No Blazing Saddles?

"Blazing Saddles" probably omitted out of political correctness but I would put it right up there. I still crack up every time when Sheriff Bart goes "Where the white women at?" In fact, that was a catchphrase my Marine Corps buddies used whenever we walked into the E Club at Camp Pendleton (the black Marines with us laughed just as hard).

Glad to see "Dumb and Dumber" didn't make the grade. While I can appreciate dumb slapstick and let my brain take a vacation for 90 minutes or so, that movie was not funny at all - just dumb.

I also appreciate the subtle humor of the MST3K crew as they riff through really bad movies. That show is a guilty pleasure of mine.

For me the funniest part of Blazing Saddles is at the end when the fight spills into the other production sets. I die laughing at the craziness of Mel Brooks thinking up that idea.

First half of Blazing Saddles induces many laughs per minute. The second half is meh, especially the big production finish, which is a bit tedious, IMO.

Our beloved “Blazing Saddles” is far too cerebral to fit the laughs so closely.
