First off... i just want to say that this is seriously my favorite movie of all time! I have been quoting it non-stop for the past week, and laughing hysterically to myself whenever scenes pop into my head. This movie has awakened something in me that i cannot explain! Reading the comments has brought me so much happiness, you have no idea!
Fun fact: idk why i just clicked so fast with this movie, but i think it's because growing up, i had so many people in my life thay had this EXACT same sense of humor, and i have always found Gene Wilder to be one of the funniest people! I guess i have the people in my life to thank for always joking like this, and just being funny people in general!
I'm so glad so many people loved this reaction!
If i ever need other hilarious movies recommendations, i'm coming to comments section of this video 🤣
yeah anything mel brooks and/or gene wilder you know it's going to be good 🙂 you look really cute in this video and always look beautiful 🙂 have you tried "Airplane 2: the sequel"? also the "hot shots" movies and "naked gun" movies 🙂 (naked gun has the guy who played the doctor in airplane as a hilarious detective) 🙂 also "princess bride" I'm not sure if you have watched that one, it is one of my favorite movies of any genre 🙂
I mean, you seemed synergistic with the lines in saying them right before they showed up in the movie so not surprised you connected so thoroughly with it. Glad you have a new favorite that is an absolute classic.
I grew up watching Gene Wilder movies, Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, Monty Python and other comedy greats that have since gone. But I love them all dearly, and thank them for giving me my particular sense of humor.
@@neutrino78x I tried naked gun and for someone reason that didn't clock with me at all!! Idk why!
If you like music and comedy I would recommend "The Blues Brothers." John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are hilarious in it and the music is the best of any movie I've seen imo,
Gene Hackman in an uncredited role as the blind priest was incredible!
But I was going to make espresso, one of the funniest adlibs of all time.
And mostly adlibbed.
Hackman did this for free. He and Wilder were long time friends and Wilder was talking about the screenplay. Hackman had made some great movies but he had never been in a comedy. He asked if there might be a little part for him. So they came up with this scene.
PCU Cain-Hackman theory always holds true.
In the behind the scenes it was either mel or gene who said "there was only one role i could think of for him the part of the blind man"🙈🤣 gene is a damn legend!
Marty Feldman as Igor is one of the greatest comedic performances ever 😂
It's Eye- gore.
It was differently eye popping
You must research Marty's other films..... Comedy gold.
Martys always been one of my favourites, gone far far too young :(
Marty was on his A- game when he was in this film incredibly funny he just stands out in this movie, hands down, his best performance
Wife and I met Gene Wilder and his wife at a small airport in NY state. Just happened to be sitting facing each while waiting for our planes. My wife whispered in my ear, that guy looks just like that actor. I looked up from my phone, smiled and said it’s him or he has a twin brother. Gene just smiled back. The four of us spoke for about 20 minutes. Other around didn’t seem to notice him. Spoke mainly about family. They were flying to see their grandkids, we were heading home after visiting ours. I only quietly mentioned and thanked him for how much joy and laughs he has given us. Didn’t want to bring attention to him. He looked exactly like you would expect. Frizzy hair, chino slacks, plaid shirt, nothing elaborate about him. Truly a wonderful person, no pretense of being famous. Our plane was called first. As we said goodbyes and started to walk away, he took my wife’s hand smiles and said,” don’t forget to write.” No we had not exchanged addresses. 🙂❤
OMG .. so nice of him not to be a star .. just to be a normal ppl ...but not in a condescending way
Young Frankenstein trivia that you might enjoy.
This movie was Gene Wilder's baby. When Mel Brooks approached him to play Jim in "Blazing Saddles" Wilder said he would only do it if Mel Brooks helped him make "Young Frankenstein".
I really wish they had worked together more often because they made some amazing movies together.
The laboratory set in "Young Frankenstein" was the EXACT SAME SET used in the original 1931 "Frankenstein " film. Also, Hackman's line, "I was going to make Espresso," was an adlib by him, and made Brooks laugh so much he kept it in the film.
Not the same set, but the same lab equipment. They actually got really lucky. Universal didn't keep that stuff back then, but it turned out that the set designer for the original was still alive and just happened to have all the lab stuff from Frankenstein in boxes in his garage.
according to the commentary, Mel had to keep a towel in his mouth so he wouldn't laugh while filming the movie.
@@Owlaf Brook's comedy roots go deep to the '50s. He was a YOUNG writer on your "Show of Shows" with Sid Caesar and a legendary writing staff that at one time or another included: Carl Reiner (The Two-Thousand Year-Old Man), Larry Gilbert (MASH), Neil Simon (playwright -"The Odd Couple"), and Woody Allen. Also watch "My Favorite Year." Produced by Brooks, it's loosely based on his week babysitting guest star Errol Flynn on "Your Show of Shows."
Larry Gelbart.
@@thedealer777"My Favorite Year" is one of my favorite movies! Not only because I'm a fan of "the golden age", but because every actor turns in such a solid performance!
I don't think I've ever seen a reactor more instantly in tune with a film.
