not Mel’s funniest...close though.

that award(for me) goes to Young Frankenstein...a perfect comedy...constant jokes....not a fart in a carload.

the problem I had with Blazing Saddles, was how stupid and inbred the white people were. The racism in Blazing Saddles was just that.

still cracks me up though.

Yes, the town’s populace was all surnamed “Johnson” and related. Make of it what you will, but it has become a masterpiece of political incorrectness.

One my favorite scenes was the old lady being mugged. And don’t forget the scene with the Cowboy’s eating beans.

Yes it was nasty, gross, sexually explicit, racist, or all the above, but most of all it was funny.

On of the comments suggested that remake couldn’t be made today, with the roles reversed: In Detroit, with a white sheriff, and Al Sharpton as Hedley Lamarr.
