One of the best moments of my life was when I got to meet Harvey Korman and had him sign my copy of "Blazing Saddles". I told him "It's always been my dream to meet Heddy Lamar!" and he replied, "It's HEDLEY!" Everyone died laughing. It's one of those moments you cherish forever.

Ha!-Ha! Hilarious comment, KATE! Thanks for sharing with us your recollection of meeting HEDLEY Lamarr! (For the record, my all-time favorite "Hedy" Lamarr movie? 'Tortilla Flat', without a doubt.) I'll never forget watching Harvey Korman, time and time again, week after week, struggling to keep from laughing out loud while acting in skits with Tim Conway on 'The Carol Burnette Show'.

The absolutely FUNNIEST part of each movie was Jack Elam, at the end, explaining what happened to the main characters! In "Sheriff", he said about himself "And I go on to become one of the most beloved characters in western history!" In "Gunfighter" his line was "And I go on to make a big name for myself in Italian westerns!". And he DID

This "A Word on Westerns" episode just makes me smile. Like all lists there are always other films that could be included, but I think you nailed it Rob. The minor throw away line in Blazing Saddles " We don't need no stinking badges" has served me with the word badges being replaced with whatever since the day I first saw this movie in theaters. Jack Elam's scene stealing role in Support Your Local Sheriff, cemented him as not just a western villain, but a superbly talented actor who parts in subsequent films and TV shows were greatly expanded to make full use of his talent. Thanks for this great Sunday morning treat, to start the day, and the week. I'm already looking forward to what your cooking up for next week.

Great video! Very obscure, but the Marx Brothers "Go West" is my personal favorite after Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks, however, really was revolutionary when it came to his talent at taking the fears, insecurities, prejudices, and ignorance that exist in humanity and exploiting them to comically reveal the worst of humanity! The greatest path to pave for the likes of Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Sacha Baron Cohen, The Kids in the Hall, Seth MacFarlane and their contemporaries. Again, great video! Thank you for this!

I saw Way Out West with Laurel and Hardy at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum back in the early 1980s while on vacation with my dad. Glad to see you included my favorite scene (where Hardy's neck gets stretched). Laurel and Hardy are the funniest comedy duo by far. They could make standing in an empty room absolutely hysterical within a few short minutes.

The Pale Face was one of the funniest comedies ever made regardless of genre. I thought it was way funnier than any Road picture he made. I have two copies of the original sheet music to Buttons and Bows with both of them on the cover. There was not a doubt in my mind what #1 would be....at least in my book. Again one of the funniest comedies of all time regardless of genre.

Although it's generally regarded as one of their lesser films, I've always enjoyed the Marx Brothers in _Go West_ (1940). Likewise, despite its political incorrectness (i.e. blackface), there is the early Technicolor film _Whoopee!_ (1930) starring Eddie Cantor.