It happens when you watched the movie previously
The actress you were referring to who was also in 'Blazing Saddles', was the late Madelaine Kahn. She was a wonderful comedic actress and singer, but was sadly taken too soon with ovarian cancer at the age of 57.
The "hair do" with the white streaks that Madelaine Kahn sported after meeting the monster, was actually a reference to the movie 'Bride of Frankenstein', the follow up to the first original Frankenstein movie. Elsa Lanchester, who played 'The Bride' was given the same style wig to wear.
I really hope we get to watch her watch ‘Mixed nuts’ for more Madelaine.
And she was fantastic in the movie Clue (amongst many others). If you haven't seen Clue... you should consider that for one of your first watch reactions. ;)
Flash fact: Maddy rejected the more important role of Imgard and chose instead to play the Doctor's fiancee because she could make it funnier and create better scenes for the movie. Oh, yeah.
It's fun watching people see a movie in which there is a parody or cultural reference of something they've not seen, but it's funny enough on its own, and then seeing the original thing later, and the penny drops, and they realize exactly HOW funny the previous scene is.
This comment perfectly describes watching people watch the show Community for the first time. Every five minutes they're like "oh, Houston we have an idiot... I know that meme" or something.
My wife and I went to watch Young Frankenstein when it was first released. The theater was packed, which was not really a surprise due to the wild success of Blazing Saddles the year before. Interestingly, there were numerous references in this movie that so many people missed...from Kenneth Mars' wooden arm (see Cedric Hardwicke in "Son of Frankenstein"), to Madeline Kahn's striped hair (see Elsa Manchester in "Bride of Frankenstein"), to the cute line, "Pardon me, boy, is this the Transylvania Station" recalling Glenn Miller's famous "Chattanooga Choo Choo" big band hit. Those moments make the movie even funnier. Which is hard to do.
You hit the jokes no less than five times before they showed. That's amazing! This movie is your spirit animal.
yeah... First time I've seen a reaction video of hers. This movie is her spirit animal is a good observation.
Foresees the joke, gets twice as hyped when the joke delivers! Such a good time!
I really think it was... I seriously SERIOUSLY loved thus movie. I think I say it once a day!
@@TheMirandalorianReacts New Subscriber here, this was my first time visiting your channel, Miranda, and you impressed me big time. What a fun reaction! YF is my favorite comedy of all-time. My favorite scene is when Dr. Fronkensteen has his crew lock him in the room with the creature--from his frantic begging for them to let him out, to his charming of the creature, and culminating with his maniacal, *_"MY NAME IS....FRANKENSTEIN!!!"_*
“MY GRANDFATHER’S WORK WAS DOO DOO!!!!!!”
9:40. That line; "Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania Station?" And all the way up to "Can I give you a shine?" Is a spoof of lyrics in the Glenn Miller Orchestra's 'Chattanooga Choo Choo,' a huge hit from the '40's.
Did Dr. Frankenstein have his fare (and just a trifle to spare)?
Young lady, thank you SO MUCH for this. As a man who was probably your age when I saw this in it's cinematic debut, I felt like I was watching it for the first time all over. You get it. This movie was pure genius. Even my children, who are older than you, recite lines from this movie whenever we are together. And they still watch it every Halloween. Thanks once again.
Igor going after the mink stole is utter perfection
The blooper scene with him taking a piece off it and Frederick going "Drop it!"like saying it to a dog is hilarious.
@@phousefilmsI love the bloopers of this scene. It’s one of my favorite scenes of all time.
It was a white fox, not a mink...
I love when Gene gets annoyed.
His facial expressions are hysterical! 😂
I love it when he starts speaking in a normal soft voice, and by the end he's screaming at the top of his lungs. There are very few actors who can do that as well as Gene Wilder. :)
@@BruGaleen He made escalation an art form.
"Would you mind telling who's brain we did put in?"
"Abby something ... Abby Normal, I'm almost certain that was it"
@@ChurchNietzsche Marty Feldman is perfect in this role. Igor is such a troll in this movie.
Mel Brooks compared comedy to music, Gene was his best performer.
Don't you love it when, the audience brings their own produce? Fun fact Madilyn and Terri tried out but got each other's role. I think casting got it right
Your reaction to the “putting on the ritz” was just the most enjoyable thing I’ve seen. So awesome how much you enjoyed this movie we all love. ❤
Seeing Teri Garr on chat shows in the 70s and 80s demonstrates how making her phoebe’s mum on friends was the most perfect casting decision ever.
so floopy!
She was also in a Star Trek ( TOS ) episode, which happens to be a good story.
I remember seeing a commercial for Hotel for Dogs about 14 years ago and thinking it’s nice to see Terri Garr in a new movie. Oh, wait. That’s Lisa Kudrow.
There’s one Terri Garr movie that I don’t think anyone has reacted to and seems to have disappeared from popular memory: “Oh, God.” At the time it was popular enough to get two sequels and even knocked Star Wars off the top of the box office charts. And of course it generated knee-jerk condemnation from certain religious groups.
