Gene Wilder's delivery on "Little bastard shot me in the ass." gets me every time. Another little scene that I love is the look on Bart's face when Jim says, "No no don't do that...don't do that, if you shoot him you'll just make him mad."
The guy was amazing at just being natural and believable in a role. He even played a rabbi in one movie.
"Mongo just pawn in game of life"
"Help me in with this" "just think of your secretary..."
@@christhornycroft3686 The Frisco Kid with Harrison Ford and Penny Peyser.
John Wayne was offered the part of the Waco Kid. After reading the script he said there is no way he could be in the movie, but he'd be first in line to go see it.
Fuck to have reaction film of that screening...worth every penny.
@@JW666 I think it was because some people accused him of being racist. Still do. So, he likely felt doing the role would distract from the comedy.
Just imagine The Duke smoking a joint on screen!
@@Jelperman The Duke and the The Doobie
Not the Waco Kid. He was offered the role that Slim Pickens played.
Lee Marvin was offered the role of the Waco Kid.
As a Native American I love the whole bit with Mel Brooks as the chief. "They're darker than us."
PROUD Cherokee here , and I totally agree ; my favorite scene - but I love the whole film - Brilliant ! ! !
It's also a fact that the word Mel Brooks uses there to describe them, "Schwarzes" is the German word for "Blacks."
@@lazyperfectionist1 right - and when he admonishes the one brave not to hurt them he calls him "mischugah" which is the Yiddish word for crazy *Yiddish is a folk language of ashkenazim Jewish people - ashkenazim Jewish people are of Polish / German descent , and Yiddish is essentially a mixture of both Polish and German - shalom
I love that bit to. And the fact Mel Brooks was used some Jewish words with a heavy accent....lol
As an Apache who speaks Yiddish, I feel seen. 😂😂
The toll booth is my favorite gag in the whole show. Slim Pickens is genius.
Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!
Kills me every time I see it!
I cant not laugh every God DAMNED TIME. Hell I'll even be just hanging out doing nothing or be at work and suddenly there it'll pop in my head and I'll start busting up.
He was amazing in Dr. Strangelove.
@@captainsplifford A fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all of this stuff.
Too many great lines to quote, so i'll go with..."Mongo only pawn, in game of Life."
Thanks for the great rewatch! 😆
Hope Victor/Victoria will get a viewing (the bodyguard).
Agreed, way way too many.
Not only do they make me laugh consistently, but I also have odd thoughts when I see a number of them.
Farting Joke = I keep expecting the campfire in the middle to explode in a giant methane Fireball!
'Tongue prettier than a $20 whore' Joke? = I keep thinking, "Wow. Back then, that would be a LOT of money. That much wouldn't just get you a High Class hooker, but a TOP TIER hooker!"
And your "Mongo only pawn" Joke = always makes me think, "Huh? Mongo is more insightful/ aware than his low IQ would imply."
Richard Pryor wrote that line
If your Jewish like me, that Mel Brooks yiddish Indian scene is insanely hysterical
I’m not Jewish like you and I still found it hysterical
@@brianlogsdon4824 understanding Yiddish adds even more to it. I knew it was Yiddish when I first saw it, but hadn't learned enough yet to understand anything besides Shvartzas & Kahpa Walk, S'alright (my family, like most Jewish families, use Yiddish to talk when they didn't want the little children to understand), so I understood way more when I rewatched in my teens, and even more everytime since.
As I understand, it's supposed to be a reference to the theory that the American Indians might have been the descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel. Of course, that begs the question of how they would have learned Yiddish!
He did a Great impression of a Californian politician, too. Right on point. haaaa
The writing on the Indian headress is meant to say Kosher For Passover.
And wearing a Nightwish shirt. Knew I liked y’all for sum reason.
First it was an adorable ginger kitty, now Nightwish? Emily is obviously running for World's Best Human.
I was trying to read that shirt through the whole video.
Beat me to it
Dark Passion Play 👍👍👍
Shouldn't it be for "summ" reason?
My ALL-TIME favorite, don't care what anybody say, written by Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks did a great job. Studio cited Richard's drug use and said he was uninsurable and refused financing, also Brooks originally wanted John Wayne as Waco Kid, but he declined, good thing, Gene was so much better. Also Pryor told Brooks the N words had to be in it or else he felt it wouldn't be a realistic funny movie.
It’s timelessly comedic.
To be fair, I would be interested in seeing an alternate reality version of this movie with Wayne & Pryor. It would be weird if nothing else.
Don't what anybody say? Heh. This is always ranked as among the top ten comedies of all time. Fantastic.
