RIP Carl ... thanks for all the laughs ! 😇🙏

"A lion is eating my foot off~!" My dad talked about this cartoon and I had no idea what he was talking about at the time. Lol, glad I found it.

'The Simpsons' brought me here, and I'm glad it did. :-) I really like the synthesizer Bach, too.

Hahaha I'm glad I found this! Hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WOW ----saw this around 40 years ago and its even better now----thanks for posting

Almost everyday of my life something comes up from this record -- especially "Never run for a bus, they'll always be another." But also "There's something bigger than Philip!"

i showed this video to my freind..we dont talk anymore

I saw this when I was a kid and have wanted to see it again ever since. Thanks for posting this!!

I barely remember rolling on the floor laughing at this on CBS all those years ago.

OMG that midi song used for the opening was epic for it's time

It's nice to see what it looked like in an animated world.

Thanks for posting. Haven't seen since I was a very little girl. All I remembered was the lion eating foot off part and the greatest invention part. So glad to see again.

The opening theme music is from "Switched-On Bach," which was the first album rendering Bach on an electronic instrument, the Moog (pronounced Moag) synthesizer. The performer was Walter Carlos, who later had a sex-change operation and became Wendy Carlos. The sound track is combined from the first 2 (of 5) 2000-year-old man albums made by Reiner & Brooks, with some material rearranged for continuity.

A LION IS EATING MY FOOT OFF! SOMEBODY CALL THE COPS! lol

@HMperson1 You have a great sense of humor. Another version of this joke was an account of "the first school spirit cheer." "To hell with everyone, EXCEPT Cave 76."

This was in a video rental place when I was little. I LOVED it, but, it's so short, I only rented it once. Wanted to see it again, but, better value for monies to rent full length movies, lol. So, thank you for sharing this.

I love the music in the intro. It's the 1970s, time to learn some shit on PBS!

dang, this brings back so many memories when I was little. i remember watching this with my pops and bro

It is a stand up improv routine from Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. It is not supposed to be historically accurate. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch.

I'm am soooooo happy to find this. Everyone thought i was crazy when i told them of some show i had seen where a lion was eating a cavemans foot off back when i was just little. This is the first time i have seen it since i was probably 4 years old. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing this man. WOW! what a great find :) Brings back some really great memories!

Wonder what this man would think of the world today? Reporter: "Uh, Sir; what is your opinion on the creation of the Internet? Did you happen to meet Mr. Bill Gates, the man who first came up with the idea?" 2,000 Year Old Man: "Well, ya know...when I first heard about it; I thought this 'internet' was somethin' else...like something you would use for fishin'."

A half-hour animated television special, The 2000 Year Old Man, premiered January 11, 1975,[2] incorporating some of the original recordings.[2] This special has since been released on VHS videocassette and DVD. The musical introduction was Bach's Sinfonia to Cantata #29 performed on a Moog synthesizer by Mort Garson.[citation needed]

Mel Brooks, funny as always, I have never seen this before, thank's for posting.

now i see where smodimations got their inspirations.

“We didn’t even know it was the sun.”

4 people crapped their pants laughing while trying to hit "Like"

I like it

Two of the greatest!

A lion, is eating, my foot off!!! A lion, is eating, my foot off!!!

Good old Mel is still alive and kicking and funny as hell, at least the last time I checked..lol...you talk about him in the past tense.

A LION IS EATING MY FOOT OFF-SOMEBODY CALL A COP!!!!

great stuff I wish Mel brooks was still doin' stuff these days.

As fresh & hysterical as 1st time I heard it in the '70s - Mel's rhythms are genius. But I still think it was funnier on vinyl with my imagination instead of the cartoons

Incredible funny!!!

That was FUNNY!!!!!!!!! "let them all go to hell" timeless Thanks for the Post

@elgincheese The music is done by Wendy Carlos (or possibly Walter at the time... don't ask) She was one of the first people to use and develop electronic synthesisers, and created several records to demonstrate their vast abilities by doing interpretations of classical music, mostly Bach. Look up "Switched-On Bach"

This is so great! And for anyone interested in the music - check out "Switched-On Bach" which is a 70's album playing Bach on the (then new) Moog!

Mel Brooks is not for the easily offended even though those were who he enjoyed watching his act the most.

Never touch fried foods and never running for a bus. *Better health *Less stress

You don't hear great stuff like this anymore.Not often,anyway.Anyone of any age could hear this;no need to cover the kids' ears(or Grandma's) when somebody says something crude.I like many forms fof humour,i'm not a prude,but I do wish that there was more of this gentle,whimsicle,even silly but not stupid,comedy around.

WHY WON' T MEL BROOKS MARRY ME?!

This caveman comes from just 2000 years ago. Are Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner "Young Earther's"?

Two thousand years ago, otherwise known as pre-history. I *knew* there was something fishy about HBO's "Rome"!

i saw the video cover at a store that closed down. the music reminds me of Mood keyboards by Mort Garson. what was that song again?

now i understand wha Home is reffering to on the simpsons when he is schuafering Mel Brooks

Do you know what that piece is called? @itsgud2bdking

the music here was performed by mort garson not wendy carlos!

@HaydenCoh I of course wouldn't waste more time watching this, but I have the right of sharing my opinion ;)

it is in english?

2000 years old?!?! Looks like God forgot about him

@greenapplestone why are you so upset? ^_^

1:37 what the hell is the name of that song???

WOT

??????

jeeze some people ..its a cartoon sketch ..mel brooks would have pissed himself at some of you people

I like it but not that good

European's were under the occupation of the mighty Roman Empire. Read some histoire.
