You should split more reactions into two parts, you get more reaction that way.
I also appreciate the subtitles. I can sometimes be hard of hearing and I never watch scripted content without captions.
Always down for a 2parter if is good content 👌
No one seems to remember that the Count Basie band(he was pretty famous, back in 1974) is the one in the middle of the desert.
True, I've been disappointed that not one of the many people I've seen reacting to this have commented on Count Basie. Usually they just say something like "wow, he's even got his own band" (speaking of Sheriff Bart) but fail to recognise the Count Basie name and pick up on the joke. Maybe I'm just a lot older than I thought... 😆
One of my favorite bits that no one seems to clock: Gene Wilder's Jim is the first (only?) one to use the non-pejorative word "Black," and Cleavon Little's Bart says, "Yes, we are" with sudden gravity and seriousness. Since Jim is just as smart as Bart, it underscores the main point of the film: racism and racists are stupid.
He's not the first or only one. Hedley Lamarr uses the phrase "a black sheriff" in a simply factual way when talking to the governor (and possibly elsewhere, I can't remember. It's been a while since I saw the whole film). In fact, there's no evidence that Lamarr himself is racist - unlike the gang of thugs and the townsfolk, he never utters the N word or other slurs (that I can recall), and he's willing to have all kinds of nationalities in his gang of villains at the end - but he's happy to use the biases and prejudices of others for his own ends.
@@coldwhite4240 Hedley is fueled more from greed than racism.
@@coldwhite4240 very insightful 🙂
It's even more loaded than that. Bart's voice lowers because he's anticipating trouble. In 1973 when this film was made, "black" was still a touchy word. It had been an insult not that long before, and black people had reclaimed it in the 60's. But it had become tangled with the Black Panther Party, who were accused and tried for a lot of heinous krap they never did, and so the word was in a delicate, difficult position. If a black person used it, fine; but if a white person used it, it was up in the air what they meant by it. So Jim is careful and polite when he uses it, and Bart is cautious and prepared when he answers. (That's why Jim's response to his answer always got a laugh - not only was it funny but it broke the tension of the moment, one of the few serious moments, if not the only one, in the whole film.)
@@coldwhite4240 Yeah-Hedley isn't a racist per se. He's the type who considers everyone useful in terms of his ability to take advantage of their weaknesses in order to further his own gains. Honestly, I prefer the outright racists to people like him. At least with outspoken racists, you know where they stand. Better to have someone with a bat and torch in front of you than to have someone like Hedley standing behind you with a knife.
The early scene with the singing is just so brilliant. This 'superior' bunch of morons expecting the workers to act in stereotypical ways, then the workers come out with smooth sophisticated jazz. Then the dumb racist guys are the ones prancing around like fools while Bart and the others laugh at them. This whole movie shows who the real fools are.
I've watched several Blazing Saddle reaction videos because I love watching people discover one of my favorite movies. Yours is my favorite; You seemed to enjoy it the entire time and seemed to catch more of the jokes than some folks. Loved it.
Trivia: Madeline Kahn, who played Lili von Shtupp, was an operatically trained singer who started out as a chorus girl. Her horrible singing in this role was pure comedy.
She was actually humming out of tune! Do you know how hard it is to do that?
She said singing bad on purpose took just as much practice as singing well.
That was one of the things my dad always made sure we understood when he showed it to us as kids. The whole movie is filled with fantastic performances. :)
Refreshing to hear a young person express thoughts and ideas, rather than just keep saying "Bruh. Duude. Bruh."
I have no idea how many times I've seen Blazing Saddles or how many reactions I've watched to it. Well into double digits for both. Your reaction made me laugh just as hard as any. Great job.
Wow, thank you!
1. Mel Brooks played the Governor and the Indian Chief and one of the thug roundup.
2. Mel Brooks doesn't just break the 4th wall he shatters, steps on and grinds it into the ground.
3. The preacher(Liam Dunn) plays in Young Frankenstein as an old man that gets racked by Dr. Frankenstein. Madeline Kahn also had a smallish role in it.
4. Yes, Bart and Jim were smoking wacky tobacky.
5. The line, "You know morons" was ad lib by Wilder. Little's reaction was real.
6. The guy that was supposed to play Jim showed up the first day drunk so he was let go.
Wilder agreed to do this movie for Mel Brooks only if Mel would direct Young Frankenstein for him.
Sounds like the original "Jim" was too much into method acting, Jim being an alcoholic.
The "Up yours..." part is probably one of my favourite scenes in a comedy of all time. And the "apology" later on is just perfect.
Putz is a Yiddish expression for idiot. Mel Brooks is Jewish, so Yiddish crops up in his scripts. The 'Sioux Chief' (also Brooks) is actually speaking Yiddish (it sounds German because Yiddish is a branch of German) Its less common now in favor of Hebrew.
That horse is a good actor. I saw the making of of this movie. That horse was taught how to fake a hit and take a fall.
That’s really cool!