Someone posted on Instagram meme that said that the edited version of this movie will only be seven minutes long
Wow! Pryor insisted on the excessive use of the word for all races to laugh hysterically at. Take that Snowflke SJWs
My grandmother was a Dutch. I shoot with this hand. When Mel brooks and Headley look at each other and stop laughing into a hmmmm. When Bart takes himself hostage. Native American Mel Brooks. Hey boys look what I got right here. Hey where are the white women at? Stampeding cattle, through the Vatican. I’m working for Mel Brooks. The fart scene. Mongo punched a horse. The whole damn movie is a national treasure. 🤘🏼
Heddy: I
Rest: I
Heddy: Your Name
Rest: Your Name
Heddy: Shmucks
Or
Heddy: Now go do, that voodoo, that youdo, SO WELL!
I was today years old when I got the ”they said you was hung”... And I have seen this movies at least... 80? times... wow... 😂😂😂
IKR??? I’ve been watching this movie since I was a kid and every time I see it, I discover a new joke I previously missed. I thought I had gotten them all, but I guess not. How did I miss that one??!!
"and They was right ! ! ! "
Ahh Blazing Saddles... A movie I shouldn’t have been aloud to watch when I was 12. C’est la vie
Gene getting Clevon to break while facing the camera was my favorite. They were both so charming! Their smiles make me smile 😁
They had great chemistry, like the scene where Bart whispers in Jim’s ear about the tollbooth plan and Jim’s reaction to it. Such a little thing but it made it feel so real. Kind of makes you wonder how the Wilder-Pryor movies would have been with Cleavon Little.
I LOVE their chemistry!
Fun fact: Frankie Laine, who created a song that you hear at the beginning of the movie, was not told that the movie is a slapstick comedy/satire. That's why he poured his entire heart in this song..
When they ended recording this song in studio, Frankie laine thanked mel brooks, with tears in his eyes, " for being given the chance to record something so pure and inspiring".
And Mel brooks couldn't bring himself to tell this man that it was for a joke.
He found about it later though but liked it.
@@mevbLet's face it--he got to sing the theme song to one of the greatest comedies of all time, and one with an important message on racism to boot. In Frankie's position, I'd also be pleased overall.
This movie was written by Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks. The studio cited Richard's drug use and said he was uninsurable and refused financing, also Brooks originally wanted John Wayne as The Waco Kid, but he declined, good thing too as Gene was so much better. Also Pryor told Brooks that the N words had to be included in the film or else he felt it wouldn't be a realistically funny movie.
Trivia: When this movie aired on television the farts in the “campfire scene” were censored.
Trivia:
Richard Pryor was originally going to play the role of sherif but due to some arrests the studio thought he wasn’t insurable. If he had, it would have been Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder’s first onscreen team up.
14:37 The horse was trained to turn its head and fall down (react to the punch) when the rider (its trainer) pulled on the reins. No actual harm done.
My favorite joke was the only one Mel Brooks chose to take out of the script for obvious reasons. The scene with Bart and Lili in her dressing room where she's saying "it's true, it's true" fades to black after she says the line. But in the original script after she says it Bart says to her "I hate to disappoint you ma'am, but you're sucking on my arm".
That would of been even funnier!
"it's twoo it's twoo"
I think we ALL miss it.
"Baby, I am NOT from Havana". Classic line
The hostage situation gets me every time! "Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?" =)
"Oh , baby You are so Talented - and They are so Dumb" 😆
My favorite bit;
"Where you going?"
"No where special."
"No where special, huh? Always wanted to go there."
Just an exchange I've always liked. The whole movie is gold, of course.
"Need any help?" "Oh, all I can get" one of the best lines of all time. I use it constantly.
My mind is aglow with whirling transient nodes of thought... I say this all the time! Love to see other people appreciate it too.
Somebody on our what-if model-making site uses that as their signature line under all their posts. Highly appropriate.
These are the first folks who are reacting appropriately in most of the correct places.
Remember seeing this one in the theaters back in 74 when it came out. Hilarious then, hilarious now. It’s really stood up to the test of time
The fourth wall breaking in this movie was legendary
Yes I agree 💯
"Excuse me while I whip this out."
The way they scream though, gets me every time! Lol!
"They lose me right after the bunker scene" dear lord that gets me every time :D
As Back To The Future producer Bob Gale said, "if you love movies don't watch them on TV networks".
Madeline Kahn knocked this performance right out of the park.
Keep coming back because the two of you make me laugh, and hers is so damn infectious. And now you have a Nightwish shirt. To awesome.
