The Hermit Scene

This is a hoot.
A thoroughly splendid scene from the classic Mel Brooks
and Gene Wilder flick, Young Frankenstein.
The whole movie is a parody of the original Frankenstein masterpiece
from 1931, a top notch telling of the Mary Shelley novel penned in 1818.
This scene is special for a few reasons, it stars Gene Hackman as the
hermit, in an uncredited role, and Peter Boyle as the big green thing.
This will make you laugh, through the actions of the actors, as well as
the sight gags and facial expressions…

Red Ants

Heywood Banks with a Summer tune about tiny little animals
that like to join you when you picnic.
And like to hang around when you wash dishes.
And know which bathroom wall to watch you from that is most
annoying, I swear they take pictures…
