Blazing Saddles New Sheriff Reaction | Katherine Jaymes

[@robertburke5354]

Although some people don't get it, this is arguably one of the most anti-racist movies of all time, and also one of the funniest movies of all time. Humour can be a powerful weapon.

[@dang1861]

True. The white people come off looking silly. Mel Brooks also said he couldn't make this movie today

[@M0rmagil]

Old school anti racism. Current anti racism is just strait up racism. This movie was low level genius. 😁

[@voodoochild1975az]

Consider that you could summarize the plot as 'A black sheriff and his white buddy overcome racism to save a town'

[@M0rmagil]

@@voodoochild1975az and laugh every step of the way! 😂

[@pdczrwnskz]

Nobody is safe from stereotypes in this movie. You can’t get mad at one and not the other so it’s best to just laugh at the joke and realize that the people are acting in a spoof western movie and everything is just for laughs.

[@Overlord0011]

I can't suggest this movie enough. Even without the overall message, it's funny as hell!

[@coachmikesfilmroom3111]

Greatest comedy ever

[@Britcarjunkie]

You NEED to see the entire film: it's cinematic gold.

It stopped too soon. He says, "Baby, you are so good. And THEY are so dumb."

[@RobRager]

The clip ended just as he started telling himself “Oh baby, you are sooo talented… and they are SO dumb!”

[@robertburke5354]

It's a great line, and the perfect ending to that whole scene. It's a shame that it was missing from the clip.

[@davidjustsimplefun8484]

You seriously need to review the entire movie. It is without a doubt one of the funniest movies ever made :)

[@steph990]

The clip ends before the punchline. “Baby, you are so good! And they are so DUMB.” 🤣🤣🤣

[@nono7105]

I came to comment this exact thing. Why would it end there of all places?!

[@linksysroutenoh.3460]

1) The part right after the cutoff was Sheriff Bart saying "Oh, baby! You are so talented.... and they are so dumb!" 2) Subtle joke. The chairman said "... extend to you a laurel and hearty handshake.". That was a reference to the comedy team Laurel and Hardy. 3) The reason it was rated "R" is because at the time this came out, "NC17" didn't yet exist. 4) And as others have said, you really need to watch the whole movie. 5) Also, this came out in 1974. Guess what else came out the same year? Young Frankenstein, also by Mel Brooks. Both of them are in the top 10 funniest movies ever made.

[@pabbischannel8812]

This is one of the funniest movies ever made. Compared to the sanitized, never-offensive slop that passes for comedy today, it is a masterpiece.

[@Braktooth]

"A laurel, and hearty handshake." I love the way they slide that in there.

[@brianfisher6165]

This movie is the funniest anti-racism movie ever made, it shows just how stupid racist’s are and racism is!!! Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder are fantastic together. Mel Brooks wrote the black parts and Richard Pryor wrote the white parts. I would suggest reacting to the whole movie!!!👌👍✌️😁

[@iggilendios9903]

After filming the movie Mel Brooks said, " We are probably all getting arrested for this ." He was a genius.

[@robstyles8535]

People today: “you can’t make a movie like this today.” Mel Brooks: “you couldn’t make a movie like this in 1974 either.”

But people now go out of their way to feel offended. I don’t think it could fly today.

[@cesareo13]

@@ssjup81 well, your strategy of “it won’t be made because people will get outraged” hasn’t worked yet since stuff that offends people is still getting made. Maybe people aren’t “going out of their way” to get offended as you’re suggesting but are more vocal about it. A pretty big segment of the world population has access to a personal social media account. It’s our own personal bullhorn. Have you ever been on Yelp?! You want to see outrage, take a gander at that!

John Wayne summed it up best. He was asked to star in it. His reply "No way in hell will I star in it but I'll sure as hell be first in line to see it!"

This whole movie is like this. Mel Brooks mocked racism and other injustices in his movies in unique ways. As Heidi Fedor comments below, Richard Prior wrote all the racism jokes in this movie. There are a lot of them and, though this might be the funniest one, there are other gems. Its a good movie.

[@VegasFilmCritic]

You missed the PUNCH LINE at the end! - "Baby you are so talented, and they are so DUMB!"

No one gets the joke anymore about "A Laurel, and Hardy Handshake." Laurel and Hardy were a very famous film comedy team of the 1920's, 30's 40's. the reference was to them. Normally if from my generation, even as a 2nd hand fan of Laurel and Hardy reruns on TV, from the next generation, you guys would be laughing at that.

"Oh baby, you are so talented, and they are so dumb."

[@jamesschmidt6993]

You guys need to watch Blazing Saddles. That movie could not be made today. The reason it's rated R is because of the language used throughout the movie.

[@IggyStardust1967]

This movie is a brilliant satire. It hits racism, the tropes of Hollywood genre productions, and... well, just watch the whole film. It really is a gem.

[@michaeljohnson9301]

Blazing Saddles was released in the 1970s Mel Brooks was the director and he made a conscious effort to make fun of all of the stereotypes of the time if you liked this part you'll love the whole movie

[@terryloh8583]

I second that. It was co-written by the late, great Richard Pryor. If you like comedy, and if you like comedy with a point (a very sharp one), this is an absolute must see. That scene is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@kwams26]

It's worth a watch. It makes the racists seems like the idiots they are and is one of Gene Wilders' better roles, IMO.

[@cameronladd1788]

Blazing Saddles is great because, more than just being a "western-movie parody," it sends up racism in hilarious fashion and puts it in its place. One of the most uproariously funny movies ever made depicts characters who triumph over racism. That's why it's one of my favorites.

[@oldnumber5866]

This is the funniest movie ever made, it makes fun of racists and stereotypes. It was made back in 1974 but you couldn’t make this movie now a days. You need to watch the whole movie to see everything great about it. I loved the shocked look on your faces, definitely a true reaction.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Actually, Brooks said you couldn't make it back then either, but he did anyway.

[@lladnar69]

The "R" rated for sexual content is the sections of the movie that starred Madeline Kahn as Lilly Von Schstoop. Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks wrote 90% of the script and Richard was supposed play the sheriff. I think Clevon Little nailed it with that movie. Awesome. Hilarious.

[@thomasmcintosh390]

the poster edited out the punch line. "You are so talented. And they are so dumb!"

[@johngraham3475]

Funniest line from that movie? "You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know...morons." I laugh every time I see Gene Wilder say that.

[@bandi138138]

The best thing about that line is that the last bit of that line was improvised. Cleavon Little's laugh was genuine.

[@davidktd]

There is zero evil intent in this movie. It points out the idiocy of bigotry in the same way that Monty Pythons life of Brian shows the craziness of organised religion

Richard Prior was one of the major writer for this film and and between him and Mel they made sure that EVERYONE was insulted repeatedly, this film showed how stupid racism is because they treated everyone exactly the same... Badly! Note - Near the end of the film, the comment "Not the Irish" was because Mel asked the film crew if the had failed to insult anyone during production and several of the Irish workers said that they had been missed out. Also read the names on the board during the town meeting but no comments about...being in the 'family' way.
