One of the best scenes in all of cinema.
Not hyperbole, I mean it.
From a flick that is definitely one of a kind,
Blazing Saddles is as great a cult classic as
anything out there.
Cleavon Little plays a newly selected sheriff
that the local town folk just don’t appreciate.
He gets a Little pep talk (pun intended) from
the local gunslinger, as played by Gene Wilder.
As rumor has it, he did not know that Gene
would say exactly what he did, the smile and
laughter at the end are genuine.
To put it all into text watch the whole movie.
Even if you’ve seen it before I’m sure you’ll
find something new and hilarious, it’s that
kind of film…

Tommy Ryman with a smart set on being tough.
Or not.
Heavy on the not.
This is some of his early material, as good as it is
he gets a lot better with age.
I can appreciate his evolution, as he hones his act
he makes some subtle changes and really locks it in.
He gets better, but not tougher…

John Forster with a tale of monetary woe.
Based on a true story, a song of getting ahead.
One penny at a time…

A classic bit between two old friends.
They go so far back together it’s almost funny.
Actually it is VERY funny!
Two legends, with a pedigree that is too
extensive to list here.
This is part of the 2000 Year Old Man sketch
that they created back in the 1950’s and
made very popular in the 1960’s, it charted
and was considered to be a beloved recording
by all who listened to it.
Lots of imagination here, well thought out and
enhanced by the improvisational skills of
Mel Brooks…it really works on many levels.
R.I.P. Carl Reiner, you done good, kind sir…

Greg Warren with a look at dining out.
A really strange look at dining out.
He keeps getting better, I’ve been following
him since early in his career and he has
really honed his talents.
I love to play him on the show, snarks with
the best of them, and he exposes much lunacy.
Always good for a laugh…
