Blazing Saddles on Blu-ray
“Blazing Saddles” Plot:
Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn’s uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you get the idea.
Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn.

What’s the FUNNIEST thing that’s ever happened to you?
I was at our local walmart super center with a few friends I was gonna go one way one of my friends grabbed ahold of my jogging pants at the waist and pulled and pulled me their direction the string in the pants broke the pants fell down and I was going commando at the time.
I fell in the toilet in the middle of the night when I was a little kid.
Being drunk on a city bus in Oakland, and telling the driver to watch out for the “Honn Hornkers” instead of “Horn Honkers”. Made her night and this cracker cracked up the bus!
I was bit by a clown
i tripped down the satirs while carrying a cake. i reached the bottom, finally steadied myself and didnt drop or damage the cake. as i finally steadied completely impressed i managed to hodl on to the cake, took my next step on flat surface, stumbled, and my face crashed into the cake. this whole thing was done in front of a room full of people
A squirrel fell out of a tree and landed on my face

Not sure, but I did once trip and fall in front of others.
I can’t think of anything and now I’m sad.

I ate a lot of brownies and thought I was skinny dipping in the ocean the whole night.
Sliding down the stairs when I fell on my back.
Well, funny for everybody else, not so much for me… Tried to unlock what I thought was my truck (a company vehicle) for 20 minutes. Tried both doors, complained to everybody, then went to phone a locksmith. Everybody was watching me do this… knowing that I was trying to unlock the wrong truck (they’re all identical).
nothing that I can think right now… to be honest, my life is pretty boring…
Trying to chat up a girl while walking beside her, I walked into a telephone pole.
I fell in jr. high and they carried me out and put me on a gurney, covered me with a blanket and somehow word spread around school that I died…it was hilarious..
Tripped over nothing and face planted
I was tired a night and i entered in the wrong house after my work :S lol
I’m a major klutz..so the funniest and most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was tripping in front of the whole school during an assembly
Laughing with friends.
I spilt a coffee cup all over me lol
I got stuck on a zip line on the highest one … I ended up right in the middle and had to have one of the employees pull me to safety.
I don’t know about happenED, but I can confidently WILL happen…meeting Rob Postuma in Montreal next month. I can’t imagine anything funnier. :-D
Up the down escalator.
tripped UP the stairs
I tripped over a bag while running down my hallway .. i was telling my friend and re-enacted it and fell again, this time injurying my knee severely .. we were all laughing so hard no one could help me
One time, I was preforming in a comedy show and we were doing a comic martial arts routine. We coached our “volunteer” ahead of time on stage fighting techniques. However, when she got on stage, her adrenalin kicked in and she she tried too hard. I landed totally wrong and ended up in the hospital with cracked ribs.
The show must go on, though, so I finished the act and went to the hospital the next day.
Having a dream wherein I thought I was being shot at with a BB gun … and in turn running through my virtual backyard and grabbing the top step of the backyard staircase (14 steps) and pulling myself onto the old sundeck. Only … I was rolling over and grabbing the headboard and pulling myself forward. I ended up nearly breaking my nose in the process. That was fun explaining to family & college classmates about 12 years ago. They thought I was either a boxer, or had been in a fight. I replied that it was “only a dream …” .
…Fell flat on my face after travelling for hours squashed in a corner of a car….Got up and my legs let me down again…Worst pins and needles I ever had and very embarrassing.
When I was an employee at a store, I was given a shirt to wear, and proudly wore it for a whole year until someone finally pointed out that it was a female’s shirt. My coworkers had plenty of fun with that afterwards.

Well, you never heard 10 guys laugh so hard!
I stpped on a pop tart and blew out my flip flop..somebody even wrote a song about it!

I said “Hang on a sec, I gotta poo!” Unbeknownst to me that I wrote that in hte game room where everyone could see!!!!!! This one guy says “Ya, thanks for sharing!” OMG We were howling!!!!!

Looking over driving down the highway, and in the car next to us was Gene Wilder. He must of thought I was nuts waving like a lunatic at him.

One time my dog ran away and I had to chase her all over the neighborhood. I looked ridiculous!
Watching stand up.
it was my first time at the nudist resort — and quite frankly, that’s all i want to admit to
One time someone pissed in my beer bottle and I drank it. That was apparently pretty funny.
Was trying to impress a guy and drink out of a chocolate milk in high school while walking by him casually. I took the lid off and put it to my lips all sensually and turns out it was cased with aluminum foil I hadn’t noticed or removed.. so I took a sexy swig of… nothing. So.. so embarrassing.

I was with my girlfriend who at this time I had only been dating for about 3 months. We were in her car and matter of factly she says “I think my crack is getting bigger.” She was referring to the crack in her windshield.
just acting stupid and retarded!!!!
When I was a teenager, maybe 13, my Mom ran over my foot as she was backing out of our driveway.
That was not the funny part.
The funny part, at least now upon reflection, is when I yelled she stopped the car and jumped out, but she parked in on my foot still.
I was going out on a first date with a guy, he opened the door to car and I got in….I was nervous so I passed gas before he came around and got in to drive…all the sudden I heard laughter….His sister and her date was in the back seat and heard me….sooooooooo embarrassing.
My sister is always doing stuff to me to make me laugh.
I usually do the funnying
The funniest thing that happened to me is that i walked into a parking meter. It happened like you see in the movies. I was looking away, turned around and there it was and bang..I walked straight into it.
Stuck my leg out a car window to knock over one of those orange barrels on the highway (we were stuck in traffic so were barely moving). Didn’t realize the barrel was weighted down and my leg got caught on it and turned me almost completely around in the car seat, which almost broke my leg. The friend driving almost had to pull over she was laughing so hard.
Funny things that happen to me aren’t appropriate enough to tell.
I was tired one morning and I asked the man behind the counter for a packet of crisps. After a minute or so I looked up wondering why he was not getting them from me. He as just looking at me. It was then I realised that I had walked into a pharmacy.
I was holding a glass of ice water and giving directions. When I indicated behind me, I flung all the ice water over my shoulder!
Got my date names mixed up. Accepted a date from one guy over the phone and when he showed up I realized it was the wrong “Greg”. Hope it didn’t show on my face. lol.
Getting my pants pulled down in high school, definitely not funny for me. Looking back, I would have laughed if it wasn’t me.
This morning I woke up thinking “What the heck?… It was our Pomeranian licking my foot… It’s good to wake up laughing!
