[@TheMirandalorianReacts]

First off... i just want to say that this is seriously my favorite movie of all time! I have been quoting it non-stop for the past week, and laughing hysterically to myself whenever scenes pop into my head. This movie has awakened something in me that i cannot explain! Reading the comments has brought me so much happiness, you have no idea! Fun fact: idk why i just clicked so fast with this movie, but i think it's because growing up, i had so many people in my life thay had this EXACT same sense of humor, and i have always found Gene Wilder to be one of the funniest people! I guess i have the people in my life to thank for always joking like this, and just being funny people in general! I'm so glad so many people loved this reaction! If i ever need other hilarious movies recommendations, i'm coming to comments section of this video 🤣

[@neutrino78x]

yeah anything mel brooks and/or gene wilder you know it's going to be good 🙂 you look really cute in this video and always look beautiful 🙂 have you tried "Airplane 2: the sequel"? also the "hot shots" movies and "naked gun" movies 🙂 (naked gun has the guy who played the doctor in airplane as a hilarious detective) 🙂 also "princess bride" I'm not sure if you have watched that one, it is one of my favorite movies of any genre 🙂

[@Skywiser01]

I mean, you seemed synergistic with the lines in saying them right before they showed up in the movie so not surprised you connected so thoroughly with it. Glad you have a new favorite that is an absolute classic.

[@bryancurtis220]

I grew up watching Gene Wilder movies, Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, Monty Python and other comedy greats that have since gone. But I love them all dearly, and thank them for giving me my particular sense of humor.

[@villayan6522]

If you like music and comedy I would recommend "The Blues Brothers." John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are hilarious in it and the music is the best of any movie I've seen imo,

[@billbabcock1833]

Hackman did this for free. He and Wilder were long time friends and Wilder was talking about the screenplay. Hackman had made some great movies but he had never been in a comedy. He asked if there might be a little part for him. So they came up with this scene.

[@jerryanoia2334]

Wife and I met Gene Wilder and his wife at a small airport in NY state. Just happened to be sitting facing each while waiting for our planes. My wife whispered in my ear, that guy looks just like that actor. I looked up from my phone, smiled and said it’s him or he has a twin brother. Gene just smiled back. The four of us spoke for about 20 minutes. Other around didn’t seem to notice him. Spoke mainly about family. They were flying to see their grandkids, we were heading home after visiting ours. I only quietly mentioned and thanked him for how much joy and laughs he has given us. Didn’t want to bring attention to him. He looked exactly like you would expect. Frizzy hair, chino slacks, plaid shirt, nothing elaborate about him. Truly a wonderful person, no pretense of being famous. Our plane was called first. As we said goodbyes and started to walk away, he took my wife’s hand smiles and said,” don’t forget to write.” No we had not exchanged addresses. 🙂❤

[@EvilSean62]

OMG .. so nice of him not to be a star .. just to be a normal ppl ...but not in a condescending way

[@dadbodthirsttrap]

Young Frankenstein trivia that you might enjoy. This movie was Gene Wilder's baby. When Mel Brooks approached him to play Jim in "Blazing Saddles" Wilder said he would only do it if Mel Brooks helped him make "Young Frankenstein". I really wish they had worked together more often because they made some amazing movies together.

[@thedealer777]

The laboratory set in "Young Frankenstein" was the EXACT SAME SET used in the original 1931 "Frankenstein " film. Also, Hackman's line, "I was going to make Espresso," was an adlib by him, and made Brooks laugh so much he kept it in the film.

[@TheGoauldApophis]

Not the same set, but the same lab equipment. They actually got really lucky. Universal didn't keep that stuff back then, but it turned out that the set designer for the original was still alive and just happened to have all the lab stuff from Frankenstein in boxes in his garage.

[@Owlaf]

according to the commentary, Mel had to keep a towel in his mouth so he wouldn't laugh while filming the movie.

[@thedealer777]

@@Owlaf Brook's comedy roots go deep to the '50s. He was a YOUNG writer on your "Show of Shows" with Sid Caesar and a legendary writing staff that at one time or another included: Carl Reiner (The Two-Thousand Year-Old Man), Larry Gilbert (MASH), Neil Simon (playwright -"The Odd Couple"), and Woody Allen. Also watch "My Favorite Year." Produced by Brooks, it's loosely based on his week babysitting guest star Errol Flynn on "Your Show of Shows."

