Everyday I get comments about bleeping words. I'm trying to keep ads on my video. Plain and simple and I know the hard R can get videos demonetized. I've been a KZbinr for 9 years across many channels in different niches. I have a good understanding of what flies and what doesn't on KZbin. "Why bleep that word, but not other slurs?" Again, I know what words get auto-flagged. Just like in other videos how I blur blood in some scenes and not others. I'm navigating KZbin guidelines.

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

wow are people really complaining about that? ive seen some channels that just cut all the footage with those lines in it altogether and dont get shit about it

Jay Bond:. The problem they have about the censorship goes hand in hand with what you said at the end of your reaction. At the end of your reaction you said that you realized the movie wasn't as offensive as you initially thought because how they treated the sensitive subject matter in this movie. I think that's why so many reactors catches flack in the comments in regards to this movie. Once you see the movie the movie itself takes care of anyone feeling offended by what was is said in the movie. I'm an older black man and I have never been offended by this movie because I am laughing so hard that I didn't have time to be offended. I think this is one movie where reactors should just react to this movie without worrying about what the KZbin censors think. I will add this. I like how you edited your reaction on this movie. Your editing on this movie flowed better than many others who have reacted to this movie.

[@JayBondReacts]

@@beaujac311 Thank you. I pride myself on making the movies flow well in my reactions. Yeah, when you realize the joke is making fun of the racists there's not much to be offended by. I get where you're coming from, but censoring for KZbin is important (not only for the ads) but so you don't get community guidelines strikes which can get your channel removed completely. Saying the hard R in videos is definitely one of the things KZbin will take down channels for. The problem is, bots run KZbin so they don't understand what is fiction in a movie and what the creator themselves said. I have a 100k+ channel that is shadowbanned for something similar and I'm just trying to protect myself with this channel. Appreciate the feedback and hope this makes more sense as to why I censor some stuff.

The line "You know, morons." Was ad libbed, Clevon's reaction was perfect because it was natural

@Gerald H There was actually a film about him that was made in 1979, starring British comedic actor, Leonard Rossiter (known best for his roles in Rising Damp & The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin TV shows). The ironic thing is that Le Petomane's real name was Pujol, which kinda sounds rectal related as well. Allegedly he didn't actually fart as such as it was said that what he did was inhale air in through his rectum due to having full control of his rectal muscles, and would then exhale the same air rather than actual gas created in his body naturally.

The line, "You know morons" was ad lib by Wilder. Little's reaction was real. 6. The guy that was supposed to play Jim showed up the first day drunk so he was let go. Wilder agreed to do this movie for Mel Brooks only if Mel would direct Young Frankenstein for him. 7.

The phrase 'Wide wide world of sports" is from ABC network's program "ABC's Wide World of Sports" which features highlights from noteworthy sporting events such as the Olympics and other sports (not sure they still do this segment as it was popular in the 70's and 80's. Some of the jokes in "Blazing Saddles" you may not get unless you have seen western films and tv shows over the decades. Madeleine Kahn is doing a parody of German actress and singer Marlene Dietrich.

Hedy Lamar was a BEAITIFUL German/Jewish immigrant movie star in the 40s who was also a genius. I think she helped to develop Wifi. She sued Mel Brooks for the use of her name (it’s actually spelled Hedley in this movie).

Haha What?! That's wild.

[@nathandavis5099]

Hedy Lamar is one of the most fascinating people of Hollywood. During WWII she developed anti-jamming technology for US torpedoes. It wasn't implemented during the war, but it's the basis of WiFi, Bluetooth and most of the rest of our wireless tech today.

[@johnlee7164]

Hedy Lamar was suing a lot of people at the time who used her name for publicity. Mel Brooks was just pointing that out in his film by making Hedley and also got sued. But the lawsuit went nowhere.

