Mel Brooks is a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. When asked about it, Brooks said, “It was very noisy. I could hardly get any reading done.”

And: “I was a Combat Engineer. Isn’t that ridiculous? The two things I hate most in the world are combat and engineering.”

Gotta love Mel.

Out of that long list, the only two names I know are Danny DeVito and Seth Rogan. I only know of Rogan because of that movie he did mocking N. Korea. I never actually saw him in anything.

Unfortunately, almost everyone he’s associated with is part of that new, degenerate, woke (and most of all
UNFUNNY) group of hacks like that slimy schmendrick nick kroll, Wanda Sykes, And stoned sh-t for brain semites Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman. And it LOOKS like it was shot on a shoestring budget for Comedy Central’s 2AM Saturday schedule.

History of the World Part I was, at least, tied for the worst movie ever made. My wife and I walked out after about an hour and demanded our money back.

On the way out, walking up the aisle of the theater, I asked patrons on both sides of the aisle, “You aren’t really planning to watch the rest of this drivel, are you?”

There wasn’t any pushback in the theater. Not a soul asked me to stop interrupting the fare on the screen. It was that bad.

Emily Ratajkowski is known for being smoking hot and nude in Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines music video.

Can’t wait!

Kudos to Brooks for being alive at his age, let alone doing something so ambitious. Good for him!

David Duchovny: “Fox Mulder” on the “X-Files”, and a couple other things.

Just one of a couple others I know about.

Johnny Knoxville WAS “Jackass”, whatever opinion you might have of that. Also did a pretty good turn in “Men in Black II”.

Sarah Silverman was in the “Wreck-It Ralph” movies.

Most of these are stand-up comedians. Same goes for the cast of “History of the World Part I”; most of them hadn’t been in films either ... other than other Mel Brooks productions.
