Sorry, but I never “got” Mel Brooks. I just looked up his entire oeuvres, can’t find anything I saw and loved.
For lowbrow jokes and gags strung together, I’ll take Airplane and Naked Gun.

I understand Buttons. I guess alot of us, well I should say I love inane silliness with no rhyme or reason and Mel Brooks fills that for me. I loved the Airplane movies too but the Naked Gun as funny as it was seemed over the top to me the high priestess of silly. Too many sight gags or something.......guess I’m nuts........lol

He also made some very serious movies, like THE ELEPHANT MAN, which are extremely good.

And his "funny" movies, except for MEN IN TIGHTS, are fantastic!