[@gmaqwert]

It’s amazing how everybody misses the Laurel and Hardy joke

[@JayBondReacts]

Very likely a generational thing. I have no idea who Laurel and Hardy are. Warner Bros also kept blocking that specific scene with me because it's roughly an 8 second joke so it had to be cut. I assume other reactors also run into that same problem.

The surreal aspect of Blazing Saddles is what catapults it into greatness.

[@peregrinezane8828]

The answer to your question about how we got to where we are today with racism it's that people found it's more lucrative to push victimization than coexistence. The co-writer of this screenplay was Richard Pryor, who was supposed to play the sheriff but the studio fought it, was one of the many comedians and leaders who tried to remove the power of racist language, and it worked for awhile. People would at the idiots with distaste and ridicule, but then the preaching to be offended by everything took over and we are worse off now than a few years after this movie was released. Society had drained the power from racists then political leaders plugged it in and charged it back up.

[@justwatching6186]

Very well said.

[@tannercollins9863]

This is a whole load of BS. 1974 was 48 years ago, we still have racist today like we did back then because it was less than 50 years ago haha. Cancel culture was invented by the right because they're snowflakes and didn't like being called on their BS.

[@peregrinezane8828]

@@ckobo84 No, it has been ramped up for a couple of decades and is what fed todays cancel culture. For a little while nearly all racist terms were depowered. It makes people feel like an idiot to say the harshest insult they can think of, and have the reaction be a shoulder shrug and indifference from their victim. Now we have reached a point where they look for micro-aggressions and need a safe room to recover in. They gave the power back to the bullies and think they accomplished something.

I've seen the comments mentioning that you had to edit out a few parts. You still got quite a bit of good stuff in there though. One of the edited parts was the part where Bart is riding towards Rock Ridge as the new sheriff. Along the way, the man he greets is Count Basie, a popular jazz musician/bandleader from back in the day. Here he's playing a portion of "April in Paris" with his orchestra.

That's actually something that went over my head. I'm unfamiliar and knew it must have had significance but just didn't get it. One of those generational things I suppose.

[@chetstevens4583]

The good is Jay caught the 1 flavor joke, the bad is he edited the middle of the "Laurel and Hardy" handshake joke. Sad that this comedy duo is all but forgotten now. The good news is Abbot and Costello are seeing a resurgence due to Who's on First reactions.

[@JayBondReacts]

Hey, I wanted to keep that joke, Warner Bros blocked that specific section. I edited a full 6 minutes out of my initial upload and I'm not happy about it. 😢

Another similar Abbot and Costello style joke I had to cut down was the "meeting adjourned" joke. Basically any joke that was over 5 seconds had to be scrapped or edited in a crafty way.

[@caphowdy666]

As you say in the reaction, what Mel did with this film is turn things on it's head with regards to race. While it initially looks like a racist movie (and as you said with Mongo, they are out to offend everyone), once you get further in you realise that what he was doing is showing how bigoted some people can be (not just against race either). Mel used every single thing he could from black people, Chinese, Jewish, mentally disabled, gay & all points in between, to show how shitty some people can be, and in this film it's easy to see that the only bad guys were the white ones. (if you discount the bit with recruiting). I don't know a single person offended by this film as they all get what Mel was trying to achieve. Sadly, due to how things are now he would never be able to make a film like this now. It's sad that this kind of bigotry still exists, but it is also sad that even well meant humour like this is deemed offensive as well.

[@JayBondReacts]

Very well said. Thankfully everyone is on the joke. Everyone is getting cancelled these days for a Netflix standup show and it's a shame. There are certainly things that I find offensive but when it comes to comedy sometimes crossing the line is what makes some jokes hit harder like "Oh my god, I can't believe he just said that" with your reaction still chuckling. It's a super fine line though because not everyone has the same intentions. A balancing act when done well, like this, stands the test of time.