Teri has had MS for probably the last 25 years, and she also had some brain aneurysm in 2006. We didn't get to see enough of her.
You have to see the movie "Frankenstein" from 1936 to truly appreciate the brilliance of this movie. IIRC, Brook's production crew contacted the prop master from the original movie and he hooked them up with the laboratory props that were used in 1936.
Your recollection is 100 percent correct
Couldn't agree more.
Like you should watch the 1957 Zero Hour before you watch Airplane.
Just like watching the four "Airport" films before watching "Airplane!".
1931, you mean.
@@EntertainmentFan11 Right you are. That's what I get for going from memory LOL
There's something very special in watching a freshly-minted Mel Brooks fan!
Welcome!
The deadpan delivery of Wilder, combined with the running gags and innuendos made this one of the most epic of his movies
Teri Garr/Inga as the innuendo delivery is just wonderful. She's so sweet, but everything she implies is so dirty 😅
33:30 Fun fact, if you watch the bloopers for this movie (which I highly recommend!) a large amount of bloopers are for that scene because Gene couldn’t stop busting up laughing, to the point that the only time that they could get through the scene STILL had him laughing! So you were absolutely correct!
Glad you enjoyed this film so much!
You'd have to be Abby Normal not to watch the TH-cam clips of the bloopers
@@adampare8088Bah-boom! Tish!
I also heard they did the shot several dozen times (some say 99 to 100) and ended up taking the first one because it was the only one Gene or someone else didn't end up full out laughing.
There's a deleted scene of him approaching a man playing the violin, asking to hold it and then smashing it over his knee. The man asks why he did it and Frankenstein replies, "I didn't do that" and in the end is saying "I didn't do that, are you INSANE?!?!"
This is my favourite Mel Brooks movie
I wish I can experience in my life the joy you felt at "putting on the Ritz"
Miranda your laughter gives me life. I watch this, Blazing Saddles, and the Airplane! reaction videos over and over.
During filming, Marty Feldman(Igor), kept shifting the hump on his own and not saying anything to mess with the other actors, which worked, and it was decided to leave it in as a bit. So many WONDERFUL comedic actors in this movie how could it go wrong? Loved it since my first watching years ago, it is CLASSIC!
What hump?
Honestly I feel like that's one of Mel Brooks' greatest strengths. He assembles a group of really funny people and lets them play.
What hump ? 🤪
"I did not know that" as Johnny Carson used to say.
The outtakes of the scene when Madeline Kahn is introduced to Igor and Inga are comic gold.
Capsule review: Mel Brooks is a master of pure, unadulterated silliness. And ain't nothing wrong with that. 🤣
The line of Igor which almost made Wilder break up when meeting the fiance was "You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban", done as a Groucho Marx impersonation. Marty Feldman used to do comedy in England with members of Monty Python before that troupe was formed - see At The Last 1948 Show.
The Producers needs to be your next Mel Brooks film. It was his first film and is so insane it's brilliant.
And it stars Gene Wilder as well
The ORIGINAL only
Her interpretation of the Perrier gag actually outsmarts the film's reference. Well Done!
I honestly thought the same as her that it was a "D" and was pronounced derriere, with the double entendre of it being from a can.
As a kid I thought that was the joke as well.
Mel's governor in Blazing Saddles, La Petomaine, is a reference to breaking wind.
This whole thing is so funny because I never imagined that ANYONE did not know about Perrier water. It was the hoity toity thing of that time.
It doesn't "outsmart it." The satire is about a commercial water product. She came up with a different joke in her mind from a mistake.
My favorite comedy of all time! And Gene Wilder is a legend.😊
Also, Marty Feldman improvised that "bathroom" line and had the whole set in stitches. 😅
Madeline Kahn was a comedic acting GENIUS... You'll want to watch for her in "History of the World Part I" and "Mixed Nuts"... Loved your reaction to one of my favorite movies of all time... 1974 was a GREAT Mel Brooks year as he gave us both "Blazing Saddles" AND "Young Frankenstein"!
My favorite line of hers: "My Little Zipper-Neck"
If you love comedians breaking character and laughing, the old Carol Burnett Show had many of those moments. Tim Conway made Harvey Kormann laugh all the time. The most famous skits were the dentist sketch and the elephant story.
And you'll recognize Harvey Kormann from some Mel Brooks movies, too! I've read that Lorne Michaels, producer of SNL, dislikes whenever his cast "breaks." I've never understood why, it can lead to some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see. The Lindsay Lohan/Debbie Downer/Disney skit is one of the funniest ever, precisely because they all crack up laughing. (Horatio Sanz seen wiping tears from his eyes with a Mickey waffle?! I'm sure that wasn't in the script!)
I also really recommend a lesser known one called The Interrogator... or any of the Old Man skits.
Many of those I have saved in my watch lists for times when I REALLY Need a pick me up, when it's near impossible to get into a better mood. Especially the Elephant Story.
@@dannykent6190 Never say grave to an old person!
If you like seeing the actors break, you absolutely HAVE to do the Elephant Story from the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway was absolutely BRUTAL with making the others completely lose their crap on that show. You’ll love that skit!
