Blahzing Saddles

cf

After watching Blazing Saddles I began to wonder what is the joke about cowboys farting? Aren't cowboys rather crude individuals. Don't you think they would regularly break wind in a brothel or while in the activity of beastiality? Around a campfire, so what. What is so funny Mel Brooks? What is not funny is that you think you are funny, Mel. Don't force me to think I should laugh. Someone show me how Mel is so blazing funny.
Now, if ballerinas were to fart????
Or, if a fart expert were to fart several times and describe each fart in exquisite, glorious detail and then go on about the history of flatulence and not only that but farting as well.

The Department of Standardization has determined that Don Pirrarro of Bizzarrow comic strip fame is the Comic Standardizer of 2006. His comic concepts have been standardized to such a degree that he may now be called a Master Standardizer. We at the Department of Standardization salute you Don Pirrarro!!!!!

The cowboys are eating beans. get it? The beans, they make them all fart. And they're all eating them, so they ALL fart. The film was released just after the "beans, beans, the magical fruit...." song came out, bean/farting jokes were very "in" during that time. Mel fell victim to his own vanity and wish to be part of the current comedic trend. I am SO glad that movement is over, if i ever hear that song again I'll jam spikes in my eyes. Anyway, back to work..

He roooode a blazing saddle!

OK, beans make people fart.
Mel must not be a comedian of the unexpected.

i love pretty much anything mel brooks does (except for his Robin Hood: Men In Tights debacle), plus i think farts are inherently funny, so he speaks to my sophomoric side.

what kills me is the TV version of that scene where, in a lame effort to shield our children from the terrifying and potentially disastrous effects of hearing a gastrointestinal symphony, the edited version has a soundtrack of horses braying and whinnying, completely killing the point of the scene.

The wagons are circling and the Yalees are wooping, the sun's getting hot, but maybe not.

perhaps cf is too old or too young to get the humor in Blazing Saddles?