It happens when you watched the movie previously

[@jcorbett9620]

The actress you were referring to who was also in 'Blazing Saddles', was the late Madelaine Kahn. She was a wonderful comedic actress and singer, but was sadly taken too soon with ovarian cancer at the age of 57. The "hair do" with the white streaks that Madelaine Kahn sported after meeting the monster, was actually a reference to the movie 'Bride of Frankenstein', the follow up to the first original Frankenstein movie. Elsa Lanchester, who played 'The Bride' was given the same style wig to wear.

[@ertnunn6933]

I really hope we get to watch her watch ‘Mixed nuts’ for more Madelaine.

[@benjaminroelofs6392]

And she was fantastic in the movie Clue (amongst many others). If you haven't seen Clue... you should consider that for one of your first watch reactions. ;)

[@XS_Sanz]

Flash fact: Maddy rejected the more important role of Imgard and chose instead to play the Doctor's fiancee because she could make it funnier and create better scenes for the movie. Oh, yeah.

[@VinnieBartilucci]

It's fun watching people see a movie in which there is a parody or cultural reference of something they've not seen, but it's funny enough on its own, and then seeing the original thing later, and the penny drops, and they realize exactly HOW funny the previous scene is.

[@snerdterguson]

This comment perfectly describes watching people watch the show Community for the first time. Every five minutes they're like "oh, Houston we have an idiot... I know that meme" or something.

[@robertpayne8297]

My wife and I went to watch Young Frankenstein when it was first released. The theater was packed, which was not really a surprise due to the wild success of Blazing Saddles the year before. Interestingly, there were numerous references in this movie that so many people missed...from Kenneth Mars' wooden arm (see Cedric Hardwicke in "Son of Frankenstein"), to Madeline Kahn's striped hair (see Elsa Manchester in "Bride of Frankenstein"), to the cute line, "Pardon me, boy, is this the Transylvania Station" recalling Glenn Miller's famous "Chattanooga Choo Choo" big band hit. Those moments make the movie even funnier. Which is hard to do.

[@shinyagumon7015]

Madeline Khan is such a legend same as Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman is also hysterical. Also Fun Fact: The lab props are actually the original ones from 1931. The stage designer kept them at home.

My favorite scene is when Dr. Fronkensteen has his crew lock him in the room with the creature--from his frantic begging for them to let him out, to his charming of the creature, and culminating with his maniacal, *_"MY NAME IS....FRANKENSTEIN!!!"_*

[@RealRonSwanson]

9:40. That line; "Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania Station?" And all the way up to "Can I give you a shine?" Is a spoof of lyrics in the Glenn Miller Orchestra's 'Chattanooga Choo Choo,' a huge hit from the '40's.

[@BEBruns]

There’s one Terri Garr movie that I don’t think anyone has reacted to and seems to have disappeared from popular memory: “Oh, God.” At the time it was popular enough to get two sequels and even knocked Star Wars off the top of the box office charts. And of course it generated knee-jerk condemnation from certain religious groups.

[@putinscat1208]

Teri has had MS for probably the last 25 years, and she also had some brain aneurysm in 2006. We didn't get to see enough of her.

[@kevincosta9228]

You have to see the movie "Frankenstein" from 1936 to truly appreciate the brilliance of this movie. IIRC, Brook's production crew contacted the prop master from the original movie and he hooked them up with the laboratory props that were used in 1936.

There's a deleted scene of him approaching a man playing the violin, asking to hold it and then smashing it over his knee. The man asks why he did it and Frankenstein replies, "I didn't do that" and in the end is saying "I didn't do that, are you INSANE?!?!"

The line of Igor which almost made Wilder break up when meeting the fiance was "You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban", done as a Groucho Marx impersonation. Marty Feldman used to do comedy in England with members of Monty Python before that troupe was formed - see At The Last 1948 Show.

I KNEW you'd completely lose it at "Puttin' On The Ritz". Thank you so much, I feel like I watched this again for the first time with you, it was a delight to see how much you enjoyed it! Out of the things you edited out, my favourite was the moment where Eyegor plays a couple of counterpoint lines to the violin on a horn. Cracks me up so much. Marty Feldman is brilliant. A couple of notes from an older person: 1. "Can I give you a shine?" isn't just a rhyme, it's an entire song. The Chattanooga Choo Choo. :) 2. The slow start was normal in the 1930s, that's how films started. Often they simply ended with a "The End" card and it was over in seconds. A far cry from today's eight-minute credit rolls!

