Happy 100th birthday to this legendary filmmaker and comedian, Mel Brooks! I had a great time watching both Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles and I can’t wait to watch the sequel soon. Thank you for bringing all the laughs! #Filmsky #Moviesky #June

Mel Brooks is older than sliced bread (first invented in 1928). I guess that makes sliced bread the best invention since Mel Brooks!

Okay so love this, but I am a bit uncomfortable with the way people are reposting it as good generic advice for life. Mel brooks is a once in a century genius who was taking notes from studio execs. Maybe take a minute to consider the possibility you’re getting useful notes, actually

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”
That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

I hear so many people say that Mel Brooks couldn't make Blazing Saddles today because the "woke mob" wouldn't have it. I can only assume people saying this have never seen Blazing Saddles. Brooks was woke way before there was a term for it. The racists were the JOKE in that film.

Happy 100 to Mel Brooks who marked my childhood since when my parents took me to Paris, the Metro stations were covered in posters for Young Frankenstein or Frankenstein Junior as they called it.

This movie is significant for me, if only because it was the only Mel Brooks movie I ever got to see in a theater. My dad had raised me on the movies, but in the early 90s, Mel was on a bit of a hiatus. I remember this as being possibly the first movie my dad *had* to take me to see in a theater.

Now on in the background, Robin Hood: Men In Tights (Brooks, 1993)

Nick Kroll: Mel Brooks was cooler than Woody Allen. *looks at the camera* For any number of reasons. Me: And that's why I pick him as Mel in the biopic

Happy 100th birthday to my absolute favorite, Mel Brooks. Even tho it's not one of his major hits, this movie is an underrated classic for so many reasons, but mostly this scene alone

Imagine a 250th where the Museum of American History celebrates American Icon Mel Brooks' 100th with free screenings of his movies on the Mall.

This week is gonna be such a tacky-ass way to celebrate this 250 year old country and we should all hang our heads in shame for that.

Mel Brooks also won the one war he fought in. More than the Confederacy can say!

Mel Brooks is a greater piece of American heritage than the Confederacy.