[@philmabarak5421]

Not one of my friends, not one of my minority friends or any group, is offended. They understand Satire! They understand who is being mocked ruthlessly. However, those that are in the hate groups are continually blaming OTHERS screaming that this movie can't be made today. It's not us, it's them. They are being indicted as the bigots and racist still projecting that onto others and blaming them about things like PC, which just is supposed to mean, "don't be a dic." But even that phrase has been hijacked by those that still have an insidious need to hate and ridicule. We want this movie classic aired in prime time UNEDITED. Especially in the south. "Where the white woman at" will send them into an outrage.

The best way I’ve heard it said is that this movie doesn’t depict racism as bad, it depicts it as stupid

[@tonyhaynes9080]

The reason that they reacted like that is, the cowboy spent a lot of time away from the ranch and towns, so rarely saw a woman. Let alone a woman dressed like that. They get excited and carried away especially when they have been consuming alcohol.

[@johnnehrich9601]

In Victorian times, a woman's bare ankle was scandalous. Even using certain words were taboo - like "leg" (they said "limb") or "breast" (substitute "limb"). There is a story - maybe not true - that one woman knitted little coverings for the legs on her piano. On the other hand, prostitution flourished.

[@HauntSlider]

One of the things I enjoy about this film is when people get all upset about the jokes, be it the racial ones or others. They're like "How was he allowed to make this movie?" Check the writing credits ;) The great Richard Pryor (RIP) wrote a good portion of it with Mel.

Mel Brooks is such a great comedian. He also plays three roles in this film. He’s the Governor, Indian Chief and an aviator standing in line to work on Lamar’s villain team. The actor that plays Lyle (Taggerts second in command) was having trouble using the “N” word around Clevon Little. Clevon took him aside and said “It’s not your words, you’re just reading a script” which made him feel better about the part. The scene where Mongo hits the horse the horse is trained that when it’s reign is pulled it turns it’s head that way and drops to the ground. The song that Lily Von Shtupp sings on stage Mel Brooks said was the dirtiest song he’s ever written. The fart scene was supposedly the first time it was done in a film. Mel Brooks sat in an editing room with an editor recording fart sounds and bringing anyone that happened to walk by the room inside to record their “fart” sounds.

[@JayBondReacts]

@@stevenmonte7397 Haha Wow!

[@johnnehrich9601]

I heard Pryor wrote roughly half the script. If you ever heard his nightclub routine, he peppered his lines the "n" word and I think this movie's use of it so many times is due to his writing.

History of the World Part 1 is another great Mel Brooks movie.. Madeline Kahn is in that as well

[@JayBondReacts]

I'll definitely be watching that one soon.

[@wfly81]

5:09 The Big Lebowski...David Huddleston. RIP

[@injunsun]

@22:30, I haven't looked forward to see if you ever did "Young Frankenstein." I will look, and if not, "yes, please." Oh, and look up Gene Willder's wonderful wife, Gilda Radner. She was an AMAZING talent on Saturday Night Live, and beyond. She was a wonderful person. I hope in the future you show more of the movies, not so much as to lose funds, but enough for others to understand wtf is going on. You know, gurl.

[@cellpoond9910]

Saw this at the drive-in in 1974. My favorite joke in the movie is one most people don't get. The railroad workers ask the townsfolk for homesteads for helping them build the fake town. After a quick huddle the townsfolk reply, " We'll take the n_____s and the ch___s but we won't take the Irish!" Of course most young people have no clue how the Irish were despised when they came here, primarily because they were Catholic. America has always hated Catholics, in 10 of the 13 colonies it was illegal to be Catholic. Mel Brooks called everyone on their bigotry.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Yep. There were Help Wanted signs that said "Irish need not apply"

[@JayBondReacts]

I definitely didn't understand that one. Despite a minor chuckle cause even without the bigger meaning it still worked, but that's great!

[@martinhafner2201]

The Irish have been semi-enslaved and abused for hundreds of years. They are probably the most universally abused racial group. They didn't technically get their full rights in Britain until late in the 20th century.

