I agree with the order of Blazing Saddles, The Producers (1967) and Young Frankenstein. However, I feel that watching Young Frankenstein before seeing the 1930's Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein is like watching Spaceballs before seeing the original Star Wars trilogy, It's probably still funny but it's so much better knowing what is being parodied.

I'm thinking of something orange.

Pre-watch: Girl, y'all need a cuppa Joe! never mind... lol Mel actually called George Lucas and told him his idea, George told him to go for it. The 4th wall is never safe around Mel Brooks. The guy in the helmet is Rick Moranis. His ability to make those sounds (and many, many others) is what got him the part. When you see Alien (1979), it will make more sense When you see the original Planet of the Apes (1968), it will make more sense. When you see Prince Valiant (1954), it will make more sense et cetera... Post-watch: Don't be in a hurry to see Mel Brooks movies. Can you imagine watching this without ever seeing Star Wars? You'd have had some laughs, but you'd have missed a LOT. This isn't the only parody. Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles... all are parodies of other movies and genres. There were big references even in this movie that made no sense to you because they were unknown to you. All of Mel's movies make fun of things most people at the time knew. And Mel's references can go back to the 1920s and further. NOBODY gets all of them. But the more you've seen, the funnier he gets. Definitely do see more Mel Brooks films!! Just wait a bit and ask around.

He also just got knocked the f out by some random stranger for no reason walking down the street.

Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) was BIG in the 80s and early 90s. He mostly played "Geek" roles, and he's probably best known for playing the dad in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids trilogy. He semi-retired in 1997 after his wife died of cancer, so he can take care of his daughter. We're all very excited about the announcement that he's coming back to film -cough- the Honey I Shrunk the Kids reboot... Never mind that we'd prefer to see him in the new Ghostbusters movie, or a sequel to Spaceballs, or god forbid another Flintstones movie! *ahem* But he's coming back to us, and that's what counts.

The new "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!" is gonna take place after the original film.

For the record, and I find this really damn funny because I only learned this about a year ago. "Schwartz" is in reference to Mel Brooks' lawyer. All the Schwartz jokes have a whole new meaning when you realize that.

You should watch “Yellow Beard” and “History of the World, part 1”.

Mel Brooks is the guy who played the Spaceballs President.

Two references from the Wizard of Oz. 1) "what a world what a world". Witch melting. 2) Dorothy, Tin Man. Scare Crow and Cowardly Lion walking down corridor to meet the wizard.

The scene with the apes and the Statue of Liberty, was a reference to the original Planet of the Apes from 1968, you should check it out.

​@@awkwardashleigh Oh *definitely* Blazing Saddles. Also 'Planes Trains and Automobiles' starring John Candy who played 'Barf'. And the guy who makes the noises is Michael Winslow who gained Fame in the 'Police Academy' series of movies. Maybe partake in a few of them too - but they do get progressively worse. But PLEASE find time to watch 'A Fish Called Wanda'. So funny that someone died laughing watching it - recommendation enough surely ! Also have you seen any of the National Lampoons Vacation series ? definitely need to see 'Vaction' 'European Vacation' and 'Christmas Vacation' if not.

Love your reactions. The scene from Alien, with the xenomorph coming out of his stomach, and the end of Planet of the Apes (The original one) are the movie references at the end of the Spaceballs. It's an absolute classic. BTW, Bill Pullman played Lonestar, and also played the president in the original "Independence Day".

Mel Brooks played the President as well as Yogurt, he is a living legend. If you liked this, Young Frankenstein should have you in stitches.
