The Producers - Keep It Gay (part 1)

From the 2005 version of the musical comedy "The Producers"

yes, we all watched it and heard it. Why remind us again in words? Even the deaf have Subtitles!

[@marshhen]

The comic timing of these actors and this script make this scene a master class. I love camp when its done this way. Brilliant.

[@manuelorozco7760]

This was the first time I ever liked campy

[@swordsmanthegamernine7973]

Camp is under appreciated in my opinion, though I should say sadly it’s mostly used in a derogatory sense, but when it’s used like this it can be fantastically fun~!

[@kenndo9906]

Are we watching the same thing.... Its okay but

[@iammontecristo]

The "yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss" sounds like steam excaping.

In the original musical, Max said it was just a joke. Personally I think the rally story was a little more plausible.

The funniest send up of gay stereotypes ever created. Mel Brooks is a genius.

[@johnmcglothin7581]

And it's not insulting, it's actually engaging and amusing

[@kenndo9906]

The original was better....just my opinion

[@killustrator]

Mel Brooks didn't direct this

[@jacobskinner3522]

@@killustratorand? He wrote it. The satire is in the writing.

[@MichaelLofranco]

@netcurtains The 2005 version of "The Producers" is not a remake. It's a live action adaptation of a musical that's based on the 1967 movie.

[@MikeSparrow]

Roger Bart is just so sublime in this role!

[@marshhen]

This scene makes me laugh out loud repeatedly each time I watch it. The comic timing and extreme exaggeration of true things is flawless. These actors are really on-point.

[@teamwipe804]

marshhen goes to Mel’s writing considering this is his musical. Still this is great

[@TheJTMcDaniel]

Well, they'd all done the scene several hundred times before they did the movie, so...

[@dragoonguard7278]

there is a shit tone of bloopers from tis movie......and the same goes for eny other movie

[@dennykay]

"Shut up, he thinks he's witty!"

[@catherinedean3796]

For some reason the tonal switch when he says "but I think I look more like the CHRYSLER BUILDING" always gets me no matter how many times I've seen this movie

[@TakaComics]

I love some of the changes in this version. The original had Max saying “That dress is you!” but here he says “That building is you!” I think the musical version really tightened up the dialogue, although some changes weren’t as good (like the actor being absolutely terrible, making it comedic, instead of the person playing it straight having to be replaced at the last minute).

[@katiela7021]

The lesbian lighting designer stereotype is hilarious. 🤣 I personally felt called out because of how on the money it was. There are a lot of us who are exactly like this.

[@norbonius]

Right? I should be offended, but as the girl in high school theatre who did lighting and building/breaking down the set… it’s incredibly on point.

[@beawild]

Gary Beach was so talented. He's missed. RIP.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I would have liked to see him as Edna in Hairspray.

[@PeterFairhurst-v3e]

One of my all time favourite movie scenes. Wonderful acting, timing and editing. Lucky enough to get tickets for the London production with Nathan and Lee Evans.

[@April235E]

I bet this has a terrific blooper reel

[@beek.4860]

It does and it's on KZbin! The bloopers are nearly as funny as the movie itself and that's saying something.

I've never seen either version of "The Producers", and only know a little about the basic plot, including "The Dancing Hitlers". I didn't realize this was the remake until I saw Matthew Broderick and knew it couldn't be the original, made in 1967. The acting here is hilarious! :D I have to wonder if this scene was added to the remake (only), because of the content, but "Cabaret" (1972) was just as direct with similar subject matter, and this scene still looks and feels like it's in the 1960s, though filmed in 2005.