It felt she was almost going to choke to death laughing during the putting on the Ritz scene. Glad to see she enjoyed it that much and glad she eventually found some space to breath.
Reminds me of me when I first watched that scene
It's been a while since I laughed so much along a reaction!
If you want to catch up on some more Mel Brooks AND Marty Feldman (Igor), Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" from 1976 is well worth a watch. It's, well, a silent movie, a love letter to that era. As good as only Mel Brooks can make them.
The "you take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!" scene absolutely broke Wilder. It took SO MANY TAKES to get it right because he could not keep his composure. It's a significant chunk of the movie's outtakes.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone as young as you enjoying these movies that I saw when they first came out. In a time when almost everyone is offended by everything, you have the same belly laughs and happiness that I had back in the day. So awesome. You are amazing and thank you for reliving these hilarious moments for me. Cheers!
I think laughing and poking fun at ourselves is so so so so important! Life isn't so serious! "If you don't laugh, you'll cry" is a good motto I live by, it just depends on how you choose to look at things!
Well said.
@@TheMirandalorianReacts"Life is far to important to be taken seriously!"
What would be refreshing is for any of these "reactors" who watch spoof movies like the Mel Brooks films to have actually seen the source material that's being spoofed.
Igor definitely has the best lines in the movie. When I lived in California I use to drive down to Los Angeles and visit cemeteries to see celebrities graves and Marty Feldman, Igor, was one at the top of my list. Those eyes, that voice, and his expressions combined with his lines made him the absolute hilarious character that was pure comedic gold.
We in the Mel Brooks fan community are always welcoming of new blood. I love seeing younger people getting into his work. Mel's not getting any younger, and we need to keep his legacy alive ❤
I absolutely loved your reaction! I was 14 years old in 1974 when this movie came out, but didn’t see it until years later. Loved the performances by all the main actors, but yes, Marty Feldman, Igor, was my favorite too. Mel Brooks is still living at the age of 97. Teri Garr, Inga, is still living at the age of 78. She has multiple sclerosis. There is a great blooper reel on TH-cam that goes for 7 minutes and 1 second. There are also a couple of great documentaries on the movie on TH-cam. And, Gene Wilder was on Conan in his later years. That is on TH-cam as well. Great interview.
Madeline Khan is such a legend same as Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman is also hysterical.
Also Fun Fact: The lab props are actually the original ones from 1931. The stage designer kept them at home.
OMG Miranda, My stomach hurts, my jaw hurts, and I could not be more pleased with your awesome reaction. This is by far my favorite of yours so far.
It's really wonderful that a young person like you can appreciate this film. My own college age daughters didn't get it. However, my wife and I have been quoting Young Frankenstein together for 25 years in daily life (e.g., I suggest you put on a tie) and my girls were like "hey, you got that from this." Um, yeah. Oh sweet mystery of life at last I found you!!!!
There are some amazing outtakes from the making of this film which, as you can imagine, mostly involve the cast making each other crack up over and over again.
Gene freaking out is my favorite mood of his. Him throttling Peter Boyle with 'quiet dignity and grace' might be his best delivery of all time. "YousonofabitchbastardI'llgetyouforthis!!!"
I KNEW you'd completely lose it at "Puttin' On The Ritz". Thank you so much, I feel like I watched this again for the first time with you, it was a delight to see how much you enjoyed it! Out of the things you edited out, my favourite was the moment where Eyegor plays a couple of counterpoint lines to the violin on a horn. Cracks me up so much. Marty Feldman is brilliant.
A couple of notes from an older person:
1. "Can I give you a shine?" isn't just a rhyme, it's an entire song. The Chattanooga Choo Choo. :)
2. The slow start was normal in the 1930s, that's how films started. Often they simply ended with a "The End" card and it was over in seconds. A far cry from today's eight-minute credit rolls!
It's amazing how well Mel Brooks recreated that genre, it even sounded like an old movie with the loud footsteps and echo-y rooms.
No one ever gets that the dialogue at the train station is based on the Chattanooga Choo Choo lyrics.
"What knockers!"
"Oh, thank you doctor..."
Like many here, Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies, however I've never had more fun than now, watching it with you. Experiencing your realizations and reactions was absolutely wonderful and heartwarming... It is like we are re-watching the movie for the first time, and that is a precious gift. thank you.
I would also like to mention that the Laboratory set was a recreation of the original movie, using the original props.
Everything Marty Feldman did was hysterical but my favorite moment is the unlit candles when they are on the treacherous stairs.
Same here. It used to drive my dad insane. Lol
Igor appearing from nowhere will always make me laugh.
It took me several viewings before I got the joke: The Candles Weren't Lit!
Frau Blucher and the horses was such a brilliant running gag
This has always been my favorite Mel Brooks movie, it's a parody, but is also an homage to the original 1931 movie, to the point that laboratory equipment props from the original where used in the lab scenes of this one. The humor, the jokes and gags, are nonstop yet they feel somehow subtle, so they hit so much harder. I guess it's all in the delivery.
