dance number in young frankenstein makes me laugh out of control every time.

the monster screaming puting on the ritz is too much funny.

dolci and I were doing the Monster's rendition one day when Puttin on the Ritz came on the radio and her 11yo daughter looked at us like we were possessed  and was clearly in a WTF state about it...so we explained it to her and then I lent her my DVD and now she understands....

I love Blazing Saddles, but Young Fronkensteen is one of the greatest movies ever made.

When did it first occur to you that Frankenstein was funny?

I was in the middle of shooting the last few weeks of "Blazing Saddles" somewhere in the Antelope Valley, and Gene Wilder and I were having a cup of coffee and he said, I have this idea that there could be another "Frankenstein." I said not another â€" we've had the son of, the cousin of, the brother-in-law, we don't need another Frankenstein. His idea was very simple: What if the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with the family whatsoever. He was ashamed of those wackos. I said, "That's funny."

The biggest fight we had, honestly, shame on me, was he said to prove the monster was more than mechanically able to walk or move, he wanted the monster to do Irving Berlin's "Putting on the Ritz." I said, "Having the monster sing and dance is just going to be silly." He said maybe you're right, but can we try it? So we shot it and I said, "This is the best thing in the movie." It turned out to be hysterically funny. And it is one of our best numbers in "Young Frankenstein" the musical.

Funniest movie line ever

Young Frankenstein - Funniest Scene (Old Hermit Scene)

I hadn't seen that in quite a while. Lol.

It was bothering the shit out of me trying to figure out who was the actor playing the blind hermit but then I figured it out, Gene Hackman! Lol

He ad-libbed the "Where are you going...I was gonna make espresso" line.

"Werewolf!"
"There wolf."

(Howling sound)
[Fronkensteen] "Werewolf?"
[Eye-gore] "There wolf." (Points toward howl) "There castle." (Points at castle)
[Fronkensteen] "Why are you talking like that?"
[Eye-gore] "I thought you wanted to."

And, in closing... Blucher!

[mstevens]

I love that when Dr. F is drawing the upper motor system on the chalkboard, Gene Wilder actually sketches in the decussation of the pyramids more-or-less correctly, yet moments later someone is paralyzed by putting a clamp on his neck.

And, in closing... "Nice... hopping."

Where are you going? Six or seven quick ones and your off to drink with the boys! You'd better keep your mouth SHUT!
I think I'm in love.


Somebody ride back into town and get a $#!t load of dimes.

Ah yes, I love the "Fraulein Blucher" lines and the horse whinnys!! Feldman sticking his out the door one last time yelling "Blucher!".

Two great lines from two seriously funny as shit movies. Are there any parts or lines that aren't funny? Cleavon Little as the Sheriff was just brilliant!! Oh hell... who wasn't great and well cast? Funny, my wife likes Young Frankenstein but can't get a grip on Blazing Saddles at all. Waz up with that? Theories anyone?
