Best BS reference I was ever involved in (this takes a little explanation, but stick with it):

We shoot Cowboy Action (steel plate match against the clock, usually 6 stages, dress up as Western characters). The stages have elaborate themes and scenarios, and to start the clock, the shooter has to say something.

One weekend, the theme for the match was "Western movies", and to start the clock you said your favorite line from a movie. We got to the "Blazing Saddles" stage, my husband went up to the line, got in the starting position, took his hat off, put it over his heart, and sang, "I get no kick from champagne . . . "

And three guys behind him harmonized "Woo . . . woo . . . wooo." (they weren't prompted, they just did it).

We were all laughing so darned hard we had to restart the clock.

I thought he said "..the sheriff is near"??

All kidding aside I thought Clevelon Little was great as the sheriff and Mel Brooks a genius for making this classic film..!

Awww., Hell naw!!!

My favort Gov. line:

We’ve got to do something to protect our phony baloney jobs!!

Actually, I think Hedley said it first.

[Ignatz]

“He’d have to have an enormous schvanstuuker!”

“Well, that goes without saying.”

Blazing Saddles is one of my all time favorites. I also love Rocky Horror Picture but can only watch it in a theater. It requires the interaction of an audience to reveal it’s true genius.

"We've got to do something to protect our phoney baloney jobs"!!!

“Dock that chink a days pay”

IIRC, Brooks’ indian headdress was lettered “Kosher for Passover” in Hebrew, or some deliberate misspelling thereof. Mel is truly an equal-opportunity offender. :-)

Oh de camptown ladies sing this song....

[Peter W. Kessler]

“I didn’t get a Hurrumph outa dat guy...”

“Hurrumph!”

“You watch your ass.”

Priceless

[Common Sense 101]

He said, “The sheriff is near...”

[mylife]

That’s racist!

Actually my buddies were Eyetalian.
Our nickname for their Dad was the Wopper.

[hatter]

Absolutely agree with those, but don’t forget “ High Anxiety”
making fun of Nurse Ratchet from Cuckoo’s Nest.

[I still care]

Monty Python would also be out. Every other skit would be considered “racist”.

"I hired you people to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!"

Make this movie today? Fat chance.

Borat showed many similar things and got made. Blazing Saddles could still get made. I think Brooks is wrong.

[Bigg Red]

I tried watching this once. Too much scatology for me.

LOL!!!
