ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS (1993) works through how completely committed Mel Brooks is to the joke. The movie follows every classic swashbuckling adventure beat perfectly, then stops every few minutes to make fun of the fact it’s doing exactly that.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) feels like Mel Brooks looked at every serious Robin Hood adaptation and decided none of them deserved dignity. Cary Elwes playing the whole thing completely straight is what makes the stupidity hit so hard every time.

When Mel Brooks phoned Cary Elwes to offer him the lead role in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993), Elwes hung up the phone as he thought Jim Carrey was pranking him by doing a Mel Brooks impression. Brooks phoned him again and said, “Don’t hang up! It’s really me! I want you for Robin Hood. We’ll cast the film together.” Elwes accepted the role immediately. (Cary Elwes interview with Ryan Parker, The Hollywood Reporter, 2021) P.S: On this day, 33 years ago, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993) was released in the USA and Canada.

Young Frankenstein (1974) looks and feels like a classic Universal monster movie right until Gene Wilder starts spiraling into complete lunacy. Mel Brooks recreating the old horror aesthetic so perfectly is exactly what makes every joke hit even harder.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) got trashed by critics, but it knows exactly how silly it is and leans all the way in. The jokes are rapid fire, the accents are absurd, and that’s the whole charm.

Mel Brooks on one of his favourite scenes in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993): "Sometime in 1992, a talented young writer by the name of J. D. Shapiro came to me with a wonderful new take on the classic Robin Hood story. He was a pleasure to work with and in no time, we had a script worth making. I stole my Robin Hood once again from Rob Reiner, from whom I had earlier stolen Daphne Zuniga for 'Spaceballs' (1987). In Rob’s magical picture 'The Princess Bride' (1987), I found my perfect Robin Hood: Cary Elwes. He had the look, the voice, and the charm. I thought he could possibly be the next Errol Flynn! Cary was a delight to work with; we got along really well on the set and to this day we are still good friends. One scene from the movie I particularly love is the exchange between Cary and Mark Blankfield, who played Blinkin. Upon Robin’s return from the crusades, Blinkin catches him up on what's happened to his family during his absence." ("All About Me!", Mel Brooks, 2021)

After the release of "The Producers" (1967), Mel Brooks got lots of letters from almost every Rabbi in New York condemning the movie [for its depiction of Hitler] & asking him to think twice before making a movie like it again. Brooks wrote back to every single Rabbi explaining, "You can't get on a soap box with Hitler. You've got to ridicule him. You got to bring him down with laughter. There is no way to get even." He wrote to make them understand the real intent behind the "Springtime for Hitler" scene. And he got a few letters back saying, "Maybe you're right, you know? It was OK." (Mel Brooks' interview with Conan O'Brien, 2013 & "Mel Brooks says his only regret as a comedian is the jokes he didn't tell", Terry Gross, 2022)

IDGAF why the lady told the Muslims to get out of America. She has every right to do that. In fact, the men in this country should be doing that so she doesn’t have to.

Jesse Plemons is only in CIVIL WAR (2024) for a few minutes, yet he completely hijacks the movie. The tension in that scene is so unbearable that it feels like the entire film briefly stops breathing. One of the most memorable sequences of the year.

🎬This “Last Supper” scene from History of the World, Part I (1981) is peak Mel Brooks. A waiter (played by Brooks himself) keeps interrupting the sacred moment to ask if they want soup or separate checks. The whole bit is ridiculous, anachronistic, and hilarious. It’s exactly the kind of irreverent, lowbrow historical parody that Mel Brooks did better than almost anyone. The “Soup or separate checks?” line is still one of the most quoted gags from the movie. Does this kind of silly, anachronistic humor from Mel Brooks still make you laugh, or does it feel very 80s now? 👇 #HistoryOfTheWorldPartI #MelBrooks #LastSupper #ClassicComedy #MovieScene #80sComedy

Mel Brooks directed Spaceballs in 1987 & it’s one of the best satires in Cinema history. Now, 40 years later, Brooks is going to star in a Spaceballs sequel that’s set to drop in April of 2027. The sequel will undoubtedly miss John Candy, but the fact Brooks is returning for the sequel & will be acting again is why I’m excited. That, and Rick Moranis is ending his acting hiatus.

Jodie Comer and Hugh Jackman tell us how 'THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD' differs from other Robin Hood adaptations: “What I thought was so brilliant about this was, what if the legend or the mythology or the folk hero of Robin Hood was actually created by him for not-great purposes, in order to make people do whatever he wanted, and control people and manipulate people, and that there's a darkness to him? And so then as the movie goes along, you see him using story in a redemptive sense.”

EUROTRIP (2004) knows exactly what kind of comedy it wants to be and doesn’t try to be anything else. It leans hard into every stereotype, every ridiculous misunderstanding, and every over-the-top joke. The surprising part is how many of them still work.

I can understand the criticism the Boruto anime gets , it’s completely understandable and ruined the potential of the series and that’s a fact. What’s also a fact is that Boruto STILL has the BEST FIGHTS in newgen. Crazy how that works 😭 #BORUTO
