[@GibsonDelGiudice]

The thing about Mel is that, for good or for ill, he really is a laugh-a-minute guy. You don't get breathing time between jokes. He just hits you with as many punchlines, be they brilliant or dumb, deep or shallow, as possible, and you've got to keep up or just collapse in a heap of hysterics. And, so far, no one else can do that successfully.

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

We wouldn't want it any other way

[@everforward5561]

That's one of Mel's comedy rules, by his own mouth. If you machine gun someone with jokes, at least some of them have to hit.

[@josharaujo4005]

I dont get it. I have never ever laughed to anything in his movies. They're just pure cringe

@@josharaujo4005 Well, here's a revolutionary concept: if you don't vibe with someone's work, you don't have to engage with it, or content about it, or someone else's words about content about it. It takes all sorts to make a world, and we can like and dislike whatever we please without entering a space where people clearly like it to offer unsolicited opinions. Have a wonderful day!

There was a tribute to Mel Brooks at the Kennedy Honors. It featured celebrities performing musical numbers from his movies beginning with Martin Short atop a horse and ending with Matthew Broderick.

We paid our ticket for whatever E.T., and we snuck into “History” instead. We laughed our brains off!!! This is still one of the most brilliant, and funniest movies ever.

This and Young Frankenstein are my favourite Mel Brooks movies. Saw this back in 1980 when I was 12 with both of my parents. Were Jewish, and during The Inquisition, I thought my parents were going to fall out of their chairs they were laughing so hard. One of Mel’s absolute best bits of comedy.

To answer your question of the "Walk this way" joke, according to my research, it's an old vaudville joke of: "A fat woman walks into a store looking for talcum powder, and the bow-legged pharmacist says 'Walk this way' in response, the woman says 'If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need talcum powder!'"

The agent's name, Swiftus, is a play on Irving "Swifty" Lazar, a very famous Hollywood agent who represented Cary Grant, Ernest Hemingway, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Richard Nixon, and a lot of other famous people. His was what you'd call a household name. ( Mel's films are full of jokes almost no one gets anymore.) At some point, you really should check out "The Twelve Chairs". It's one of Mel's best but it's rarely mentioned. His second film, it depicts crazed hijinks during the Russian Revolution, centering on a set of dining chairs that everyone wants to get their hands on. It features what I think is one of the best movie theme songs ever written, "Hope For The Best, Expect The Worst". Pretty much the entire Russian mindset in song form. A hilarious movie that should get a lot more love. :)

Some fun facts: • You had no reaction, so I am guessing that you were not aware that the guy in Rome describing the centerfold to the beautiful model was Hugh Hefner, the actual publisher of Playboy Magazine. • The exterior of Caesar's Palace was actually shot in Las Vegas. It wasn't a set designed to look like it. • Caesar was played by Dom DeLuise. He was also the voice of Pizza the Hut in Spaceballs and the director Buddy Bizarre at the end of Blazing Saddles. • The nuns doing the synchronized swimming during the Spanish Inquisition is a spoof of a kind of movie from the 1930s (I think) made by a guy named Busby Berkeley. He specialized in scenes where gorgeous women swim around much like they did in this movie.

I saw Sid Caesar and Jackie Mason in here. They were big stand-up and on TV. Engelbert Humperdinck was a popular singer that the ladies swooned over.

[@brentharker7868]

Great reaction guys. The more comedies Mel made the more celebs wanted a cameo in them. Like the main guy in the prehistoric bit was Sid Caesar, the guy who gave Brooks his big break in the 50s tv comedy/variety trailblazing hit, Your Show of Shows. That was Hugh Hefner (billed as Roman Entrepreneur) selling the concept of a centerfold. Even Henny Youngman the king of the Borst Belt one-liner's (Take my wife, please!) played the Roman Chemist. Of course , many of his posse appeared here as well. like Dom De Luise, who played Nero was also the Godfather figure in Robin Hood and the Director for the Broadway Dance scene in Blazing Saddles. Madam Defarge, the hag who punctured her breast was the great Cloris Leachman and of course others. Mel Brook's (Kaminsky) zany style was formed in Borst Belt, the 1930's and 40's, Jewish comedy and musical reviews performed at the Resorts in the Catskill Mountain in upstate New York. If you like Mel's work you should check out another inheritor of that tradition and Mel's co-creator of the clever TV Spy-spoof series, Get Smart, namely Buck Henry. He penned, What's Up Doc (with a young Madeline Kahn), Catch 22 (Mash was derivative of this classic), The Graduate (featuring Brook's real life wife as Mrs. Robinson), and many more. Be the 1st reactors to blaze this trail and you won't regret it!
