Happy 35th, Blazing Saddles

Gentlemen, please. Rest your sphincters.

 

Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me ... Jim.

 

Not only are we depriving our children of a financial future we are also leaving them a society without humor.

Because of political correctness Mel Brooks would have never been able to make this movie in today's world and that is a dam shame.

 

Yes, because Seth Rogin and all of them are too constricted by The Man to make gross-out comedies.
And Robert Downey, Jr. had a great idea for Tropic Thunder but The Man kept him down.
Jeebus, Boom.

 

Boom 70...isn't that the absolute truth? no way this movie would have been made today.
thank the good Lord for it coming along when it did.
imagine that line that went, "the sheriff is a N......"
do I hear the ACLU calling?



or a law firm named JohnsonandJohnsonandJohnsonandJohnson.....

 

Andrew Bergman, who wrote the screenplay, is a distant relative of mine. Just figured I'd throw that out there for no reason whatsoever.

 

Hey look how exercised some folks got about the NY Post cartoon last week .

 

What in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin on around here?

 

Boom: Good day, madam; and isn't it a lovely day?
Me: Up yours, Boom!

"You're sucking on my arm!"

 

Taggart: The surveyors say they may have run into some quicksand up ahead. Better check it out.
Lyle: Okay, I'll send down a team of horses to check out the ground.
Taggart: Horses? We can't afford to lose any horses, you dummy! Send over a couple of African Americans

 

That alky can't even hold a gun!