You can see the rider/trainer give a tug on the reigns right before the "hit". Great timing.
I've always say: Animals are smarter than people 😉😎🐕
Too few people recognize the great Count Basie and his orchestra...
Classic… When he pulls down that “Welcome Sheriff” sign 😂😂😂 Gets me every time!
😂😂😂
Yah man, I LOVE that too😆
excuse me while I whip this out!
The joke with the cows is about when filmmakers bring in extras to just be seen they used to be called cattle or something like that.
Don't remember the exact name but I saw it once in another comment.
I didn’t know that😂😂 that’s smart
An open audition is called a "cattle call" in Hollywood.
Hey, that's pretty good. I've been trying to figure out that joke for years.
Do your research now. The orchestra was the Count Basie - very well known and excellent back in the time the movie was made. MANY references are to characters known then. When the mayor said he'd present a "laurel and hearty welcome" he was referring to Laurel and Hardy, a comedy team in the 20s to the 50s. Many other references, including one to Jesse Owens, a Black Olympian.
Gucci was not around at the time. That's part of the joke. The Band Leader is Count Basie, on of the best Jazz artists, and again part of the joke.
The band in the desert is the legendary Count Basie and his band.
Film trivia fact: there's a copy of this enshrined in the library of Congress for it's cultural significance (due to the fact it's the first major motion picture to include farting without exchanging the sound for a bell/honk/etc.)
One of the greatest comedies ever made (with so much to say, in addition to the comedy - which is what comedy should be). I enjoyed your reaction.
This film was always one of the best satires about racism ever put to film. Sadly, if this were released in this day and age people would lose their collective minds because satire is dead in the 21st century.
Young Frankenstein, another Mel Brooks movie with Gene Wilder, came out the same year. Which is appropriate for Halloween.
BLUCHER !!!
(horses whinny in fear )
That's... Frankensteen.
It's not "a whole band" -- it's the fscking Count Basie Orchestra!
My favorite part is how Gene Wilder turns into mickey mouse when he smokes w33d.
😂😂😂the voice change was on point!
Well yeah, his voice got *high*
@@hackerx7329 lol, nice pun.
2:27 You skipped the part where Bart confesses that, “My grandmother was Dutch”. That's a reverse play on the "One drop rule" where a social and legal principle of racial classification that was prominent in the 20th century United States that asserted any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ('one drop' of 'black blood') is considered black. Bart was implying that since he had "one drop" of Caucasian blood that he wasn't really black. A subtle yet brilliant joke.
4:22 You heard the expression, "...and the horse you rode in on."?
Wow, great catch! I'm constantly learning new things about this movie.
@@glennwisniewski9536 Yeah, there's so, so much fun. Slapstick, mockery of racism, puns ("...a laurel & hearty handshake" = Laurel & Hardy comedy duo), subtle jokes, inside jokes (Hedly Lamar = Hedy Lamar), absurdity (Count Basie and his band playing in the desert), the Indians speaking Yiddish and wearing red, white and blue. warpaint. It's a wonderful comedy.
One of the greatest anti-racism movies ever!
This movie is so stuffed full of jokes, it's ridiculous, but a great many of them depend on knowing the time it was made in, and on knowing old movies. But here's one joke that's pretty good: everyone in Rock Ridge is named Johnson because they are all... johnsons. (As you can tell by their behavior.) Another thing about those names is that every Johnson name you hear was an actual person. Gabby Johnson was an actor who specialized in just that kind of character. Howard Johnson was the founder of a chain of ice-cream parlors. Van Johnson was a famous movie star of the 50's. And speaking of Western stars, two of them are referred to: Richard Dix played bad guys ("Remember when Richard Dix tried to take over this town?"), and Randolph Scott (* takes off hat* RAN-DO-OLPH SCOTT!!) played good guys. See, the movie is crammed with that kind of thing.
Gabby Johnson = the character, parodying Gabby Hayes = the actor. Just sayin'.
This film broke so many ‘taboo and social perceptions’ proving the futility and stupidity of racism through to the farting, which hadn’t been shown in a film before.
The governor played by the great Mel Brooks who also co-wrote, and directed. Still with us at age 95.
So many people don't get the joke when Bart starts singing...Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick out of You"...Cole Porter was Black.
Not sure if you are joking or not. Don't mean to be a know-it-all, but I double-checked and Cole Porter was most definitely white. I think the joke in BS about the standard "I Get a Kick Out of You" is that the song came out in 1934, so it's use in the Old West, combined with the sophisticated way it's sung, is a bit of absurdist humor.
@@glennwisniewski9536 OK, I admit that I am wrong on Cole Porter's heritage. For some reason I got the impression that he had some black ancestry.
Putz, literally, in Yiddish, means penis. It's like calling someone a prick or a schmuck. That's not just any band. That's the legendary Count Basie and his orchestra. Lots of references in this movie, many from before your time, but if you ask, your commenters will tell :))
The guy who told them to sing in the beginning was having trouble because he couldn't bring himself to say the n word. Cleavon Little talked to him and reminded him that it was just acting and no one was going to think he normally used the word or be offended.
