Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and The Producers are the Mel Brooks Holy Trilogy to me.

[@josephkunkle2559]

Please make "Young Frankenstein " your next watch. It's incredibly funny, a Mel Brooks classic (he did it right after. "Blazing Saddles ") and VERY appropriate for Halloween .

[@maximillianosaben]

You know, I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan, but I just don't find Young Frankenstein funny at all. I don't know why it's the one Mel Brooks that doesn't amuse me, especially since Gothic Horror is my THING.

[@TheMrcrazy711]

Adam Hall I think it’s a lot funnier in the context of the original Frankenstein Movie, but if you’ve already seen that and still didn’t find Young Frankenstein funny then I think it’s fair. It’s a lot dryer and feels more like Gene Wilders humour than Mel Brooks humour.

[@wkanost]

Adam Hall - I think the difference is YF is played straight. Whereas his other films are much more broadly written and acted. Brooks really wanted to put YF characters in the same atmosphere as the originals were. So there isn’t as much “Hey we’re in a movie here!” Comedy as you’ll see in Blazing Saddles or Spaceballs.

[@dankrueger9135]

[@amexgirl84]

I want to add my vote to a watching of Young Frankenstein. However, I would highly suggest that you watch the original Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff first. It’s quite a bit older than the other movies you have watched, but it should be easy to find and it is a classic film. Mel Brooks is a huge fan of the original and even managed to use some of the same props and decorations for Young Frankenstein. They would be two movies perfect for October. Love your reactions and can’t wait for more.

[@extrasmack]

THIS ^^ I can't agree strongly enough. 👍

[@OneWrytyr]

Young Frankenstein was just as good as Blazing Saddles and would make a great Halloween movie. Also a great idea to go and watch the original first. It'll give Mel's movie context and his jokes will be funnier knowing the reference. Gene Hackman even makes an appearance!

[@j.m.74]

"Robin Hood: Men in Tights" is a good Mel Brooks comedy, and somewhat more recent than the others you've reviewed as it came out in the 90's. Towards the end Sir Patrick Stewart did an awesome job playing King Richard (in my opinion, at least). There are a few scenes with Dave Chappelle doing a short (story recap) rap & dance routine that I believe haven't held up over time & just felt cringe worthy last time I watched the dvd, I don't want to say too much more about it (spoilers) but it is a dang good movie, definitely worth watching at least once. Also, I agree with other posts suggesting Young Frankenstein as a spooky time movie review. 😁 🎃

[@RossM3838]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Zero mostel gene wilder dick Shawn and Kenneth Mars. It’s only around 80 minutes long and moves like a jet plane. Kenneth Mars gives new meaning to the word inspired, a time like this calls for schnapps!

One of Mel Brooks' best movies is Young Frankenstein, which will be in keeping with the Halloween theme. But it would be best to see Frankenstein (1931), The Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, and Ghost of Frankenstein first. You have just enough time to watch all of these each Monday between now and Halloween. Mel Brooks saw the first two in the theater, and was reluctant at first to do a parody, because he loved them so much. Clive Barker, creator of the Hellraiser series, says that Bride of Frankenstein is the best horror movie ever made, and he's not the only one. I have to admit that the second two aren't as good, but they are referenced directly in Young Frankenstein.

Beetlejuice for spooky season - has to be. I'm always so shocked by how many people your age haven't seen it!!! & it's funny. Edit: Oooh & Gremlins obvs, although that could be Xmas too but is defo a bit dark - haha.

[@JayPatrol]

I love your reactions in these movies. I could have you over all the time to watch movies 😁

[@kg4wwn]

For Spooky Season: Mel Brooks: Young Frankenstein Mel Brooks: Dracula Dead and Loving it And you thought you had to take a break.

[@chrissandoval7675]

if you're gonna throw in dead and loving it, let's throw in men in tights.

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Chris Sandoval that’s not spooky

[@chrissandoval7675]

@@GokuInfintysaiyan alright, i was just going off the mel brooks theme. if you want spooky mel brooks, i'd go with elephant man. yeah, he kept his name out of the credits because he didn't want people to think it was a comedy. so, if you really want a creepypasta brooks movie, watch elephant man. it's dark as hell and incredibly moving.

[@spidermonkeysumo]

Young Frankenstein for October... best Mel brooks movie ever!!!

[@neilcaress9036]

The actor pushing the birds out of the prison window was the late great Spike Milligan. On his grave stone he had engraved "I told you I wasn't well"

YAY!!!! Monday isn't so bad anymore!

