I get that it's hard for a non native speaker.
@@josefmetzger7317 True....but still much closer than usual.
@@samsignorelli Friedrich Schiller?
I have nothing to say except ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha a. Every time this gets me.
A scene of genius from start to finish.
I love you gene wilder
A "father" taking responsibility for his creation. Raising him, teaching him. Seems like a lost art today.
One of the greatest scenes of all time.
Peter Boyle was awesome in this movie. Did anyone else see Gene Hackman? No cheating now!
I still miss you, Gene Wilder. :'(
Best scene in the movie. And what a great flick!
A genuinely perfect movie.
Oscar worthy.

We've all had a moment like this-famous last words. That's what makes it so funny.
I just love this movie 🎥.
This movie is pure Theater. One of the last true theatrical films
the closest thing to dramatic moment in the whole film.
Definitely. It's really a triumphant moment too. He has accepted his family's history and his place in it.
The part were he says "You - are - good" and the monster breaks down crying always gets me.

What a great comedian
I've seen this so many times since I was a kid and it's still funny every time.
It's unbelievable, how it never gets old. I can watch this when I am 90 years old and it will still be totally hilarious.
Hello handsome LOL 😂 RiP Gene wilder
Goodbye handsome.
BRILLANT!
This scene is so funny and kinda sad.
4:02 "MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!"
He had everything under control, including his wits, until he accidentally kicked the table. Then out the window everything went. 😅
the closest this film has to a dramatic moment.
Peter Boyle was also great in the film: The Dream Team
I find when the monster breaks down so funny for some reason. It’s like he was very offended by what Frederick was saying but it really wasn’t 😂
In the future this is the conversation we will be having with AI, after robots discover they don't need humans anymore to exist
I fucking love this scene so much hahaha its genuine 1:27 instant regret XD
1:53 genuine shriek of terror
Watched this last night, and at 1:16 it eerily reminded me of accidentally waking up the baby! 😂