I'm a Mississippian by birth not choice so you understand my world and I love that. You guys are great.
She survived this movie... splendid... splendid...
God I love this movie. I remember back in 2000 for our high school senior project in English my best friend and I had to research a topic with relevance to our area and present it to our class, and extremely long story short our topic ended up being assigned to us since our original idea didn't work out. We ended up with How the 1849 California Gold Rush affected our local area in Ohio and we had about a quarter of the time to work on it since we had to start so late. About 2 days before it was due and needing 20 minutes for presentation and a 20 minute video, all we had to show was an 8 minute video and 0 to present, though we'd shot some comedic skits with buddies as filler for our video _(think In Living Color interview skits with Jim Carrey in the background, that's what we ended up doing.)_ With *maybe* a day left I got the genius idea to add the entire campfire scene from Blazing Saddles into our video because it actually segued nearly *PERFECTLY* between some scenes we'd shot, giving us like a 10 minute movie. Between that video and my world class BS skills of turning a zero-preparation presentation into a 60 minute long Q&A involving the whole class we scored an A on our project. I remember our teacher and the librarian watching in the background both trying to hold back their laughter when the campfire scene came up and I'm convinced it pushed our grade up.
In a very real way... Mel Brooks probably helped me graduate high school 🤣
Oh lordy lord. So glad you two did this one again.
Matt, like you I first saw this move in my youth. I became an instant Madeline Khan fan. Which turned into a fascination for older women, but that's a whole different subject. Fun few min. remembering a classic.
I feel it. Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield are definite faves of mine!
The actor that played mongo was a former football player for the Detroit Lions and he played on the show Webster
Harvey with the paddle ball bit, cracks me up every time
"Well let's play chess" still gets me every time. Clevon Little had spectacular comedic timing in this movie, hard to believe he was a last-minute replacement for Richard Pryor.
I love Richard Pryor , but NO ONE could have played Bart like CLEVON LITTLE ! ! !
@@mikeyates7931 Very true, Richard would have brought more standup to the role, Clevon brought some Broadway.
Warner Bros. was concerned about Richard Pryor's drug usage. Mr. Pryor never used drugs while performing.
And Gene Wilder was a past-last-minute replacement when the original actor showed up to drunk to stand up, let alone act.
@@clarencewalker3925 Reputations are hard to shake. Gene and Richard did go on to have some great team ups, like Stir Crazy.
Great movie, a German spectacle of yourself gets me every time
When I was at secondary school (1980s), those 'in the know' (i.e. those that had seen the film) routinely used the taking-yourself-hostage gag to exit awkward situations (a bit like Trekkies using "beam me up Scotty) to the general confusion of those not in the know...
I’m so glad I found you two. 😊
Loved waking up to see you in a Nightwish shirt sister, made my day! Great classic Mel Brooks as well of course! 😁
In the Campfire Beans scene
It was the first time ever a fart was heard in cinemas.
They also deliberately turned the volume up, so you could still hear the farts over the laughing of the audience
And it was also muted during some TV airings
@@jwn411
That's just taking the fun right out of it.
OMG Nightwish shirt! Hello from Finland. :)
You cannot forget, It's a Mad, mad, mad, mad world!!
My two favorite scenes, in no order, are the Camp Town Ladies and Bart taking himself hostage.
Love this movie. If you're re-watching movie I really hope "Clue" is one of them. No one react to it.
I live in Canada. East Coast. So right now I'm trying not to laugh when complain about the cold. I'm used to seeing below 0 temperatures. Fahrenheit & Celsius. You don't want to know what it feels like with the 'Windchill factor'. Cheer up. Spring is coming. And a lot sooner for you then for me.
Well, at least until -40° whem scales balance. Then far is colder then cell.
"Flames, on the side of my face."
"Flies are where men are most vulnerable."
"What did your husband do?"
"He was a magician."
"Whst hPpened?"
"He disappeared."
"But he never reappeared!"
"He wasn't a very good magician."
"How many husbands have you had?"
"Mine or othrrs?"
"Yours."
"5."
@@bessarion1771 I've been watching this movie at least 5 times a year (some times more) since 1985 so I didn't even have to read. The moment I saw "Wadsworth: The game's..." I knew every word. 💖
One of my favs has to be...
Colonel Mustard: Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there's nobody else in this house?
- Wadsworth: Um... no.
- Colonel Mustard: Then there is someone else in this house?
- Wadsworth: Sorry, I said "no" meaning "yes".
- Colonel Mustard: "No" meaning "yes"? Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn't there, yes, or no?
