Top 10 scenes from Blazing Saddles 

You're not wrong.

We've all heard of laughing until your sides are splitting? That was how I felt while this was playing on screen. I've never laughed so hard at a movie, before or after, when I watched this one.

So true

Agreed

Question " what's the best part of Blazing Saddles? " Answer " Yes "

That line wasnt in the script. That is why Cleavon Little's response is so pure. But that was not unusual for Mel Brooks to sometimes leave certain lines in even if they werent in the script.

That's because, apparently, according to some sources, Gene Wilder ad-libbed that line--so Little wasn't expecting it. That's why the laugh is so genuine.

Moron wasn't even scripted.

That line was adlibbed, so Cleavon's laugh was a real one...

and to think they were gonna have Richard Pryor play that part...hmmm....

Blazing Saddles could never be done today! I agree with you 100%

I love his movies

Mel Brooks even said he couldn’t believe it could be made back then

Thank Richard Pryor for it also. He co-wrote the script.

No he was 100% in the right spot on the timeline.

There were just so many scene I might do the ABC's

@@seaninlondon4424 Glad you enjoyed it!

William J. LaPetamine Throughway

The genius of that bit was the outlaws were so stupid that NOT ONE OF THEM was bright enough to realize that you could just go right around the tollbooth. I mean, there was nobody working at the damn thing...

@@JimAllen-Personawhat’ll that asshole think of next!?

@@ernestcruz6316 My wife is like that . I mean with her you have to do everything by the rules

My thoughts exactly. It is very annoying.

Probably a copyright issue.. I've seen clips of TV shows that are sped up to somehow get around copyright issues.

Whose. But totally agree.

Yup. Annoying and inappropriate.

Right ??!!!!!! 😡

I agree 100%

Not really. And of Mel Brooks other films, this probably ranks third after Young Frankenstein and The Producers.

"was"? He still IS and he is 96 years old.

@@davemathews7890 OH NO!! BS (uh .... Blazing Saddles, not BS like you might think, LOL) was the signature film of Mel Brooks' career. The other two were excellent, but BS is known WORLDWIDE as a contender for the funniest comedy ever. I am a HUGE Mel Brooks fan and always went to his movies whenever they came out. This is the one that others talked about where people came out of the theatre, walked around to the end of the line at the box office to get in line to see it again. I saw YF and the Producers and laughed, but, when they were over, I went home. I did go and see The Producers when it came to the "cheap", one dollar theatre after leaving the "big" theatre. Nothing like Blazing Saddles. This was before the "multi-plex" theatres of today so it was only on one screen in the medium sized city I lived in. I know it ran for several weeks before finally leaving.

@@marmac2768 I've always found BS wildly uneven, with long stretches of exposition and little comedy. And I love Madejine Kahn, but thought she was wasted in this movie. But I'll admit that it has some great belly laughs, as when Mongo sucker punches the horse. Everyone has a different idea of funny, so I respect your opinion.I personally have seen "The Producers" over a dozen times and always fall down laughing when Ulla starts go-go dancing when Max tells her to go to work. The remake of The Producers was pretty awful despite having Nathan Lane in it.

Rabbit!

The Sheriff he’s a Ni(Dong, Dong, Dong) What did he say? He said the Sheriff is nearer. No dadblast it, I said the Sheriff is a Ni( Dong, Dong, Dong)

Rabllsish

There was so many doing a Top 10 was very hard!

@@ChattingwithMarkStise I’m NOT complaining at all! I appreciate that you even made this video!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

lol yeah that was a good one

My favorite too. This is still the funniest movie ever made. To think the studio suits wanted to cut all the best parts out of this movie. Mel Brooks just ignored them all.

Of course you’ll have the decency not to mention we spoke

:)

LOL!!! I remember!

Or when the have Mongo ties to the jail bars and Wacko kid says Mongo fancies Sheriff Bart and Mongo says No Mongo straight

Just to let you know I also included her in another Top 10 for Clue!

"Oh...it's twuu..it's TWUU..!!

The that is matched iby the line they cut out where after the dark scene where she goes it's truwwwe it's truwweee Cleavon Little goes "I hate to disappoint you, ma'am, but you're sucking my arm."

Yes, she was. Loved everything she did.

A wed wose...how womantic

Yup, April in Paris.