[@malomodo]

It's amazing how well Mel Brooks recreated that genre, it even sounded like an old movie with the loud footsteps and echo-y rooms.

If you love comedians breaking character and laughing, the old Carol Burnett Show had many of those moments. Tim Conway made Harvey Kormann laugh all the time. The most famous skits were the dentist sketch and the elephant story.

[@RDRussell2]

And you'll recognize Harvey Kormann from some Mel Brooks movies, too! I've read that Lorne Michaels, producer of SNL, dislikes whenever his cast "breaks." I've never understood why, it can lead to some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see. The Lindsay Lohan/Debbie Downer/Disney skit is one of the funniest ever, precisely because they all crack up laughing. (Horatio Sanz seen wiping tears from his eyes with a Mickey waffle?! I'm sure that wasn't in the script!)

This has always been my favorite Mel Brooks movie, it's a parody, but is also an homage to the original 1931 movie, to the point that laboratory equipment props from the original where used in the lab scenes of this one. The humor, the jokes and gags, are nonstop yet they feel somehow subtle, so they hit so much harder. I guess it's all in the delivery.

[@theosolberg]

Yes, I can say, Gene was really genuine. Back in 1984 I have spent a whole day at Paramount in his company, when I sat in at a recording session to the score of The Woman in Red (at Glen Glenn Sound). There were scenes of the movie running on a big screen to which the music was being recorded. Gene would quote lines from the movie. Gene had quite a mesmerizing voice, he was so good at using that quality when he wanted to. When I later saw the move, I heard those same lines that he quoted at the studio. And the lines had the same expression, the same timing, everything. That day with Gene was a wonderful experience. What astonishes me a bit is that hardly any one seems to get the Chattanooga Choo Choo song reference in the scene at the railway station with the young boy. The conversation in the song between a traveller and a shoeshine boy: Pardon me boy, is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Yes, yes, track 29 Boy you can give me a shine

[@gheller2261]

Huge Mel Brooks fan, but I have never found The Producers funny. Movies of this genre that I like more are The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (Gene Wilder directed) and The Last Remake of Beau Geste (Marty Feldman directed).

[@DATo_DATonian]

I was going to say that but you beat me to it. _The Producers_ (the ORIGINAL with Zero Mostel) was Brooks' first film. It wasn't a big hit when it first came out but people weren't used to Mel Brooks films at this time and didn't know how to take it. Today it is considered one of the best comedy movies of all time.

[@snerdterguson]

The Producers isn't for everyone. But it does have what, to me, is indisputably the funniest scene Gene Wilder ever shot. Where Zero Mostel is mad at him and he starts going into hysterics. "I'm in PAIN... I'm wet... And I'm STILL hysterical!!!" At one point Gene lets out a sound. A whimper of a squeak. A sound I don't believe anyone else has ever been capable of making. And every time he makes that sound, I am absolutely floored. But even as much a I love the film, I will admit it doesn't have the non-stop laughs of Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World, etc. As a film though, it was brilliant. Such an ingenious comedic premise. And as I alluded to, the acting is fantastic, particularly from Gene.

[@niuguber]

Fun Fact: the Monster was played by the Dad in "Everyone Loves Raymond" and the Blind Man was Gene Hackman, played Lex Luthor in the Christopher Reeves Superman movies 🙂

[@Eric_L_Laney]

I absolutely loved your reaction! I was 14 years old in 1974 when this movie came out, but didn’t see it until years later. Loved the performances by all the main actors, but yes, Marty Feldman, Igor, was my favorite too. Mel Brooks is still living at the age of 97. Teri Garr, Inga, is still living at the age of 78. She has multiple sclerosis. There is a great blooper reel on KZbin that goes for 7 minutes and 1 second. There are also a couple of great documentaries on the movie on KZbin. And, Gene Wilder was on Conan in his later years. That is on KZbin as well. Great interview.

[@bwcbiz]

Both Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles went to great lengths to capture the atmosphere and tropes of their source material, hence the opening and the whole film being in black and white.

