Perhaps you can commission the people that make the velvet Elvis and the velvet Jesus and the velvet dogs playing the cards to make 1 for you! I would buy 1 as well that would be awesome! I guess you can do a screenshot and hopefully it would be of good enough quality and you can find A Service that does large print outs I am going to investigate that now. That would be awesome !!!!
this too: Mel Brooks in "The History of the World"..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w556vrpsy4w.html there were more than Ten Commandments in the actual Bible too
Apparently Mel Brooks once said about God and comedy: “Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast-beaters. By the time I was five I knew I was that one.”
@@ericnichols9275 Well I don't know. He is involved in the miniseries 'History of the World Part 2'. Also, apparently he's said in response to the 'those movies couldn't be made today' claims with "well we couldn't really make them back then, but we made them anyway", plus apparently when his first movie 'The Producers' came out in the 60s a woman saw him in an elevator she said to him "I saw your film Mr Brooks and it was vulgar", to which he replied "Lady, it was below vulgar". Most people who react to his movies on RU-vid today love his movies and laugh at loud at them all the time. Remember it was as recently as the 60s that comedians like Lenny Bruce were getting arrested and banned from performing at venues and cities because of their political and social critique style of satire and comedy. Stuff like that alongside segregation laws and the fact that you could be arrested for being gay - well, in light of that I don't really think we can say 'everything is so politically correct today we can't make movies anymore'. What some people call 'Political Correctness' other people call 'being considerate and thinking about what you say before saying it'. This however does not apply to Mel Brooks because his style is full on satire, and his aim is to make Nazis, fascists and racists look so stupid and so ridiculous that they'll never get into power again because no one will ever take them seriously again. And he achieves this by making fun of everyone and everything including his own people. And from what I can tell, the public still knows that, and still loves his films because of their satire and because they're so ridiculous and because they get to laugh at everything and everyone, even ver serious issues because he's revealing how stupid racism is.
@@starleyshelton2245 In the hippy version, Jesus Christ Superstar, they eat outside on a blanket and Judas is Black. Maybe, that's why historically they have had a hard time, it's punishment for betraying Jesus?
@@JENDALL714 Makes no sense. No one has stated Judas was anything other than Jewish. And a rock opera of about 1970 would be irrelevant to any prejudice. They is no historical basis or prejudice that links black to the betrayal or death.
*I watched this movie a Brazilian times when I was a kid in the 80's..., and even just this scene by itself still has me literally laughing out loud... Brooks was always an utter genius...*
@@kurtkensson2059 the display at the Olympics wasn't The Last Supper. Also, no, Brooks' humour (although the best in the world) has never been thought of as tasteful, and the malice is that he absolutely is showing how ridiculous the things he's making fun of are. Did you think The Producers was a little love letter to Hitler?
@@JamesMMcCann It was immediately obvious what that display at the Olympics was based on, to anyone with a knowledge of the subject. Denying it is an exercise in futility. I don't share your opinion of Mel Brooks' humor, either. One of his talents has been to use controversial subjects in his comedies, without falling into a trap of offending those who are being made sport of. He could take "nazis" (and symbols of theirs) and use them humorously (I still know many of the words to "Springtime for Hitler" thanks to the Dr. Demento show) without people raging about seeing swastikas. (See also; Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" or Jack Benny's "To Be, or Not to Be.") He could take the white robes of the kkk, and use them to make people laugh, as he did in "Blazing Saddles." (The 😊 on the back of them was inspired.) He could even poke fun at Indians (or "Indigenous Persons" if you prefer) and Blacks ("Persons of Color") without creating an uproar, and make people laugh unashamedly at the use of the "N word." In short, Brooks was able to use humor to broach subjects that nearly anyone else would find offensive, or at least controversial. It wasn't "malice" that made his successes possible. If audiences had perceived it that way, he never would have been able to continue creating some of the funniest films in cinema history. The surest sign that "progressivism" is a misnomer is that many of his masterpieces could no longer be made and released in today's hyper-sensitive world, and that is a shame, not a sign of our "progress."

I'm here because of all the Pearl clutching over sone depiction of the Last Supper they did at the Olympics that everyone is clutching their pearls about. This is how it went down. Just as Mel Brooks, time traveler and waiter depicted it. 😂
Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE is Our REAL Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I know this movie word for word & I still crack up watching it.. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.. Uncle Mel is the best, the man is a genius
I'm Catholic (haven't been to church in years. ) And find this hilarious. So sad that a Mel Brooks sense of humor would never work today. I miss the days/ times where we could laugh @ something funny without insulting or hurting someone's feelings !!
@@Tourist1967 Well, I am. People give "them" too much much power. Ignore "them" and do your own thing. "They" will go away. "They" are not really there, after all. They are a shadow of fear.