I honestly think this is Mel Brooks’ greatest film.
The best parody comes from a place of genuine love for the original material. That’s part of why Galaxy Quest is so good.
@@wackyvorlon Great minds think alike. Galaxy Quest immediately came to mind. The perfect blend of homage and parody. Also a stellar cast of A-list actors.
You might enjoy Gene Wilder and Mel Brook's collaboration in "Sherlock Holme's Smarter Brother."
I watched this movie when it was originally released. It’s fun to see a younger person enjoying it so much. The only thing is as a much older person I got some of the more obscure references you probably missed. When the train arrives and Frederick asks the boy “pardon me boy is this the Transylvania Station “ it’s a call back to the song Chattanooga Choo Choo by Johnny Mercer.
The scene where Gene wilder is almost cracking up with Igor was so hard for him to get through. Gene wanted to bust out laughing every time he looked at Igor. He said he finally made it through it but had to almost bite his cheek to not laugh. There is a whole clip showing the outtakes and they are hilarious.
I'm glad you loved this. If you want Mel Brooks and Broadway together; The Producers should be your next Mel Brooks film. The 1967 one with Gene Wilder
Huge Mel Brooks fan, but I have never found The Producers funny. Movies of this genre that I like more are The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (Gene Wilder directed) and The Last Remake of Beau Geste (Marty Feldman directed).
I was going to say that but you beat me to it. _The Producers_ (the ORIGINAL with Zero Mostel) was Brooks' first film. It wasn't a big hit when it first came out but people weren't used to Mel Brooks films at this time and didn't know how to take it. Today it is considered one of the best comedy movies of all time.
The Producers isn't for everyone. But it does have what, to me, is indisputably the funniest scene Gene Wilder ever shot. Where Zero Mostel is mad at him and he starts going into hysterics. "I'm in PAIN... I'm wet... And I'm STILL hysterical!!!" At one point Gene lets out a sound. A whimper of a squeak. A sound I don't believe anyone else has ever been capable of making. And every time he makes that sound, I am absolutely floored.
But even as much a I love the film, I will admit it doesn't have the non-stop laughs of Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World, etc. As a film though, it was brilliant. Such an ingenious comedic premise. And as I alluded to, the acting is fantastic, particularly from Gene.
The line from the kid, at the beginning was a play on the song: the Chattanooga Choochoo.
I saw this in the theater when it was released. It was the first time I went to a movie with a boy. My date laughed so hard, at one point he flung all the popcorn out of the container. Your reaction reminded me of how much he (and I) enjoyed it.
I don't think I've ever seen someone enjoy a movie this much.
I had fun watching you. :)
Yes, I can say, Gene was really genuine. Back in 1984 I have spent a whole day at Paramount in his company, when I sat in at a recording session to the score of The Woman in Red (at Glen Glenn Sound). There were scenes of the movie running on a big screen to which the music was being recorded. Gene would quote lines from the movie. Gene had quite a mesmerizing voice, he was so good at using that quality when he wanted to. When I later saw the move, I heard those same lines that he quoted at the studio. And the lines had the same expression, the same timing, everything. That day with Gene was a wonderful experience.
What astonishes me a bit is that hardly any one seems to get the Chattanooga Choo Choo song reference in the scene at the railway station with the young boy. The conversation in the song between a traveller and a shoeshine boy:
Pardon me boy, is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Yes, yes, track 29
Boy you can give me a shine
Sadly, too many don't know of popular music from before the 60's ;-)
@@gregall2178 It is a long time ago, I know. But I expected some people would still know about the music of the era of Glenn Miller, Modernaires, Andrew sisters and such. Not the kind of music I listen to daily, but it is interesting if you want to learn about harmonies and I can appreciate it when I hear it.
@@theosolberg Most her age wouldn't know anything of that era. Some young reactors don't even know much of anything before the 90's.
Homefire music from the World War 2 era , should ALWAYS be known that era and attitude set the standard for our modern America , or at least what was good about America , , printed and spoken freedoms and legitimate Patriotism Wich has seemingly come to an end around 1998 , , ,I was born in 77
It was popular some 80 years ago. Taking a corresponding age for me, I don't know much turn of the century (19th to 20th) music, but I know music from 35 years prior (1940s), which for our host 35 years ago would be the 1990s.
Always remember... Sed-a-give!
Just remember... Put the candle BACK!
What hump?
Marty Feldman's purpose was to be a troll, to troll the other characters, to troll the film, to troll the audience. He was a wonderful comic.
Both Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles went to great lengths to capture the atmosphere and tropes of their source material, hence the opening and the whole film being in black and white.
Funny fact: The band members of Aerosmith, along with their producer, went to see Young Frankenstein, in theaters. They all got such a kick when Igor tells Frederick to Walk this way, that it inspired them to write one of their biggest hits.
apochryphyl
Or you can go with what Steven Tyler himself said - "The song title evolved from watching The Three Stooges on TV. They walked this way and that.".
The “Walk this way” joke is very old dating back to the 30s or 40s. I remember my cousin used to do it in the 50s.