Brooks had to make a lot of compromises to get it made in 1974.

Do what he say, do what he say! 🤣

yah that one should be on this list

When they meet in the middle of the night to rescue the town. "We'll take the ....... and the ....., but we don't want the Irish". As someone of Irish descent, I understand wholeheartedly.

You can also thank Richard Pryor for it too!

@@Legba85 he wrote the screenplay, right? The man was a genius. Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip talking about fire being inspirational. Then lighting a match and calling out everyone who cracked jokes about him was hilarious

I may have watched it 100 times, and I agree with what Olsen Johnson said....

I know right!

I’ve got the dvd ha!!!!!! Going to watch it now.

There were so many wonderful one liners I was hard to limit it down to jsut 10

Where's my froggy!?.....Taggert! Oh, sorry sir. 🤣

He didn't want to say a certain word, but was convinced to take the part and say it, almost to lessen the sting of the word. He was old school, and you had to be convinced to be impolite.

The awful music is the point!

Nartin There are so many great scene, its just impossible to put them into a Top 10! Thank for commenting.

You're right about Cleavon, being under appreciated. Richard Pryor was supposed to play Sherrif Bart, he would've been great of course, but I'm not sure if the film could've been much better.

Decades and countless viewings later, this still cracks me up, tears, stomach ache, the whole nine yards.

Proves the old adage….. Nothing beats a good fart gag😀

I took a young lady on a first date to THIS MOVIE. I was horrified ( while laughing) at the campfire scene.

So, did she stay with you? 😅

Recording Foley for that scene must have been a real treat…

Wow that is incredible!

I agree this movie could never be made these days!

@ChattingwithMarkStise i fucking hate that sentiment, its so lazy. this movie could EASILY be made today, but guess why its not. no, not because "you cant say that kinda stuff anymore" or "everyone's a pc snowflake". If this movie had never been made, and came out today, people would call it the biggest pile of shit they've ever watched. ive literally never seen a "comedy movie" so unfunny in my entire life. "hur hur hur n-word funny-😀" its not about being anti pc, its about the fact that every joke soley relies on either a cheap physical gag or haha look how edgy i am, i dont give a fuck 😎. get a grip

The 70s didn’t allow political correctness. Dirty Harry? It’s gold

Absolutely!!

Tied with Animal House, IMHO.🤣🤣🤣👍👍

We all saw the movie. You don't need to reenact the entire film.

I had the chance to visit the local morgue and happened to see a man with a very large member. I had a hard time not busting out laughing thinking of this scene and yelling "It's twoo, it's really twoo."

Awesome!!!

You Know Morons I did not know that, I should have figured the way Bart reacted! LOL. There were so many good lines It was hard to make a top 10! Thanks for your comment.

@@ChattingwithMarkStise I have been a Mel Brooks fan for decades. I do not like the present crop of comedy, it leaves me flat.. But I have seen interviews with Mel where he encourages the actors to come up with their own creative license. If something looks good, it doesnt always go onto the cutting room floor or into a bloopers reel.

That line was brilliant and Cleavon Little's reaction was priceless - you couldn't act that laugh - it was real

How about we will take the N. AND CHINESE BUT NOT THE IRISH. being Irish I think that line is funny as hell. When you can laugh it takes all the power of insults away and makes the person throwing it look stupid like they really are. It's like someone calling you a moron just come back with AND THERE YOU HAVE IT they have no idea what just happened 😳😁😁

In this house we always do this whenever Randolph Scott's name is mentioned.

There were so many scenes it was hard to just find 10!

In the late 1800s there was a school of thought that believed that Native Americans were direct descendants of the lost tribe of Israel. It's likely that bit was based on that theory.

I agree once my Patreon fan gave me the idea I had to go with it!

Well, Life Stinks is actually pretty skippable...

That played off the belief of some people of that time that the natives were descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Beg to differ. I was offended by "but we don't want the Irish." The rest of the movie is fine.

Meting is ajouried

It is?

"We must do something to protect our Phoney Baloney jobs gentleman... We must act... We must act...

Just think of your secretary

The background music is used to not get flagged by the YT police 🚨. 😶‍🌫️

​@@edsonroadmoto Yeah, but they could have chosen something less... morose

There were sooooo many good one liners It was hard to make a top 10

@@ChattingwithMarkStise "Where the white women at?" will also make me laugh. if you watch it enough time you start to notice jokes you might have missed

Worst of outlaws still had the discipline not to go around the toll gate!! 😂

Yes he was! OMG I can't believe I did forget that one!!!!

