Poll question: Heres a TOUGH One! Funniest Mel Brooks Movie!
Edited on Sun Mar-04-07 11:42 AM by MarianJack
I have several How about you?

Off Hand, I wasn't crazy about "High Anxiety" or "To Br Or Not Ot Be", even with (Anne Bancroft), but I know that many here love those movies. I also know that with 10 slots, I can't get all of then in, so the trusty "other" comes in handy.

By the way, "Its Good to be da King!". Might this be dumbya's personal motto?

1. I love 'YF' but 'Blazing Saddles' makes me howl!
Richard Pryor helped out with the script, so there you have it.

:D

p.s. nothing against Cleavon Little but I would have lurved to see RP as the Sheriff.

2. It's a three way tie for me between "History of the World", "The Producers" and "Blazing Saddles"

6. I love parodies. So Space Balls and Men in Tights, etc.
Mel Brooks is one funny guy!

7. It's not that tough - "The Producers" is the only one I find consistently funny...
The rest? They have their moments, but that's about it for me.

8. Where's SpaceBalls?!?!
Personally, I never found Blazing Saddles all that funny. It had me in stiches a few times, and the whole thing was somewhat humorous, but SpaceBalls had me rolling from beginning to end.

Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot. I said across her nose, not up it!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir. Doing my best.
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
Major Asshole: I did sir. He's my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that!....What's his name?
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir, Major Asshole
Dark Helmet: and his cousin?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole too sir: Gunner's mate, first class, Philip Asshole
Dark Helmet: How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?
The Crew: YO!!!!
Dark Helmet: I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes
**Dark Helmet pulls his mask down**
Dark Helmet: Keep firing assholes!!

Maybe it's a generational thing. Those who grew up on westerns are more in favor of Blazing Saddles, while those of us who grew up on Star Wars are more in favor of SpaceBalls :shrug: (not all theories are good ones, but there's mine)
