    As someone who wasn’t alive during its release, it really doesn’t hold up well.

    Probably the most boring comedy I’ve seen in my life. Like the most memorable scenes are fart jokes and saying people are stupid? Maybe this was revolutionary at the time but I’d rather watch the Producers, History of the World, or Space Balls any day.

      It’s interesting how perspectives work.

      I never like the Producers at all, I would describe it basically the same way you describe Blazing Saddles, and I love Blazing Saddles (though I hate regular westerns).

      But then both you and I like History of the World and Spaceballs.

      So, like I said, perspectives are strange.
