What's your point?

I don't believe Mel Brooks compares anything but favorably with the likes of Woody Allen, Streisand, etc. that Rabbi Lapin writes about.

Mel Brooks (and Carl Reiner, dad of Meathead) was the one of the writers of one of the few sitcoms I really cherish, "The Dick Van Dyck" show. One episode had "Buddy" going through a latelife barmitzvah because he'd been too poor as a kid to have one. Very sweet --

You've got your putzes, and you've got your menches. Brooks is not a putz.