- Wadsworth: No.
- Colonel Mustard: No there is, or no there isn't?
- Wadsworth: Yes.
How many near spit takes really happened during the reaction? I mean, holding a drink while watching Blazing Saddles IS a real danger. All of Mongo's lines are written by Richard Pryor.
To this day I cannot drive through a town with the word rock anywhere in the name without saying “somebody’s gotta go back and get a shit-load of dimes” 🤣
My favorite line is in hedley speech. You men are merely risking your lives whilst I am risking an almost assured nomination for best supporting actor.
Madeline Kahn was great in High Anxiety, and also the late, great Cloris Leachman
Hear hear! Another vote for *High Anxiety* !
Not to mention in Young Frankenstein.
Ya know, as much as I like reaction videos, to movies/music I love/like....whenever someone "reacts" to something they've already seen/heard, I never watch it, because I prefer the initial reaction to the source material, but, you two are so god damn funny and legitimately enjoyable to watch, that I'm happy to watch, even though you're re-watching something.
Mel Brooks said every Western he saw while growing up had all the cowboys only eating beans and coffee. So he thought up the fart scene because of it.
"Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes" 😀
In a recent interview, Mel Brooks said that they had to remove a joke in the scene between Cleavon Little and Madelin Kahn. When they're in the dark, Cleavon says "Madam, you are sucking on my elbow."
Is that possibly in some versions? 'Cause I swear I've seen it.
So glad you guys are back warm, safe, and recording reviews for us to watch.
Speaking of Richard Pryor co-wrote this movie, he was chosen by Mel Brooks to play the sheriff, but studio overruled him by having the actor named Cleavon Little because studio deemed Pryor too controversial that might hurt box office.
Brooks also recorded all the fart noises along with anyone he could collar and drag into the sound studio.
I’m so happy that you got around to this movie!!! It’s one of my favorites!!!
The overlooked gag...just before the campfire and beans, camera pans to a sign: Authorized personnel only. Knock on barbed wire before entering.
"Look honey its Hedy Lemar"
"Headly..."
"we wanted to chill tonight".
You just had to go outside… ;-)
It put a huge smile on my face when I saw that your were reacting to this film. I already love the two of you so I am sold. I don't know how many times I have seen this movie but it never gets old.
Nice T-shirt, Em. Oh, and great flick. Mel Brooks was blazing saddles with that one.
All the racist white townsfolks being called Johnson is one of my favourite jokes of all time
This begs the question, is Jim actually James 'the Waco Kid' Johnson?
Howard Johnson is named after the now defunct chain of resturants that exsisted in the US.
Another great comedy!- I remember the crowds in the theater went crazy over the campfire "gas" scene- I still laugh just as loud!
Movie suggestion: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
I love watching reaction videos to this movie and the both of you have the best I have seen so far. The only thing I get disappointed in when I watch reactions to Blazing Saddles is no one shows any of the extended scenes of Mongo vs. Bart.
This movie played with my head for years because, growing up, when it was shown on television, they had several extra scenes. Later on, those scenes were dropped and left out of every release until the 30th anniversary edition. Imagine watching those scenes and then never seeing them again for decades. People thought I was confused.
15:14 The best part is watching Emily fight the laugher as she knows the "$20 W----" line is coming up.
Things I noticed very recently
1) Anne Bancroft (Mel Brooks' wife) is standing next to John Hillerman (Howard Johnson... whose name and business jokes in of themselves that I missed when I was younger, as I was not familiar with the Howard Johnson's brand).
2) Harriet Johnson (soft spoken school marm with sudden power voice) is played by Carol Arthur (Dom Deluise's wife)
3) Reverend Johnson is the same actor as Mr. Hilltop (the old guy Fredrick Frankenstein knees in the hoohah during his presentation).
See Slim Pickens in " Doctor Strangelove ". His greatest role.
Mongo is played by Alex Karras, who was a pro football player. He later played the evil sheriff in Porky's and the dad in the TV show Webster. All his dialogue was written by Richard Pryor, who was brought in to write Bart's dialogue.
One of the biggest myths in Hollywood. The script was written by a team of writers that included Mel Brooks, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Alan Uger (another African American that greatly contributed to Bart's lines)
@@jcarlovitch Didn't say he was the only one. He was hired because he was the hippest black comedian of the time. But he was drawn to Mongo.
The actor playing Hedley (not Heddy) is the wonderful Harvey Korman. He spent many years on the Carol Burnett show. Some of his skits with Carol and Tim Conway are worth a look.
