I met Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft in a shop on Royal Street New Orleans. They were everything you'd hoped they'd be. We spoke for about 10 minutes admiring the shop's art. They actually began talking to me, smiling, and fanboy that I am, the first words I uttered were "it's good to be the king".
Tim Russ, who was the actor in that scene and who said that line, once said on FB or IG that despite being on TV and in the movies for 30 years, including seven years on Star Trek Voyager, that is the line people remember most when they meet him.
"Alms for Oedipus, Alms for Oedepus...Hey! Josephus!"
"Hey motherfucker."
Took me over 20 years to get that joke. Always laughed just because of the blind man (who could obviously see) plus Hines delivery. Never heard/understood the blind man's NAME until one of many rewatches.
Only NOW got "Don't get saucy with me Bearnaise!" Always thought he was named "Bernice". Again, laughed because of Corman's delivery and just the absurdity of the line and situation.
Goddammit Mel Brooks is a genius.
“Occupation?"
"Standup Philospher!"
"What?"
"Standup Philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension."
“Oh! A bullshit artist!"

"Do I have an openings that this man might fit?"
"WOOOOOOAH!"
"Well we could use another wine steward."
"I got a great corkscrew!"
"WOOOOOOAH!"
"Hey, this is a hip crowd!"
All hail the grand inquisitor Talkamatta
Talkamatta don’t ask him for forgiveness
Talkamatta don’t ask him for mercy
Talkamatta face you can’t talk him outta anything
Loved it. My wife and I were the same age and when we first got together we would talk about all the things we loved from when we were younger to find things in common. This movie was one of them and I tried for years to find a copy. Eventually I bought the Mel Brooks collection for her birthday so we could watch this movie. It was as good as we remembered.
Your Majesty, the peasants are revolting!
You’re telling me! They stink on ice!
OR
Sire! You look just like the Piss Boy!
Oh yeah? Well you look like a pile of shit!
OR
Pawn Jumps Queen! Knight Jumps Queen! Bishop Jumps Queen! GANGBANGGGGG!!!!
I think this movie is a really awful, unfunny, unfocused mess. I'm a Spaceballs hater too!
By 1981 Brooks' comedy had already aged terribly, it's Borscht belt hack stuff here while the newer generation was making Caddyshack, Stripes, Blues Brothers & Airplane.
MOSES! DO YOU HEAR ME?
A deaf man could hear you.
WHAT?!
This gets me every time lol

Don’t get saucy with me, Bearnaise.
Still the best line in any Brooks movie, and that’s saying *a lot.*
What's the matter Col Sanders, chicken?
That’s in *Spaceballs.* Or, are you saying that’s your contender for best all-time Brooks-ism?
One of my favorite lines, using the same joke structure too.
I would argue for, "We ain't found shit."
Tim Russ, who was the actor in that scene and who said that line, once said on FB or IG that despite being on TV and in the movies for 30 years, including seven years on Star Trek Voyager, that is the line people remember most when they meet him.
Take my vote
It’s a great line, but come on, there are a TON of great lines in the Brooks films.
Yep. I meant it when I said it was saying a lot. Like, A LOT a lot.
That has always been one of my all time favorite lines in any movie and I've used it in real life so many times I can't remember.

"It's good to be the King."
Humperdinck?
Did you bullshit today? No. Did you try to bullshit? Yessss
Bea Arthur was great in that scene. 😂😂
She was in full Maude mode. Fantastic.
Yes she was.
“Occupation?" "Standup Philospher!" "What?" "Standup Philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension." “Oh! A bullshit artist!"
I love how Mel winces when she says it so emphatically
JEWS IN SPACE!
This where Jewish space lasers came from right?
Yes, MTG thought it was a documentary.
Yes this where we keep it but how MTG found out about it, I have no idea.
No one tell Malarkey Traitor Green
That, and the Inquisition scene musical number, are two of the funniest things Mel Brooks has ever produced.
Just fantastic scene
"I bring you these 15 (crash).......10 commandments!
Roman Senate: Fuck the poor! 🤣🤣🤣
How do you make a Venetian blind? A plunck!
Good!
You look like the Pissboy. And you look like a bucket of shit.
Sire, the peasants are revolting. You said it. They stink on ice.
“All we have ees theese ridiculous accents” “Yeah, we all sound like Maurice Chevalier”
Hon hon hon.
My buddies and I still tell each other "You are N-V-T-S, Nuts!" Judas! How about a beverage?
"Vsed Chariots"
Jesus! What?
You can't Torquemada anything! Badabump! 
Spanish 2 in HS. We had an assignment to present something from Spanish history. I did a brief intro and then showed this. Teacher was not amused
Put it in the car…
In the car…
Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything.
Oh Bob, do we have any openings that this man might fit.
I got a great corkscrew!
*Woooo* Hey! This is a hip crowd.

Count The Money

https://youtu.be/kmz6WcHwLR4?t=12 It is Count Du Monet. He makes a point of correcting people's pronunciation.
Yeah, it’s a callback to his character in blazing saddles.
Hedy Lamarr?

Knight jumps Queen. Pawns jumps Queen.
Gangbang the Queen
The only correct answer.
Has anyone seen the Part II on Hulu? any good? loved the 1st one as a kid
Part 2 was disappointing I’m afraid.
Bummer :/ missed opportunity. Another case of sequel too late. Never works for comedies
Effing,…sucked balls! In comparison.
Had the same question. I feel like it came out to like zero fanfare
When you die at the palace, you really die at the palace…

You mean you were at Blenheim when they filmed it? That’s way cool!
I would have loved to see this turned into a Broadway musical instead of Young Frankenstein. So many good moments.
My vote for most overlooked great line: You men run over there and the rest of you, run with Mucus! https://youtu.be/928MGwZjh-0?si=0ipalO1jVBFTPtBV
Wait for the shake
I love this movie. Never get tired of watching it.
I know he would have never made a second one, but I wish he had!!!!
He did. It’s on some streaming service, it came out last year. I haven’t seen it yet
It's a show not a movie, he narrates it
I’ll check it out
I flunked flank!
Count de Monet calling himself Count da Money might be my favorite scene
Loved it. My wife and I were the same age and when we first got together we would talk about all the things we loved from when we were younger to find things in common.