@@banhammer3904😂
We need more young people like you! ❤ Thank you so much 😊!!
The gag with the horse neigh is a silly substitute for the cliche "ominous thunderclap"
"Hear no evil, see no evil" with Gene Wilder and Richard Prior. You've got to react to THAT comedy! When those two are matched together in any movie, it's absolute magic!
Gene Wilder and Richard Prior also did "Silver Streak" which has a few legendary scenes
@@abnormal1501 @guittadabe5214 "Stir Crazy" as well
Stir Crazy! 😁
@@MrKeychange
YES!!!!
@@angelohernandez6060 😁👍
I saw this in the theater in 1974. I was 12 years old and I loved it! As a kid, I was hooked on the classic Universal Studios monster movies from the 30’s and early 40’s so I got all of the jokes and old movie references such as the old blind hermit from “The Bride of Frankenstein” and the police inspector with the wooden arm from “The Son of Frankenstein “. Of course, POOTIN ONDA REETZ!!! almost made me wet my pants for the first time since I was a toddler. Also, the shoeshine boy at the train stations lines were a take off of the 1940’s song, “Chattanooga Choo Choo”.
FWIW: I was 13 in 1974, and I saw this in the theater as welll...👍😊
That's cool you got all the monster movie references as a kid, I did, too. You mentioned the, "Chattanooga Choo Choo", lines, but those you must've picked up later, or been told by an adult where they were from. 12-year olds in the '70s did not listen to Glenn Miller. lol
ps~I saw it with a half dozen friends for my 9th birthday in early '75 (the film didn't premiere until December of '74). We were rolling in the aisles, as was my dad the chaperone. After that it was off to Howard Johnsons for cake, ice cream and presents! To this day it ranks as one of my favorite birthdays ever, and YF is my all-time favorite comedy!
I didn’t listen to Glenn Miller when I was a kid but my parents did. I grew up knowing all about the big bands so I got the joke right away.
@@33Keith33 Meh. I don't know about that.
The related lyrics from that song go:
Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
Yes yes track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine
There's also an old joke (sort of) where people say Pardon me, boy, Is that the cat who chewed your new shoes.
Marty Feldman “Igor” moved his hump around without telling anyone on set. So Gene Wilder’s puzzled questions on the hump’s location was genuine.
6:53 This same actor played the Reverend/Preacher in Blazing Saddles.
Marty Feldman randomly swapped the hump from one side to the other waiting for someone to notice. So Brooks kept it in and made it another gag.
One of the great details in this movie is that the lab equipment is all from the original Frankenstein movie. The set designer still had it in storage and Mel was able to get him to loan it to them for this movie.
"The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" is fun; three of the actors from this movie were in it. 1975 release:
Top cast:
Gene Wilder as Sigerson Holmes
Marty Feldman as Sgt. Orville Stanley Sacker
Madeline Kahn as Jenny Hill
Douglas Wilmer as Sherlock Holmes
Not sure who directed etc.
Watching your facial expressions as you watch this movie was so fantastic. It is one of my favorites as well and has been for a long time, it is great seeing someone else enjoy it so much.
Your reaction was perfect, you would have fit right in with us in the 70's. I remember seeing this in the theater and people gave up trying to be quiet about a third of the way in. Everyone was laughing out loud and while we were leaving people were already repeating lines from the movie. I've owned my copy for years so I can watch whenever I want.
Gene Hackman as the blind man was hilarious, still sad but, too funny
It was fun to see your joy and laughter watching for the first time, I laughed as hard as the many times I’ve seen the actual movie. The “put the candle back”part is my favorite
I know you did this reaction video several month ago, but I wanted to recommend a very different Gene Wilder movie that also happens to co-star a very young Harrison Ford. It's called The Frisco Kid.
He plays a Polish rabbi who comes to America and later encounters Ford's character. It's not a madcap comedy like Young Frankenstein ( probably the funniest movie EVER made!), but Wilder and Ford are really great in their own way in each role.
Puttin on the Ritz is so ridiculously funny. Its comic genius to use that hilarious voice. Peter Boyle(the monster) also played the father in Everybody Loves Raymond which was also a great sit com.
He's also in one of my all-time favorite episodes of the X-files. He plays an insurance salesman who can see exactly how people die, and has to help on a case where a serial killer is targeting psychics and fortune tellers.
@@RothAnim He could do comedy and drama in equal measure. A bit like Jack Lemmon.
Most people only know Peter Boyle as the dad from everybody loves Raymond, this movie is what made me love him. And having Gene Hackman as the blind man was pure gold.
There are some of us old farts who remember him as the villain in Outland, a sci-fi remake of High Noon starring Sean Connery from the early 1980s.
@88wildcat good call. I haven't thought about that show in years. Totally forgot about it.
There was a Halloween episode where he dressed up as the Monster
I always knew him from Taxi Driver. 😁
I remember him from 'Joe'@@88wildcat I remember him from 'Joe'
Mel Brooks fans always welcome new fans to the scene! The comedic sensibility shows your intelligence! Also, one more suggestion. If you haven't seen "Secondhand Lions", I'd love to see your reaction!