[@YogiBhoy78]

Gene Hackman as the blind man was hilarious, still sad but, too funny

[@tinfoilpapercut3547]

The gag with the horse neigh is a silly substitute for the cliche "ominous thunderclap"

[@jmartjr1]

I watched this movie when it was originally released. It’s fun to see a younger person enjoying it so much. The only thing is as a much older person I got some of the more obscure references you probably missed. When the train arrives and Frederick asks the boy “pardon me boy is this the Transylvania Station “ it’s a call back to the song Chattanooga Choo Choo by Johnny Mercer.

[@alrego3885]

Funny fact: The band members of Aerosmith, along with their producer, went to see Young Frankenstein, in theaters. They all got such a kick when Igor tells Frederick to Walk this way, that it inspired them to write one of their biggest hits.

I saw this in the theater in 1974. I was 12 years old and I loved it! As a kid, I was hooked on the classic Universal Studios monster movies from the 30’s and early 40’s so I got all of the jokes and old movie references such as the old blind hermit from “The Bride of Frankenstein” and the police inspector with the wooden arm from “The Son of Frankenstein “. Of course, POOTIN ONDA REETZ!!! almost made me wet my pants for the first time since I was a toddler. Also, the shoeshine boy at the train stations lines were a take off of the 1940’s song, “Chattanooga Choo Choo”.

FWIW: I was 13 in 1974, and I saw this in the theater as welll...👍😊

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

That's cool you got all the monster movie references as a kid, I did, too. You mentioned the, "Chattanooga Choo Choo", lines, but those you must've picked up later, or been told by an adult where they were from. 12-year olds in the '70s did not listen to Glenn Miller. lol ps~I saw it with a half dozen friends for my 9th birthday in early '75 (the film didn't premiere until December of '74). We were rolling in the aisles, as was my dad the chaperone. After that it was off to Howard Johnsons for cake, ice cream and presents! To this day it ranks as one of my favorite birthdays ever, and YF is my all-time favorite comedy!

[@33Keith33]

I didn’t listen to Glenn Miller when I was a kid but my parents did. I grew up knowing all about the big bands so I got the joke right away.

The related lyrics from that song go: Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? Yes yes track twenty-nine Boy, you can gimme a shine There's also an old joke (sort of) where people say Pardon me, boy, Is that the cat who chewed your new shoes.

[@johnhull6061]

Marty Feldman “Igor” moved his hump around without telling anyone on set. So Gene Wilder’s puzzled questions on the hump’s location was genuine.

[@Monty_BeGoodToEachOther]

Like many here, Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies, however I've never had more fun than now, watching it with you. Experiencing your realizations and reactions was absolutely wonderful and heartwarming... It is like we are re-watching the movie for the first time, and that is a precious gift. thank you.

I would also like to mention that the Laboratory set was a recreation of the original movie, using the original props.

[@MGower4465]

6:53 This same actor played the Reverend/Preacher in Blazing Saddles. Marty Feldman randomly swapped the hump from one side to the other waiting for someone to notice. So Brooks kept it in and made it another gag.

[@ernesthakey3396]

"The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" is fun; three of the actors from this movie were in it. 1975 release: Top cast: Gene Wilder as Sigerson Holmes Marty Feldman as Sgt. Orville Stanley Sacker Madeline Kahn as Jenny Hill Douglas Wilmer as Sherlock Holmes Not sure who directed etc.

[@jmini2010]

It was pure joy to see you watch one of my favorite comedies of all time. Loved it!

[@user-ts8ig7dt7r]

"Young Frankenstein" was actually Gene Wilder's idea. He came up with it during the filming of "Blazing Saddles". Gene started writing it and then just let Mel take over the scriptwriting.

[@themoviedealers]

Gene appeared in BS as a favor to Mel so that Mel would direct YF. Gene had written an entire screenplay but once Mel was attached he added a bunch of material.

[@MGower4465]

Gene did the entire first draft before hog-tying Mel to a director's chair, not during BS. That's why this movie has somewhat fewer fourth-wall breaks, and no onscreen role for Mel.

[@GKinslayer]

Gene also made Mel promise he would not appear in the movie.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

@@GKinslayer Although Brooks DOES provide the cat noises.

[@udidit71]

Most people only know Peter Boyle as the dad from everybody loves Raymond, this movie is what made me love him. And having Gene Hackman as the blind man was pure gold.

There are some of us old farts who remember him as the villain in Outland, a sci-fi remake of High Noon starring Sean Connery from the early 1980s.

