I'm so glad i got to live in the Mel Brooks era

Omg, I love your thumbnail!! Who is that adorable pup?

@@superfreakmorris4251 I love that mix! What a sweetie! I have an aussie/hypochondriac mix, that had been on the street...she is like owning a fur covered mood ring, if you feel the least bit tired, or bored, down, whatever, she is on you, trying to make it better! She loves people and cats. We adopted a cat too, to give her something to take care of. We might have to get a herd of cats, or goats or something.

For such a happy man, what a tragic life. At least he could find happiness, where most can't.

[@gailfeulner1867]

I'm not seeing a tragic life here - just a beautiful life with his pretty wife and wonderful family & friends.

[@dennischallinor8497]

Mel Kaminsky has depths of character I don't think most people can appreciate. I've admired this man since he worked with uncle Milty. I'm 74 and full of cancer and if I was told I could meet anyone in the world I wanted to it would be Mel Brooks. I'll bet Ann Bancroft was in stitches every day of her married life! Stay safe Mel.

[@christineparis5607]

I'm 60, and my earliest memory of tv is watching his show (maybe reruns) with my older sister. She adored "Uncle Milty"!! Back then, as you know, it was black and white and we only had 3 channels! I remember "Get Smart" and some very badly cut up westerns. I was basically raised on westerns. No wonder I moved to Texas as soon as I grew up. It was all I knew anything about!

[@dmiller1000]

Mel worked for Sid Caesar. Not sure he ever did anything with Milton Berle. Your memory is fuzzy.

[@dennischallinor8497]

@@dmiller1000 I think his first comedy writing job was with "The Show Of Shows" which I think debuted in Calgary in about 1954 on CBC. That was a long time ago. My memory has a right to be 'fuzzy', it's 76!

[@dmiller1000]

@@dennischallinor8497 Absolutely. I salute you.

[@80wolfmanrob]

Honestly I was thought when Carl died Mel would follow him quick. So glad he's made it this far still waiting for "Spaceballs 2 The Search for Money".

[@MM-yi9zn]

There will never ever be another Mel Brooks. A rare talent that will endure as a massive legend!

[@lindacoolbaugh962]

I LOVE High Anxiety!! Mel Brooks was, is and will always be a genius!!

[@antiquemikemike5697]

I feel you lol

[@globalheartwarming]

I still sing "HighAng... ziety" to get through certain moments. (Rare, of course.)

[@thomasmargolis3313]

Given the things that he experienced into his life, calling it tragic? The way he adapted the early circumstances of his to what he became, its good to be the king.

[@magicalpasta5462]

As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, Mel Brooks will always be my hero

[@NellieKAdaba]

Me too.

[@robertdragoff6909]

I watched an interview from the Carson show recorded MANY years ago around the time Blazing Saddles came out. He was funny then and he's still funny! He and Mr. Rhiener Were brilliant together in the 2000 year old man. I liked the part of the bit where the 2000 year old man said that hutting your thumb with a hammer was a bigger tragedy than getting killed!

[@michaelmclaughlin3152]

He lives, no tragedy. Comedy is tragedy plus time. "Missed it by, that much".

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

Disarm with humor, kill with kindness.

[@nolanhewitt2563]

May the Schwartz be with you

[@lapdogg]

And also with you.

[@kimbrey65]

I love "High Anxiety "!

[@lindacoolbaugh962]

Me too!!

[@batgurrl]

Young Frankenstein is the pinnacle of parody films and his best. His stint in the Producers season of Curb Your Enthusiasts was pure genius.

[@normanbell-br7nf]

Anyone know Mel personally please thank him for the joy he has brought and his life force -- he'll never ever be old in my eyes

[@ilfarmboy]

during WW2 his main job was in bomb& mine disposal (the man has balls)

[@superfreakmorris4251]

My favorite move wad Blazing Saddles. The best!!!

[@fuzzyparker7045]

Excellent entertainer,much love to you mr. Kaminski🥰❤

[@markadams8041]

So the best interview that I have seen of Mel Brooks was on Jiminy Glick. Jiminy made Mel Brooks take a break because he was laughing so hard. Jiminy cracked Mel Brooks up so hard that Mel Brooks had to call time out.

[@jamesheath7601]

I love Mel Brooks 😊

The happiest and funniest people in life are often the ones suffering the most inside.

My guy is still alive ti'll this day

[@katarinakrnjevic8183]

Mel is definitely living legend. Many are tryed to copy his type of movies but failed.

[@christineparis5607]

I used to listen to comedy albums by the hour as a kid! Bob Newhart, Jonathon Winters, George Carlin, etc. I LOVED THEM, and grew up very with very ironic view of the world. My comments that are almost always based on the black, self deprecating humor of human nature, is always mistaken for something else. It's just because of the hilarious black view of the world I learned from so many incredibly talented Jewish comedians and others who followed in their footsteps...

[@lynneborrie-belcher895]

My husband did the same thing as a kid, falling asleep to George Carlin, Redd Fox, Steve Martin, Cosby, Richard Pryor, all the greats. Oi vey, may you two never meet! :-)

[@emmaw7853]

dracula: dead and loving it & robin hood: men in tights will always always be my favourite mel brooks movies.

[@lijo4518]

Great vid...thank u 💗

[@constipatedinsincity4424]

:20 I have that picture autographed by him

[@lauralutz4538]

I don’t think that, Mel Brooks would ever saddle himself with the word tragic but anything for a tease.

[@davidz2808]

It's expected than a nonagenarian will have outlived the large majority of people in their life.

[@abyss9316]

Two words blazing saddles and Spaceballs

That's 4 words if you don't count "two words". Lol

Wait did you just say that seeking therapy for his anxiety attacks helped him "calm down and grow up"? I'm sorry, but that's very insulting.

[@gwolfstahl]

I don't think it's a slam at people with anxiety...he was stating what worked for him...