That's an insulting comparison. Remove the wit and social commentary from MP and you've got MB. Not all MP works. But at least there's intelligence and imagination behind their scenes.
This scene and the one of Moses parting the sea because he's being held up are two of the best ... And the pissboy, count the money, good to be the king ... Spanish inquisition... Hell this whole movie is great.
This is one of my favorite scenes in "The History of the World" movie. So much going on here....."Separate checks?"; Leonardo comes in to do a group painting of everyone which looks strangely familiar(except for Brooks being in the image); "This may be our Last Supper"; Mel saying "Jesus, Jesus"; I'm just Dying here.
two things I love about this scene: 1. John Hurt cameo as Jesus (one of two in a Mel brooks movie) 2. Leonardo Davinci appearing a full 1500 years earlier than he was alive to paint the portrait LOL.
I talked to the guy who did. He said J.C. was a great tipper, but SOMEBODY snagged the tip off the table on the way out. Who could it have been..... JUDAS! Did you enjoy the mulled wine?
@@JaneDoe-ci3gj It is common for waitstaff to ask a group of diners if they want separate checks or if one person is covering it all...or one check then everyone figures their share from that.
@@DidierDubz very funny. First of all, the lunar cycle is not 30 days. I hoped I wouldn't have to say this, but Judas was paid 30 pieces of silver to betray Christ. Have you ever read the New Testament?
@@charleshealy341 and because you don't see the symbolism, you won't understand... A disciple is a physical representation of a MONTH. 12 disciples... How many months in a year??? So if a disciple ( a month or STAR SIGN ) is given " 30 PIECES OF SILVER " that represents the 30 days in a month OR STAR SIGN. Come on uncle Charlie, you can do better than that. And yes you are right I have NEVER read the new testament, but I understand it better than you. 😏
@@DidierDubz OK, dangerous stranger, I'm so scared! In addition, I understand symbolism quite well. You seem to obsess on the number 12, and why is that? I would also point out that there are 12 signs of the zodiac. The signs of the zodiac are composed of STARS. Who gives a shit? The Mormon Church tells me it if I live their life, I will be the god of my own star someday. A foot is composed of 12 inches. A gross, is 12 dozen. If a person had two extra fingers, that would be 12 digits. 12 is double six, but only half of 24. I'm sorry for confusing you in this manner, but God spoke to me just in the past 5 minutes, and told me that I was to cease all communication with you. Because by your own admission, you have never read the New Testament. And are therefore cursed to burn in hell for all of eternity. And my God will no longer allow me to deal with those who are not saved. So I really suggest you go back to your Bible, and read it. And follow the instructions. "GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!"
@@charleshealy341 😂 there we go, I knew you had some fight in you. Yes the zodiac refers to the stars, because even this earth will eventually become a star. When we die, we become galaxies. But that's a story for another day, clearly you've got your religious blinkers on. Remember the ones that asked him, Lord did we not exorcise demons in your name?? You don't know him, and he won't know you. Good luck. 👍😂👋
I have christian beliefs and find this clip very funny. It's one of my all time favorite movies. I love when mel brooks about gives Judas a heart attack. Simply priceless. And I also love how he tries to push the malt wine one them.
I'm Catholic myself. I laughed at it at the time and I'm certain that Jesus would have laughed as well. The problem is, that this was a small step in the direction we find ourselves today. Where we Christians are being ridiculed an vilified. That is not acceptable.
@@nosaltadded2530 I hope you can tell the difference between mild humor and vilification. Normal person would not indulge into the latter. As for the first steps, the tradition of making fun of pompous and obese priests is as old as the Church itself.
It took a minute for the sequel, considering it could have been done much sooner, like 1-3 decades ago & yet Part II may have not existed if Mel had already passed. Yet here we are now, Mel is nearing 100 & produced Part II as multiple TV episodes instead of as a singular movie, which could make the sequel more enjoyable because it will be multiple times longer than the original movie, thus more content/history played out. Some good familiar names in the Part II cast, much like in Part I.

Jesus. What? Jesus. What? That cracked me up along with the waiter asking if they want separate checks! Brooks the God of Comedy.
Mel Brooks takes serious topics and turns them funny BUT he doesn't cross the line where it becomes downright offensive (some of today's comedy can be like that at times). That's what I love about him. :)
@@janelliot5643 YES HE DOES. This is NOT funny except to the empty, the flippant, atheists, and a Jewish man named Mel Brooks. Jesus, His family, and for the most part, God, are not appropriate topics for laughs.
Mel Brooks is the funniest movie maker of all time. Swiping at every social and popular idea that you can name. That’s what funny is! That’s what movies should be. Entertaining!
In his autobiography, Brooks claims he keeps a frame of that last shot in his guest bedroom. His Catholic in laws stayed in there once and apparently told him it was beautiful, not realizing Mel was in the shot too and all.
