neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Part 2 of the Mel Brooks documentary and the "the peasants are revolting/you said it, they stink on ice" joke from "History of the World" just jumped off the top rope and flattened my ass. That movie is so goddamn underrated.

I couldn’t believe that a film could be so funny. And then you see Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety….Congratulations on the 100 candles. God bless you Mel Brooks.
positive · AI labelView post →45 years ago, I went to the theatre to see "History of the World, part 1". But it was sold out! So instead, I saw the movie next door, which at the time was not in great demand and I'd heard nothing about it. It came out 45 years ago today and was titled, "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Blew my MIND.
positive · AI labelView post →Because I am old, History of the World Part I is the Mel Brooks movie that earned him my undying allegiance forever. Watched at a completely inappropriate age because Gen X.
positive · AI labelView post →Hey, psst, the 1987 Mel Brooks film "Spaceballs" is free to watch on YouTube. Sadly, his 1981 film "History of the World, Part I" is not, nor are his 1974 films "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles." I'm sure there are others that are missing, but those are what come to mind.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think Spaceballs shares a "first Mel Brooks film" bias for me as well. Also love History of the World Part 1 and Blazing Saddles though
positive · AI labelView post →Time for breakfast and a movie. First time in a while I'm feeling a little better this morning. Except for muscle pains. This mornings randomly selected movie is... History of the World: Part 1, 1981
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm giving a talk at ACMI in Melbourne in Feb on “The Future History of the World in 7 On-Screen Objects”! The 7 objects are from games, film, and TV that I think represent ideas of the future, like: - Minority Report’s gesture-tech - Death Stranding’s exoskeleton - Paprika’s DC Mini dream machine

neutral · AI labelView post →TIL “Mel Brooks History of the World, Part 1” was almost universally panned by film critics in 1981. 15yo me thought it was absolutely brilliant. 59yo me still does.

neutral · AI labelView post →In all seriousness all she had to do was watch History Of The World Part I. For crying out loud Mel Brooks does a better job teaching history in a comedy film than our schools. The Inquisition number is not just hilarious but accurate as hell.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just now finished History of the World Part I for the first time in a while. It was the first Mel Brooks film I saw. And oddly, despite some funny, quotable and memorable moments, it's stayed toward the bottom of my list when ranking his films I've seen. Not sure if I can explain why.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know why among all the posts on Mel Brooks' 100th birthday, this film tends to get overlooked: "Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part 1." "It's good to be the king." youtu.be/7OWMB3ewpNM?...

neutral · AI labelView post →He had a number of them, which culminated in his films "The History of the World, Part 1," the play within the film "Springtime for Hitler," in "The Producers," and the wonderful gem, "To Be or Not To Be," featuring his amazing and talented real life wife, Anne Bancroft. Mel Brooks was the best. 💞🗽
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t think there’s a single better laugh in a Mel Brooks movie than “15… er… 10 commandments.” Up to History of the World Part I on my rewatch.
positive · AI labelView post →History of the World Part 1. That movie is hilarious.
positive · AI labelView post →I wish History of the World Part II had been more of an actual sequel than a retread of a lot of the same eras in History of the World Part I. And an actual movie rather than a mini-series.
negative · AI labelView post →What made Mel Brooks films unique is that he doesn't just copy/parody others movies & call it a day. Each of his films parody an overall film genre. Blazing Saddles: Western Young Frankenstein: Horror History of the World Part I: Historical drama Spaceballs: Sci-Fi Men in Tights: Action-Adventure

neutral · AI labelView post →- "Walk this way." only to have a silly walk others emulate. (Young Frankenstein AND History of the World Part 1) - King takes advantage of his position to make out with (and in the previous film, grope) attractive women with the line "It's good to be the King." (History of the World Part 1)
neutral · AI labelView post →This feels like the Caesar’s Palace scene from History of the World (Part I), except it’s real life in America 2026. Mel Brooks should write his next movie about this bullshit.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy 100th birthday to the legendary Mel Brooks, the creative madcap genius behind Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, High Anxiety, Silent Movie, History of the World, Men in Tights, The Producers...thank you for all of the laughs over so many years.