Another Great Reaction! Yall becoming my favorite Reaction channel. I love the honest and genuine channel. My fav line is " they said u was hung, yeah and they was right" Classic. Reaction to Which Way Is Up. Staring Richard Pryor
Great review!!! Would love to see ya all react to "Dr. Strangelove"
Great to watch you guys enjoy this classic! Truly one of the best comedies ever.
Since you're Madeline Kahn fans (who isn't?), I have to ask if you've seen WHAT'S UP, DOC (1972). My guess would be you're aware of it, but if not, it is hilarious and features one of Madeline Kahn's best performances. It's also her first screen role and she is as brilliant as always!
The little wagon train circle.
Tears!
Alex was a retired NFL football player at the time of this flick. He is a large man. I can only imagine what he looked like in his younger days. So many one liners. I am like you young lady in that every time I watch this there is something new.
One of the greatest of all time.
Love that you’re staying with comedies! Love you guys.
Em I love the shirt. Nightwish is awesome
I love repeating the one liners... Excuse me while I whip this out. What in the wide wide world of sports? It's twue.. IT"S TWUE
I just had to screem before the review NIGHTWISH. You have become more of a personal hero!
You’ve got to watch (or rewatch) Police Academy.
YES!
I wish more people would do rewatch commentaries since they can sometimes add another layer.
You should review Mel Brooks' "High Anxiety." It's his homage to Alfred Hitchcock. Starring all your favorites... Mel, Madeleine, Cloris, and Harvey. Worth checking it out. You won't be disappointed.
This movie is such a true gem. I love all the little things, like Baskin Robins, 1 flavor" (instead of the 32) Hitler in the back ground during the pie fight, standing in the back, doing the salute. The town meeting, and everyone has he same last name, but only show their initials. Pugs were in the list of bad guys to round up.
Punk band in Missoula, The Banned, opened a song with "How bout some more BEANS mr.Taggart!!!" crowd went wild.
Check out-1939 Western "Destry Rides Again " starring Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart you will see where Mel Brooks got the Lily Von Shtupp character from. Also it's a great classic movie.
I said this too. Nice catch
Loved it in 1974 and still love it today. I grew up watching westerns every Saturday afternoon. So I recognized many of the western parodies as well as the "racists are stupid and incompetent." I also immediately recognized Count Basie and that impressed me.
Emily's uncontrollable laughter thru the whole movie is priceless, lol. "NO, GALFLAMINSAMABLAMIN!! THE SHERIFF IS A NI-!! *DING* 🤣🤣
"Let's face it. Everything below the waist is kaput."
You guys did a great job with your edit! You caught a lot of the little jokes. I really enjoyed watching it with you.
" Hold It, The First Man Makes A Move, Gets It" 😂 😂 😂.
"Well My Name Is Jim, But Most People Call Me Jim" 😂 😂 😂 😂.
One Of The Greatest Comedies Of All Time.
Mel Brooks And The Zucker Brothers Were Some Of The Funniest Nutcases Of Comedy. 👍.
Comedy At Its Finest.
Love 😍 It.
Agreed.. Just add in Monty Python and you got the holy trinity of comedy.
You two are my favorite movie reactors now.
Please do Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Yeah, I've been pleading for this one too.
I loved watching this with you I love this movie, saw it in the theatre twice the week it premiered, honey you are so fun to laugh with.
Oh you two need to see Madeline Kahn and Gene Wilder in Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother!
Yeah, I recommended this one, too. Watched it a lot growing up(the edited version, my dad recorded it off the TV, saw the unedited as an adult and it was even better🤣)The whole cast is epic, so quotable, so many epic bits(Wilder and Feldman with their asses out at the dance is hysterical) and Madeline Kahn is so fantastic, it really features her impressive singing voice❤ It should be more well-known than it is...
You need to watch the dentist skit with Harvey Korman & Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show, one of the funniest things you'll ever see.
YAAAAS! Nightwish!
My favorite quote is "Nevermind that $h!t, here comes Mongo!"
That's my Jam right there. "A cure for hoof and mouth disease-" "Nevermind that shit, HERE COMES MONGO" *CRASH!*
You guy's have to watch "It's a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad, World"
I know I am late to this party but my hats are off for your choice of band shirt. Nightwish is one of my all time favorite European symphonic metal bands. By now you probably hear that Marco the basses has left the band I wa all kinds of sad.
8:23
I still say "GA-BLAMMA-DANG-BLAMMIT" from time to time!! 🤣
My goodness Em's laugh is everything 😊
Mongo was a NFL hall of fame linesman. Lyle was a Dallas fireman who went to an audition and found a love of acting.
