Mel Brooks

StrawberryIcecream · 04-07-2002, 03:56 PM

Anyone else admire his genius???

With such films as Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood men in tights who can complain???

We're men! we're men in tights! we wander around the forest looking for fights!

~Hello Froderick Fronkensteen
-It pronounced FREDERICK Fronkensteen, Igor
~ It's pronounced eeegor, Froderick!!!

hee hee!

***Khamûl*** · 04-07-2002, 06:45 PM

Yeah, I like his stuff. This is one of my favorite exchanges.

"Hey Blinkin!"
"Did you just say 'Abe Lincoln'?"
"No I didn't say 'Abe Lincoln', I said 'Hey Blinkin'!"

***gdl96*** · 04-07-2002, 06:51 PM

"Robin! You're back from the crusades! But oh no, you lost you arms in battle. But you seem to have grown a nice set of breasts"

"Blinkin, meet Achoo"
"A Jew? Here?"

hehe...I love his movies

Robin Hood
The Producers (I've seen the movie, but not yet the play as it is very expensive and hard to get tickets)
Young Frankenstein
Silent Movie
Blazing Saddles
History of the World Part 1

I like Spaceballs. I HATE the vampire one, what's it called again, with Leslie Neilsen?

***Khamûl*** · 04-07-2002, 10:19 PM

Dracula: Dead and Loving It? I think that was the name of it. I've never seen it.

***gdl96*** · 04-07-2002, 10:29 PM

that was Mel Brooks?

My principal looks like Mel Brooks. Seriously.

And I forgot about Spaceballs. I love that one.

Edit: I also like Blazing Saddles, which is really, really silly.

I didn't like Men in Tights though, just wasn't up to his previous calibre.

***Earniel*** · 04-08-2002, 05:39 AM

Men in thights was the first one I saw. So very funny! Especially the Blinkindialogues. the one where he guessing that no one's coming cracks me up everytime!

Eowyn, The Lioness · 04-08-2002, 05:06 PM

I think Young Frankenstein has to be his best
"Pardon me, boy, is this the Transilvania Choo-Choo?"
"Ya,ya! Trck tventy-nine! Can I give you a shine?"
or:
" Who's brain did I just put in there?"
"Abbey something"
"Abbey? Abbey who?"
"AbbeyNormal"
ROFL! Great stuff!

Darth Tater · 04-08-2002, 07:33 PM

My favorite Mel Brooks film is the little known The Twelve Chairs.
"How could you do such a thing? How could youdo such a thing? How could you do such a thing?"
"Oh thou who knowest all... you know!"
"Ya ya ya! Ya te ta ta!"

cee2lee2 · 04-08-2002, 09:56 PM

Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are comedic classics.

***Khamûl*** · 04-08-2002, 10:23 PM

Yeah, Young Frankenstein is great.

"Put ze candle BACK!"

"Frau Bluher!" *cue the neighing horses*

***gdl96*** · 04-08-2002, 10:27 PM

hehe

I noticed that some of the jokes in Robin Hood are used from his other movies...like the neighing horses thing and the "A black sheriff?!?" from Blazing Saddles. (I love the scene where he takes himself hostage...hehe)

Anyone ever see silent movie? Slapstick humor at its best. I was very skeptical about how they could pull off a silent movie, but they did it very well and it kept my interest. I love the irony of how the only word spoken in the whole movie is by the famous mime Marceau Marceal (or whatever he's called)

StrawberryIcecream · 04-10-2002, 03:59 PM

So what are all his movies? I have to watch all of them!!! I have watched blazing saddles, Men in tights and Young frankenstein so far!!!

Fave quotes:

I could put all of the men in tights words up here but i wont!

Is it just me or does Mel seem o have an obsession with moving body parts???

I mean look at eeegors hump which travelled from side to side and the sherif's (or was it King Richard) Mole!!!!

It was classic!!!

"You have to be a man to wear tights!"

Darth Tater · 04-11-2002, 09:39 AM

Silent Movie is awesome! I've seen Marcel Marceu live, he's incredible.

eowyn144 · 04-11-2002, 03:21 PM

i don't really like or know Mel Brooks (so what is she doing on this thread i hear you cry) but i do love Robin Hood men in tights! it has to be one of favourites. just thought i'd let you know that.

Tar-Elendil · 04-23-2002, 09:06 PM

spaceballs has to be my all time fav show! the guy is a comedic genius. the part where helmet and lonestar battle with their "schwartz" is especially funny

BeardofPants · 04-23-2002, 09:17 PM

"I see your schwartz is as big as mine...."

elf_princess · 04-23-2002, 10:29 PM

I love spaceballs... that is one hilarious movie... I couldn't stop laughing... makes me laugh just thinkin about it...

***Earniel*** · 04-24-2002, 03:41 PM

Out of order? Even in the future nothing works!

Spaceballs was great! I didn't know it was his too.