Oh yeah, the froggie.

Why you use your tongue prettier than a 20 dollar whore. Shitkicker , ha 🤣 brilliant

Ditto !

Go do that voodoo that you do so well!🤣🤣

So was foundling that statue

They were good ones to be sure!

That's when go into town a whopping and a wooping everything within an inch of its life

That is would be good to put it in the video

@@ChattingwithMarkStise Well, it wasn't. Sorry.

If your sole concentration is focused on and complaining about the music, YOU ruined the whole point of watching this.

Music is a non issue.

The music was a little strange for comedy but nice top 10 all in all

I'm tired!

What would your Top 10 be?

@@ChattingwithMarkStise Okay: The following are my "Top Nine" favorites, not in any particular order. Number "10" will be handled separate. . For sheer comical value (6 scenes): Quicksand! Taggart orders a couple of ni- instead of horses to survey & gets what he deserves with shovel to the head. Indians: "Laaaasss Hiiiimmmm Gehhhhn!" Dey Darker Dan Us! It's True... It's TRUE !!! Lili Von Shtupp receives her ultimate desire. The Campfire Beans and Farts. Toll Plaza & Dimes (and my favorite of the slapsticks:) Gabby Johnson on rooftop announcing "The Sheriff is a Ni-..." but the church bell overlays his shouting. . The next three are my favorite because I'd like to think I've matured over the past few decades and appreciate the movie more than just face value. I first saw BlazSaddles when I was a youngster; now I'm 54 yrs....I've watched it over a dozen times & never get bored. . There's 3 scenes to which Bart and Waco Kid bond thier friendship: 1.) When they first meet, play chess, and share history 2.) Kid comforts Bart: "...people of the land, you know... Morons!" 3.) Kid uses his lightening draw reflex to shoot guns out of the posse's hands These three solidify their partnership and demonstrate that racism is unfounded. . I'll handle #10 on separate entry.

@@ChattingwithMarkStise Which brings me to the tenth scene, and one which is in my opinion most ironically symbolic: Bible being shot during Bart's inauguration. One would think having the Holy Book destroyed would spark at least a gasp of breath from the deeply religious townsfolk. Whether the script sequence was on purpose by omitting any crowd reaction, only the producers would know. I haven't seen any commentary on the internet about this specific scene either. . Why (you might ask) is this on my "Tens" list? I'm agnostic & believe the Bible is fictional and religion is a farce. I oppose violence (having the book blown to smithereens); I'm a "Live & Let Live" kind of guy. However, there's a lot to unpack in this short scene. Instead of a townsperson yelling at Rev. Johnson in protest, someone took the other extreme & shoots the Book in his hand. One would expect Rev. Johnson to at least say "May God be with you...have mercy on your soul..." Instead, he abandons Bart by exclaiming "...you're on your own..." That choice of wording discredits Rev. immediately from being a Holy Man. Who was responsible for pulling the trigger and why didn't the townspeople turn on the gunman? Finally, listen to Rev's dialogue just previous to Bible being destroyed. Blowing the Bible symbolically means the words of the Good Book don't mean crap.. ...Sorry, ya'll. It was satisfying watching the Book be destroyed, and observing Rev. Johnson's hypocrisy...as well as the crowd overall. That religion stuff is just all for show, especially while in church. I could type a short essay, but I don't want to make the audience hate me more than they do already.

@@Schrimpieman perfect!

Twue, not true.

Awesome, it is a great movie!

Thanks

I was seriously thinking about that myself. There would be no way to make a movie like it.

You couldn't have a show like "All in the Family" either

Fore sure I thought this would make the list.

The 2 best scenes are too racially sensitive, I guess. That scene and the kkk scene are what I remember most about that movie

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

@@ChattingwithMarkStise I've got some heavy chores to do... Love this movie, dare I say,,, DARE DARE, I know it by heart! Hired you boys to lay some track! Not dance around like....

LOL Yes a good one!

My favorite also. The sherif is near? Is great too but you gotta love Mel and her boobs!

That was a really good one!

With just so many part how can you pick just ten?

What did he say???