Wow!
The shovel to the head was Slim Pickens's idea. He insisted that his character experience some kind of consequences for his racist language or he wouldn't take the part.
The making of this movie is amazing. You should check out the extras. A lot of great and talented people.
I gotta see those!!!
This movie doesn’t break any rules or acknowledge anything knew. This is an honest race relations comedy. From a Jew who understood his American history, this movie should be showed in 6th grade so all of us have an honest opinion of the history of our country… and a couple good god damn laughs
Satire. Lost Art!! Peace, Love!!
"It's all right, Taggart. Just a man and a horse being hung out there,'" i.e. hung like a horse.
Count Basie put a definite twist in the movie nothing like you would ever expect
21 Seconds into this video, I'm thinking, Oh Lord, I need to put my seatbelt on... Son, are you sure you know what you are getting yourself into???? OK, I'm going to go along for the ride with you. Just remember, I'm white, but I did not write this movie... I hope you enjoy it.
Without closed captioning, I thought Mel Brooks had said "can't you tell that man is a nit" which is singular for lice. Unrelated, my God you're too young to be married. You look like a teenager, and yet you have a wedding ring. ;-) Great reaction.
They got the subtitles wrong. They say “can’t you see that man is a **g?” But he actually says “can’t you see that man is a nit?”
Quicksand, something alot of us kids were afraid of but never ended up running into
Everyone in town is named Johnson
Right! And each Johnson is named after a famous Johnson in history (Dr. Samuel J, Howard J, Van J, Harriet J, Olson J for the Olson and Johnson comedy team, Gabby J for Gabby Hayes). All except Anal Johnson (he's the bartender that spits into the glass to clean it - listen to one of the songs for his name - he's called Anal perhaps because he's anal retentive or maybe because a "johnson" is a you-know-what and an anal "johnson" is a you-know-what that goes you-know-where).
It is a very brave movie that is a brilliant mockery of all kinds of prejudices and ignorance. And it is funny too.
I saw this in the theater. Movie was absolutely hilarious. I had forgotten just how well Slim Pickens could handle a horse.
Yeah, Slim was a genuine cowboy, with 20 years in the rodeo. The horses he rode in Blazing Saddles were his own, brought to the set from his ranch.
Not A band. The Count Basie Orchestra.
Hey BehindTheCam, lots and lots of in-jokes in this one requiring some knowledge of everything from history to cultural fixtures of the day. One example of the latter is the joke about the Johnsons, and one in particular, Howard Johnson. It pays to know that in 1974 there was a national restaurant chain called Howard Johnson's, the largest such chain in the U.S. throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It famously advertised having 28 flavors of ice cream. The joke in BS is that we see Howard Johnson's placed in the Old West with only one flavor.
It would be wise to raise the volume of the movie so that your voice is not so much louder than the flick.
Yes, i enjoy his commentary and reaction but even just raising the volume a bit would make the vid more engaging, some of these movies i havent seen in awhile lol
a putz is a Yiddish word for the
ding a ling
He punched a horse🎉🎉🎉🎉
🐎😞😂
Duck 3:16
One of the funniest movies EVER. 🤣
Folks today don’t understand what anachronisms are and why they are funny.
And to think they wanted Richard Pryor for the role of the Sheriff.
Well they did get to have Richard Pryor write part of the script. Though of course while Mel thought Richard would write most of Sherif Barts scenes, Richard instead came up with most of Mongo's. Along with being there to keep telling Mel "The joke here is how stupid these racists are, so they have to act much more racist."
90 seconds in... (He did not know what he was getting into), does he still have an open mind?
😳😂
@@BehindTheCam01 Airplane, you need to watch Airplane next and Young Frankenstein.
First of all it's not looney tunes, but merry melodies
Great point. You are absolutely correct. By 1942, the theme music for Looney Tunes was "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" and the theme music for Merrie Melodies was an adaptation of "Merrily We Roll Along" (the latter heard in Blazing Saddles).
Gucci started in 1921.
I love your sense of humor, I think I'll subscribe.
Ayeee thanks!!
Great reactions!!
Richard Pryor wrote most of the jokes.
That fart is in the Guinness book as both the first and longest fart ever filmef
I found this channel by accident, I didn't know you have 3 channels 🤣
Yeah gotta get around this shadow ban some how😂😂🙏🏾
Great job.
It’s breaking the fourth wall, not the third wall.
Mel Brooks wouldnt say the N word
Now I'm gonna make a video of me making faces and saying stoppid $#!+ while watching your video.
Work on your editing. The movie was visible sometimes, translucent sometimes, and half on the bottom sometimes.
The first farts put into a film.
Really??!
En utav Melbrooks bästa filmer... men snacka om i att snacka sönder bedömmningen utav den.
Edited dialogue? Nope.
Would you rather me steal the entire movie?🤓
I know you're worried about copyrights but your video is very hard to watch.