[@Jsspres]

Gene Wilder is also in The Producers (1967}. Other Mel Brooks movies with Madeline Kahn, are Young Frankenstein (1974), History of the World part 1(1981), and High Anxiety (1977)

[@JayBondReacts]

Excellent, thank you!

[@johnnehrich9601]

Randolph Scott was a leading man in dozens of westerns, but fell out of favor when news began to leak out of his decade-long relationship with Cary Grant.

[@wfly81]

"Watch that 'boy' shit, redneck. You're talking to the sheriff of Rock Ridge." Yeah, I'm white, but that is always so damn satisfying.

[@megabsupreme]

Loved this reaction. There a number of awesome 80s Gene Wilder comedies you may want to check out, esp. the ones he did with his wife Gilda Radner. Her death hit me hard as a kid because I loved her and her SNL sketches growing up. And you could tell how much she and Gene loved each other. I recommend Hanky Panky and Haunted Honeymoon. They also did The Woman in Red together, but Kelly LeBrock was more the love interest than Gilda. Haunted Honeymoon esp. was awesome largely because of Dom Deluise.

[@halslusher6030]

Horses were trained to fall down

[@MrTBoneSF]

Now you have to do Young Frankenstein, the other Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder/Madeline Khan collaboration from the same year. It's even funnier.

[@JayBondReacts]

I can't wait, honestly. My buddy told me that the guy from Princess Bride in the torture room is Igor too and he was hilarious, so I'm pumped!

[@MrTBoneSF]

@@JayBondReacts It's a great movie, but the guy from Princess Bride is not Igor. Igor is played by Marty Feldman who died in 1982 (years before Princess Bride was made).

[@JayBondReacts]

Oh okay, thanks. I just looked the guy up who Mel Smith, and I guess he got them mixed up. I guess they have a kind of similar look? I dunno lol Appreciate the clarification.

[@MWSin1]

For the theme song, they wanted someone who sounded like Frankie Laine, a famous vocalist who had sung the theme songs of several classic Westerns in film and television. When they put out the audition call, they were stunned when Frankie Laine himself showed up. They hired him on the spot, and he gave the recording 110%. Afterwards they realized nobody had told Laine that the movie was to be a parody, and they were so worried that he would be insulted.

[@JayBondReacts]

That's pretty great. Thanks for that piece of trivia.

Jesse Owens, 4 gold medals in 1936, 3 world's records.

[@gregjarnigan3515]

Brilliant commentary there, Chief. (eye-roll)

[@JayBondReacts]

What's your issue here?

[@ja37d-34]

One of my all time favs!

[@martinhafner2201]

Jesse Owens embarrassed Hitler at the 1936 olympics by winning a bunch of events. Some sprints and the long jump, I believe. 4 gold medals. So much for the master race!

Mongo is played by NFL defensive lineman Alex karis who played for the Detroit lions

[@islandsedition]

You so need to see "the Producers". Fantastic bit of Mel Brooks

[@raymondmoore5476]

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was a great duo. They got 3 movies together "Silver Streak", "Stir Crazy" & "See No Evil, Hear No Evil". I recommend them for great Gene comedy. "Robin Hood: Men In Tights", Life Stinks" "Spaceballs" & "Dracula: Dead And Loving It" are some I recommend for more Mel Brooks.

[@JayBondReacts]

Thank you! I have a couple of those on my list, but I'll take a look at those Gene Wilder ones! I reacted to Men in Tights recently which was an absolute blast!

[@SJPvideo]

Mel Brooks' "High Anxiety" is a double treat.... it's an amazing movie on its own but, if you're a fan of the classic Alfred Hitchcock films, Mel Brooks' pays homage to most of them throughout...... highly recommended for a review or just for fun.

[@JayBondReacts]

Oh right on! Would love see that one. I haven't seen all of Hitchcock's films but being a big horror fan I see a lot of references in other movies and watch videos breaking down some of the cinematography.

