telegram for mongo

 

Saw this when it first came out..

 

Excellent - another one to keep like Young Frankenstein a few weeks ago.

"Damn your eyes"
"Too late"

 

"Come on, give us a good ol' fashioned ****** work song!"

 

This is a classic and im entitled to be called one still makes me laugh

"One move and the ****** gets it!"
" Oh Lordy so shoot me maser dont shoot me!"

Classic

 

Candy-gram for Mungo!

 

"Well since you are my guest and I am your host, what are your pleasures; what do you like to do.

"Oh, I don't know.....play chess........................screw!"

"Well, lets play chess!!"

 

Funniest film I seen

Quality

 

A true classic and so clever in how it approaches the subject yet is pi55 funny all the way through!

The beans scene still gets me...

 

hehe ill tune in

 

"Have some more beans, Mr Tarrart?"

"I'd say you've had enough!!"

Gene wilder and Cleveland (Sp?) Little did more to promote racial harmony in that film than possiby anyone else other than a certain Dr. King. It'd be deemed racist, by the PC brigade today, but -as ever- they'd be missing the point.

A film as intelligent as it is daft and funny.

'Qualifications?'
'Rape, murder, arson, and rape.'
'You said rape twice.'
'I like rape.'

 

"badges?
..badges?


We don need no steeenking badges!.."

 

bean scene still one of the funnyest

 

............dong.............

 

"Oh. It's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue! "

"....Where's my froggy?"

 

 

..its as good as i remembered

 

The old lady gets me everytime.

Sherrif "Good morning ma'am"
Lady " up yours ******"

When you watch it for the first time, not the responce you expect.

That film was an absolute classic, and did more for race relations than the pc croud today, but most people miss the subtle messages and take it at face value.

 

'shut up, you tuetonic ****!'

 

"we'll give land to the ******* and the ****** but we don't want the Irish"

Fair comment.

 

aaw, prarie sheet!

 

Hello

I always liked Blazing Saddles. I would imagine with the successful remake of The Producers (I really liked the original) that this is due for resurrection.

Send a wire to the main office, and tell them that I said . . . OW!
Send wire, main office, tell them I said, "ow." Gotcha. ...



One of my all time favourite films. Saw this as a nipper, growing up in the Scottish Highlands, where it was very unusual to see black or other ethnic people for that matter. Apparently at the supermarket in Inverness one day I saw a black man and said to my Mum, "Is that a ****** Mummy?"! My Mum says she was extremely embarassed but the chap thought it was highly amusing . I'm happy to say I have grown up without any racist tendancies whatsoever, so it obviously didn't have a detrimental effect on me.

Quality film.

 

"Where's all the white women at" Is my personal favourite .

 

My mate who was born & bred in Kingston, Surrey was out with his grandad and they say a bus load of black folk. He said "Look grandad - spear chuckers" . He's not racist - but clearly he must have picked it up from someone (Grandad did look a bit concerned)

It's probably a good job they didn't hear him !

 

"Spear Chucker" was the nickname given to a medic in MASH until they pulled the character when they realaised there were no coloured medics in Korea.

Another classic (TV series) that deals with issues very well.