One of the great details in this movie is that the lab equipment is all from the original Frankenstein movie. The set designer still had it in storage and Mel was able to get him to loan it to them for this movie.

Yes, Mel Brooks made this movie specifically for YOU… Mel crafted every scene, every line, thinking how to make YOU LAUGH !

What I love about this movie is that it’s not filled with cursing and when Gene does curse it’s just funny as hell. Start to finish this film is PERFECT. It might get “as” funny but it doesn’t get “funnier” than Young Frankenstein. It’s genius because it never gets old. It’s funny no matter how many times you watch it. Awesome reaction!

"Track twenty nine, can I give you a shine" is a song quote, from Chattanooga Choo Choo. Frederick asked the boy, "Pardon me boy, is that the Transylvania station?" The song has the lyrics, "Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo." This song was from 1940, so old even by the 70s.

Marty Feldman was a successful comedian in the UK all by himself back in the day, but today he's almost only remembered for his "Igor". Which, fair's fair, is brilliant.

[@daverice2426]

When this came out, the original Universal horror movies were rerun on TV CONSTANTLY, so it was hilarious to see somebody rip on all those clichés (a lot of this was a direct parody of Bride Of Frankenstein, like the little girl/blind hermit bits, the constable with the wooden arm is from Son Of Frankenstein, and so on). What's even better is that you're proving that it doesn't even need that context to still be one of the funniest movies ever made. Glad you're digging this stuff!

[@MrRetluocc]

Peter Boyle in the "Puttin' on the Ritz" number absolutely floors me every single time!

[@SilentSooYun]

Peter Boyle was only supposed to "monster groan" when his lines came up, but then he belted out "PUDDIN ONNA REEEZ" and the entire set had to shut down until they could compose themselves. After that, it was immediately written into the scene, expanded on, and this is what we see today

[@boosterwyk]

A few things. This was written primarily by Gene Wilder, who wanted Mel to direct. Mel contributed additional material and was given a writing credit, but is why the style is a bit different than the others you reviewed. There are also other actors Mel used in multiple movies, like Madeline Khan, but you missed the old man test subject in the beginning so was also the minister in Blazing Saddles. The exchange with the shoe shine boy is actually the first line of a famous song called Chattanooga Choo Choo Lastly, for trivia, the scene where Igor tells the doctor to 'Walk this way' was the real life inspiration for Aerosmith's song Walk this Way, who had seen the movie and found it hysterical and used that line when writing the song.

[@peterfable]

Sorry to say that the Aerosmith tale is apocryphal, as others have already pointed out.

[@davidferro2236]

Also in Marx Brothers movie

[@kimpanattoni]

"Transylvania Station?" "Ja, Ja, Track 29." is a reference to an old jazzy song named Chattanooga Choo-choo. Worth a listen. :) Jazzy little number. ^_^

[@da443-galmond4]

LOL loved your Perri-Air spelled with a D story...almost wished Mel Brooks had used it. Second, noticed this time you are not taking any chances with Blue Tooth headphones and going with wired headphone. I hope you re-watched Blazing Saddles over again with the wired headphones. Mel Brooks gags were too good to be missed. I'm wondering if you and Teri Garr are related(resemblance was striking when you cut in a shot of her at 17:06) Loved your comment about "Doorknockers" and then the momentary pause you give after Terri's reply. "Thank you Doctor." and then you catch up... and loose it. It's as much fun watching and reminded of the genius of all the actors that worked in the Mel Brooks movies. Their timing is spot on and lines are delivered impeccably. I hope that you spent the next few days with an aching face from laughing as much as I did when I watched it the first...second...third....tenth time.

[@yambo59]

Igor is played by the amazing comedy legend Marty Feldman, he could always get a laugh with those eyes and the fact he could move them independently if a part called for it -

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

A lot of his lines were improvised. He even moved the hump between takes just to see if anyone would notice. It was so funny it made it into the script.

[@Vinterfrid]

The "track 29" joke is a nod to the well-known Glenn Miller song "Chattanooga Choo Choo". Listen to it!

[@JessWLStuart]

Fun Fact! All Mel Brooks movies have a moral theme to them. The moral of Spaceballs is: "Don't take Star Wars too seriously, and realize it's about the money." I think the moral behind Young Frankenstein is: "Embrace being yourself!" OMG! Derri-Air is such a better joke than Perri-Air! Thanks for sharing that!