[@donreid6399]

"Where are all the white women at?" Truly the funniest line of the whole damned film! 🙂

[@chrispruett81]

Oh man... Young Frankenstein is FKN Hilarious!!!! You ever take the time to watch it.. I think you will enjoy it for sure!! Mel Brooks alone is a genius!! Gene Wilder is another genius!! Those 2 together.... Perfect! I do hope you react to that one at some point! :)

[@JayBondReacts]

I must, I must!

[@chrispruett81]

@@JayBondReacts LMFAO!!!! Wow Jay... Now that was funny AF!! But yes.. you should! Can't wait!! Anything Mel Brooks is a must! You should also do "Dracula-Dead And Loving It" Starring Leslie Neilson (Naked Gun) Another funny Mel Brooks Movie!

[@JayBondReacts]

Haha I will be doing that one as well. Gotta hold one or both till spooky season though. 😂

[@chrispruett81]

@@JayBondReacts As much as I am ready for your reaction to both.. I agree.. you should hold of on 1 or both! It would suck.. but not for that long!! haha.. Either way.. just ready for you to see them!! :)

You're going to love Young Frankenstein - my fav Mel Brooks along with this and History of the World Part 1

[@JayBondReacts]

Really excited for both of those!

[@janabraam7963]

Mel Brooks is a genius! Glad I stumbled across your channel. I've seen this too many times to count but I enjoyed it again today. You must see Young Frankenstein. Great reaction!

[@JayBondReacts]

Thank you! Welcome! I actually plan to watch Young Frankenstein shortly. Really looking forward to that one.

[@dztxtea]

The only way to watch this movie is full length, uncensored. I've seen it 100 times, but still cracks me up

[@JayBondReacts]

I watched it full length and uncensored. 😂 I'm confused. I edited this down.

[@southernwanderer7912]

Such a funny and unique movie at the time.

[@janedoe5229]

In the 1970's, in all the movies and on all the TV shows, as soon as someone was racist, you knew they were the bad guy and they were going to get taken down. So no one was offended at this movie's opening: we knew they were opening with the bad guys.

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Richard Pryor is part of the reason it goes so far

[@osnatashtaralevin8944]

23:08 - BTW this "gay director" is Dom Deluise - the same actor you didn't like Mel Brooks "indulging" as Don Giuvani in "Robin Hood Men in Tights"

[@Scsibut]

Great reaction one of my favorite movies. Going down the Mel Brooks rabbit hole of course you'll have to do Young Frankenstein but also want to do a reaction to the 1967 the producers I love that film and it's Mel Brooks's first

[@JayBondReacts]

So many people recommending The Producers it seems like I have watch at this point. 😂

[@teholympian]

@@JayBondReacts Probably the new one, not the 1967, which is MUCH funnier.

Greetings Jay Bond my name is Karl Avery Murray.I have seen this Movie in a release back in 1978.It is one of the funniest Movies ever made.Characters like Jim are based on other Movie characters.Jim,the Waco Kid was based on Dean Martins character from "Rio Bravo'. another western.The ending was surprising

[@JayBondReacts]

Oh, that's great! Admittedly I have not seen Rio Bravo. I actually haven't seen any westerns, but that's what this channel is all about. So perhaps I'll check that out at some point. Thank you!

[@boqndimitrov8693]

Whatever we say about Mel Brooks will not be enough. So, let's limit ourselves to: Good job, sir! Very, very good !!

[@janedoe5229]

You MUST do Young Frankenstein: Gene Wilder, Madelyn Kahn, Terri Garr and Marty Feldman. And they shot it all just like the old horror movies.

And you need to watch Cherokee Kid as well!! Another good comedy with western 👍

as to drinking making your hand shake? yah.. delirium tremens is the thing , mostly caused by withdrawal. Shaking's just a part of it o.o!