I made a ringtone out of "Puttin' on the Ritz" and assigned it to my parent's phone number for years and years, because it always made me smile as it put me in a better mood, even when I really didn't want to talk to them. They're both gone now, but whenI hear I hear Peter Boyle's Monster sing that line, it never fails to make me happy and nostalgic no matter how I feel at the time, no matter how hard I try. It's now one of my wakeup alarms. 😁 Truly, I fell out watching your hilarious and adorable reaction today!
Some context as food for thought. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, both of which vie for top spot in any "funniest movie of all time" list, were the only movies in which Mel Brooks ever shared a writing credit with anyone, (Gene Wilder,) and both were released the same year, (1974). What an amazing outburst of pure comedic genius in such a short time!
43:48 The sedagive scene destroys me every time, the image of Fronkensteeen getting choked by the monster while having to play charades is uproariously funny
"He said a dirty word!"
HILARIOUS!
I thought the way Gene Wilder yelled “LIFE DO YOU HEAR ME, GIVE MY CREATION, LIFE!” Was good acting
Yes, Mel Brooks made this movie specifically for YOU… Mel crafted every scene, every line, thinking how to make YOU LAUGH ! I subscribed early into this reaction when I saw how you got every joke, every inference, and even anticipated some of the gags, never expecting they would actually happen… GREAT reaction !
Lolol yeah for some reason I just CLICKED with this movie! Absolute perfection every single second!!
LOL loved your Perri-Air spelled with a D story...almost wished Mel Brooks had used it. Second, noticed this time you are not taking any chances with Blue Tooth headphones and going with wired headphone. I hope you re-watched Blazing Saddles over again with the wired headphones. Mel Brooks gags were too good to be missed. I'm wondering if you and Teri Garr are related(resemblance was striking when you cut in a shot of her at 17:06) Loved your comment about "Doorknockers" and then the momentary pause you give after Terri's reply. "Thank you Doctor." and then you catch up... and loose it. It's as much fun watching and reminded of the genius of all the actors that worked in the Mel Brooks movies. Their timing is spot on and lines are delivered impeccably. I hope that you spent the next few days with an aching face from laughing as much as I did when I watched it the first...second...third....tenth time.
This movie was loosely based on the three Boris Karlof Frankenstein movies from the 30's. They even found and used the original laboratory equipment used in the original movies. Inspectors Kemp's wooden arm and Madaline Kahn's hair due with the stripes and her hissing at the end came directly from 'The Bride of Frankenstein. You should watch the many blooper videos from this movie. The running gag with Frau Blucher and the horses stayed with Cloris Leachman the rest of her life. You were right about Gene breaking up during that scene when Marty bit that fox scarf around Madaline's neck. The one in the movie was as close as they could get without Gene totally losing it.
I showed this to my daughters when they were little and they laughed at the silliness and now as they are adults they love the humor ....thanks Miranda for your enjoyment of both the silliness and the humor of MB ❤ you are so much like my oldest daughter 😊
Decades after this movie, my wife and I still use abby normal for anything that isn't quite right.
Lololol
Love how no one ever notices. How victor/Igor are able get under the coffin to push it out.
9:38 lyrics for Chattanooga choo-choo.
25:20 In the musical there is a song called "He is my boyfriend"
Again you your psychic abilities (correctly saying the lines before they come out) is amazing! You bring so much joy!
Trivia - They used the sets for the laboratory from the original Frankenstein movie.
The "track 29" joke is a nod to the well-known Glenn Miller song "Chattanooga Choo Choo". Listen to it!
Peter Boyle in the "Puttin' on the Ritz" number absolutely floors me every single time!
Peter Boyle was only supposed to "monster groan" when his lines came up, but then he belted out "PUDDIN ONNA REEEZ" and the entire set had to shut down until they could compose themselves. After that, it was immediately written into the scene, expanded on, and this is what we see today
Fun Fact: the Monster was played by the Dad in "Everyone Loves Raymond" and the Blind Man was Gene Hackman, played Lex Luthor in the Christopher Reeves Superman movies 🙂
My mom and dad made sure all three of us kids watched Young Frankenstein in our childhoods (they fast-forwarded through the - ahem - operatic moments). It was INSTRUMENTAL in our developing senses of humor: Walk This Way, Frau Blucher, Sed-a-Give, Abby Normal, and Put Ze Kendel Bech! became daily use in our household, and I STILL use them frequently. Young Frankenstein is truly genius, seminal, a generational touchstone, and it's so wonderful to see how in-tune you were with it from the first scenes!
The scene where Igor/Marty Feldman bites Madeline Kahn's fur was improvised which is why it caught everyone off guard. Another great movie with Gene, Marty, and Madeline is The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.
Why don't we all drink some very sexy wine?
@@tomheinle1049 Who is your father ?!
Coooooome oooooooonnnn aaaaaannnnnd HOP! HOP! Come and do the kangaroo HOP! HOP! That's the dance for me and you!
