Don’t send a horse to find quicksand, you know the price of horses these days, send a nigger.
I watched it in a theater of Blacks in Seattle and every time nigger was said they howled.

Ditto for the movie "Airplane"; one of the funniest comedy movies still, IMHO. Can you imagine the howls of protest from the PC crowd over the scene, "
Oh stewardess, I speak jive."

No surprise. I showed it (
Blazing Saddles) to some barely twenty-somethings over a decade ago and they were
horrified.
Okay. I didn't 'get' the Rocky Horror Picture Show, either.
That was how much things had changed then, and it is more so now. Indoctrination....

Funny movie and I agree it couldn’t be made today. Al Sharpton would make a career out of it.

I work for TxDOT and every month we get a free "Texas Highways" around payday. My buddy and I greet the guy who passes them out with "Pass these out to the boys in lieu of pay".
The only movie funnier than BS is Young Frankenstein.
Brooks is a genius!

Today’s comedies are considered classics if the characters utter profanities every two minutes. These days, cuss words are considered great comedy.

Thanks. Frankie Layne. Also, cameo by Count Basie.

Yiddish Indians = a Mormon joke.A Chippewa friend said "Well, why can't we play Jews in the movies, already? Oy Vey! They have Jews playing Indians!"

The greatest thing about this movie is that it showed something we do not have today, the ability to laugh at ourselves. That was the genius of what Brooks did. Now everyone should be required to see it again and then reflect on all those “offended” groups who will swear that social relations are so much better off today than it was then because of their activist cheerleaders. The reality is that it is far worse than it has ever been and maybe seeing this movie again will start to reflect that to some “offended” crybaby.

The only movie funnier than BS is Young Frankenstein. I also consider High Anxiety one of his best as well, not as slapstick as many of his other movies, although it helps if, like me, one is a huge Alfred Hitchcock fan.
To: SMGFan
The most offensive thing about it is the plot. A bunch of ordinary citizens want to establish a town in the west and live their lives in peace, but the corrupt government wants the land for a railroad so they can profit from the land. So they devise plots to steal the land from private citizens, and Sheriff Bart foils them.
If this movie were made today, it would be that the evil white landowners want to selfishly exploit the land, while the good government wants to use eminent domain to build a bullet train for the people.

Agreed.
Probably the funniest scene in all of moviedom is the “Puttin on the Ritz” routine.

Usually they have Italians playing Amerindians. We call them the Wopahoe tribe. ;)

Mel Brooks is quite correct.
It’s still funnier than h*ll decades later.