Yeah, now Tuesday is the worst day... having to wait 6 days 🥴

Spooky Season suggestion with a comedy twist: Shaun of the Dead.

[@irakopilow9223]

Shaun of the Dead is a good one, and so is Hot Fuzz

[@malk67]

Also "Juan Of The Dead".

[@MrPonolicious]

Ashleigh is the cutest thing ever! Love these reactions. Can’t wait for her to watch Young Frankenstein. Much love from Hawaiʻi.

[@LoneKnight77]

If you want some "mel" for spooky season. There is Young Frankenstein.....Right up your alley. Also has Gene Wilder and Madeline Khan. Take care and really enjoy these videos.

[@zuzax1656]

Agreed. This makes for a great transition from Mel Brooks to spooky season in just 1 film.

[@johngraesser4911]

i just watched a video interview of mel, and he discussed the fact that orson welles did the narration for this movie, and did it so well he was done in one day's work.

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

That’s John Hurt as Jesus!

[@Capt.SlightlyBlueBeard]

I bet it hurt as Jesus, especially when they crucified him.

Dracula: Dead and Loving it. Has both Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielson.

[@xander66644]

Young Frankenstein is the movie for you to see. Young Frankenstein destroys the other three films....not only is it funny, it has a good story!

[@redsands1001]

The empress choosing her escorts is the reason I sing no, no, no, yes, no, no yes... etc in my head when choosing things

[@SAVikingSA]

I like that she didn't understand the line "the jig is up", though it makes sense because younger people aren't exposed to racism of that sort as much. Trust me, it's hilarious in context.

[@HARLEYMK69]

''Dracula: Dead and loving it'' and “Young Frankenstein”

[@markplott4820]

Mystery Men.

[@Theomite]

DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT sucks. Always has, and it pisses me off that that was Brooks' last film. He needed one more to rinse that out of his career.

[@michaeldoran4831]

When I think of Mel Brooks’ outstanding film catalogue, Dracula: Dead and Loving It never even comes to mind. There were a couple of decent gags in it, but it was by far not his best work. It is to Mel Brooks fans what The Last Jedi is to Star Wars fans. Best to just not go there.

[@isabeljimenez6067]

Poltergeist has a lot of fond memories for people who saw it at a young age, but it's honestly not scary. I would recommend for scary season...... 1) The Exorcist 2) The Omen 3) Rosemary's Baby 4) Evil Dead II (you can skip 1. 2 is really a reimagining of 1. It's as if Sam Raimi thought..... hmmm, I can do that better with a bigger budget. And he did. They are technically the same story) 5) Ginnger Snaps 6) Martyrs (french version. English is crap) 7) Suspiria 8) The Shining 9) Hellraiser 10) Candyman

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

John Carpenter’s THE THING though Also Evil Dead 2 is the greatest movie ever made but she should watch the whole collection if she can

[@duffermod1]

Mel Brooks was a genius . Try to find him doing stand up . Also look up Gene Wilder who actually came up with the idea of Young Frankenstein . Also look up Spike Milligan who totally influenced the Pythons .

[@Frankincensedjb123]

"Occupation?" "Gladiator" "Did you kill last week?" "No." "Did you try to kill last week?"

Greatest comedy of all time: animal house. Watching it should be a requirement.

[@cammybaby01]

@Robertson Thirdly I would have thought the same thing about holy grail, but she did it on he re like a month ago.

[@Theomite]

She will *NOT* dig on ANIMAL HOUSE. The jokes have *not* aged well.

[@davidhunter1282]

I did NOT like Animal House. I couldn't get through the whole thing.

[@ystava686]

I've been binging on your videos tonight while putting my kids to sleep. You are great.

[@chaospoet]

My all time favorite comedy. The more you watch this the more you appreciate the timing of the jokes and it makes it that much funnier. But my all time favorite quote from this movie is hands down "It's good to be the King." I say that from time to time and if someone gets the quote they're instantly my friend for life. lol

[@fellforit]

The girl in the low dress in the last sketch is Australian born comedienne Pamela Anderson, who later married BIlly Connolly. Her 'dad' is Spike Milligan, member of the Goons, who had a heavy influence on the Monty Python team.

[@Fu5i0n]

History of the World is one of my fave films of all time. I watched it dozens of times in the 80s, and my best mate & I still quote it. You need to watch Young Frankenstein and The Producers also. Spooky season recommendations: Hellraiser Nightmare on Elm Street

[@legionaireb]

Ashleigh: We're going to have to call a halt to Mel Brooks for Spooky Season. Young Frankenstein: AM I NOTHING TO YOU?!?!?!

[@allencampbell3350]
