I’m afraid he can’t live forever, because no one can. And seems to his age, it may almost be time to put Mr. Brooks out to pasture.

@@helaina400Try saying to your phone, "Did Mel Brooks serve in the army in WWII". Turns out he WAS a combat engineer in the Battle of the Bulge. Not knowing is one thing, but willful ignorance is something else altogether. Maybe research prior to commenting next time?

He was ALWAYS ahead of his time and never let the biases and prejudices of others taint his love of comedy. This comedic genius of a man gave Dave Chappelle his big break in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" in 1993.

The brilliance of Blazing Saddles, that many people miss, is that the townspeople were angry when Sheriff Bart showed up, but at the end of the film nobody called him names and all of the townspeople begged him to stay. They were sad to see him leave.
