A superb little slice from the 1974 Mel Brooks classic!
Blazing Saddles was iconic when it first came out,
nothing quite like it before or since.
Filled with scenes that, for various reasons, could
never be created today.
Written by Mel Brooks, with input from Richard Prior
and Gene Wilder, this flick has a cult following like no other.
Cleavon Little and Charles McGregor, as Bart and Charlie,
are in a bit of a bind, a little ingenuity and some deft
shovel work and all is fine once again.
Kinda.
That line at the end makes me laugh out loud every time…

This is a kick-A** set of epic proportions.
Kellen Erskine is a superb go-to stand-up
comedian that I use if I absolutely need a
laugh on the show.
Smart as a whip, ranks up there with the
brightest comedians ever, a seriously gifted
man with talent to spare.
He is really laid back, when you do see a
facial expression or some subtle body
language associated with the joke it makes
the humor that much better.
Some SUPERB lines here…

The Cog is Dead, and Professor Elemental, with a
rather upbeat song about a particular dish that
certain southern folk like to gnosh with gusto.
It’s NOT a stew, so don’t call it that.
I’m not really sure what a @#$%^& gumbo is, I’ll
have to get back to you on that.
Good song though, lots of personality!
Great lines here…

Shaun the Sheep with a dark episode of
despair and depression.
Bitzer starts a fight with Shaun and all the
sheep beat the daylights out of him, sending
him to the vets, probably never to be seen again.
One might say Bitzer Bit the Big one.
If that were true.
I made that all up to give it some excitement.
Not a word of it is accurate.
It’s the usual really cute story line that will make
you go “Awwww” at the end.
Seriously, it’s a keeper.
I’m such a scamp…

Cy Amundson is a very funny stand-up comedian.
Story teller extraordinaire, he sets up most of his
jokes as a long anecdote sprinkled with humor
throughout, then he hits you with a superb punch line.
He has strange friends…