@@UTubeHandlesSuck If you're over 80 you can waltz a little while, but hopping about the parlour is the very latest style!!
I'd almost forgot about Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother.
Many of the actors from Young Frankenstein were in it which I loved.
I have to say, I've never seen anyone enjoy this movie as much as you did.
It was pure joy to see you watch one of my favorite comedies of all time. Loved it!
15:49 "How does anyone catch a breath while watching this movie?"
Sums it up perfectly...
I love that you loved this one too. Also loved that you noticed the different "personalities" of Brooks' movies. His comedic talents are amazing. His songwriting and directorial talents are often overlooked simply because he is so good at making you laugh. Edit: I forgot to add,, Men in Tights, Men in Tights, Menin Tights!
And The Producers (1967 version).
she's going to love the Spanish Inquisition musical number in History of the World
My favorite part of this movie is the blind priest scene. The way he poured soup on the monster's lap was so hilarious
Yep, a genuine comedic couple
I like how the monster is so patient.
Gene Hackman as the blind hermit is my favorite part of this. No matter how many times I see him light Peter Boyle's thumb on fire, it gets me every time.
YF is PURE genius! Also, The Producers 1967 featuring the musical number "Springtime for Hitler" Springtime for Hitler and Germany, Wintertime for Poland and France... One of Mel's favorite films was Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 classic To Be or Not to Be a must see, and upon which he based The Producers. Also, a comedy classic and ICONIC is Charlie Chaplin's scathing commentary on Hitler, The Great Dictator. Main Characters: Adenoid Hynkel (Adolph Hitler) and Benzino (gasoline) Napaloni (Benito Mussolini) dictator of the country of Bacteria (Fascist Italy) Lauded as genius at the time and more so since. Chaplin in his autobiography stated that he couldn't have made The Great Dictator had he known of the extent of the horrors of the concentration camps! Chaplin's climactic monologue has frequently been listed by critics, historians and film buffs as perhaps the greatest monologue in film history, and possibly the most poignant recorded speech of the 20th century. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!!! It's a comedy yet quite somber and serious. At the time, western powers were still appeasing Hitler and Mussolini to some extent and the U.S. was refraining from getting involved still. This seriously bothered Chaplin and this one film is certainly his greatest masterpiece in that he finds a way through the veil of comedy, to reach into the audience and grab their souls as if to say WHY? Why are you letting this happen and not doing something about it? This was after all, a 1939 production and 1940 release!
Oh, the laughter was more than just the cast. 😋 In the commentary for the DVD, Mel was talking about a number of things going on during the filming of this. There were times when they had to do a shot again because the camera man would be quietly laughing, resulting in the camera shaking. Cloris Leachman (Frau Blucher) would get so mad at Gene, because he'd blow the take by laughing and they'd have to do the scene again.
Mel said that during the scene where Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) arrived, they had to keep doing re-takes when Eye-gor (Marty Feldman) would attack the fir stole because he'd end up with a mouthful of fir or pieces of it. Mel said that by take number #13, it started to occur to him that maybe Marty was doing it on purpose... 😆
Another fun comment Mel made in the commentary that these people were so funny together, he had to direct a lot of it with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth. And he said that at one point, Madeline came in and did something so funny that he almost swallowed the Handkerchief! 🤣
There are a number of the outtakes on TH-cam - I would definitely recommend that you hunt them down; some really funny stuff there.
One personal comment, if I may: I'm not going to lie - I don't like this current editing format that you're using; I much prefer the less jarring, no in-and-out type that you used in your earlier videos like with Back to the Future I & II. That said, I've never had so much fun examining someone's tonsils. 😂 Your reactions were just so much fun to watch - especially the part where you almost slid out of your chair because you were laughing so hard. A really good, enjoyable reaction to this. 👍
I will give my editor the feedback! I think it may be just their editing style! A lot of it is done to avoid copyright claims from yt. Maybe there is a better way to make it less jarring? The OLD video were me editing, and I just couldn't so it anymore so I had to hire someone! They take sooo much time and require serious work!
@@TheMirandalorianReacts Oh, I understand - YT really just seems to go out of its way to make the process as absolutely painful as they can, and I know that the whole copyright thing has to be danced with. I was just surprised by the route that your editor has taken, given that when I was going through your post history I saw a poll that you posted asking about what would your viewers prefer - and the majority of the answers to two of the options, which amounted to "don't change too much from what you're currently doing. My surprise was that in light of that, your editor has chosen to go with the pop-in-and-out style that got the minimum number of votes. 🤔🤷♂ Like you said, maybe it's just your editor's preferred editing style, but maybe you could try to get a more viewer-friendly change in place? You *are* paying that person, right? 😋 (You did say that you were going to be hiring an editor when that poll went out; if it's something that doesn't involve pay, then disregard my assumption here. 😆)
Anything that could be adjusted to make it less jarring and popping in-and-out would be much appreciated. But regardless; this really was an enjoyable watch - I was laughing as much as you were because of just how funny you were finding things in this classic movie! 👍 And thanks for taking the time to reply to me!
