Happy Birthday Mel Brooks

[Auggie]

June 28, 1926. Thanks for the laughs.

1. In a humor-deficient world, Mel is GOD.

We need more people willing to laugh and make us laugh at ourselves. He's a master of equal opportunity haysteria.

Happy Birthday, and thanks a pantload!

NOT edited, because the typo cracks me up.

2. Just rewatched Blazing Saddles...

Awesome...

I may switch over to Young Frankenstein if I can find it...

[Auggie]

3. I posted a scene from History of the World Part I because

I think it's an often overlooked film of his. The Inquisition number cracks me up every time I see it.

7. Thanks! It's one of my secret favorites as well...

The Inquisition and French Revolution were awesome...

4. Even our President thought Blazing Saddles was funny as hell.

Happy Birthday Mel!

5. Still the funniest movie lines ever written:

Igor, would you help me with the bags?
(Groucho voice) Certainly. I'll take the blonde. You take the one in the turban.

6. Now I gotta go back to town

and get me a shitload of dimes. Happy Bday Mel.

8. "THAT'S OUR HITLER!!"

9. In the Producers when Zero says the above line..one of the

funniest moments ever. I can see Zero Mostel saying it now..

Happy Birthday Mel.
