I hate to say this but, if you don’t like Mel Brooks movies then you need to get to a doctor and have him check your sense of humor. I believe there are treatments out there now to inject one into people with humor deficiencies.
I LOVE Mel Brooks, not as much as my kid does, but for longer. I even like some of the sillier ones, like Robin Hood - Men in Tights. Spaceballs is a family fave. Silent Movie is brilliant and such a wonderful valentine to his wife. But History of the World, blech!
In the spirit of full disclosure let me admit that the first time I saw “Young Frankenstein” it eluded me completely. Then my movie-loving friend confessed she felt the same way and said: Jocon, I think we’re wrong, let’s go see it again.
Needless to say we were laughing our heads off! Ever after that film has just gotten funnier everytime I’ve seen it.
And of course, blazing saddles, at that movie another friend of mine and I were pretty much literally rolling in the aisles. Of course that was back in the bad old days and we were a wee bit under the influence, but I’ve never laughed so hard at a movie in my life!
